Christopher sat beside the bed, leaning against the headboard and supporting his chin with one hand.
His eyes fixated on Kimberly.
She had long, curly eyelashes, unlike other girls who either wore fake ones or got extensions.
Her skin held a warm, sun-kissed glow.
One would never guess she had had three children.
Christopher maintained his position, engrossed in his gaze.
The sight of the woman and the three kids was serene to him.
At one point, Christopher slept in his clothes and lay on Kimberlyâs left side.
The next morning, Dexter, Sebastian, and Candice woke up after a good nightâs sleep.
The two boys looked around curiously, still getting used to the new surroundings.
Suddenly, they saw a very sweet scene.
Kimberly was nuzzling against Christopher.
Kimberly was facing the side of the bed with her arm resting on Christopher.
Dexter thoughtfully made a âshushâ gesture.
Sebastian crept out of bed, took Kimberlyâs phone, and unlocked it with his fingerprint.
Then, he adjusted the phone to take a good shot of Christopher and Kimberly.
Click!
A beautiful and warm photo was taken.
They didnât notice that Candice was climbing out of the bed.
The moment she opened her eyes, she looked for Kimberly.
III Candice turned her head and saw Kimberly in Christopherâs arms.
Candice was delighted and said, âIt seems that our classmates didnât lie. Mommy will sleep with Daddy.â
His bubbly voice reverberated throughout the room, like an echo in a valley.
Kimberly was awakened by the noise and suddenly opened her eyes.
âDarn it! Why do I feel like Iâm holding onto something hard in my hand?â Kimberly thought.
She turned her head and looked.
She was taken aback.
Her head was resting on a warm arm, while her whole arm found support on a solid chest.
That person was none other than Christopher, the man she hated.
She instantly sobered up.
âAh!â Kimberly let out a piercing scream.
She picked up a pillow and forcefully threw it at Christopher while cursing, âF uck you, Christopher!â
Only then did Christopher wake up.
He also wondered why he slept there.
He dozed off accidentally last night and was delighted to see Kimberlyâs face early in the morning.
Candice chimed in, âDexter and Sebastian, why did Mommy suddenly talk about duck? Is she going to get me a pet?â
It turned out that Candice had misheard the swear word âf uckâ as âduck.â
Hearing this, Kimberly was speechless. âWhat kind of hearing is this?â she thought.
Christopher sat up on the bed, shook out his wrinkled suit pants, and tidied his messy hairstyle with his hands..
Candiceâs words left a sweet residue in Christopherâs heart.
Christopher ignored Kimberlyâs frustration.
He said to Dexter, Sebastian, and Candice, Iâm going downstairs to check if breakfast is ready. You guys can join me with your mommy later.â
He was worried that Kimberly would feel too shy to join him if he didnât ask the kids to take her downstairs.
After saying that, he whistled out of the room in a good mood.
Kimberly swept her hand through her messy hair again.
She felt like she was going crazy, as her mind tried to grasp what had happened last night that led to the awkward scene this morning.
While her mind was in turmoil, Dexter said, âMommy, Daddy gave us a task and asked us to escort you downstairs.â
Dexter talked seriously like a little knight.
Sebastian and Candice had come to the door, holding hands and making an inviting gesture.
âPlease, my queen,â they said.
Kimberly tidied herself up quickly.
Surrounded by the three little cuties, she went downstairs slowly.
Candice said, âDaddy, we have completed the task you gave us.â
Christopher gave the kids a big thumbs-up from far away.
After washing up, Kimberly and the kids took their seats at the dining table.
The chef in Osimor Residence was excellent.
At first glance, one could tell that the chef had put a lot of effort into preparing breakfast.
Even a simple cookie was shaped like a pig, pony, and kitten.
Candice usually only ate egg white and would dispose of egg yolk.
This time, she removed the egg yolk from her hard-boiled egg again into a small plate aside.
A Chapter laa When Kimberly spotted Candiceâs action, she immediately lectured her like a nutritionist, âCandice, eating egg yolks can help you grow taller. Look, both your brothers eat egg yolks, and thatâs why they are so strong.â
However, Candice still refused to eat the egg yolk, no matter how much Kimberly coaxed and tricked her.
None of it worked.
At this time, Christopher was intrigued and decided to have a try.
He walked over to Candice, cut the egg yolk into four small pieces with his knife and fork, and scooped out a small piece with his spoon.
Holding it up to Candiceâs mouth, Christopher said, âMy little princess is the best. Come on, try this yolk petal and tell me what it tastes like.â
Hearing Christopher, Candiceâs curiosity stirred.
To Kimberlyâs surprise, she opened her mouth and ate the egg yolk without hesitation.
Candice chewed the egg yolk and found that it tasted good.
Kimberly propped her chin in one hand and looked at Candice in amazement.
She couldnât believe Candice had eaten the egg yolk without hesitation.
Kimberly commented, âDaddyâs little princess.â
Christopher was still feeding Candice when his phone suddenly rang. It was Felix.
âMr. Levine, you have an important meeting to attend at Charmant Hotel at 9:30 a.m. this morning,â
Felix said.
Christopher listened to the report over the phone and checked his watch. It was half past eight.
âYou will attend this meeting on behalf of me,â Christopher instructed nonchalantly, as if it were an ordinary event.
âHuh? Do you have other arrangements?â Felix held his forehead, feeling both baffled and flattered.
Christopher managed his schedule on his own, so Felix didnât know his plans.
Hearing Felixâs question, Christopher proudly replied, âYes, I need to spend time with TII www my wife and children.â
Christopherâs smug expression seemed ready to announce to the world that he had a wife and children.
He answered the phone at the dining table.
Kimberly heard everything on the phone.
âSpend time with your wife and children?â she muttered.
Kimberly was dumbfounded. She thought, âI was his ex-wife. Since when did I become his wife? Men are all liars. This is indeed the case.
