Atasha's POV

None of us dared to talk during the whole ride towards his condo.

When we reached his unit the silence remains the same.

When we reach the living room I sat on the couch to remove the heels that I am wearing. Tears fell from my eyes while removing my sandals and after a while, it turns into loud sobs that fill the room.

"Why are you crying?" he asked but I didn't bother to look at him. My head remains bowed and after a while, I covered my face using my palm and continued crying.

When I stepped out of the bathroom, Atasha was already awake, rubbing her eyes as if she had just woken up."Good morning," I greeted her.Atasha's gaze wasn't fixed on my face but on my body. A smirk spread across my lips as I walked towards her. She seemed frozen in place.I stopped in front of her and held her chin, making our eyes meet."Eyes up here, love," I said, noticing the embarrassment on her face. She slapped my hand away and pushed me aside before getting up.She was about to walk towards the bathroom, probably to escape from me, but I held her hand to stop her and hugged her from behind.Atasha stayed still as I hugged her tightly."Conrad, I can feel something," she said, making me laugh.Atasha turned around and looked directly into my eyes."Sorry, it's morning," I apologized.Atasha looked at me intently, then lowered her gaze, and I felt a bit embarrassed when I saw her eyes fixed on my member.

    Conrad's POVWe settled around the table, trying to create a sense of togetherness. However, my attempts to catch the kids' attention were in vain—they kept avoiding me, refusing to even make eye contact. "Your pasta tastes good, Conrad," Dad commented, bringing a smile to my face."Thank you, Dad," I replied, then turned my gaze towards the twins."After we finish eating, would you like to watch a movie?" I asked, patiently awaiting their response."We already watched a movie with Grandpa, right Asher?" Alison chimed in, looking towards her twin.Asher nodded his head in confirmation."We also have to take a nap," he added."How about we go to the park after your nap?" I suggested, but they both shook their heads simultaneously."It's drizzling," Alison explained, returning to her pasta.I let out a deep breath, feeling defeated as I couldn't come up with another idea to make it up to them.I felt Atasha's hand holding mine, so I looked at her and she smiled, causing me to smile bac
