Chapter 113 The Ceremony of the Prize-awarding

Suddenly, Sophie turned to Bane with an expectant look on her face and asked, "Mom, are you coming with Dad?"

Instead of a direct response, Bane thought about it for a moment and then said, "Ask Dad that night."

Sophie gave a big smile. "Dad will be there!" she said.

Bane's thoughts began to wander again. She was reminded of the events of the day, and for some reason she did not dare to look Bert in the eye as she had done before, but unconsciously avoided his gaze.

Fortunately, Bert did not come home much these days, and when he was busy, he was not seen all day.

What she had not expected was that Bert was back, and that at dinnertime.

Norton and Sophie were so happy that they circled him from left to right.

"The awards ceremony?

"Rightness! Dad! I wish you would come with mamma, would you?"

Sophie looked at Bert expectantly.

"Dad, it's her first time, so it means a lot," Norton said quickly.

Sophie nodded quickly.

Bert looked at Norton's and Sophie's expectant looks, then turned to Bane, who was sitting to one side.

Bane didn't realize it, and there was a gleam of anticipation on her face.

Bert smiled. "I have a meeting the day after tomorrow," he said.

There was a look of disappointment on the faces turned to Bert.

"The meeting won't take long. Maybe."

The disappointment on three faces disappeared in an instant.

"Dad!" Sophie shouted excitedly. You must remember to come!"

Bert smiled back at Sophie's excitement, and lifted the children into chairs.

While Bane went to the kitchen to bring out the new dishes, he couldn't shake the smile off his face.

Three days later, Sophie woke up very early in the morning, presumably because of the awards ceremony, and called her mother and brother.

Myron had arranged the car and bodyguard early, and could not shake off the smile on his face when he saw Bane leaving with the young man and the young lady.

I wish Mr. Ron had married Miss Reed sooner, so that Mr. Ron would have a complete home, and the old man and the old lady would be at ease in heaven.

The ceremony was at the museum, and it was early in the evening, so Bane took the two kids for a walk to the mall.

Bane's left hand holding Sophie, the right hand holding Norton, because Sophie and Norton's appearance level is too high, but also look very similar, a handsome and cute, so many passers-by's eyes fell on them.

Couple with Bain is also a high level of appearance, passers-by can not avoid envy.

Just then, Norton suddenly tugs Bane's hand and says, "Mom, it won't be long before Dad's birthday. Shall we pick out a present for Dad?"

Bane gasped.

Bert's birthday coming up?

With a twinkle in her eye, Sophie asked, "Brother, how long before Dad's birthday?"

Norton thought for a moment, then replied, "Next month."

"In that case, we should almost start preparing the presents."

But Norton hesitated. "Well, Dad hates birthdays," he said.

Bane knelt down. "Hate birthdays?" he asked.

Norton nods. "I don't know why Dad is in such a bad mood on his birthday."

Bane is confused too, but Norton doesn't know why, so she can only suppress her doubts.

"Mom, I want to give a present to Dad, can I?"

Then Sophie continued, "Buy it quietly, without talking to Dad."

Bane looked at his phone, nodded and said, "No problem. Mom will take you to the store now."

With that, Bane took Sophie and Norton to the department store, with a dozen bodyguards following them closely, fearing something might happen to the two seniors in front.

At the supermarket, Sophie and Norton split up and went to each other's house because they had made an appointment to keep their presents a secret.

Bane shakes his head resignedly, but still doesn't say anything and doesn't try to peek at what Sophie and Norton have in store.

As Bane walked around the supermarket, he suddenly realized that he didn't know what to get Bert.

After all, there was nothing in this building that Bert couldn't get without if he wanted to, and it was too common a gift.

At this time, her eyes suddenly fell on the wool ball not far away, the corners of the mouth could not help but rise up, this is not common things can be sent.

After the purchase, they all carried a bag in their hands, and could not see the contents of the bag.

Bane teased Sophie. "Sophie, can you tell Mum what you've got?"

Sophie quickly hugged the bag into her arms and shook her head.

As soon as Bane's eyes fall on Norton, Norton slips the bag directly into his satchel, apparently refusing to show it to Bane.

Bane smiled and shook his head. "Okay," he said, "I'll see you next month."

Bane stood up, led one in each hand, and said, "The ceremony is about to begin. We must get through."

Sophie paused, then asked, "Mom, what time is Dad coming?"

Bane thought for a moment, then said, "I think we'll be right up. Let's go to the ceremony first."

Bane brought Sophie and Norton to the meeting and took their seats. Norton and Sophie sat next to Bane, whispering in private.

It wasn't long before Sophie's teacher appeared in front of her and said, "Hello Ma 'am, welcome to Sophie's award ceremony."

Knowing it was Sophie's art teacher, Bane stood up and whispered, "Thank you for taking so much care of Sophie."

Mrs. Teacher is a smile, saying: "don't mention it, Sophie is very smart, extremely high painting talent, she would like to be my student, is my blessing, started the awards, the host will read out the name of Sophie, Sophie can be awarded prizes, and also need to take pictures, parents also need to go up."

Bane gasped for a moment at this. Looking at Sophie, she looked at him expectantly, and the words fell off her lips.

After a few casual words with Bane, the teacher left.

Norton checks his wristwatch and whispers to Bane, "Mom, the awards start in half an hour. When's Dad coming?"

Bane took the phone out and said, "Mom, go outside and call your father. You wait here. Mom will be back soon."
