They nodded and Junxie Yu took a deep breath. He looked at Ms Diddyhelplessly. He wished he could escape from this situation but he has nowhere to escape to.
"Once upon a time, the jungle had only one king.." Junxie Yu paused. What was he going to say next about the jungle and it's king?
He looked at Ms Diddy and the latter gave a shrug. Even she doesn't know what happened in that jungle nor to it's king.
"Yes, go on,". Emily demanded, listening with rapt attention. Junxie Yu smiled. Wasn't it supposed to be a bedtime story? Why are their eyes open and void of sleepiness?.
He thought once he opened his mouth, they would start dozing off. But now, they want to hear about his fabricated story and Ms Diddy is not willing to bail him out.
"..ehm..yes, the king of the jungle was a lion, the biggest one in the world. So big with sharp claws capable of destroying any living animal or human being.
Whenever it's hungry it roared like this rah..hhh.." Junxie Yu made the sound of the roar and Ms Diddy was stunned.
What kind of a bedtime story was this? But before she could winked at Junxie Yu, she heard "Ahh….hhhhhh!!!!" from the kids and closed their ears.
Junxie Yy was surprised. He looked at the twins in astonishment. Should they be applauding him? But why the sudden scream and closing of their ears?.
"Too scary daddy!!". Conar declared and hid himself under the quilt. Emily followed suit. They covered themselves and didn't even let their head out.
Junxie Yu stood up and went away. The story was indeed scary and that was all he could think of and quickly made up to tell them.
Aren't they the ones who wanted a bedtime story before they could sleep. He sat on the sofa in the sitting room. And less than twenty minutes later, Ms Diddy walked out of the room.
"Are they asleep?" Junxie Yu asked and Ms Diddy nodded.
"Since I don't know which fairy story their mother told them halfway, I sang them a poem and they drifted off to sleep.
But eldest master, that story you were telling them was indeed scary. How do you want kids like them to sleep without having a nightmare?" Ms Diddy complained.
"I couldn't think of anything else,"Junxie Yu answered and sank into the chair. He is addicted to Ms Diddy. She knows him as much as his mother does.
"If I am not trespassing, can I ask you a question eldest master?". Ms Diddy requested.
Junxie Yu sighed audibly. He knows Ms Diddy was going to ask him about how the twins came about. He can't deny her any information she asks from him.
