Chapter 728: DINNER
Today was Logan and Landon's first day at school and of course, they both looked very enthusiastic about experiencing this stage of their life, especially Logan who looked very extroverted.
He looked very excited and sometimes, Landon had a hard time keeping up with his twin.
Maybe it was because of his medical condition that made Landon look more tired, so he couldn't follow Logan who was always moving to and fro, unable to stop himself.
Jayden only realized how active his son was when he was one year old, by which time he could walk and could easily escape the scrutiny, because once you took your eyes off of him, the one year old baby would simply disappear from your sight.
While Landon looked a lot calmer, you could leave him in one place for hours and you'd find him in the same place, sitting calmly or sleeping.
"Daddy, you should buy me a bigger bag," Logan said in his childish voice, as he ran to Jayden, dragging his stuffed bag as well as Landon's bag which was half empty, full of toys.
"Logan, you can't take all your toys with you," Jayden said, trying to get his son to stop putting toys in his twin's bag, while Landon didn't really care what Logan was doing, because he was watching his favorite cartoon while drinking milk.
"Why not?" he asked as he looked at Jayden with those innocent and curious eyes.
They were both five years old this year and they had both received huge gifts, where their birthday party was huge and that was also when Logan disappeared and created panic.
They were all frantically looking for where Logan was, while Landon was busy feeding the geese together with Misha, when the incident happened.
The birthday event was indeed outdoor, where there was a swan pond there and small children who came to the party could join in feeding the geese, of course under supervision.
But, at that time, somehow, Logan managed to get past all scrutiny and disappeared.
They searched for the boy for two hours and a commotion ensued, until finally Landon asked what the fuss was about there.
And when Jayden said that his twin had disappeared, he looked calm and quietly said to look for him under the table where they had put the gifts and sure enough, they found Logan sitting under the table opening his presents.
Since there were so many gifts, no one would notice if some were missing.
Over the course of those two hours, Logan had opened five gift boxes, managed to assemble an elaborate replica of a plane and tossed aside a belt with a diamond head from a well-known brand, because he wasn't interested in that sort of thing.
If it weren't for Landon, they might still have to search for Logan for the next few hours.
"But, I want to bring all my toys," said Logan in a stubborn tone of voice, indicating that he would have a tough character later when he grew up.
This kid really looked like Apple. He had to ask Pyro what Apple was like when she was a kid…
"You'll get a new toy when you get to school," Jayden said, trying to persuade his son.
"But, it's not my toy. What if Landon wants to play with this toy?" asked Logan, throwing the ball to Landon's court.
Jayden glanced at Landon who looked very calm, he didn't think his second son would care about toys like this.
"As a good big brother I have to help my brother, right? That's what daddy and mommy said right?" said Logan bluntly.
Jayden wanted to facepalm himself when he heard that, that was something he and Apple had indeed said, but of course in a different context.
Luckily, just at that moment, Apple came with two lunch boxes and when she saw the two bags full of toys, she glared at Logan.
"Logan, what is this?" asked Apple in a calm voice, but this was enough to make the little boy jump in surprise and run to his twin and sit quietly beside him.
"Why are you filling these bags with toys?" asked Apple, frowning when she saw their new bags filled with toys.
"I am bringing them for Landon," Logan said sheepishly because he knew their mother detected his lie.
"Bringing for Landon?" Apple asked, her eyes fixed on Logan and without another word he immediately got off the couch and quickly grabbed the two bags and ran to their playroom. "I will put them back."
"You're really amazing," Jayden said in amazement. "I've persuaded him for so long, but one sentence and one sharp look from you is enough to send the boy scurrying away."
"Is that a compliment?" asked Apple, which made Jayden laugh. "Shouldn't you be at the office already?"
"You didn't think I would miss my sons' first day of school, did you?" Jayden said as he pulled Landon onto his lap, who didn't seem at all bothered by the small commotion just now. "Of course, I will go to the office later this afternoon after dropping my cute sons off at their school. Are you excited, Landon?" Jayden asked his son who was still focused on the television program.
"Hm," Landon replied curtly.
Hearing such an answer, Jayden laughed softly while grimacing. "I kind of got a mini version of my dad as my son," Jayden muttered, which made Apple laugh.
Yes, it could be said that Landon's indifference passed down from Ramon, but of course they were still growing and their personalities could change, right?
On the other hand, Apple just laughed when she heard the comment, while Landon shifted his seat, from Jayden's lap to Apple's lap and then pulled his mother's arms around himself while he leaned back into her chest and continued watching television.
Not long after, Logan returned with two empty bags and climbed onto Jayden's lap and smiled very sweetly at his mother. "I've cleaned up the toys, don't you want to compliment me?" he asked.
Wasn't he the one who made the mess himself? How could he ask to be praised?
Huft… these kids…
=========================
"Land!" cried Logan, running to his twin room. "You have to help me!" he cried in a loud voice that made Landon frown, because he was a little sensitive to loud voices.
"What is it?" Landon asked, but he didn't get out of bed.
"I want to cook for mommy and daddy because it's their twelfth wedding anniversary and I want to make steak," said Logan excitedly. He then approached Landon and began to pull his brother's hand. "Come here quickly, you have to help too."
"Logan, you can't cook," Landon reminded him. It could be said that Logan really sucked at cooking, therefore, he couldn't understand why Logan wanted to gift their parents his homemade food.
Jayden and Apple weren't home, they had both been away on vacation for three days now and would be back this afternoon and at random, Logan came up with this idea to cook dinner for their parents, as their anniversary gift.
"Don't worry, I have watched the video tutorial many times and it looks easy." Logan didn't stop pulling Landon's hand until they reached the kitchen, which looked quite empty. It was not usually an empty place.
"Where are the servants?" If the butler was here, he would have told Lagon not to do what he wanted to do now.
"They are resting, I said that I don't want to eat anything and you also don't want to eat dinner because daddy and mommy will bring food later, so when I told them to leave the kitchen, they just seem to listen," said Logan casually.
"You are lying," Landon said in a firm voice.
"I am not lying…. Well, just a bit of a lie, I just want to surprise our parents and give them a present with my own efforts." Logan then grabbed something from the countertop and showed it to Landon.
"What are you going to do with these potatoes?" asked Landon confusedly when he saw Logan thrust two potatoes at him.
"I wanted to make mashed potatoes, but these potatoes are so hard." He looked at the two potatoes with a furrowed brow. "I have tried to pound it but it's so hard, I can't do it."
Landon then took the two potatoes from his twin's hands and he immediately knew where the problem lay.
"Have you boiled them?" he asked with a sharp look.
Logan was born first, which made him the older brother, but sometimes he acted more like a little brother.
"Do they have to be boiled first?" he asked with an innocent face.
Hearing this answer, Landon closed his eyes, trying to be patient with Logan, he then took the pot that was there and filled it with water.
"Of course you have to boil it first, so it's soft and you can mash it," said Landon in his usual teaching tone. "Actually, what kind of tutorial did you watch?"
Meanwhile, Logan followed Landon and watched him closely. "What else do we have to do after this?"
In the end, it was Landon who cooked Logan's planned dinner.
"Okay! Everything is in order! We have worked hard!" exclaimed Logan happily as he hugged his twin.
But, Landon just glared at Logan. "I did all of this."
"I made the plan, you executed, isn't that a good cooperation?"
