"Mummy!", the voice came again
Small footsteps raced down as Tyler appeared first in his dragon pajamas while Tia followed him as she rubbed her sleepy eyes with one hand while she dragged her panda stuffed bear with the other
The twins stood still the moment they saw the door open, as if they knew what had just happened. Then they looked at Jude
"Mummy isn't here?", Tyler asked
Jude looked at his son calmly as his throat suddenly tightened
"No! Mummy isn't here", he replied softly
Tia's sleepy eyes immediately brightened
"Can I go and join mummy?", she asked softly
Jude couldn't answer immediately because he didn't know what to say
Then Tia frowned as she grumbled
"Daddy, where is mummy?", she repeated as she was about to go back upstairs to Scarlett's room
Then Jude instantly went to stop her
"Well, mummy had to go somewhere", he said quietly
"Where did she go to? Did she go to work?", Tyler asked curiously
Jude nodded slowly
