An hour later, Jessamine took Layla downstairs. Thaddeus and Lucas were waiting eagerly downstairs, straining their eyes wide with anticipation.Thaddeus warmed up four cups of milk, one for each family member. He watched Lucas and Layla finish their milk and clean their cups. When they returned, he tentatively asked, "Is it time to go to bed?"The two children didn't understand what Thaddeus was thinking and assumed he wanted them to go to bed early. They obediently crawled into the tent and lay down in their spots.After entering, Layla emphasized with concern again, "Mommy, I want both you and Daddy to come. I want us to be together."Jessamine reluctantly went inside, sticking close to Layla. The living room lights were switched off, and a soft moonlight glow streamed in through the large windows.Lucas was tired from playing for a whole day, so he closed his eyes and soon began to breathe evenly, falling into a slumber.In contrast, Layla seemed a bit excited. She usually st

At that moment, Lucas turned over and mumbled indistinctly in his sleep. The two of them stayed still in their positions, afraid that they would wake him up. Jessamine could feel her heartbeat syncing with Thaddeus', quickly forming the same rhythm.After staying like this for a few minutes, Lucas finally stopped tossing around and fell asleep. Jessamine propped one hand against Thaddeus' chest for support. "Thaddeus, you can't!"Thaddeus' gaze was intense, and after a long pause, he asked in a low voice, "Jessie, can I get a kiss?"Before she could answer, Thaddeus leaned in and kissed her. It was a kiss that started gently and then deepened. Jessamine initially wanted to push him away but couldn't, fearing that making too much noise would wake the two children. In the end, she accepted her reality and stopped resisting.Thaddeus didn't intend to rush things, but when Layla asked for a hug and his arm fell on her, he couldn't restrain himself. A desire that had been suppressed for

As soon as Thaddeus finished speaking, Jessamine refused him almost simultaneously, "Absolutely not!"Thaddeus wasn't discouraged by the rejection. Her reaction was exactly what he had expected. He just stood there motionless, quietly watching her. "Jessie, you said you would seriously think about getting back together with me. Hasn't it been a few days already?"He lifted one hand and tucked the stray hair on Jessamine's forehead behind her ear, gently brushing her brow and eye with his thumb. "I want to sleep next to you and the kids every night, even if we do nothing at all."Jessamine's mouth twitched. What kind of nonsense was he saying? Even if he did nothing? If she hadn't reacted strongly just now, who knows what he would have done next? And now he had the nerve to say something like that? Was he not embarrassed by his own words?Thaddeus lowered his head and gave her another quick kiss on the lips. While resting his forehead against hers, he spoke tenderly, "How about we

Thaddeus raised his eyebrows, wondering what was the point of her warning."It's okay. I'm a considerate person. It's enough as long as one person in the family is considerate. I'll make snacks for the three of you, I'll call you eight times a day to remind you to come home, and I'll buy the latest season's fashion for you. Do you have any other requests? Speak up now."After finishing what he said, he added, "Even if I'm just a trial boyfriend right now, you can treat me like a husband and enjoy the benefits early. Not only that, but I'd even be willing to give myself to you if needed."Jessamine gave him a disapproving look. "Is that really what you wanted to say? Do you not have anything serious on your mind?"Thaddeus shouted like he was wrongfully accused, "I just said a whole lot, but you only listened to the last sentence, right? Which one of us isn't thinking seriously?"Jessamine was rendered speechless and unable to respond.Thaddeus lowered his head and planted gentle

The experiences she went through in the past made it difficult for Jessamine to fully trust someone again, and rebuilding trust wasn't an easy task. However, Thaddeus' recent thoughtful gestures in their everyday life truly moved her. She felt scared but couldn't help wanting to get closer. If it weren't for that slight flutter in her heart, she wouldn't have let him have his way in the tent just now.Jessamine knew that, to her, Thaddeus was like a beautiful poppy flower—dangerous yet enticing.She had never fully moved on from their past relationship. Even when she tried to leave everything behind and start anew, seemingly carefree, she would wake up in the middle of the night. She would remember that they were no longer together and feel a pain so sharp that it left her struggling to breathe. Having loved someone for so long and then wanting to completely separate from them was incredibly difficult. It was almost like peeling off a layer of skin.Thaddeus answered with great

She carefully thought about whether they had said anything that wasn't child-appropriate while they were in the tent yesterday. Her mind felt foggy, and she suddenly couldn't remember anything.She had once come across a topic online about unexpected shocking things people have seen. The replies were all over the place, but the most upvoted ones were mostly about accidentally seeing their parents being intimate when they were kids. They didn’t understand it at the time but still remembered it, and as adults, they felt embarrassed whenever they thought about it.Jessamine never expected that she would become the kind of parent the people were discussing in online posts.In contrast to her reaction, Thaddeus remained calm and composed. "Lucas, come here."Lucas didn't obediently go over. instead, he looked as if he had some leverage over his father.Thaddeus took a step forward, effortlessly picked Lucas up with one hand, and carried him into the study.The study door was left op

Lucas peeked his head out the door and saw Jessamine carrying a basin of water to water the flowers outside. Just as Thaddeus had said, she didn't seem upset at all. In fact, she looked more cheerful than usual."Alright, I won't argue with you this time," Lucas relented.Thaddeus sighed in relief. "This is a secret between Mommy and Daddy. Now that you know it, you have to keep it to yourself and not tell anyone else. If others find out, Mommy will be unhappy."Lucas nodded, somewhat understanding the situation. He certainly didn't want to make Jessamine unhappy, so for now, an agreement was made.Thaddeus held Lucas' chubby little hand and gently squeezed it. "Daddy has something to ask you and your sister. Can you call her over now?""Sure."Lucas slid off Thaddeus' lap and went to the living room to find Layla. Soon, the two children squeezed into the study together, with Layla looking very curious."Daddy, why are you looking for us?" she asked.Thaddeus held his legs apar

"Then how about we go visit Great-grandpa today?" Lucas asked.Thaddeus felt relieved about Lucas' grasp on the situation and then turned to ask Layla, "Lucas has agreed. Do you have any different opinions, Layla?"Layla grinned. "I'd like to play with Great-grandpa too. Why don't we set off now?"Thaddeus pulled the two children closer and rubbed his chin on the tops of their heads. "We still need to ask Mommy if she's willing to go.""Okay. Mommy!" Layla shouted.Jessamine came back from watering the flowers. As soon as she stepped through the door, she heard Layla calling out. She put the can back in the bathroom and went to the study to look for Thaddeus and the children."Layla, are you calling for me?" Jessamine asked.Thaddeus stood up from the chair, his eyes filled with a pleading look. "Jessie, I just discussed with the two kids about visiting their great-grandpa today."He stood there looking at her intently, his demeanor clearly pleading to her, waiting for her answ
