Roxanne looked at her husband and nodded. We can only deal with it this way. After all, this blood relation can’t be avoided no matter what.
Lucian and Roxanne brought Archie, Benny, and Estella to the hot spring resort. They all soaked in the hot spring before returning to the manor, chatting and laughing.
Archie and Benny clamored to play chess with Elias. Elias hastily waved his hands in refusal, declining with the excuse that he had something else to do. That made Sonya snicker at the side.
“Your grandpa can’t win anymore. After losing nine consecutive games to you two the last time, he has long since lost the confidence to play with you!” She exposed Elias, making him so furious that he glared at her.
“Let’s go upstairs and make some clothes!” Estella urged Sonya to go upstairs with her, where her exclusive design studio was. All of Snuggly’s clothing designs originated there. Following that, Archie and Benny had no choice but to give up. They went upstairs and studied a game of checkers.
Meanwhile, Roxanne went into the kitchen and prepared a fruit platter. Then, she hollered at Lucian to come and have some fruits. After some consideration, the couple took the initiative to tell Elias about Grant’s request to visit the triplets.
“I have no objections. No matter the kind of person he is, he’s still the kids’ grandfather and should be allowed to visit them. Roxanne, you can make the call when it comes to this.”
Elias readily agreed and assured them that Sonya would certainly have no problems with it. Roxanne nodded before discussing the matter with Lucian. It happened to be field day tomorrow, and the children would be let out of school early. Thus, they decided to bring the triplets out and meet Grant the next day. It would be considered a realization of his wish..
As for the future, they would try to minimize all contact as much as possible. After all, he had to pay the price for his mistakes in the past twenty to thirty years.
Sometime later, Roxanne had just stepped out of the bathroom in a bathrobe after taking a shower when a ravenous wolf scooped her up in a bridal carry and rained kisses on her. “Why are you in such a hurry?” She responded to the man, but she could sense that he had something particular in mind that day.
Lucian abruptly stopped his passionate pursuit of pleasure. Subsequently, he wore a pensive look on his face. “Darling, don’t you think the triplets are too mature? They’re all incredibly talented and exceedingly independent. I can’t even get to experience being a father properly.”
“So? What are you planning to do about it?” Roxanne asked the obvious with a sweet smile tugging at her lips.
“Naturally, it’s to have a baby as soon as possible. It’ll be tough on you, Darling. But don’t worry. When you’re pregnant, I’ll definitely obey you to the letter without a word of protest. I’m even considering sitting for a caregiver certification to wait on you throughout your pregnancy!” Lucian promised solemnly, suffusing her with gratification.
At once, she turned the tables on him and unleashed the entirety of her passion. The night passed in an endless storm of passion. Coralie only stayed in the hospital for a day before she decided to get discharged.
Initially, she wanted to phone Jonathan. Upon recalling how her brother questioned the man, however, she felt that their relationship seemed to have deteriorated significantly.
Most importantly, she could sense that Madilyn’s attitude toward him was very much unusual. On top of that, he also appeared extremely close to the woman.
Having always been a confident person, Coralie was convinced that she would be providing him space to miss her and dream about her infinitely by leaving Horington for some time. Never had she thought that it would have given another woman a chance instead.
It went without saying that an outstanding man attracted the opposite sex by the droves. To her, having a rival actually sparked her competitiveness.
After mulling it over, she ultimately decided to give Jonathan a call. The ringing tone rang several times before the man finally answered the call.
Jonathan’s voice was beyond detached right off the bat. “How are you doing, Ms. Crawford? I’m currently dealing with the matter of compensation for the car accident. It should be finalized today. Can you please give me your account number so I can transfer you the money?”
“I’m really sorry, Jonathan. My brother only spoke to you in such a manner because he was out of his mind. He has left Horington now. I’m alone in the hospital without anyone to take care of me. Can you come and pick me up from the hospital?”
Coralie’s voice dripped with feminine fragility, making it difficult for any man to refuse her.
After much consideration, Jonathan decided to go and lend Coralie a hand. After all, he was the one who caused the car accident. However, ever since he learned that she was Shawn’s biological sister, he had been inexplicably averse toward her inwardly.
Before going to the hospital to pick her up, he headed toward Madilyn’s mansion as usual, with loads of traditional supplements in his car to deliver them to Lorraine after leaving the traffic police department.
When he reached the mansion, Lorraine hurried out enthusiastically and helped to carry the things. Then, she served him a cup of coffee.
“Are you free, Jonathan? Go and look in on Madilyn. She’s somewhat under the weather today.” Only upon hearing Lorraine’s request did Jonathan notice that Madilyn’s car was still in the courtyard.
“What? Madilyn is sick?” Jonathan’s expression inexorably turned concerned, and he immediately strode into the living room.
A smile promptly bloomed on Lorraine’s face. In truth, Madilyn was not really sick but tired herself out recently. Consequently, her stomach ached worse now that she was on her menstruation. Jonathan went straight to Madilyn’s room on the second floor..
The room door was closed. Knocking on it, he hollered, “Are you in there, Madilyn? Am I disrupting your rest? And how are you feeling? Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?”
Madilyn was stunned for a moment when she heard Jonathan’s voice right after rousing from her nap. Unbidden, she was a touch delighted to hear him sounding all frantic. “I’m fine. Why are you here?” she asked, quickly getting out of bed and changing out of her pajamas.
She felt that Jonathan would not simply push open the door and barge in, but it never crossed her mind that the door was not locked. All of a sudden, a gust of wind swept past.
She happened to be taking off her clothes when she felt a breeze brushing past her back, bringing along a cool sensation. Glancing back over her shoulder, she met Jonathan’s eyes and was instantly stupefied.
Likewise, Jonathan had never expected such a thing to transpire out of the blue. Stumped, he did not know how to react for a long time.
“Ahh! Close the door, quick!” Madilyn swiftly covered her body with both hands and dropped into a crouch. It felt as though every single pore in her body was emitting heat, and her face flamed hotly. Deep within, she was so mortified that she wished the ground would open up and swallow her whole.
“H–I’m sorry!” Jonathan hastily averted his gaze, so nervous that he stammered. He hurriedly reached out and slammed the door close. A loud bang split the air.
Downstairs, Lorraine was puzzled when she heard her daughter’s shrill cry. Raising her voice, she asked, “What’s wrong, Maddy?”
“N-Nothing!” Madilyn shouted from the window at once. Gah! How utterly embarrassing! Fortunately, I’d only taken off my pajama top at that time!
Jonathan, on the other hand, remained rooted to the spot. A tingling sensation coursed through him, and an indescribably peculiar feeling bubbled within him.
He was no ignorant lad, merely never having had much to comment on the female figure. Many of the opposite sex threw themselves at him in the past, but he had never felt anything for them.
