Sierra's hand stopped in the middle air after she heard that question. Her eyes widened but she hid it before any of her children could have even taken notice of the same.
Instead of elaborating, Sierra kept on cleaning Ailey's spot on the skirt with tissue but Noah was persistent to ask, "Tell me, mommy! When will daddy come to us?"
"Yes, mum. When will father come to visit us here?" Ailey asked, adding to the same longing to see and meet her father.
At this stage, Sierra really wanted to cry. Her inner self wanted to just change the question but she knew this too well that if she doesn't answer, they will continue to pester.
Clearing her throat, Sierra answered in her usual tone, "I told you that your father had some work back at state. He will come when he has enough time to be here. I can't give you any date.."
