The second day, Jacob was the first one who woke up. He rubbed his eyes and didn't know where he was for a moment. He pouted and said, "Mommy, Mommy—"
When Yvonne was still asleep, she heard her son's voice. She quickly got up and removed the big hand on her waist, getting out of bed and putting on her shoes. Noel frowned and went back to sleep when she went out.
Jacob had already got out of bed. When he saw his mommy running over in a hurry, he held his mommy's legs. Daddy was a bad person. He actually let him sleep by himself. He couldn't see his mommy when he got up.
Yvonne bent down and picked him up. She took him to the bathroom to wash up. There was everything they needed in the bathroom. She could tell that people in the army were really considerate towards them. Not only because she was brought here by Noel, but also because the title "sister-in-law". Being a soldier's spouse meant that she would become part of the army.
"Mommy, will we stay here?" Being taken care of by his mother, Jacob washed his face, brushed his teeth, and asked expectantly.
Yvonne looked down at her son and wiped his face with a towel. "Why should we stay? We have our own home, don't we?"
"But only the place with parents can be called home." Jake pursed his lips and was unhappy. Grandpa Stan said that other children were always with their parents, but why couldn't they stay with his father?
Where there were parents, there was home. Yvonne was touched by this, though she never wanted to bring this up. When she was a child, her mother had left. Someone said that her mother was dead, others said that her mother had left with another man. In fact, she believed the latter, because her father used to love her most, but things had changed. Her mother had left, and her father brought another woman and her daughter home. Since then, her father began to look at her as if he was looking at garbage. Without her mother, that place was no longer home. She looked down at her son with red eyes and said, "Jacob—"
"Yes, the place with us is Jacob's home." Before Yvonne could finish her words, Noel who came in the room interrupted her. He picked up the little boy, and Jacob hurriedly held his father, letting him wash his face.
Looking at the father and son, Yvonne was at a loss. She didn't know how to face him. Lowering her head, she looked like a child who had done something wrong. "You, you can come and visit him when you have time." She wouldn't stop him if he wanted to.
"I don't have time," Noel said directly. He was extremely busy all day long. Even if Yvonne and Jacob came to live here, he couldn't keep them company every day.
Yvonne was stopped by his words. Thinking of his identity, she realized that he had made so many exceptions for her and her son recently. If it weren't for his son, he would have been busy with his own business.
She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. "Then don't visit." She said in a low voice with a little annoyance.
However, Noel was the best warrior in the battlefield. His hearing was so remarkable that everyone couldn't imagine. Knowing what she meant, Noel gave a cold snort, which was enough to make Yvonne behave herself. She then took a towel to wipe Jacob's face.
Jacob giggled. He liked the way his parents got along with each other. He wrapped his small hand around his father's neck, rolled his big eyes, and pointed at the cream on the table. "Mommy, I want the fragrance." As he spoke, he didn't want to get off his father.
Yvonne didn't think too much. She reached out and took the cream that Stanley's wife gave them, which was specially prepared for the children. Yvonne had to say that the kindness and hospitality of the people here made her moved. In her life, except for her son, Noel, and Emma, no one was so nice to her, even her father was not so good to her.
Noel was carrying Jacob, so she had to tiptoe so that she could apply it on Jacob's face. Because of this, her body leaned slightly on Noel's body. Noel was smelling the faint fragrance of Yvonne. Although they used the same bottle of shower gel, this woman smelled strangely good. He couldn't help but place his arms around her waist to let her balance her body.
When Yvonne touched her son's face, she was shocked by the big hand on her waist. The warmth around her waist made her absent-minded for a moment. Noel was very satisfied with her reaction and more pleased with their state at the moment. He held his son and she wiped his face for him. This was their son. They were related by blood. Thinking of this, a gentle smile appeared on Noel's face.
Jacob was also smiling. Finally, he could be taken care by both his parents. He liked the feeling that his father held him and his mother rubbed his face for him.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, until Jacob said, "Mommy, hurry up. I need to go out to go jogging with Daddy." Stanley said yesterday that he could go jogging with his father today. The little boy was very excited.
