“Jerry …” she gasped raggedly, trying to back away from his lips. It was killing her! Just now she had simply forgotten that there were elders and children outside.
“Hmm?” Jerry Xiao murmured against her lips, relenting only for an instant before kissing her heavily again.
“Kids and aunts …” she wanted so badly to explain.
“They’re already gone …,” he said in a dark voice. Desire was aroused, and it really couldn’t be stopped lightly.
Zoey’s reasoning flew out the window as he kissed her off the clouds.
====
Body and mind, get the greatest and deepest satisfaction …
Zoey lies on his chest, eyes closed, lips, gently rubbing against his chest, reassuringly listening to his heartbeat.
“Are you asleep?” Her voice, soft as cotton flying through the air, landed gently on the tip of the other woman’s heart.
“Not yet.” He held her, his palms stroking her arms back and forth, coveting such beauty, and how he wished, too, that this moment … was permanent and never fading …
“Actually, the Sunny thing gave me a big inspiration.”
“Hmm? What inspiration?” Jerry Xiao lowered his chin suspiciously.
She got up on her stomach and looked to meet his eyes, looking at him earnestly, before saying, “I’ll have another baby for you, okay?”
Her request froze him for a moment, his eyes crossing with a complexity. “Zoey …”
Moving his lips, he tried to say something, but Zoey put her hand gently over his lips, her clear eyes looking up at him, “I could go as far as Sunny and be a child.”
He took her hand, in his arms, “Isn’t having KK and Nini enough?”
“Jerry, I want a child that is expected by all of us to be born to you …”
He had a hard look on his face, “I’ll be gone soon, and the child may not even have a father’s love …”
“You don’t want kids, you don’t like kids?” Zoey didn’t like to hear him say things like that, and two soft questions cut him off.
He wouldn’t be because he didn’t like children. He doesn’t love the kids any less than she does. It was there for all to see.
“The child’s matter, we do not think about it, OK?” Like coaxing a child, Jerry Xiao gently patted her back. Zoey suddenly thought of something, hesitated, pursed her lips, before she spoke, “Jerry, are you worried …?”
Her words, didn’t go on. Jerry Xiao moved around, wanting her to be more comfortable on her back. The sight looked down, his gaze sullen, “I’ve already tossed you around enough, if there’s another child, or if there’s a disease like mine, can you handle it?”
Zoey’s heart tightened and her eyes watered a little. Her hand fumbled, grasping his large palm, the warmth of it only reassured her, “You’re not a burden to me, and you’re not tossing me around, I forbid you to think that.”
Jerry Xiao only felt warmth in his heart and sighed, wrapping his arms around her tightly. “Even if you don’t think that would be a burden, but we can’t bear the thought of a child innocently having to endure such an illness, can we?”
Yes. How could she bear it? Thinking about him, thinking about Nini, that tortured by the disease, she just couldn’t even dare to go back to think about it. But … she really, really wanted to have a child with him again …
This obsession may just be an attempt to make up for the regrets that were left behind.
“Jerry, honestly, is that why you told me to get rid of the baby last … time?”
Mentioning that incident, Jerry Xiao body slightly stiffened, the bottom of his eyes floated out of the thick guilt. He painfully gently branded a kiss on her forehead, pursed his lips, did not explain, just gently apologized, “I’m sorry …”
She suddenly understood, so it was so … So, he did not not want his child …
Back then, he was so desperate to let her take out the child, is her most hate him the most thing. Now, coming to her senses, it turned out to be such a reason, all the nagging feelings that were once buried in her heart, finally dissipated. She with tears, gently smile open, “I thought you do not love children, do not like children, now realize, in fact … you really are the world’s best best father …”
Because, having endured the torment of sickness; because, having endured the parting of life and death, how could he dare to let an innocent child bear it all?
“I’m not really a good father.” Jerry Xiao smiled bitterly, he hadn’t given his children a full childhood and wouldn’t be able to watch them grow up in the future. Instead of bringing joy to Nini, he left her with this disease …
“Stop thinking about that, since you don’t want kids, it’s all on your terms.” Zoey tried to smile as cheerfully and easily as she could. Lying on top of him, she planted a sweet kiss on his lips, “You’re the head of our family now, so if you say yes, it’s good, and if you don’t, it’s not.”
The conversation ended with Zoey’s kiss. The night was deep and peaceful, and they slept in each other’s arms. All around them, there was an air of tranquility.
If …
It’s a blessing to be able to stay together like this for the rest of your life.
The next day.
Zoey is cooking breakfast in the kitchen, Mrs. Zhan follows her in, “Since you’ve found a cook, you can let the cook do it. Get some rest in the morning, you’ve lost a lot of weight lately. If you don’t feel sorry for yourself, Jerry will feel sorry for you too.”
“It’s okay, it’s better if I make it myself. He’s been a picky eater lately, and last night I saw that he didn’t even eat anything, so it’s probably not to his liking.” Zoey said as she tried the congee. Just the right flavor, it’s light, it should be suitable for him.
“He really let you spoil him with this taste.” Mrs. Zhan smiled gently, “Now ah, he can’t swallow even the best things that aren’t made by you. He’s really becoming more and more dependent on you.”
Zoey couldn’t help but smile at the thought of him.
She liked the feeling of being relied on by him like this … As long as he needed it, she was willing to spoil him as an overgrown child … As long as, God can give him enough time …
“What’s the chatter?” In the doorway, Jerry Xiao stood there, looking at the girls in the kitchen.
“How come you’re up?” Mrs. Zhan looked at her son. Jerry Xiao walked towards the kitchen while answering, “I couldn’t sleep when I smelled the aroma. I’m starving.”
“Still the same gluttony.” Mrs. Zhan lovingly raised her hand and patted her son’s face, “You look good today. Mom goes to see if the kids are awake, you guys chat first.”
“Uh-huh.” Jerry Xiao watched his mother go out, and for a moment, they were the only two left in the kitchen.
“You should sleep a little longer, breakfast won’t be ready for some time yet.” Zoey turned down the heat on the stove a bit before turning back to talk to him. It was a relief to see that he seemed to be looking a little better today.
“No sleep, it’s too good a time to waste.” He stepped forward and gently wrapped his arms around her. Pressed against her ear, he whispered, “I can’t sleep when you’re awake. Why don’t you let Auntie cook? You can accompany me to sleep a little longer.”
“I thought you didn’t eat what Auntie made?” Zoey nuzzled, “You didn’t eat much last night. Auntie’s cooking not to your liking?”
“Nah. I’m used to eating your cooking, it tastes sweeter.”
Zoey laughed softly and slung her arms around his neck, “No wonder your mom said I spoiled you. In that case, it’s really me who’s spoiling you.”
“I love it when you spoil me like this.” He bent his head and nuzzled his nose against hers.
“I like spoiling you like this too …” she sighed, her voice soft and roaming into his heart.
He gazed deeply at her, “If there is a miracle, I hope … that I will be the one to spoil you and the children from now on …”
She threw herself deeply into his embrace, “Children can’t be spoiled. From now on, I’ll be the loving mother and you’ll be the strict father.”
“But I can’t seem to be strict.” The image of a ‘strict father’, he expressed his difficulty.
She smiled away, “Then I’ll begrudgingly be the strict mother.”
“It’s a beautiful day, we’ll take the kids out for a walk later?” He, suddenly suggested.
“Yeah.” Zoey agreed, but worried about his health, she said, “Let’s not go too far, let’s just go to Firefly Park. It just so happens that the two kids have been nagging Nabi to go.”
“Okay, all yours.” He nodded unconditionally.
The park of fireflies is closed. Inside the entire park, there was not a single light, only the flickering fluorescence of thousands and thousands of fireflies. The entire dark space, illuminated bright and clear. The bright yellow light reflects an excited little face … Jerry Xiao and Zoey are holding hands tightly, and one of them is holding a child. When the children saw such a scene, they were all excited and wowed.
“Zoey , I want to move this park back home so much. KK, let’s change the lights in the room to firefly lights too, okay?” Nini was seriously seeking her brother’s opinion.
