Chapter 915: Chapter 889 The Hardest Career in the World (Thanks to Kateliu for the 52 additional silver chapters) Chapter 915: Chapter 889 The Hardest Career in the World (Thanks to Kateliu for the 52 additional silver chapters) Raising twins isn’t easy, but thankfully we have a big, united family. With everyone’s support, the siblings have grown up well.

“Sometimes the old man is so tired after a day’s work he doesn’t have any strength left. If I cry at night, he’d hold me and soothe me. Before I even fall asleep, he’s already dozed off sitting up. Our mum often scolds him for that, saying it’s a miracle I didn’t fall to my death, haha.”

Thinking about it, Mario Yuno also felt he must have great destiny on his side.

“Tomorrow when you go back to work, I’ll check on dad for you,” Kiara said.

Mr. Yuno may be a bit strict with the children, but he’s also a responsible and good father.

She never believed that being busy was an excuse for a man not to take care of the children, nor did she agree with the notion that men should push all parenting responsibilities onto women.

Nowadays, many women have careers; they work during the day and take care of the children at night, carrying both the burden of providing and parenting. Some men, like Arlong, always admire the ancient times when a man could have multiple wives and concubines and live like a lord, but they overlook that in ancient times men could afford to do that. If a man’s income alone could cover the family’s expenses and afford a nanny to help both partners care for the child, a woman could also live a life as elegant as poetry.

It’s not that men have to earn money and take on half the parenting duties, and it’s undeniable that most men earn more than women and bear the responsibility of providing. Most women don’t ask for much; they just want some help with the baby when they’re tired, and that’s satisfaction enough.

If a man of Mr. Yuno’s status can help his wife share some of the burden within his capabilities, what excuse do ordinary men have for not lifting a finger?

“You should bring home some dishes from the restaurant tomorrow, but get less of that Braised Pork. Watch the portions and don’t let him eat too much. The old man always wants to indulge a bit when the old lady isn’t home; it’s fine to satiate his cravings, but he can’t lose control,” even though Camden complained to his father, deep down, he was actually very concerned about him.

“Got it.”

With all the chores for the evening done, Camden approached with a flattering smile, “I’ll be leaving early tomorrow morning, my dear, since the night is long and slow, how about–”

“Wah~” The penetrating cry of a baby suddenly cut through the night, even more heart-wrenching than before.

That sound was really unsettling.

Kiara frowned.

“Whose kid is that? They’ve been crying for quite a while.”

The cry didn’t sound like a normal baby’s. It seemed sick.

The living room light came on, and Kiara’s mother came out in her pajamas, muttering under her breath.

“The baby next door is crying again. It’s always at night recently. My son is about to have his exams, this is really…”

Anyone who’s raised children understands babies crying at night, but the problem is, there’s a student in the house. Constant nighttime crying could really disrupt her son’s rest. Kiara’s mother headed toward Arlong’s room, but Kiara stopped her in her tracks.

“Mom! What are you doing?!”

“I bought your brother some earplugs, but I don’t know if he’s wearing them. I’ll go check to make sure it doesn’t disturb his rest.”

“Just drop it. Arlong is a grown lad now. You can’t keep popping in and out of his room like this; it’s not appropriate.”

Kiara did feel sorry for her brother. From what she heard, several times he woke up at night only to find their mum covering him with a blanket and fussing over him. He must be pretty traumatized.

“What if he doesn’t sleep well–”

“With his carefree, unshakeable nature, not even thunder wakes him up, let alone a child crying. I think you’re the one with the real problem.”

“What’s wrong with me!” Kiara’s mother still wasn’t convinced.

“Arlong has told me several times, you always walk into his room without knocking. That’s inappropriate. What if he gets married in the future? If you enter your son and daughter-in-law’s room without knocking, it’s going to make you unpopular, you know?”

“Ah, you little brat! Now you’ve started to dislike your mom, huh? I took care of you kids when you were little, did everything for you, especially you, Miss Fussy! Crying all night long. You should count yourself lucky I didn’t throw you out. Now that you’re grown up, you start to dislike your mom. Back in my day–”

Here we go again!

Kiara rolled her eyes. What could she do about her mum, making a fuss and never-ending once she started on “back in my day”?

“Suzanne, let’s go back to our room to rest. The children need to rest too,” Robert Johnson, also clad in pajamas, came out, promptly saving Kiara from a fate of half an hour’s rambling about “back in my day” in the middle of the night.

“Wait and see, I’ll show you tomorrow!” Kiara’s mother dropped a not-so-convincing threat before turning back to her room.

Kiara snorted at her retreating figure. Who knows who will end up sorting out whom tomorrow!

She needed to rectify Comrade Kiara’s mother’s bad habit of entering her children’s rooms without knocking. Arlong was no kid anymore; this habit had to change.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Camden grinning. Kiara glared at him, “What are you laughing at!”

“The majestic Emperor Wu Zetian in all her glory.”

His wife ran the house; everyone in the family listened to her.

“What do you know! It’s natural for kids to cry, but my mom’s behavior is really bad. What if we have a daughter-in-law, and she walks into their room without notice? Won’t the daughter-in-law be annoyed? I definitely don’t want to deal with these mother-in-law and daughter-in-law disputes in the future.”

“Alright, alright, my grand and glorious empress, you better rest now. You can manage your ‘world’ again tomorrow.”

Lying in bed, Kiara listened to the intermittent cries of the baby, staring at the ceiling as if in deep thought.

“Camden, do you have early memories?”

“Yeah, I remember clearly my first day at kindergarten. Amelia was too scared to step inside and cried at the door. I had to drag her in by the braids, and then I got a whooping from the old man when I got back.”

“I don’t remember things as early as that; some childhood stuff I can’t really recall.”

“That’s okay, if you can’t remember the past. Just living well now is what counts.”

The crying went on, but Kiara’s thoughts had traveled far away. The relationship between children and parents in the Celestial Empire was indeed very delicate.

When they’re little, you must love your children wholeheartedly, but this excessive love causes some parents to not let go even after their children become adults. Today, while treating Jade’s wife, I said holding a baby is a form of love. Telling Mom earlier that she needs to let go appropriately is also a form of love.

Being a parent is truly the toughest career in the world.

Kiara rested her head on Edward Wheeler ‘Bright Clarity’s’ arm. His hand was habitually resting on her chest, and amidst the baby’s intermittent crying, both started to feel drowsy.

Kiara was almost asleep when suddenly, a frantic knocking came. She opened her eyes groggily–Edward Wheeler ‘Bright Clarity’ was already sitting up, having heard the noise before her.

The two exchanged a glance. Who could it be, not sleeping in the middle of the night and pounding on their door?
