Martha raised her eyes and glared at Stefan in displeasure, and said fiercely, "Why are you being so fierce!"
"I..." Stefan was at a loss for words.
It was the first day back home, what was wrong with wanting to sleep with his wife in his arms?
Just when he was still thinking about what to say to make Martha agree to let Jimmy sleep by himself, Jimmy's soft voice came again.
"Mommy, when you're not at home, I'm very good and sleep alone."
"I know, Jimmy is such a good boy."
Martha stroked her son's hair and looked at him tenderly.
Jimmy, nestled in Mommy's arms, secretly glanced at Daddy, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his provocative appearance was very obvious.
Stefan took a deep breath and said sharply, "No, I don't want him to sleep with us."
"Then you go sleep in another room," Martha replied lightly, then picked up the storybook that Jimmy brought over and opened it.
"Jimmy wants to hear the story of the little lion today?"
Listening to Mommy's gentle voice, Jimmy felt warm.
He immediately lay down and pulled up the quilt, looking like a good baby who wanted to listen to a story.
Seeing that Martha treated himself and his son in different ways, Stefan suddenly became angry, but there was nothing he could do.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to solve the problem from its root cause.
He walked over to the side of the bed where Jimmy slept and sat down, smiling and reaching out to touch his child's hair.
"Jimmy, you're too old to sleep with Mommy and Daddy."
"Why?"
Jimmy hid the flash of cunning in his eyes, and turned to look at his mother in confusion.
Then he blinked innocently again, and asked pitifully, "Could it be that I'm no longer Daddy and Mommy's child when I grow up?"
Upon seeing Jimmy's pitiful look, Martha's heart softened.
She felt distressed and hugged Jimmy into her arms, coaxing softly, "Nonsense, you will always be Mommy and Daddy's baby."
"But, but if I'm Mommy's baby, why doesn't Daddy let me sleep here?"
Jimmy bit his lip, pretending to be sad, and looked like he was about to cry.
Martha quickly lowered her head and coaxed Jimmy softly, "Your daddy is talking nonsense. Jimmy, don't take it to heart."
After saying that, she turned her head and glared at the man standing not far away, and an unhappy voice sounded in the room.
"Stefan, if you want to sleep here, then sleep here; if you don't, just get out!"
"I..."
Stefan pursed his lips tightly and did not speak again.
He was sure that Jimmy said that on purpose, and then stayed here to sleep.
However, facing Martha who was protecting Jimmy at this time, he had no way to deal with Jimmy.
Jimmy gave a soft response and picked up the storybook next to him, handing it to his mother.
