CHAPTER 1561: CHAPTER 1561 GRACE’S SITUATION

Justin Battleson and Charlotte Thompson, along with Jasmine Clarkson, planned to bring the kids back to the villa in the evening.

However, dinner was still going to be eaten at Stardust Garden.

Jasmine Clarkson waited early for the children to finish school, and once Justin Battleson and Charlotte Thompson arrived with the kids, she immediately pushed the prepared cakes and snacks toward them.

"Eat a little less, we’ll be having dinner soon."

Charlotte Thompson watched Hank Thompson holding a cake and eating it, unable to resist reaching out to poke his forehead. "No wonder you seem absent-minded at the dining table; it’s because all your thoughts are reserved for the cake."

Charlotte’s words made Hank a little embarrassed as he scratched his head and chuckled.

"I can’t help it; the cake Grandma made is just too delicious."

At this moment, Jack Thompson came over and exclaimed, "Wow, brother, you ate such a big piece of cake yesterday and still managed to eat two bowls of rice. That’s amazing!"

As he spoke, Jack gave Hank a thumbs up.

Hank put his hand to his lips and coughed, "Keep it low-key."

"Brother, I think you should really control your appetite. Don’t you think you’ve been looking more prosperous lately?"

Chad Thompson covered his mouth and whispered, causing the other kids to burst out laughing.

"Nonsense, I have been controlling my weight, haven’t I? How am I fat?" As he spoke, Hank straightened his back and raised his hand to compare it over his head.

"I’m obviously just getting taller."

However, Jack mercilessly chimed in again, "Brother, I saw you tiptoeing."

"You little brat, stand still."

Hank glared at Jack and reached out as if trying to catch him, and the two kids started to play around in the living room.

Sitting on the sofa, Charlotte Thompson watched this scene with a doting smile on her face.

Then she turned her head and saw Grace Thompson also sitting on the sofa, leaning forward, looking like she was about to fall, which scared Charlotte into quickly pulling her into her arms.

Grace Thompson snapped out of it at this moment, looking a bit dazed as she looked at Charlotte and rubbed her eyes.

"Hmm... did I fall asleep again?"

Grace’s voice had a bit of laziness in it, with her eyes slightly red at the corners.

Upon hearing Grace’s words, Charlotte’s brow furrowed.

"Grace, what’s going on with you lately? Why do you love sleeping so much? Are you secretly staying up late?"

Jack and Hank also noticed what was happening over here and stopped their playful fight.

Hank, holding onto Jack’s arm, looked at Grace and spoke up.

"Brother, obviously you’re the one secretly staying up playing games." Grace sniffled and without mercy exposed Hank’s secret.

Hank froze for a moment, guiltily averting his gaze elsewhere.

Charlotte frowned after what Hank had just said.

"Grace, have you been falling asleep frequently recently?" Charlotte reached out and touched Grace’s cheek.

But before Grace could respond, Olivia Thompson nodded.

"Yes, mommy, lately, sister Grace has been dozing off a lot, and I’ve seen her fall asleep during class several times."
