"Oh, you've run out of drinks, too. ”

Connor looked at Pete's empty cup with a look of disappointment, unaware of Pete's intentions in trying to hide his own.

Horden, who was worried about Zach stuffing his whole head into the cup, glanced at Pete and smiled, "Can you please bring the fairy tale book?"

"It may be a bit too late to do a separate tutoring session today, but I can read a story to you and then it should be dinner time, what do you think?"

Before Hoden's words could fall, Connor was the first to shout, "Okay, okay, okay! I'll go!" He didn't have time to stand in his chair before his mouth flew to the bedroom looking for fairy tale books.

Hodden smiled dumbly and said to Pete again, "Do you have any homework questions that I need to answer?" ”

Pete didn't speak, just nodded silently, then stood up as well and walked in the direction of his room.

Following Connor's little tail, he kept yelling "I'm coming, I'm coming", and he overtook Pete and rushed into the room like a tornado, and then rushed out with a whistling, but this time with an old fairy tale book in his hand.

"Hoden!"

Connor placed the fairy tale book in front of Howlen and climbed back into his chair, red cheeks full of anticipation.

Hodden put Zach on the seat next to him, Connor couldn't wait to turn the fairy tale book to the page of the story he wanted to listen to, babbling about Pete's refusal to read to them, and Pete, who was slowly sitting down across from him, was a little embarrassed.

"So, are you ready now? I'm going to read you the story of the 'Frog and the Mother'. The smile on the corner of Holden's mouth couldn't help but rise, he could vaguely understand Pete's feelings with his two naughty egg brothers, he should be feeling tired all the time.

Not to mention Pete, Hoden had only been in for less than five minutes, and the noise of chirping was already comparable to a magic sound.

But at this time, hearing that Hoden was about to tell the story, Connor and Zach both fell silent, staring at Hoden with wide eyes and full of anticipation.

The pressure is high.

"Once upon a time there was a little frog who was very naughty and never listened to his mother. ”

The mother frog was worried about the safety of the little frog, and kept dissuading him from going to dangerous places, but the little frog refused to listen to his mother, and he had to go where his mother would not let him go. ”

Hodden slowed down his speech and intonation, and told the fairy tale very patiently, and both Connor and Zach listened very attentively, and then Pete suddenly said, "Isn't this Connor?"

Connor shyly covered his cheeks with his hands, "Pete, I didn't!"

Hodden couldn't help but laugh and continued to read the fairy tale.

"The little frog was so naughty every day, and then one day, the mother frog was seriously ill and was about to end her life, she lay on the hospital bed and was dying, but she was always relieved not to be naughty little frog, so she called the little frog to the bedside. ”

The little frog realized at this time that his mother was about to leave him, and he also left tears, crying and saying to his mother, I'm sorry, don't go, Mom, I will be obedient in the future. ”

The whole room fell silent, and even Zach didn't make a sound, just staring at Hodden blankly.

Hoden wasn't sure if he understood the fairy tale, but Zach could feel the sadness and loss in Hoden's voice.

Connor unconsciously grabbed the sleeve of Howlen's coat, and his expression became sad.

"The frog mother wanted to be with the child forever, so she hoped that she could be buried in the ground, but she was worried that the little frog might be disobedient again, so she told the child that she hoped the child could bury herself in the sea, 'Don't be disobedient this time, please bury me in the sea.' ’”

But the mother frog didn't expect that the little frog was really obedient this time, and buried her mother in the sea, and then the mother frog would no longer be able to be by the little frog's side. ”

Hodden was also a little surprised by the ending of the fairy tale, he never expected that this was actually a dark fairy tale, inadvertently awakening the fragility hidden in the depths of his memory, and his voice was unconsciously dyed with a little sadness.

Connor seemed to feel the sadness in Holden's body, and his little hands couldn't help but clench tighter, and he sobbed in a low voice, "Little frog...... Isn't the little frog forever...... I'll never see my mother again?Huo ...... Holden ...... Mother Frog Isn't ...... Forever Forever asleep in the sea? Mother Frog ...... Mommy is so pathetic......"

As he spoke, Connor firmly grasped Holden's wrist as if grasping at a life-saving straw, and the small face was covered with crystal teardrops, falling down in large pieces.

Zach, who was sitting next to him, didn't know why, he couldn't understand the deep meaning of the fairy tale, but he just felt the lingering sadness, and even Pete was immersed in his own thoughts and lowered his head, which seemed to frighten the little guy, and he howled and cried with a "wow".

"Mom...... Mom ......" Zach howled in a careless manner.

Hordon was a little in a hurry, not caring about his emotions, so he quickly picked up Zack, patted Zack's back gently, and soothed his emotions, then turned his head to look at Connor, wiped the tears on the little guy's face with his right hand, and comforted him again and again, "So when Mom is still around, we should cherish it, understand?"

"We should learn to love our mothers, tell our mothers what we think, cherish every moment of our mother's side, and don't wait until we lose to know how to cherish them. Haddon gave Connor a big smile, but the effect was still limited, as Zack's crying severely undermined the mood in the words.

In desperation, Horden had an idea, quietly accumulated some light elements in the palm of his left hand, gently patted Zack's back, and then stared at Connor intently, integrating some light elements into his voice, and whispered comforting, "Connor's mother is still around, right?"

The faint warmth spilled down, and both Connor and Zach's emotions stabilized a little, and then Connor stared at Holden with wide eyes, and asked in a thick nasal voice, "Really? Will Mom still be by my side?"

"Of course, Mom wants to keep Connor growing up, and Zach and Pete, and Jasmine and Dad, and everyone will be firmly together. If he could, Connor should tell his mother how he really felt, so that her mother would know that Connor had been silently loving her. The smile on Holden's lips rose slightly, and the warmth in his voice was becoming deeply real.

Connor nodded as if he didn't understand, raised his little hand to wipe the tears from his cheeks, and then his eyelids began to droop.
