When the man saw his two kids coming, his thin lips curled into a smile before he squatted down and caught the two children.
"Daddy, I miss you so much." Arya said petulantly as she wrapped her arms around Stanley's neck.
Calvin nodded, "I miss daddy too."
Stanley kissed each of the two children, "I am here. Where's Mommy?"
"Mommy's over there." Calvin turned his head and pointed backwards.
Stanley looked up and saw the beautiful woman on the highest step of the competition avenue's front door not far away, looking at them with a smile and waving at them.
Stanley let go of the two children and stood up, taking them by the hand and walking towards the steps.
He kept his eyes on the woman as he walked.
Although they met on video every day, being separated by a screen was never as good as meeting in person.
Meeting in person, he could see her whole person.
She was still as beautiful as ever, and her pregnancy hadn't lost a bit of her beauty, even more beautiful than when she wasn't pregnant, and she had a charm that made it impossible to take his eyes off her.
And other than the fact that her belly had grown, she hadn't even lost her figure and stood there as if she was glowing.
Coming to Violet, Stanley let go of the two children's hands and opened his arms towards Violet, "Won't you give your husband a hug?"
Violet laughed and hugged him, "You're getting better at it now."
Fraser, who was not far away, heard this and nodded his head repeatedly.
Yes, he agreed with that.
When in the presence of his wife, he talked quite flirtatiously.
But when his wife was away, he was as cold-faced as ever.
Sure enough, that was the difference.
"Bigger." At that moment, Stanley suddenly let go of Violet and said words that left her bewildered.
Violet looked at him, "What's bigger?"
"Your belly." Stanley looked down, staring at her belly.
Violet suddenly was amused, "Of course, it's almost four months, and now the belly is growing a little bit a day, which means the baby is developing well, and at four months, the baby will start moving."
"It moves?" Stanley raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised at the wonder of life.
Violet nodded, "Yeah, how about I tell you when it's over four months and the baby moves for the first time?"
He wasn't always around her at that time, so that was all she could say.
Stanley nodded, "Okay."
"Then let's go in first now, dinner is getting cold." Violet took his hand.
A group of people entered the house.
That night, Linda had the good sense to invite the two children to sleep at her place, allowing the two of them, Violet and Stanley, to spend time together.
In response, Stanley gave her a ‘You're Good’ look and decided to have Fraser pay her a bonus.
In the room, the two of them, Violet and Stanley, rolled in the hay before hugging each other and falling into a weary sleep.
The next morning, before the two were awake, there was a knock on the door of the room, "Violet, Violet."
Linda's excited voice came from outside the door.
Stanley wrinkled his eyebrows and opened his eyes abruptly, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes, obviously displeased with Linda's sudden arrival.
It was immediately decided that Linda's bonus would be cancelled.
"Well ......" At this time, Violet began to move, her eyelashes fluttered and she opened her eyes in the next second, there was obviously still sleep in her eyes and her voice was soft and husky, "Is that Linda calling me?"
"No, you heard wrong, go back to sleep." Stanley tucked her in.
Violet was just about to nod, but the knock on the door sounded again and Linda's voice came again, "Violet, Violet!"
