The rays of dawn were not as strong. They gently fell on their bodies. It felt very nice to have a thin layer of warmth enveloping them.
Soon, Jeremy brought breakfast over. He enjoyed this warm and leisurely breakfast with his wife and sons.
“It feels better without an eyesore around. “ Jeremy sipped his coffee and sighed emotionally.
“I wonder how long she can keep up the act. I hope she knows when to stop. I really don’t want to keep dealing with her.“ Madeline smiled. She was supporting her youngest son on her lap and feeding him milk gently.
Jackson felt unexpectedly jealous when he saw this scene.
“Mommy, I want a hug too. You haven’t hugged me in a long time.“ Jackson blinked his big eyes. He looked very aggrieved as he tried to compete for his mother’s love with his brother.
Madeline knew that when Jackson was as young as Pudding, she did not manage to take good care of him and love him as much.
Of course, she would be more than happy to hug Jackson now that he was asking for it.
“Jack, please wait for a while. I’ll hug you until you don’t want to be hugged anymore after Pudding is done eating.“
“Okay, I’m willing to wait for you. I’m willing to wait no matter how long it’ll take. “ Jackson smiled innocently, his eyes filled with the image of his mother whom he loved and admired the most.
However, this sentence sounded strange to Jeremy.
“Cough, cough.“ He coughed a little deliberately and reached out his hand to pull Jackson into his lap. “ Your mommy has no time to hug you now, so let me hug you instead.“
“Daddy’s hug doesn’t smell as good as mommy’ s.“ Jackson did not turn away from it. At this moment, he only wanted to nestle in his mother’s arms and fight with his little brother.
“You have such a sweet mouth, you little thing. I think a lot of girls will be charmed by you in the future.“
“I don’t want other girls. I only like two girls— Mommy and Lily, “ Jackson said proudly, his big eyes filled with firmness.
