Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam) novel Chapter 179

~DELILAH~

I slowly opened my eyes and I smiled when I saw Luca peacefully sleeping beside me. I guess they had managed to convince the witches to remove their spell on him.

I wrapped my arms tighter around his waist before placing a kiss on the tip of his nose.

“Good morning,” He murmured without opening his eyes, his voice deep with sleep.

“I hope you slept well?” I questioned as I caressed his face and he groaned before flipping me over so I was laying on my back before resting his head on my breast.

“I want to sleep some more. Let me lay here for a while” He replied and I smiled while dragging my fingers softly up and down his back.

We stayed in that position for a while till I heard Mia's cry from the baby monitor.

“I better go get her” I murmured and he nodded before slowly lifting up his head.

“I’ll come with you” He replied and after getting dressed, we both went to Mia's room. Immediately she saw us, she stopped crying and was laughing instead.

“You’re so mischievous, my little princess. You just like worrying mummy, don't you?” Luca uttered as he picked Mia up from her crib and placed a kiss on her cheeks in which she grabbed his face in return.

My eyes swelled when I saw the look in his eyes and I immediately regretted thinking he didn't care or love us anymore. If Clara hadn't confronted him, I might have never found out and that made me sad.

“I’ll go make breakfast while you look after her” I said to him then placed a kiss on Mia's head then his lips before walking out of the room.

While I was preparing breakfast, I suddenly felt Luca wrap his arms around my waist from behind as he placed his head on my shoulder.

“Mia went back to sleep. Why won't you let me hire a cook and a nanny so you can have less work on your hands?” He questioned as he nibbled on my ear lobe.

“Because I want the total experience of being a wife and a mother. All my life, I've always had someone taking care of me which made me become a little dependent. I want to be a good example for Mia so she can grow up and be independent” I told him and he hummed before placing a kiss on my cheek.

“I’m proud of you but you can't overexert yourself, okay? Everyone gets tired sometimes and you might need help. I'll help as much as I can of course but still. I'll get a cook and nanny for you, okay?” He uttered and I sighed knowing he wasn't going to take no for an answer.

“Okay fine but only a cook. I don't want a nanny, I want to take care of Mia myself” I told him and he nodded.

“Very well then” He murmured as he buried his nose on my neck.

“Don’t you have to go to work today?” I questioned as I turned off the stove.

“No, I want to spend as much time with you and Mia as possible” He replied and I giggled.

“You have an entire lifetime to do that, don't you?” I questioned as I took out plates from the drawers.

“Yes but anything is possible. We need to cherish the little moments we have with one another” He replied which made me frown.

I turned to him with a raised eyebrow.
