When Cayden was walking back to his bedroom, he spotted Avery coming out. She was carrying a blanket and pillow in her arms.
When their gazes met, Avery immediately lowered her head and tightened her grip on the blanket.
Cayden looked at her with a frown quietly.
After a while, Avery said, “I'll sleep on the couch.”
With that, she walked past Cayden and headed toward the living room. However, Cayden snatched the blanket and pillow away.
Avery stared at him as he walked away.
His broad shoulders and straight back were hidden underneath his dark-colored pajamas. No matter how one looked at it, his figure was undeniably perfect.
Cayden spread out the blanket impatiently and tossed the pillow to the side. He lay on the bed directly before even making it. Avery took a step forward and instinctively wanted to lay out the blankets for him. As a woman, there was no way she could stand the mess.
However, she suppressed her urge to do that.
Rory's bedroom was not far away from the master bedroom, so she walked over there.
When she opened the door to the bedroom, the light from outside shone in gently. Rory, who was still sleeping, would not be blinded by the light.
Avery felt relieved when she saw how soundly Rory was sleeping.
After gently lifting Rory's chubby hand away from her face and tucking it inside the blanket. Then, Avery turned around and left.
She wanted to go to Zachary's room.
Zachary was sleeping well too, but he was a wild sleeper compared to Rory.
Avery lowered her head and carefully kissed his forehead. Looking at his child-like face, she thought that his sleeping habits resembled that of a particular man...
She could not help but be awed by how strong genes heredity were.
The night passed by peacefully.
Avery was the first to wake up the next morning.
The condominium was located in the most bustling district in the city center, with the streets outside packed with cars and people all the time. However, as the condominium's windows were always closed, the sound-proof effect was very good.
The condominium was extremely quiet in the morning.
Avery looked at the two kids first. Rory was sucking on her thumb and sleeping soundly.
Although Zachary had kicked his blanket away, he was still sleeping too. Avery covered him with the blanket again.
As for Cayden, who was sleeping on the living room couch, his blanket had already dropped on the floor.
Avery could not help but think, Since I've already occupied his bed, causing him to sleep on the couch, what's the big deal if I just help to cover him with the blanket.
She walked over, picked up the blanket on the floor, and draped it over Cayden gently.
Cayden lay on the sofa, frowning even when he was asleep. There was a serious expression on his chiseled and well-defined face.
Tucking a grown man in, especially if he was around 1.9 meters tall, was actually very different from tucking a five-year-old child in.
After covering the upper half of his body with the blanket, Avery picked up the other corner of the blanket that had dropped on the floor.
When she covered his legs, she could not help but spot his legs underneath his sleeping robe. They were very muscular and strong, with not a lot of leg hair. Oh my, any woman will be tempted upon seeing that.
After tucking the entire family in, Avery tried to calm her pounding heart and went to wash up.
It was still early. Others would want to sleep for another hour more, but she woke up at that time every day because of her biological clock.
She did not dare to make any noises when washing up. Afterward, she took off the men's shirt and trousers that she was wearing and changed into the clothes from last night that had dried.
The surroundings were too quiet. Since she was alone in the empty bathroom, her mind could not help but start wandering.
For some reason, she blushed when she recalled what happened last night.
The scenes were extremely vivid... Cayden taking off her shirt, burying his head into where Rory had just slept while opening his mouth.
His warm breath and wet tongue... His heavy panting...
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
“Who's that?” Avery's first instinct was to panic as if she had just been caught red-handed fantasizing. Her face blushed and her heart pounded rapidly.
When she opened the door, she saw Cayden standing outside.
Avery moved aside and said, “You can wash up first. I'll go out.”
Cayden walked into the bathroom. When she left, he said without even turning around, “Iron a shirt for me and get me a pair of pants. Thanks!”
“Okay.” She nodded in acknowledgment before closing the bathroom door.
She could not get used to how polite he was.
A white shirt was hung inside on the rack in the living room. Avery found the iron, glanced through the instructions, and started ironing his shirt skillfully.
After that, she took out a pair of men's trousers.
Cayden's dressing room was huge—it was almost as big as her rented apartment, which had two bedrooms and one living room. All his pants had been ironed and were hung neatly in two rows. There were more than a hundred pairs of trousers in different colors.
Avery took out a pair of light grey khakis which would match nicely with his white shirt.
In her opinion, Cayden's body was like a model's—it was muscular and sexy. He could pull off any outfit he wanted.
The children were still sleeping.
After washing up, Avery went to their bedrooms and woke them up.
After helping Cayden with washing and dressing up, Avery went to take care of the two kids.
Half an hour later, everyone in the family had finished dressing up. Avery had also prepared a simple breakfast.
“Come and eat!” Avery felt embarrassed to say that. In the past, she would only say that to Nina, her grandpa, and her flatmates when she was overseas.
Yet, she was saying that to Cayden and the two kids then.
Although the children were hers, they were not a family. It felt awkward to say that.
Cayden carried Rory, who was acting cute. It was a rare sight to see him not acting so seriously. He coaxed, “Go and eat first! I've not buckled my belt yet.”
“Let Mommy do it for you...” said Rory softly.
The apartment was extremely quiet. Other than Cayden's charismatic voice, it was only Rory speaking in her sweet tone.
Naturally, Avery overheard it.
After Zachary finished applying his baby cream, he lifted his head and said, “Our teacher asked us what our parent's relationship is like, but we didn't respond to her. Then, she gave us an example by asking whether Daddy protects Mommy when they cross the road, or whether Mommy helps Daddy buckle his belt or adjust his tie.”
Rory suddenly asked her mother to buckle her father's belt because she remembered what her teacher said.
Cayden glanced at Avery.
“I...” Avery thought that it was not appropriate. Although she was Rory's mother, she was not Cayden's wife.
Thinking that Avery could not find the belt, Rory ran to the dressing room and pulled out a drawer. She took out a belt from the numerous belts, dashed out, and passed it to Avery.
Avery held the belt like it was a foreign object. While the two kids looked at her eagerly, she walked over to Cayden with her head lowered.
She did not dare to look at him. Like a wife taking care of her husband, who was going to work, she looped the belt around his pants carefully and adjusted it.
“What's wrong?” Cayden lowered his head and stared at Avery, who was focusing all her attention and effort on his waist. He realized that there was a red flush on her cheeks.
She was shy but did not dare to show it in front of the kids. While she moved in front of him, he could not conceal his passionate lust for her at all.
