“Mommy, Mina said your pendant was so pretty, so | wanted to show it to her. But then she said she really liked

(Too

Richard's voice cracked, his small frtrembling. “Mommy, I'm sorry!”

With that, he burst into tears, his sobs echoing through the room like a thunderstorm.

Cecilia pouted, her eyes glinting with mischief. “Mommy, Richie's got a crush on Mina.”

Kaia was floored.

Richard is only five years old. How could he get a crush?

“Richie, is Cici telling the truth?” she asked, her tone a mix of disbelief and curiosity.

Richard nodded, tears streaming down his cheeks. “But

Mommy, | don’t like Mina anymore! I'll go get the pendant back!”

Kaia took a deep breath, kneeling to meet his gaze.

“Richard, listen. First, lying is never okay.

“Second, even though I'm your mom, you can’t just take my things without asking. If you want to borrow

something from home, you need our permission, got it?

“And third, you never take things from outside unless they're paid for. Understand?”

Richard sniffled, nodding solemnly. “I'm sorry, Mommy. | know | messed up. You can punish me. | won't eat

tonight!”

Kaia shook her head.

“No cartoons for a week,” she declared firmly.

Richard's eyes widened, his world crumbling.

“Mommy!” he wailed, as if she’d banished his entire universe.

Kaia wasn’t fooled. Richard had just scarfed down yogurt that afternoon, so skipping dinner was his sneaky way

of avoiding real punishment.

Richard shot Cecilia a resentful glance.

Cecilia hummed, fishing two gold pendants from her pocket

ith a smug grin.

“Look, Mommy! I'm so popular. Breck gavethis one, and Ernst gavethat one.”

Kaia’s jaw dropped. “What?!”

“They insisted!” Cecilia chirped, her innocence almost too perfect. “| tried to say no, but they wouldn't take them

back.”

Kaia spotted Lucien strolling in and waved him over frantically. “Lucien, get over here! | can’t handle these two

anymore.”

One kid was a hopeless romantic, and the other...

Cecilia stood there, practically preening with pride.

Kaia was at her wits end.

The next day, Lucien took Cecilia to apologize to her classmates for accepting their expensive gifts.

Kaia, meanwhile, had to deal with Mina Ramos’ father, who kept bowing and apologizing.

“It’s fine,” Kaia said with a warm smile. “Kids will be kids. My boy’s got slearning to do, that’s all.”

She crouched down to Mina’s level, holding out a sparkly haigpin. “Sweetie, how about Richard gives you this

instead?”

Mina’s pout melted into a beaming smile.

“Thank you! | love it!”

Kaia glanced at her son. “This is coming out of your allowance, Richie.”

Richard nodded solemnly. “Thanks, Mommy!”

HHHHH

Back in the car, Lucien pulled out two items.

“These are from Cecilia's classmates’ moms.”

Kaia nearly choked. “Are those for Cici, or are they love tokens for you?”

She didn’t mean to be difficult, but the gifts—a sleek black fountain pen and a wristwatch-were hardly suitable

for a little girl.

Lucien slid an arm around her waist, pulling her close with a playful grin.

“Jealous, darling?”

Kaja scoffed, brushing him off, “As if.” 478

She was not jealous. Not at all.

“Alright,” he chuckled, “but we've got to straighten these kids out. Cici knows she messed up. I'll have another

talk with Richie tonight.”

Kaia nodded. “Sounds good. You handle it.”

They'd agreed long ago: when one parent disciplined, the other stayed out of it.

At least in front of the kids, their authority was a united front.

Landon caught wind of Cecilia's “gold” fiasco and couldn't resist teasing, “Lucien, | hear that gold turned into a

fancy watch. Still got that charm at nearly forty, huh?”

Lucien bristled. He hated it when they brought up age.

He was thirty-nine, and his wife was only thirty-two.

“Landon, are you looking for a fight?”

Alyssa, watching the two grown men bicker, rolled her eyes. “They're all middle-aged men and still acting like

kids.”

Kaia popped a grape into her mouth, smirking. “Who knows what gets into them?”

Outside, the nanny was keeping an eye on the three kids at play.

Dolores noticed Cecilia's unusual quietness and knelt beside her.

“Cici, is everything okay? Someone picking on you at kindergarten?”

Cecilia's lips pursed, and Richard's ears perked up, ready to defend his sister.

He was just as worried.

Despite their constant bickering at home, he’d never let anyone outside mess with her.

“Who's bullying you?” he demanded.

Cecilia sighed tically, “Nobody.

“Don’t worry, Cici. You'll make tons of new friends in elementary school.”

Richard, though, wasn’t so sure. He fretted over whether he'd end up in the sschool as Cecilia.

That night, he tiptoed into his parents’ room, his voice barely above a whisper.

“Mommy, Daddy, can | be in Cici’s class next year?”

Lucien raised an eyebrow. “I thought you didn’t want to share a

class with her.”

Richard squirmed, his cheeks flushing. “I changed my mind! | have to be there so no one picks on Cici.”

Kaia and Lucien exchanged a fond glance, their hearts swelling with pride.

Lucien ruffled Richard's hair. “Alright, buddy, we'll figure it

out.”

Richard scampered off, and minutes later, Cecilia bounded in, her twin braids bouncing.
