“Grace has very beautiful eyes, Julian,” Mia sighed in admiration even though she had actually expected that the baby's eyes would be as dark as hers.
“Wait until the color changes to hazel. You'll be more amazed," the man muttered with a small smile.
Hearing those words, the woman spontaneously squinted. “Are you praising the Little Princess or yourself?”
After laughing lightly, Julian kissed his wife's head. "I didn't say that Grace inherited my eyes."
“You implied it,” Mia argued while raising one eyebrow. But a second later, she returned focus to her daughter. After one deep breath, the woman's lips curled up again. "But I'm glad Little Princess has the same eye color as you."
"Why?" the man replied with tilted head.
"That color always succeeds to steal my heart," Mia answered, successfully inviting Julian's sighs of laughter.
Unbeknownst to them, the three peeking people smiled as well. Not wanting to disturb, Gabrie
“Why are you looking at Grace like that, Little Prince?” Gabriella asked with a smile that never left her face. His son was too adorable with two round sparkling eyes and a tiny mouth that opened without a word. After a blink, Cayden finally looked away from his cousin. Then, the baby boy's eyebrows were raised excitedly in front of the woman who was also sitting on the edge of the bed. “Ace small,” he whispered, as if afraid to wake his little cousin. Hearing that statement again, Gabriella let out a smile. “Yeah, Grace is small because she's only one week old. Because of that, you have to take good care of her. Understand?" Still with the same expression, Cayden again dropped his eyes on the baby who was wearing a white dress with flowers and sun patterns. After a moment of silence, he suddenly chuckled. Witnessing the sudden joy, Mia curled her lips and furrowed her brows at Gabriella. "Why is he laughing?" the woman leaning against the pil
Cayden giggled as he managed to escape Max's grasp. The little baby didn't care about his red face or the sweat dripping from his hair. He just wanted to keep running, letting the sand tickle the soles of his feet. As long as the wind still carried the scent of the sea to the skin, Little Prince would not tire of vibrating the air with joy. “Cacacaca!” Hearing the joyful exclamation that beat the sound of the wave, a woman who was sitting on a mat laughed too. She was happy to see her son's never-ending spirit. “Little Prince, come here! It's time to add sunscreen on your skin,” Gabriella shouted, successfully changing the direction of the baby's pace. After a while, Cayden finally stopped moving his little legs and sank into his mother's arms. Witnessing it, Max then fell to his wife's side. Stretching out, he caught the breath with his gaze fixed on the face peeking out from under Gabriella's chin. "Your Dad has tried his best to chase
"Whoa!" Cayden sighed as he stepped into his second home. That was his first experience entering a transparent walled building with a view of the open sea.Smiling broadly, the tiny baby walked quickly towards one corner of the room. After pressing his palm and forehead against the glass, he noticed the mesmerizing blue scenery that could not be found at his hometown.“I think your decision to stay at the hotel is right, Max. If we came here with jet lag symptoms, the Little Prince wouldn't be this enthusiastic,” Gabriella whispered while resting her head on her husband's shoulder."I always want the best for both of you, Gaby," the man said as he rubbed his wife's arm and raised the corners of his lips.After one faint breath, the woman looked up and showed an expression full of love. "Do you know that I'm also glad you hired someone to clean this house before we came? Thank you very much, Max. You are indeed a caring husband."Hearing
As soon as he saw his wife walking towards him, Max spontaneously raised his hand from the laptop. With wide eyes, he turned his chair to face the woman who was only wearing a thin dress."Is Cayden asleep yet?" the man whispered with two eyebrows raised in enthusiasm."Yes, but in bed. He doesn't want to sleep in his crib,” Gabriella replied, placing herself on her husband's lap. With slightly pursed lips, she studied the design displayed on the laptop screen. "Is your work still unfinished?""A little more, but I can finish it by tomorrow morning," Max said quickly. A second later, his hands began to explore. "So, can we start now?" he asked in a low, sighing voice.Knowing that her husband was impatient, Gabriella pointed her finger at the laptop. “Are you sure you don't want to finish it first? Shouldn't you present this design at the client meeting tomorrow?""I can do it even five minutes before the meeting, Gaby," the man nodded
“Did you hear what I heard?” Max asked, thinking that he was hallucinating."Was it Little Prince's voice?" Gabriella whispered wide-eyed even though her vision was dim. "But he was already fast asleep."After a blink, Max sighed again. "Should we check it out? It could be, he woke up because of your scream.""But I didn't scream that loud," Gabriella chimed in, embarrassed to admit her carelessness.“Your screams were loud, Gaby. Our Little Prince might wake up,” the man said reassuringly. He didn't want their selfishness to displace Cayden from the top of the priorities.Realizing that her husband's words were true, the woman finally fixed her dress. "Then let's just stop here," she said in a disappointed tone.As his wife started to move, Max ordered the light to turn on.“Lights on!”As soon as the room was filled with light, Gabriella gasped. A baby was standing in front of them with a t
"You really don't mind how I'm dressed, do you?" Gabriella asked, grinning. She felt awkward because all eyes were on her."Trust me, Gaby. No matter what clothes you wear, you're still perfect," Max said, making a firm nod.Once again, the woman glanced at the tall tables around her. Some people were whispering while hiding laughter."Including this?" Gabriella asked before putting one foot forward so her husband could see the white sneaker.“Yes, it matches your dress very well. They are the same color," Max nodded before stroking the baby sitting in the hip seat carrier in front of him. “Hey, Little Prince. You agree with Dad, don't you? Mom looks really pretty.""Mamamama ..." Cayden answered, blinking slowly.However, instead of unraveling, the woman's eyebrows got even more wrinkled. "They must think I'm weird for pairing this pretty dress with sneakers," she mumbled before bowing her head in the weight of regret.&l
As soon as he entered the vast and majestic ballroom, Cayden's eyes suddenly lit up. The gold and white color match looked like a delicious cake to him. After a slow blink, he sighed, "Woah ...."Hearing the cute tiny voice, Gabriella automatically raised the corners of her lips. A second later, she examined the look on her son's face. "What is it, Cayden? Are you happy to come here?”“Cacacaca!” the baby shouted, pointing his index finger at the shiny dance floor."Do you want to play there?" the young mother inquired, raising an eyebrow.Without saying a word, Cayden straightened up his body in a sudden. Knowing her son's intention, Gabriella finally lowered the baby in the tilted bow tie from her arms."Don't run too fast because Dad is not with us. Understand?"As if understanding his mother's orders, Cayden sighed, "Yes!"However, as soon as his feet hit the ground, the tiny baby sped off without brakes onto the
“Wow! What's with this kiss?" Max asked as his wife restored the distance between them."Nothing. I just ... suddenly miss you," Gabriella said while stroking the corners of her husband's lips and shrugging her shoulders briefly.A second later, she stroked the head of the baby who was fiddling with the white button under the father's neck. “Our Little Prince misses you too. He was confused earlier because there was no buddy to accompany him running.”"Is that so?" Max said before putting his face into the baby's frame of view. "Are you tired of playing without Dad?"Instead of answering, Cayden just chuckled. "Mamamama ..." he babbled while pointing his index finger at the piano. Then, excitedly, he repeated the movement of his head while listening to his favorite song."Oh, you danced when Mama played the baby whale song?" Max guessed with equally wide eyes."Baby shark, Max," Gabriella corrected for the umpteenth time.
