Chapter 483: Do you despise me too?
Isaac's mouth twitched, and he had to let go of Soren.
As soon as Soren was free, she immediately took several steps back, putting distance between them, and warily covered her mouth and nose with her hand.
Isaac was both amused and exasperated.
He had only smoked a few cigarettes, and Soren was already this disgusted.
Alright, he did smoke quite a bit.
"Daddy, why do you smell so bad? Worse than a bathroom. Doesn't Mommy mind?"
Soren blinked his big eyes, her sweet, childish voice delivering a rather harsh statement.
Isaac's expression changed a bit.
The smell of smoke was unpleasant, but not worse than a bathroom, right?
Isaac sighed and said with a wry smile, "It's my fault. I'll take a shower and brush my teeth as soon as we get home. I won't let this smell cling to me again."
Soren blinked, "Daddy, you have to keep your word. If you smell like this, I won't hug or kiss you. If I get this stinky smell on me, the kids at kindergarten will avoid me and won't play with me."
Isaac nodded, "Alright, I got it."
Isaac stood up, walked to the car, and opened the back door, specifically opening the door opposite the driver's seat for her. "Get in the car, let's go home."
Soren climbed into the car with her short legs and sat in the child seat.
Isaac buckled her in, making sure everything was secure before getting into the driver's seat.
"Daddy, can you open the window a little? The car smells bad too, it's so uncomfortable!" Soren said, swinging her short legs and looking distressed.
Isaac opened the window a bit for her.
Soren immediately pressed her face against the window, taking deep breaths of the fresh air outside.
The car started and headed home.
When they passed the supermarket, he took Soren out of the car and went into the supermarket together. They bought some groceries and also got some snacks that Soren liked.
Soren didn't forget to pick out a few snacks for Magnus as well.
When they got home, Magnus had already come out of the bedroom, and his mood had clearly improved.
Nora was playing with him in the living room.
"Mommy!"
As soon as Soren entered, she happily ran towards Nora.
Nora put down the toy in her hand, a gentle smile appearing on her face, and opened her arms to welcome the approaching Soren.
"Mommy, I missed you so much."
Soren hugged Nora tightly, her legs bouncing up and down.
Nora felt like she was holding a little electric toy, and she laughed, patting Soren's little head. "I missed you too. I'm so happy to see you still so cute and lively."
Soren said, "Mommy should say, after not seeing me for a while, I'm even cuter than before!"
Looking at the mischievous Soren, Nora laughed and gently tapped her little nose. "Yes, our little princess is even cuter than before."
Soren laughed happily.
She stepped back from Nora's embrace, ran to Magnus with her little backpack, and blinked her big eyes at him. "Magnus, Daddy said you weren't feeling well. Where do you feel bad? Are you better now?"
Her big eyes were filled with concern and care.
Magnus shook his head, "I'm fine now."
The worry on Soren's face immediately disappeared.
She plopped down next to Magnus, pulled her backpack to the front.
While unzipping it, she said in a sweet childlike voice, "Magnus, on the way back, Daddy and I went to the supermarket. I got a lot of snacks, including some you like. Let's eat together!"
"Oh, and let me tell you, Daddy smelled so bad today. I almost got sick from the smell. Stay away from him today, so you don't get affected."
"These cookies are for you. You likes cookies."
Magnus replied, "Cookies are what you like."
Soren blinked her big eyes, "You doesn't like cookies? But you used to like them."
Magnus lowered his eyes and said sullenly, "I don't like them anymore."
Soren didn't think much of it and dumped all the snacks from her backpack.
"Alright, if you doesn't like cookies, let's eat something else. I bought a lot of snacks. You can choose whatever he likes, even if it's something I like!"
Magnus reached out his little hand and rummaged through the pile of snacks.
The kids began seriously dividing the snacks.
Nora reminded them, "You still have to eat dinner later, so don't eat too many snacks."
They responded perfunctorily, their eyes still glued to the pile of snacks.
Nora shook her head.
She stood up and walked into the kitchen to find Isaac.
She approached Isaac, sniffed him, and then disdainfully fanned the air with her hand while taking two steps back.
"You smell so much like smoke. No wonder Soren said you stink. You really do. She wasn't exaggerating."
Isaac looked at her with a wronged expression, "You dislike me too?"
Nora looked him in the eyes, "Shouldn't I? You know you have to be around the kids, yet you smoke so much and reek of it. It's a wonder I haven't kicked you out!"
"Go take a shower and brush your teeth, or Magnus and Soren won't want to eat at the same table with you."
Isaac silently put down what he was holding and walked out of the kitchen.
Nora started organizing the groceries.
Isaac said, "You keep Magnus and Soren company. I'll be quick. I'll take over in ten minutes. Don't hurt your hands."
Nora didn't look back, "Just go take a shower."
Isaac obediently went to take a shower.
When he came back, Nora had already washed and cut the vegetables, leaving only the cooking to be done.
Although Nora wasn't great at cooking, she was good at preparing ingredients.
Isaac walked up behind Nora and hugged her, rubbing his chin on the top of her head, his deep voice filled with laughter, "Thank you, honey. You're such a good wife."
Nora pushed him away, "Stop hugging me and start cooking. Don't let kids go hungry!"
Isaac chuckled, "They have so many snacks, they won't go hungry."
Just then, Magnus and Soren ran into the kitchen with their short legs.
"Mommy, this is for you!" Soren ran up to Nora and handed her two bags of snacks.
Nora looked surprised, "I get some too? Thank you, sweetie!"
She took the snacks and kissed Soren on the cheek.
Soren happily ran out of the kitchen.
Magnus walked up to Isaac and handed him two bags of snacks, "Daddy, these are for you!"
Isaac took them with a smile, "Thank you, sweetie."
Magnus looked up at Isaac, his eyes wide and expectant, not moving.
Isaac looked at him in confusion, "Is there something else?"
