Chapter 408: Setting towards home
Jinhai immediately hugged her hard. âOf course, I wonât do that. As long as we are together, the twins will stay with us. I wonât come in between you and them.â
Jinhai felt as if he was over the moon. He was so happy. Finally, he wouldnât have to live separately anymore. Those dark and aimless days were over for him.
Nana said, âI will come with you, but that doesnât mean I donât have my condition. My only condition is that I and the twins and you will stay in separate rooms. We will live under the same roof, but that doesnât mean that we have to share the same room.â
Jinhai stiffened, and he bit his lip.
âI donât think you are in any position to put any condition to me. I have the custody, not you.â
Nanaâs eyelids trembled. He was right. She couldnât say that if he disagreed, then she wonât come. He had the upper hand.
Nana said nothing.
Jinhai leaned in towards her.
âD-donât!â Nana exclaimed.
But Jinhai didnât listen. He cupped her face and gently licked the corner of her eye. The tear that was about to escape her eye landed in his tongue.
Nana stiffened with the proximity. She shivered as his tongue licked her. She turned her face away.
He sighed and whispered. âAlright. We will sleep in separate rooms but! You will not refuse to talk to me. You will not ignore me. You will not push me away from you. Other than living in separate rooms, I am not going to be away from you once you step outside your room.â
Nana was stunned.
Seriously?
She wanted different rooms because she wanted to keep her distance from him, but he was only allowing that until the time she would be in her room. That indirectly meant only during the night.
How could she stay the entire day cooped up in her room if she wanted her distance? The twins would need a stroll too during the day for a breath of fresh air.
Nana pursed her lips. Jinhai narrowed his eyes and bit her ear. She jolted in shock and gasped.
âLiu Jinhai! What are you doing?â she glared at him furiously.
âHeh!â He snickered. âDonât think that I donât know what you are trying to do.â
She gritted her teeth.
âYou want us to live like strangers? You want to treat me as a stranger? In your dreams! Staying in separate rooms is the only thing I can compromise on. Nothing else.â
Nana couldnât retort.
I swear I will definitely find a way to get the custody back, she promised herself.
Jinhai let her go, and she immediately stepped back to make distance.
Jinhai smiled. âSince everything is sorted out, I will take my leave. You should rest as well. It is not good for your health to stay awake so late in the night.â
Nana fumed from within.
Who came in here, waking me up at two am!? I was sleeping already!
But she gulped her anger.
âYour family would be ready to take you back tomorrow with them, butâ¦you know what to say to them, right?â
Nanaâs jaw tightened.
He tilted his head. âGoodnight, my little wife. Oh, donât forget to feed the twins. They seem grumpy in hunger.â
âBaaaaaâ¦â
âAboooooâ¦â
The twins growled in agreement.
âYou!â
Jinhai smiled and finally left. In frustration, Nana grabbed her pillow and threw it towards the door.
Her glance shifted to the file of the custody papers. Then she looked back at the twins and patted their heads.
âBaaabaaaâ¦â They smiled.
âYour father is horrible, horrible, horrible!â
The twins didnât respond. Instead, they cried, waiting for their milk.
Nanaâs hearty softened, and she decided not to think about him anymore! For now, she had to feed the twins.
*Flashback ends*
At present, everyone was stupefied to know her decision.
Liang Xiao Dan gently asked, âNana, why do you want to go back? Didnât you say yesterdayâ¦â
Nana faintly smiled. âI know, Mom. B-but then I thought about it again. I am still mad at Jinhai, but I donât want the twins to suffer. They miss him too when he is not there with them, and then they cry a lot. I cannot see them like that. They want him just as much they want me. So, I decided itâs best to go back. Sorry, I forgot to inform you yesterday.â
âButâ¦â she seemed doubtful of her reason. Yesterday, Nana seemed pretty firm, but now she wasnât.
Liang Zou narrowed his eyes. He remembered how Jinhai was so sure to take Nana back with him.
Does he have anything to do with it?
Shin said, âNana, you donât have to force yourself. As for Jian and Nian, we can let Jinhai meet them sometimes so that they donât miss him.â
Liang Zou said, âShin is right.â
Nana stiffened. âN-no, Big brother, Dad. Itâs okay. I have really thought about it. I will go back.â
Grandma Liu was excited to have her and the twins back. She cleared her throat. âIf Nana wants to come back, then itâs fine. She is not going to live alone with Jinhai. We are all there with her. Naturally, we will take care of her.â
Liu Chunhua agreed and nodded. âMom is right. Of course, we will not let her suffer any grievances.â
After much discussion, the Liang family could do nothing much as Nana had already made her decision. They could only agree.
â
As Serenaâs discharge formalities were also about to get over, she was getting worried.
What will happen now? Zixinâ¦will Jianyu let me meet him? Is he going to take him away?
Huo Xiao Fan and Liwei were helping her pack her things.
âZhilan. I have packed up everything.â
Serena nodded.
Huo Xiao Fan frowned. âIs anything wrong?â
âNo, I-â
The door opened, and Jianyu entered the ward. âThe formalities are done. We are ready to leave. Mom, take Zixin and wait in the car.â
Chen Liling nodded, and she carried Zixin in her arms.
Serena panicked a bit. âT-thatâ¦â
Jianyu raised her brow. âHm? Are you done packing?â
Huo Xiao Fan said, âYes, we are done.â
âOkay, then. We will leave.â
âThat!â Serena spoke again, nervously.
âWhat is it?â Jianyu asked.
âW-where are we going? I-I mean meâ¦â she fiddled with her fingers.
Jianyu looked at her in confusion. âWhat do you mean, where? Where else will we go? We are going to Chen villa.â
