"Oh, you've finished drinking too."

Connor looked at Pitt's empty cup, his face full of disappointment, noticing that Pitt was trying to hide his cup's intention.

Horden, who was worried that Zach would stuff his entire head into the cup, glanced at Pitt in his eyes and smiled, "Can you please bring the fairy tale book over? Pitt?"

"It may be too late to do extracurricular tutoring alone today, but I can read a story for you and then it should be dinner time. What do you think?"

Before Horden's words could be put down, Connor was the first to yell, "Okay, okay! I'll go! I'll go!" He was still standing on the chair and his mouth flew into the bedroom to find the fairy tale book.

Hoden laughed in silence and said to Peter again, "Do you have any questions about homework that need me to answer? Maybe I can prepare mentally in advance."

Pete didn't say anything, just nodded silently, then stood up and walked towards his room.

Behind his footsteps, Connor's little tail kept shouting "I'll come, I'll come." He overcame Pete, rushed into the room like a tornado, and then rushed out with another whistling sound, but this time he had an old fairy tale book in his hand.

"Hodden!"

Connor placed the fairy tale book in front of Hoden, then climbed back on his chair, with his red cheeks full of anticipation.

Hoden put Zach on the seat next to him. Connor couldn't wait to turn the fairy tale book to the story page he wanted to listen to, and complained in his mouth that Pitt refused to read it to them. At this time, Pitt, who was slowly sitting down opposite him, was a little embarrassed.

"So, are you ready now? I'll read this story of 'Frog and Mom' for you." The smile on the corner of Hoden's mouth couldn't help but rise. He could vaguely understand what Pitt felt with two naughty brothers, and he should have felt tired all the time.

Not to mention Pete, Horden had only been in less than five minutes, and the chirping noises were as good as the brain-filling sounds of magic sounds.

But at this moment, when Connor and Zach heard that Hoden were about to tell a story, they calmed down, staring at Hoden with big eyes and looking forward to it.

Stress is huge.

"There was a little frog in the past. He was very naughty and never listened to his mother."

"The frog mother was worried about the safety of the little frog and kept dissuading him to prevent him from going to dangerous places; but the little frog refused to listen to his mother's words. He had to go where his mother didn't let him go."

Hoden slowed down his speech and tone and told the fairy tale very patiently. Connor and Zach listened very attentively, and then Pete suddenly said, "Isn't this Connor?"

Connor shyly covered his cheeks with his hands, "Peter! I didn't!"

Huo Deng couldn't help but burst into laughter and continued to recite the fairy tale.

"The little frog is so naughty every day. Then one day, the frog mother fell seriously ill and was about to end her life. She lay on the hospital bed and was dying, but she was always worried about the naughty little frog, so she called the little frog to the bed."

"The little frog realized that his mother was about to leave him at this moment. He also shed tears and said to his mother crying, "I'm sorry, mom, don't leave, I will be obedient in the future."

The whole room became quiet, and even Zach made no sound, just staring at Huoden blankly.

Horden wasn't sure if he understood the content of the fairy tale, but Zach could feel the sadness and loss in Horden's voice.

Connor unknowingly grabbed the sleeve of Hoden's clothes and his expression became sad.

"The frog mother hopes to be with her children forever, so she hopes that she can be buried in the ground. But she is worried that the little frog may be disobedient, so she told the child that she hopes that the child can bury herself in the sea. 'Don't be disobedient this time, please bury me in the sea.'"

"But the frog mother didn't expect that the little frog was really obedient this time and buried his mother in the sea. Then the frog mother could no longer be with the little frog."

Huo Deng was also somewhat surprised by the ending of the fairy tale. He never expected that this was a dark fairy tale, which inadvertently awakened his fragility hidden in the depths of his memory, and his voice unconsciously stained with a little sadness.

Connor seemed to feel the sadness on Hoden's body, and his little hands couldn't help but tighten, sobbing in a low voice, "Little frog... Is the little frog forever... Is the little frog forever... Is the mother of the frog forever... Is the mother of the frog forever... Is the mother of the frog forever... Is the mother of the frog forever? The mother of the frog... Is the mother of the mom so pitiful..."

As he spoke, Connor firmly held Hoden's wrist, as if he was catching a life-saving straw. Crystal tears were hanging on his little face, falling down largely.

Zach, who was sitting next to him, was not able to understand the profound meaning of the fairy tale, but he just felt the lingering sadness. Even Pete was immersed in his thoughts and lowered his head. This seemed to scare the little guy and burst into tears with a "wow".

"Mom...Mom..." Zach started howling regardless of the situation.

Horden was a little busy and didn't care about his emotions. He quickly picked up Zach, patted Zach's back gently to soothe his emotions. Then he turned to look at Connor, wiped the tears on the little guy's face with his right hand, and comforted him repeatedly, "So when my mother is still by my side, we should cherish it, do you understand?"

"We should learn to love our mother, tell our mother what we think, cherish every minute and every second we are by our side, and don't wait until we lose it before we know how to cherish it." Hoden smiled at Connor, but the effect was still limited, because Zach's crying seriously damaged the emotions in his words.

In desperation, Hoden had an idea, quietly accumulated some light elements in his left palm, gently patted Zach's back, and then focused on Connor, blending some light elements into his voice, and comforted in a low voice, "Connor's mother is still by his side, right?"

The faint warmth fell down sparsely, and Connor and Zach's emotions stabilized a little. Then Connor stared at Hoden with wide eyes and asked with a strong nasal voice, "Really? Will mom still be by my side?"

"Of course, my mother hopes to protect Connor to grow up, and Zach and Pete, as well as Jasmine and Dad, everyone will be firmly reunited. If possible, Connor should tell his mother how he feels and let his mother know that Connor has been in love with her silently." The smile on the corner of Hoden's mouth rose gently, and the warmth in his voice was becoming deep and real.

Connor pouted his mouth and nodded, raised his hand and wiped the tears from his cheeks randomly, and then his eyelids began to droop.
