�Let us massage you a little longer if you like it so much, Mommy!�

�Are you hungry, Mommy? We made you dessert��

�Why don�t you go lie down on the couch and watch TV, Mommy? That way, you can relax!�

Renee�s shrewd mind quickly caught on that something was wrong.

�What naughty schemes are you guys plotting behind my back this time?� she asked them in a grave tone with a stony face. �Why are you trying to stop me from going into the bedroom?�

�Well� Um��

Abby was a sensitive girl, so she could not help it when her lovely eyes darted shiftily towards the bedroom behind her mother. It was clear that she was feeling guilty, and was about to confess everything. But Adie remained completely unruffled in the face of danger when he calmly told his mother,

�You�ve seen how good we�ve been, Mommy! How could we be plotting anything behind your back when we�re such good children?�

�Are you good children?� asked Renee. �I didn�t notice!�

At this point, Renee was a hundred percent sure that these rascals were hiding something from her. In fact, it was probably something more serious than usual as well. Judging from her past experiences with them and her knowledge of their abilities, she would not even be surprised if it turned out that they managed to turn the whole world upside down.

�Fine,� Adie stretched out his arms in a helpless manner, �I know we can never hide anything from your eagle eyes� We have indeed done something, Mommy, but it�s not something bad at all. In fact, we did it to help you, although you might not like the way we did it.�

Renee�s heart froze as soon as she heard what Adie said.

�This is bad,� she thought. �This is really bad. Even Adie, the sly little fox, admitted to his crimes beforehand in a bid to appease her. These kids must�ve caused some kind of calamity if they acted this way!�

�Tell me, what did you do?!�

�If we tell you, you must promise not to get angry at us or spank us��

�Okay, I promise not to get angry, and I won�t spank you unless it�s absolutely necessary.�

With one hand on the wall and one hand clutching her heart, Renee was now mentally prepared to hear the truth.

�Well� it�s difficult to explain with words. I think you�d better go inside and see for yourself, Mommy. Just don�t be too grateful to us!�

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly kept a safe distance of twenty feet away from Renee. Abby timidly hid behind her brother and whispered in his ear, �Are you sure Mommy won�t get angry, Adie? Why do I feel that we�ve really gone too far this time?�

�She can�t be angry at us for this! In fact, I think it�s likely that she might praise us for doing a great job since we punished the evil man, after all!� JrNovels.com
