I take a deep breath, steeling my mind before walking up to the bed, sitting just beside them. "Hey, there, sweethearts," I say softly, gently caressing Jas's cheeks. "I'll be making your favorite for dinner, come join Mommy in the kitchen," I try to coax them.
They both frown, refusing to talk to me.
I look between them. "Are you still mad at Mommy?" I ask them, making a sad face, just to get their attention.
Jasmine rolls her eyes, turning to face me but Javier remained silent.
I ruffle his hair gently. "Okay, I'm sorry for yelling," I let out, my tone soft, in a bid to get him to talk to me.
Finally, Javier turns, sitting up, he looks at me, his expression softens. "Why were you mean to mister stranger?" He asks, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Without missing a beat, Jas
