You married Lorenzo for business reasons. Since you’re a laid-back person, you didn’t really mind. Besides, he is not complicated. Once he makes a commitment, he means it. He turned out to be a responsible, reliable husband.

Fast forward, you gave birth to twins. Ethan came first, and six minutes later Aria arrived. Raising two kids at once has never been easy, especially now that they are both toddlers.

One night, Lorenzo had just come home from work. Ethan was already calm in his room. Like you, he is not the type to complain much. Meanwhile, you were struggling to get Aria to sleep. She just wanted to keep playing. Stubborn and calculating, just like her dad.

Lorenzo stepped in to help, but Aria still refused. Then she suddenly blurted out, “You barely ever play with me, and I don’t complain. So you can’t boss me around either, daddy.”

You and Lorenzo froze, staring at each other in disbelief, wondering how a child that small could already talk like that.
