Verian took a whiff from Heaton’s warm scent while raising her tiny face from his chest, she said, “Can you bring Little Jelly Bean over for a few days?”
Heaton raised his brows slightly and seemed slightly unwilling as he said, “It’s New Year’s Eve next week and we’ll have to return on eve’s night so why’re we bringing the little rascal over anyway?”
The result of bringing Little Jelly Bean over would be the deprivation of sex for a few days in a rows. He might not even have the chance to hug Verian to sleep at night.
He had long-term insomnia and whenever he hugged Verian as he slept, his insomnia would be less serious.
However, if Little Jelly Bean was to come over, she would no doubt throw a fit on wanting to sleep with Verian.
Verian looked at him with a funny look as he said, “How could you say that about your own daughter? Little Jelly Bean is quite obedient, okay? I’ve not seen her in days and I miss her dearly.”
Heaton’s phone suddenly rang.
The man raised his brows when he looked at the caller’s ID as he said, “Speak of the devil.”
Verian stood on her toes and said, “Is that Little Jelly Bean?”
Heaton picked up the call and all he could hear was a child-like voice from the other end, “Hey, Daddy…”
“Why aren’t you asleep yet? It’s so late now!”
“I missed you, okay! Daddy, where’s Monty?”
Heaton scoffed and said, “If you really missed me, why did you ask for Monty after only speaking so briefly with me?”
Verian noticed his stern look. She smiled and said, “Don’t tease her already.”
Little Jelly Bean said, “Daddy, I heard Monty’s voice!”
Heaton handed Verian his phone immediately.
“Do you miss me, Jelly Bean?”
“Yeah! I miss you! Monty, do you miss me?”
“I do, I miss you dearly.”
Heaton noticed the mother-daughter duo bonding over a phone call and no longer wished to listen to anymore of it. Hence, he turned around and was ready to manage some emails.
About half an hour later, Verian took his phone into the study.
The moment she entered the study, she noticed Heaton was wearing a pair of silver-framed glasses while working on his laptop.
This was the first time for Verian to see Heaton in glasses. He looked fresh.
“Why’re you suddenly wearing glasses now?”
Heaton said, “Workload has been increasing lately and my vision is slightly poor.”
Verian asked, “Oh right, your phone is almost out of power, where’s your charger?”
Heaton pointed as Verian approached the charging dock and placed the phone down to charge.
“You spoke with Little Jelly Bean for that long?”
“Yeah, she was in bed so I told her a bedtime story as well. I hung up after tucking her to bed.”
When Verian approached him, she was dragged into his arms as she sat on his lap. Heaton stared intensely at her with his dark eyes and said, “When will you start to comfort me like that too?”
