Corinne yawned and scratched her messy hair.

Left without a choice, she got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. She then changed her clothes and followed Annie downstairs.
The three kids slept with Francine last night. By the tCorinne went downstairs, they were already sitting in the dining room, waiting for breakfast to be served.
For the past few days, Francine really pulled her weight in helping Corinne take care of the kids since she could tell how tired her sister-in-law was. Corinne was grateful when Francine volunteered to put the kids to bed at night.
"Joey, Bryan, Christine! Let's go have breakfast outside today," said Corinne while waving them over.
Annie pulled Corinne's arm. "No, Corinne. Don't bring the kids. Otherwise, you'll be too busy looking after them to talk with my friend. Francine already said she'd take care of the kids today. Right, Francine?" Francine naturally knew Annie was taking Corinne to see her therapist friend, so she nodded rapidly. "Yeah! Don’t worry about the kids and just have fun, Corinne." Corinne frowned. "What's the point ofgoing if | don't take the kids?" she said while walking over to pick up the quiet 'Bryan'.
'Well, | guess taking three kids would really be inconvenient,’ she thought.

Francine and Annie exchanged glances with each other before nodding." Okay. Don't worry, Corinne. I'll take good care of Joey and Christine, and | won't take them out." Corinne was not worried about leaving Joey and Christine with Francine at all. After all, Francine was more mature than when Corinne first met her. Not to mention, Francine was just as cautious about the kids' safety as Corinne was. 1 After giving a few more instructions to Francine, Corinne-with 'Bryan' in her arms-turned around to leave when she felt someone tugging at her clothes.
She turned back around and saw Christine looking up at her with her big, bright eyes. "Mommy, why are you only taking Bryan out with you? Joey and | want to go out and play with you, too!" "Hush now, Christine. Mommy's not going out to play. Mommy's taking Bryan to see a doctor. Mommy will bring stoys back for you two if you stay hand be a good girl to your Aunt Francine, okay?" said Christine gently.
The upset Christine pouted and looked at 'Bryan'. "Mommy, what's wrong with Bryan? Why are you taking him to the doctor?" Corinne stroked her head. "Don't worry. There's nothing wrong with Bryan. Mommy's just taking him to do scheck-ups." After thinking about it, Christine let go of her hand reluctantly. "Oh... Okay, then. Please cback early, Mommy." "You got it!" After that, Corinne said a few words to Joey too, telling him to listen to Francine and play with Christine.
Joey nodded obediently and waved her goodbye.
After coming out of the mansion, Corinne got into the car with 'Bryan' in her arms.
Annie passed her the breakfast she bought on her way over.
"Here you go, Corinne. You and Bryan eat this first. I'll ask my friend to cook us something better once we're at his place." Corinne was not hungry, but she still accepted the takeout bag. She then took out a sandwich and gave it to ‘Bryan’.
