Chud smiled, took the basket and lifted Zoey, carrying her outside “Then are going to be delicious” he kissed her cheek and set the basket on the grass “Ok we need to talk to you” Chud began, sitting on a chair while the boys and Zoey sat on the grass.
“Your mom and I are going to be away for a week and you’re going to stay here” the boys looked each others and Zoey to her mom “We’re not crazy, kids. You’re not going to be alone but can’t go with us because of school and you two are not doing a good job with that. I’m not happy” Chud told to Ben and Alan.
Ben and Alan both played with their phones to ignore what Chud was saying about their school work. Rowan frowned and slap the phones out of their hands. “Your father’s right. You guys get into so much trouble, I swear… I’m tired of the phone calls,” Rowan added.
Zoey giggled, it was always fun to see her brothers get into trouble. She snuggled into her fathers arms and watched as Ben and Alan looked annoyed. Zoey, on the other hand, had been doing very well in school. She enjoyed it, and it seemed no one wanted to mess with her because of her last name.
