It seemed that Jimmy was afraid of hurting Anna, as his actions were very gentle. His hands, with distinct knuckles, seem to possess some kind of magic.
Jimmy's lips brushed gently against hers.
"Promise me, never let go of my hand again."
A deep and slightly uneasy voice sounded in Anna's ear.
Meeting Jimmy's affectionate gaze, she blushed and nodded shyly, her lips parting near his ear, "I'll never... let go of your hand again."
Given a firm commitment, Jimmy put on a satisfied smile, kissed Anna on the cheeks and started their passionate night.
...
The two of them sent their son to the entrance of the kindergarten early in the morning.
Anna squatted in front of her son, gently stroking his handsome little face with both hands.
"You must get along well with other children, be polite, respect your teacher, don't make your teacher angry, and don't argue with other children. Do you understand?"
Anna repeatedly reminded her son.
After hearing these reminders countless times, Jay looked helpless.
"Olivia, my ears are getting calloused from all this reading. Are you sure you want to keep going? Don't worry, I'll listen to the teacher and get along with the other kids. I won't argue with them." Jay smiled and promised.
Although knowing that her son was smart, lovely, and would definitely be liked by the teacher and wouldn't get into trouble, Anna was still filled with anxiety and worry.
Receiving a hint from his son's eyes, Jimmy walked over to Anna with a smile and gently placed his hands on her shoulders.
In a low and steady voice, he said, "Jay will inevitably face communal living. You have to trust in his social skills. Trust me, he can handle it."
Anna nodded and repeated her instructions once again before reluctantly handing over her son to the teacher.
"Goodbye, dad, goodbye, Olivia."
Jay kindly waved at the two of them before following the teacher into the school.
Anna didn't take her eyes off her son until his figure disappeared in front of her.
"Unwilling to part with him?"
Anna sighed and nodded honestly.
"Silly girl, we'll come to pick him up tonight, it's only for one day. Don't worry, Jay will be able to live well at school with the teachers taking care of him. Okay?" Jimmy patiently comforted Anna.
Anna nodded her head and slowly calmed down under his comfort.
Jimmy considerately helped her into the car, but after about ten minutes, Anna felt that something was off. "This isn't the way back to the Miller Residence? Where are you taking me? Didn't we have an important meeting today?"
"I've talked to your parents about it. Starting from today, you and Jay will be living in my villa, and I don't want us to be separated for even a second, so... you'll accompany me to work and I'll keep watch over you 24/7," Jimmy said affectionately.
Faced with his tender gaze filled with love, Anna felt warm inside and shyly nodded her head, saying, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Anna thought that as long as she got to work she would have 'freedom', but she completely overlooked Jimmy's possessiveness towards her; those eyes full of tenderness locked onto her every moment while his breath surrounded her.
