By the time the two kids were put to sleep, it was late.
Violet went back to her room first, and Stanley hadn't returned yet.
She had no choice but to close the door to her room and go to the study.
Coming outside the study, Violet raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Bella? Come in." Stanley's tired voice came from inside.
Violet unscrewed the door and entered, "It's me."
Stanley was sitting behind his desk when he heard her voice and raised his head, "Still awake?"
"How am I supposed to sleep when you haven't even gone to your room yet?" Violet closed the door and walked over, "Haven't you walked out yet?"
Stanley took her wrist and pulled her onto his lap, "I am ok. I was just wondering what exactly Ivy used to lure my parents down that road and then use Sam to get them killed."
"Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it, and after you catch Ivy, won't you know everything?" Violet cupped his face and rubbed it.
Stanley took her hand off, "What about you, have you walked out yet?"
Violet froze slightly.
She knew that he was asking about the surveillance she had seen during the day.
The surveillance that showed her exactly how her mother died, for which she had an emotional breakdown.
So he was now concerned about her.
Violet wrapped her arms around Stanley's neck, "I had you with me, of course I am okay."
What could she do if she was not okay? Her mom was dead and could not be resurrected.
So instead of being sad and upset, why not get serious about getting revenge on her?
"Me too, fortunately I have you." Stanley quietly hugged Violet, his chin placed on her shoulder, his voice low and soft.
He had her by his side, always comforting him.
Without her, he thought, he might not have been so calm and had killed Sam and Ivy right back when he knew that his parents were conspiring to get killed.
But it was because of her and his two children, he restrained that brutal vengeance.
Otherwise, what would she and the two kids do if he got in prison?
Stanley gently bit Violet's neck, "Honey, I've never said thank you to you, thank you for appearing, otherwise I don't know what I'd be like, now."
Maybe it will turn out to be a man with no feelings and only revenge.
Or a robot that only knows how to make money.
Violet patted the man's back, "Okay, why so melodramatic all of a sudden, I'm not even used to it."
Stanley let out a low laugh and continued to nibble on her neck.
Violet felt a little itchy and couldn't help but push him, "Come on, don't bite, let go, it tickles!"
Stanley didn't let go, instead, he bit down the neck and soon came to the collarbone, his voice husky and low, "it's time."
"What?" Violet froze, confused.
Stanley released her neck and looked up at her, his eyes dark, "Three months, the doctor said, and the baby will be stable in three months, and you can have sex with me."
Violet's face suddenly flushed, surprised, "You don't keep counting the days, do you?"
Stanley grunted, acquiescing.
Violet, "You're really ......"
