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.
After a while of talking, Xaire must've not have not been over with the topic, so she asked, "So how do babies are made, then?" "Yes! How are babies made, papa?" asked Rad.The two men were stunned. Santiago choked on his drink while Xavier cleared his throat.They didn't know how to answer those questions. Clearly, they didn't want to anger their wives if they told the children the truth."It is when you love someone dearly, you'll create babies, son," Clarise calmly said."Really, mama? You and papa love each other, that's why I was born?"Margarette interfered. "You're right. Babies are made through love, so when you meet your partner, your soulmate, in the future, that's when you have babies."The two kids were in awe while the two men sighed in relief.Rad tool Xaire's hand and pull it up to his lips. "I will love Xai a lot then so we can have a lot of babies when we grow up."Suddenly, they all went quiet, except for Xaire who just giggled and agreed with Rad. The two naive chil
"It wasn't nonsense, tsvetok. That kid told—""He was just a child for God's sake, Xavier!""Still, I don't want to hear it." He pouted. "It just sounds so off and obnoxious to me to hear such stuff about my daughter. Just thinking of having your own daughter have babies on their own, it makes my stomach sick! I cannot even imagine it!" He wailed like a child. He was frowning and clenching his jaws as if he was holding back. He was too upset.And it made Margarette softened. As a father, he must've struggled a lot right now, especially because he got a daughter whom he loved dearly, plus knowing Xavier, he thinks differently like others, so she can't actually blame him for overreacting. After all, he's a father. He's her father."Xavier," she said softly. He raised his gaze up and their eyes locked. He still looked so upset. "Rad is just a child, okay? Don't take it seriously. Rad is a good child."He gritted his teeth. "I know… it's just…" She sighed and held his hand. "They're just
The two families bid their goodbye to each other after a couple of hours bonding. Xaire was fast asleep in his father's arm while Rad was looking at her with sadness in his eyes."Don't worry, son, you can still see baby Xai soon." Clarise patted her son's back gently. Rad snuggled through his father's neck as he cried in silence."R-Really, mama?""There's no way—" Xavier was about to kill the child's hope when Margarette secretly pinched him on the waist."Of course, Rad. Your uncle Xav and I will be visiting here often so you can play with Xaire."Rad sniffed and nodded his head. "Okay…"Margarette smiled."I will miss you, Flower," Clarise said as she went and hugged the younger woman. Margarette returned the gesture and embraced her only best friend."I will miss you, too, Clarise. I hope you can visit our house someday.""We will. Good bye, Flower."And with that being said, they parted their ways and Xavier and Margarette went back to their home happy and contented at how their
Margarette thought Xavier was just spewing bullshits, but he was damn serious when he said he will buy a mini sport's car for his daughter a day after he said he will. She didn't know where he got it or where did he even found a edition of a car like that, but she shouldn't be worrying about that at all because he was filthy rich and can afford everything. He sure has a lot of connection.After they went to the mall, Margarette was shocked to find out that there was a pink mini car in the huge garden being displayed and all shiny."Hope you like it, princess." Xavier put down his daughter on the floor and made her run towards her brand new car."Wow! It's so beautiful! Thank you so much, daddy!" Xavier was literally beaming with joy as she jumped inside her own car."What the," Margarette uttered.He wrapped his arm on her waist and planted a kiss on her temple. "The color suits our princess, right?"She gulped in disbelief. "You bought that… for her?""Yes, I did.""Is that a real car
It was late at night when they suddenly heard a loud commotion outside the house. There was an exchange of gunshots that could be heard even inside the house. Xavier was alerted."W-What's going on?" Margarette asked nervously. They were sleeping in the same bed together with their daughter when the two of them heard the loud banging of gunshots. Her heart started beating so fast in her chest, syncing into the beat of each gunshots."Stay here, baby," he whispered as he stood up. He opened the secret drawer under the floor and took two guns. One is for him and one is for his wife, just in case."This room has a double security lock on it, so you're safe as long as you stay here. Please, don't leave this room, okay?""H-How about you? Where are you going?""I'm gonna check what was happening in the house." He leaned down and kissed her forehead, then he kissed their daughter's. "I'll be back.""Please, be safe.""I will, baby. I love you."Tears were already forming in the corner of her
