"Please, eat a lot," he said as he served his girls food on their plates. Margarette just watched as he did his thing nonchalantly as if it was the most normal thing in the world for him."You don't have to do this," she said to him with a shy smile, her cheeks burning hot as she watched him serve her like royalty.To be honest, it was still beyond her imagination that a cold, mafia leader like himself would stoop this low to serve a woman like her. She's nobody unlike some other girls after all. She's a damsel in distress. She couldn't do anything for him. She couldn't do anything for his business, for his life, and yet, he chose her. He always chose her."I want to," he answered with a wink which made their daughter giggled because she saw it."Daddy, do you love mommy?" Xaire asked with such innocence.Margarette gasped in horror as her eyes widened. "Xaire!"Xavier chuckled. "Of course, princess. Daddy loves mommy a lot. More than anything in this world." He answered with even bat
Chapter 86She averted his gaze and pretended not to hear him at all. She turned around. "Oh, my. I think I should take a bath first, right?" she blabbered around, as if she was busy doing something. "Oh, I think I should just clean my face."She picked something from the bed; a towel, and then went to walk towards the toilet. But before she could even take a few steps from him, he held her arm to stop her."Margarette," he said through his low voice. She stopped. She closed her eyes tight and mentally cursed herself.She spun over her heels and faced him with a nonchalant look."Look, I'm sorry, okay?" she started. "That just slipped through my mouth mindlessly and I didn't even realise I said it until you pointed it out yourself. Don't think about it. It was nothing. I didn't mean—"He put his finger on her lips, stopping her. "Hush." He chuckled. "I just asked one question, you don't need to write a whole essay about it."She pursed her lips into a tight line as her cheeks burned. E
Xaire giggled again after watching her father's reaction. He turned to his daughter and couldn't help but chuckle at her silliness. She's too young but she definitely already understands what's going on around her."Are you taking pictures of mommy and daddy?" he asked.Xaire nodded her head with exaggeration as she smiled cheekily. "Yep!"He smiled. "May I see?" The little girl immediately gave him his phone and showed him the photo that she took. Margarette was sleeping and clinging to him comfortably which he knew would make her mad once she saw it. But he's not gonna let her see it. Not today, though."Good job, princess," he said with pride. Even though she's young, she knew the assignment well. "Come here."Xaire went and positioned herself beside her father as they took a picture together with Margarette. They did a lot of posing and were very happy to be able to take a picture with the sleeping Margarette.Suddenly, Margarette groaned and moved, shocking the two guilty culpri
She already heard him said before that his siblings left years ago, but she must've forgotten about it. A lot of things had happened and remembering those details is too much for her, but now that they tackled about it, she suddenly remembered. So they left, huh?The reason was very heartbreaking to her. She was the reason why the siblings broke apart. She's guilty about it. She blamed herself for breaking their relationship. But then, Xavier reassured her that everything is all good and she should not worry too much about it.After their breakfast, Xavier went to do something in his office; probably to do his duty. Margarette was left to fend over their daughter while Xavier was busy with his job. Margarette ended up trying out the new recipes she have learned on the internet and baked together with her child, Xaire, which only resulted with them nearly burning the kitchen. Good thing that the kitchen staffs are very friendly and reliable when it comes to things like that. During the
"Coming right up, ma'am," he said with a crooked smile.He took some ointment on the drawer. Margarette went to the long couch as she removed her top, minus the tube though. A full massage would be so great.Xavier cleared his throat, totally turned on just by the sight of her mere back. "Where should I start?" he asked awkwardly."Duh, on my foot," she said with sarcasm. "Yeah, right, on your back," he said. Again, he cleared his throat. His erection was becoming more and more visible and fortunately, she wasn't facing him. Otherwise, he would lose it.He put some massage ointment on his hand before he applied it to her soft, white skin. He suddenly remembered those nights where she would sometimes complain about something on her body. Unbeknownst to them, she was already pregnant during that time."Ah..." she moaned. "That one, please..." she uttered softly which made his eyes darker in lust. But he shook his head. Patience.He has endured years without seeing his own family, with
Eventually, the kid got tired of crying and ended up sleeping. Xavier's heart was heavy for not being able to do anything to make his princess happy as it was against Margarette's will. If he could just, he would spoil his daughter with everything that she wants, but unfortunately, he cannot do that under his wife's watch.He glanced at his daughter through the mirror and saw she was sleeping. Tears were still on her cute face and she looked so pitiful it broke his heart."If you keep spoiling her, she'll grow up brat," Margarette said, crossing her arms.He understood what she was coming from, but as a father who loved his daughter more than anything else, it pained her to see his child cry."I understand," he said, but in his mind, he was already planning to treat his daughter tons of chocolate later when Margarette was no longer watching.As they reached the restaurant where they would be having a lunch, Xavier immediately exited the car and opened the car's door on Margarette's sid
"Woah…" she muttered in utter disbelief and shock. Clarise was already married and has 2 children. Time flies really fast."Yes, by the way, this is my husband—" Clarise looked behind her and saw none. The woman rolled her eyes in annoyance. "He's probably in the kitchen again, but he'll be here in a minute. Anyway, please have a seat. It must be tiring.""Sure, sure." Margarette sat down and the woman next followed in extra carefulness."How's pregnancy, Clarise?" Xavier asked, taking the latter's attention. Only then Clarise noticed that they were not alone in the room.She gasped and was about to apologise but stopped when she saw the child sleeping in his arms."W-What…" she stammered as her eyes bulged."Her name is Xaire, she's already four," Margarette said with a smile. "She's my daughter."Suddenly, a tear rolled down on Clarise's cheeks, and it didn't stop after one drop at all, it flowed down endlessly. Her face was contoured with pure happiness."S-She's your daughter…" Cla
While the couple was busy with calming their child, Clarise ordered some drinks for them, the one that is both good for children and pregnant women."Daddy's here, hmm? I will never leave you again, princess." Xavier said. The child was already sitting on the couch and he was kneeling to level on her height. He was holding her small, pretty face and was wiping the tears in her eyes.Xaire hiccuped. "I-I thought you already left me…"Xavier's gaze softened as he shook his head, a smile was on his lips. "That will never happen, princess. Daddy's already here and will always be by your side, hmm? Remember that."Xaire nodded her head as her lips turned downwards when she pouted. Her nose was red from all the crying. Xavier smiled at how attentive his daughter is. She's still a child but he can already guess she would end up as kind as her mother but as smart as the Ivanov family. What a combination."Are you calmed down now, princess?" he asked."Y-Yes, daddy," Xaire said as she hiccuped.
