Her Return, His Regret novel Chapter 112

“Mommy, why don’t we all sleep over at Daddy’s place?” Ella asked while they were on their way back.

She looked at her brother for support and Ethan looked at Lora before saying, “Let’s all sleep at Daddy’s house tonight, Mommy. We will go back tomorrow.”

Ryan and Lora had agreed that the children would sleep over that night. Having never stayed with kids before, Ryan hired four nannies and four personal nurses to help him take care of the children in case of anything.

However, hearing the children’s suggestion, he couldn’t be more thrilled. It would be better if he learnt how to take care of the twins from Lora.

He also wanted her to sleep over at their mansion which had been unoccupied for years. Even though they didn't have wonderful memories in it, it was still their first property as a married couple.

Looking at Lora, he uttered, “I think you should listen to the kids and sleepover at the mansion. It’s home anyway... I know we said we will wait but I think it’s ok since we will be with the kids.”

Lora bit her lower lip, knowing her mother wouldn’t like this. She still didn’t seem to want to warm up to Ryan.

Regardless, Lora couldn’t say no to her kids. She smiled and nodded, “Ok. I’ll sleep over too.”

“Yes!” Ella and Ethan exclaimed.

They were going to spend the night together as a family! The twins couldn't wait for the experience.

Soon, they arrived at the mansion and when they entered, Lora gasped.

“You were right. It’s still the same as it used to be,” she remarked, looking around.

The walls had the same paintings that Lora had picked out back then. There was also a portrait from their secret civil wedding.

Lora arched an eyebrow knowing it was never there six years ago.

The tips of Ryan's ears turned pink as he said, "I thought the living room could use a picture of us."

Lora smiled. Her eyes fell on the vase on the coffee table. She had gotten that vase at a cheap store and people laughed at her for loving cheap things. However, she loved it because it was simple and didn't stand out too much.

"You kept this too?" She remarked, her eyes softening.

“I didn’t want to erase the only thing that reminded me of you,” Ryan responded. "So I left this place untouched."

“Is this where we will stay forever and ever?” Ella asked and Ryan nodded.

“Yes, it is.”

“I love it! It’s so nice!” Ella squeaked before running around.

“Careful, princess,” Ryan said before turning to look at Lora.

“Should I draw you a bath?” He offered.

Lora's cheeks turned pink.

She recalled something and said, “Oh no... I don’t have clothes here.”

“Who said you don’t? You have plenty of clothes here because this is your home,” Ryan replied. “You go up and freshen up as I watch the kids.”

Lora nodded and went upstairs. She went to the master bedroom and when she opened the walk-in closet, her jaw dropped to the floor.

The wardrobe was full of new clothes that were her size. Ryan had even purchased lingerie for her.

When she saw the fluffy handcuffs in the drawer, Lora giggled. ‘I never knew Ryan had this side to him.’ She mused.

After choosing some simple pajamas, she went into the bathroom and soaked herself in a hot tub.

By the time Lora was done, she found Ryan and the twins already in bed.

She arched an eyebrow seeing them all looking fresh, dressed in matching pajamas. It seemed Ryan had prepared the kids for bed already.

“What’s going on here?” She asked.

“We are sleeping together as a family,” Ella remarked. “We’ve left space for you, Mommy. Come and sleep.”
