Chapter 19: Paper Airplane

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

I was so embarrassed that a child had seen all this.

I think I’ll have to hide from this family forever.

When I returned home after calming down, the two little kids were watching TV together.

I told them as if nothing had happened,?“Mommy’s already taken care of it, babies. It’s time to bathe and sleep.”

Seeing Nicole sitting on the sofa, refusing to come over, I asked curiously,?“Nicole, don’t you want to take a bath?”

Noelle nervously pinched the hem of his little suit and stammered,?“Mommy, I… I don’t want to bathe today…”

Since that was the case, I didn’t force her. I led Winnie into the bathroom.

After barely escaping one ordeal, Noelle was faced with another difficult problem.

“Baby, it’s okay if you don’t bathe. You still have to change your clothes,”?I said, holding up one of Nicole’s pale yellow nightgowns.

Winnie had already changed into her nightdress and was sitting obediently by the bed. She reminded her,?“Nicole, how uncomfortable would it be for you to sleep in a suit?”

Being urged to change clothes by two person of the opposite sex was the biggest problem Noelle had encountered in his life. He could only ask weakly,?“Can I not change…”

He was a boy, he definitely could not wear a skirt!

“Why not?”

Nicole did not bathe today and was unwilling to change into her nightdress. This was truly abnormal.

“Are you sick?”?I leaned over and touched Nicole’s forehead. Her temperature was normal.

Afraid of being exposed, Noelle stiffened when he was touched on the forehead. Thankfully, mommy hadn’t noticed. Sighing in relief, Noelle explained,?“I don’t want to wear a dress.”

“But girls wear nightdresses.”?Winnie carried the doll and walked over. She held Noelle’s hand and coaxed,?“Shall I help you wear it?”

Noelle wanted to argue that he wasn’t a girl and didn’t need a nightdress at all, but when he opened his mouth, he didn’t know what other excuses to give.

Seeing Nicole’s reluctance, I rummaged through my closet and found a pair of pajama pants. They were blue with teddy bears on it. I handed them to Nicole.

Noelle looked at the cute bear pajamas in his hand and lowered his head silently.?“I, I’m going to the toilet.”

With that, Noelle ran into the bathroom with the pajamas in his arms.

“Look at how hurried he is.”?I shook my head helplessly.

After the two little kids were tucked in their respective beds, I covered them with a blanket. I looked at the fairy tale book and slowly read,?“In the Dwarf Kingdom, there was a princess…”

“Click.”

Noelle opened his eyes in the darkness when he heard the soft click of the door closing.

Sleeping after listening to the princess’ story was indeed not suitable for boys, Noelle thought.

As he tiptoed to his feet and prepared to leave, he heard Winnie whisper behind him,?“Nicole, where are you going?”

Noelle stiffened.?“I’m going to the bathroom,”?he whispered back.

“Oh.”?Winnie rolled over and went back to sleep.

Noelle then crept out to find her mommy already asleep. The house was dark.

Then, he carefully walked to the balcony and tiptoed to look at the window.

Nicole was woken up by a light tapping sound.

As she was confusedly looking around for the source of the sound, Nicole suddenly saw a paper airplane crash against the window of the room, creating a tapping sound.

Right after, a pink light flashed in the window of the house opposite.

Only then did Nicole realize that someone was calling her.

Nicole got off the bed barefooted, then opened the window and saw a blurry figure standing on the balcony opposite her house.

The figure used her toy wand to illuminate his face so that Nicole could see it clearly.

That person was Noelle, who had swapped identities with her.
