Bedding My Vampire Mate

Chapter 427 Anthony's Tantrums

?"Also, have you forgotten that today is Monday and that you are supposed to go to school...,"

"I can skip school today," He blurted without thinking.

"And whoever taught you that truancy is good?" Joanna retorted.

"But...,"

"Little man, as you can see your sister woke up very early and prepared a lot of delicious food just for your sake so be a good boy and go freshen up," Amos finally intervened.

He was a hundred per cent sure that Joanna would get mad if Anthony continued to argue with her.

There was momentary silence after Amos' interference.

"Will we go to the amusement park after I come back from school...,"

"Stop being willful Anthony Anderson or I will be forced to...,"

"Calm down Joan hmm," Amos muttered. "It's not good to quarrel so early in the morning".

None spoke a word after Amos' intervention. Amos waited for the two siblings to cool off a bit.

He decided to talk after he saw that they were both calm.

"Little man, we spent the weekend playing and doing stuff that makes us happy so why don't you go and freshen up huh?" Amos spoke meekly.

"We will surely take you to the amusement park even though it's not gonna be today. As a good boy that you are, just do as your Big Sis instructed and don't make things difficult for her," Amos' voice was very gentle as he talked to Anthony.

Anthony raised his gaze and peered at Joanna's face. He bit his lower lips and hesitated before he finally brought himself to speak.

"Big Sis, I am sorry. I promise I will freshen up now and get ready for school," Anthony conceded defeat.

When Joanna refused to utter a word Anthony extended his hands and grabbed her right hand.

"Big Sis, I am sorry for being naughty so early in the morning, please don't be angry hmm...,"

"It's good to hear that you are aware that you were being naughty," Joanna retorted, still pretending to be mad at Anthony.

"Have you forgiven me...,"

"You are gonna be late at this rate so stop wasting time and go freshen up. Breakfast will be served before you are done," Joanna urged him on.

She patted his hair and beckoned him to go and do the necessary things.

Anthony let go of her hand and did as he was instructed.

"Josephina will be at your service. Don't hesitate to seek her help if you need anything," Joanna said to the hearing of the boy who was gone from the kitchen.

She continued from where she stopped after Anthony was gone.

Just like she had assured Anthony, breakfast was ready and served when he came out of the bedroom.

Even his lunchbox was carefully packed by the lady who knew his taste better than anyone else in the world.

While Anthony had breakfast Joanna went into the bedroom, freshened up and got ready to send him to school.

Joanna came out of the room fully dressed at the exact time Anthony dropped his cutlery on the table.

"Have you cross-checked that everything you need is inside your backpack?" Joanna asked when she saw Anthony wearing his backpack.

"Yes," He replied confidently.

"If that is the case then let's go now," Joanna said. She tried to carry his lunchbox from the table but Anthony beats her to it.

"I can carry it by myself. You don't need to worry," Anthony beamed at her.

They exited the apartment after Amos left instructions to Josephina. He ordered her to leave an hour later after they were gone.

At the school gate, Joanna got out of the car and arranged Anthony's uniform. She handed the lunchbox to him after she confirmed that he was well dressed.

"Be a good boy as you have always been. If anyone dares to bully you then tell me and this Big Sister will avenge you," Joanna tapped her right shoulder with her neck cocked to the side.

"I am more than able to defend myself so don't worry Big Sis," Anthony smiled and showed Joanna his biceps.

Amos and Joanna chuckled at Anthony's little acts.

"Go in now," Joanna said and waved at him. Anthony waved back at them before he turned and walked towards the gates where other students were entering.

"Little rice ball," Joanna called when he was about six steps away from where she stood.

"If you still want then we will go to the amusement park after school is over today," Joanna said softly.

The excited Anthony turned and ran back to where Joanna stood. "Really?" He asked with so much hope in his eyes.

"Hmm...," Joanna shook her head affirmatively. Anthony's happiness knew no bounds the moment she replied.

"Yippee!" Anthony shouted. He jumped and hugged her tightly. "I love you, Big Sis. You are the best," He declared not letting go of her.

"Little man, are you aware that I am here huh?" Amos asked, pretending to be angry.

"You...,"

"Go in now or else your classmates will make fun of you if they see you clutching me so tightly," Joanna tapped his right shoulder when he wouldn't release her.

"They can mock me as much as they want I don't care...,"

"Your Big Sister also has classes this morning so stop being naughty and go in or else you will make her get scolded for truancy," Amos chided.

Without wasting a second he jumped down from Joanna's body.

"You also have classes....,"

"I won't be late so don't worry and go in, hmm," She pats the worried boy's hair and urges him on.

She had deliberately refused to tell him that she had classes because she knew he would have decided not to have breakfast at home to save time.

As little as he was, not only was he protective of her but he was super considerate.

Sometimes his actions often made her wonder what exactly she did to make him love her as much as he did.
