Tildas cheeks warmed, but she gave him a sidelong look.
Keep it up, and youll be spending the night in the study.
When they arrived back at the villa, the aroma of a home-cooked meal drifted from the kitchen where Elma was busy preparing dinner.
In the living room, Sheldon was playing with a Rubiks cube, his small hands twisting the blocks with concentration.
As soon as he saw them come in, his eyes lit up.
Dad, Mom! Youre home together! he exclaimed, running over to them.
Yeah, Tilda said, bending down to plant a kiss on his cheek. The touch of her lips left a Light pink blush on Sheldons face, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.
He turned to Lyndon, practically bouncing on his feet.
Dad, did you notice something different about Mom? Lyndon gave Tilda a quick glance, a playful glint in his eyes.
You mean because shes not wearing her glasses? Sheldon nodded eagerly.
Doesnt she appear completely transformed? Lyndon exchanged a look with Tilda, amusement dancing in his eyes.
He reached out to ruffle Sheldons hair.
Still the same beautiful face.
Sheldons voice rose with a childlike insistence.
No, Dad, shes different! Without the glasses, she looks like a whole new Mom! Dont you see? Lyndon raised an eyebrow.
So, did you not recognize your mom? Sheldon giggled, his big eyes twinkling as they blinked.
Dad, do you think Mom looks better without glasses? Lyndon countered playfully, What do you think? Sheldon, in his innocent childish tone, insisted, I asked you first! Lyndon glanced at Tilda.
As long as its your mom, she looks wonderful either way.
Tilda smiled. When had he become so smooth-tongued? Sheldon was persistent.
Dad, stop avoiding the question.
Tell me! Lyndon looked at the Little boys eager expression and couldnt help but smile.
His tone echoed his moms when she pouted.
I think your mom looks better with glasses, Lyndon finally declared.
Tilda, who had been silently awaiting his response, was pleasantly surprised.
Did he genuinely prefer her in glasses?
