Trapped in Love

âItâs a bit convincing, but it doesnât mean you love Mommy!â Tyler responded.
Evan asked, âWhat would you like, then?â
Tyler thought for a moment. âI donât fully understand how men and women relate, but I know that love means Mommy is happy and not crying because of you!â
Evan smiled at Tyler. âYouâre right, but itâs normal for adults to have disagreements. Your mom and I sometimes misunderstand each other, but we wonât fight or have conflicts as long as we work things out slowly.â
Tyler asked, âSo, youâre saying you and Mommy have resolved your disagreements?â
âMore or less, I can make you a promise, Evan assured.
Tyler asked, âWhatâs the promise?â
Evan stated, âIâll make your mom the happiest woman in the world if she agrees to be with me.â
Tyler looked at him. âDo you really mean it?â
Evan answered earnestly, âYesâ
Tyler stood up and approached him, extending his little fist. âPromise on your life and seal the deal with a fist bump!â
Evanâs expression turned serious. âWhere did you learn to talk like that?â
Tyler replied, âWhatâs the point of making a promise if you canât keep it?â
Evan narrowed his eyes. âIf you say something like that again, Iâll correct you seriously!â
Tyler said, âOkay!â
Evan extended his hand for a fist bump, and they sealed the deal.
Despite his apparent maturity, Tyler was still just a child. Evan understood that making a promise would dispel his sulkiness since children were innocent in that way.

They headed downstairs, and Tyler had returned to his usual self.
Caroline hurriedly knelt before Tyler. âTy, are you alright?â
Tyler smiled graciously. âMommy, am I being too narrowâminded?
âOh, my⦠Someone was sulking earlier,â Liora teased.
Axel affectionately ruffled Lioraâs hair. âDonât tease your brother, Lia.â
Tyler glanced at Liora and brushed her off. He told Caroline, Iâm sorry for worrying you, Mommy,â
Caroline was relieved. âIâm glad youâre all okay.â
âLetâs go to school, Mommy!â
The children would go back to school today.
Axel went to school but returned home due to his health condition.
Eira was not at home, and Caroline couldnât leave Axel with the bodyguards, so she took him to work.
Caroline pondered with Axel after arriving at the company. âAxel, would you like a tutor?â
Axel looked up at Caroline. âWhat would you like me to learn, Mommy?â
âLanguage and mathematics, perhaps? Otherwise, you might find catching up with your classmates.
challenging after being out of school for a while.â
Axel replied, âElementary school subjects are easy, Mommy.â
Caroline asked, âHave you covered all of them?â
Axel nodded. âIâve learned everything while being at home alone.â
Carolineâs heart ached. âWere you often alone at home before?â
âThatâs in the past, Mommy. Iâm not lonely anymore. I have you, Tyler, and Liora now.â Axel held Carolineâs hand tightly.
Caroline hugged Axel. âAxel, I might not have much free time, but Iâll do my best to find time for you.â
