Martha nodded gently and smiled, "Yes, Eden also needs the company of Melissa."
Both Eden and Melissa blushed. They looked at each other and pursed their lips without saying a word.
Only Jimmy turned his head to look at the two with a puzzled expression, and finally his eyes fell on his mommy.
"But if I go there, then Eden and I can listen to Melissa's stories together."
Martha smiled and blinked, and after giving Melissa a sly look, she said something meaningful, "However, Jimmy can't listen to the story Melissa told Eden."
"Martha." Melissa's hand holding the spoon tightened, and she couldn't help calling out to Martha, for fear that the latter would say something inappropriate.
Then the little one spoke up with a look of confusion on his face. "Why not?"
Martha raised an eyebrow mischievously. Her voice was tinged with a hint of wickedness as she replied, "Because Jimmy is still young. Only adults can hear that story."
Melissa glared at her best friend when she heard that, and continued to eat with her head buried.
Eden, who was sitting next to her, twitched his mouth unconsciously, and was very satisfied with Martha's words.
After all, only when Jimmy didn't disturb him and Melissa could he do whatever he wanted at night.
Stefan, who was sitting opposite him, frowned slightly, his eyes were full of strange colors.
He thought, "Martha can really surprise me and bring me different new ideas."
Jimmy frowned in displeasure, and looked at his mommy unwillingly, "Mommy, Jimmy has grown up and can listen to stories for adults."
Martha was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After she laughed, she reached out and rubbed Jimmy's head, and said softly, "Eden is in his thirties, but Jimmy is only five years old."
Hearing that, Jimmy lowered his head in frustration.
He knew that his mommy meant that he should not sleep with Eden and Melissa.
But if he didn't sleep together with them, how could he have a sister?
Many children in the kindergarten had younger sisters. He was very envious and also wanted a younger sister.
Stefan noticed Jimmy's sadness and raised a smile.
It seemed that Jimmy really wanted a sister.
After the meal, he hugged Jimmy into his arms, purposely fell behind a few steps, and whispered in his ear.
"You can't have a younger sister all at once. It has to be done step by step."
Jimmy raised his eyes and looked at his daddy with a puzzled expression on his face.
A strange look flickered across Stefan's face before he cooed softly, "I'll try my best to make you mommy have a younger sister in her belly before you start school, okay?"
Jimmy's eyes lit up, and he grabbed his daddy's collar in surprise.
"Daddy, you didn't lie to me?"
"Of course not," Stefan raised his eyebrows and responded lightly.
Jimmy smiled in satisfaction when he heard that, and then held out his little finger solemnly to ensure that his father would not lie to him.
"Daddy, let's pinky promise."
"Okay," Stefan replied in a deep voice as he hooked his own pinky finger around the child's tiny one.
Jimmy's mood improved a lot after getting his father's promise, and he bounced around and took his mommy to enjoy the various scenery of Lover Island.
Not long after, a group of people stopped in front of the rental bicycle.
After confirming the price with the vendors, they rented a three-person bicycle and a two-person bicycle respectively.
Jimmy who was riding a bicycle for the first time was obviously very happy, bumping here and there, and finally smiled and said, "Mommy, can you buy me a bicycle when we go back?"
"Sure," Martha replied with a smile.
After the group rode for a certain distance, only Stefan and Eden were left riding.
Eden looked sideways at Stefan beside him, raised his eyebrows slightly, "I never thought I'd see you riding a bicycle in my lifetime."
"I never thought I'd see you riding either." Stefan retorted coolly
Eden shook his head and laughed when he heard that.
On the back seat, Melissa held the camera and looked at Martha happily.
"Martha! Smile!" Melissa called out happily as she snapped several shots of mother-and-son duo together.
Melissa looked at the photos in the camera with satisfaction, and couldn't help feeling amazed, "You're sooo good-looking, and the photos look so great."
"Melissa, you are good-looking too," Jimmy looked at the smiling woman in front of him, and said softly.
Melissa smiled when she heard that, and replied happily, "Jimmy, you really have a good taste."
After a while, when Jimmy got tired of looking at the coastal scenery of Lover Island, he couldn't help reaching out and gently tugging at the hem of Stefan's clothes who was riding in front of him.
"Daddy, can we stop riding?"
"What does Jimmy want to do?"
Stefan glanced back and asked softly.
There was excitement in Jimmy's eyes, and he said with anticipation, "I want to go to the wildlife park."
"OK," after Stefan responded gently, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Eden who was riding beside him, "What do you think of it, Eden?"
"I'm fine with it." Eden replied lightly with no hint of fatigue despite having ridden for so long already.
Stefan pursed his lips, stopped the car on the side of the road, and made a call.
"Drive the car right under the lighthouse."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, and let Martha and her son get off from behind him on their bike seats before walking over towards where there was an unobstructed view of the sea nearby.
