Natalie nodded in agreement. “That's not a bad idea. What do you guys think?”
She turned to look at the twins.
Naturally, the children were thrilled by the suggestion.
Sharon immediately shot her hand up into the air. “The aquarium! I want to go to the
aquarium! I want to see the many, many giant whales!”
As an emphasis, she stretched her arms to the side when she said “many.”
However, Connor pressed down her arms and objected, “No. Let's go to the technopole! I
want to see all the cool technology!”
“Aquarium.”
“Technology city.”
“Aquarium!”
“Technology city!”
The children broke out into an argument as to where they should go.
Seeing that the twins' faces were turning red in anger, Natalie and Shane quickly
intervened and picked up one of the twins in their arms respectively.
“What's going on with the two of you?” Natalie's expression turned grim. “Why are you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfighting?”
Shane frowned, “Haven't you two always been close with each other? What's going on?”
Sharon fiddled with her fingers. “I wanna go to the aquarium, but Connor wants to go to
the technopole.”
On the other hand, Connor merely lowered his head in silence.
The guilt of arguing with his sister was starting to weigh him down.
Natalie sighed. “So you fought with your brother just because you two wanted to go to
different places?”
In response to Natalie's reprimand, Sharon lowered her head in shame as well.
Just then, Connor clenched his fingers as though he was making up his mind. He raised his
head and decided, “How about we don't go to the technopole? Let's go to the aquarium.
I'm the older twin. I should let my younger sister have her way.”
“Connor...” Sharon looked at Connor, moved by his decision to back down.
To their surprise, Natalie furrowed her brows. “No.”
“Why not?” Connor and Sharon asked in unison as they turned to look at her.
Tossing Connor a tender look, Natalie smiled. “Connor, I know you're a good kid and that
you know how to give way to your younger sister. However, that doesn't mean you should
let your sister have her way all the time in all situations. You're not much older than
Sharon. The two of you are the same age. You don't have to give up all your wants for her,
understood?”
Shane flicked the children's foreheads lightly. “That's right. Even though the two of you
disagree on where we should go, you still shouldn't argue but rather discuss it with us to
come to a final decision. Mommy and I are spending time with you two today. Of course,
we'll want the two of you to have as much fun as possible. So, Connor, there's no need to
compromise what you want for Sharon. We'll bring you to all the places that you guys
want to go.”
Shane and Natalie shared the same opinion. He did not think that the eldest must always
let their younger siblings get their way. Instead, he merely believed that brothers should
protect their younger sisters.
Therefore, in his opinion, Connor did not have to compromise by choosing to go to the
place Sharon wanted to go to.
He had the right to insist on going to the place he wanted to visit.
As parents, Shane and Natalie had the ability to fulfill both of their wishes.
“Daddy. Mommy.” Connor beamed happily at Shane and Natalie.
He had always known that his parents were open-minded and would treat him and Sharon
fairly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYet, it was only at that moment did he realize that Shane and Natalie were even more
open-minded than he had expected.
Meanwhile, Sharon was listening to what Shane and Natalie were saying. Understanding
dawned on her. Turning to Connor, she held his hand. “I'm sorry, Connor. I shouldn't have
let you compromise, and I shouldn't have taken your sacrifices for granted. Mommy is
right. I'm the same age as you. You don't have to let me have my way all the time because
you need to be cared for too.”
When they heard what Sharon had said, both Shane and Natalie were stunned.
Neither of them had expected Sharon to act so maturely.
Unlike Connor, Sharon was not gifted with a high IQ. She was just an ordinary child.
By right, a child her age should not be able to understand such complex logic.
Nonetheless, Sharon had exceeded their expectations. Not only could she understand the
reasoning, but she could voice out her understanding as well.
It was natural for them to be shocked.
At the same time, they were beyond proud as parents that their daughter was
understanding.
“Sharon.” Natalie pulled Sharon into her arms and nuzzled the child's head with her own.
“You're amazing. I'm so proud of you.”
