The fabric used for the product was scarce, possibly an attempt by the seller to maximize profit. It barely covered certain parts, causing Esther to blush as she examined her reflection in the full-length mirror.
After selecting a beautifully designed cotton pajama dress for herself, Esther tidied her hair and made her way to Felixâs room. Inside, Bradley was blow-drying Felixâs damp hair.
Upon hearing Estherâs voice, Felix eagerly emerged from the bathroom and embraced her.
âMommy, can I sleep between you and Daddy tonight? Please?â Felix pleaded, his hair still damp.
Bradley coldly rejected the request, saying, âNo.â
âBut Mommy, Iâve never slept with both of you before,â Felix complained pitifully. âI used to sleep alone, and I was so scared!â
Esther had no reservations when it came to Felix. Seeing his pitiful expression, she turned to Bradley and implored, âDarling, let him sleep with us tonight! Please!
âDaddy, please!â Felix chimed in, adding to the pleas.
Confronted with the two pitiful faces before him, Bradley reluctantly acquiesced. âJust for one night?â
Felix joyfully exclaimed, âThank you, Daddy! Love you, cross my heart!â
Bradley sighed, feeling exasperated by Felixâs dramatic behavior.
Esther took Felixâs hand and spoke softly. âDarling, Iâve prepared the bath. Go take a bath, and Felix and I will choose a book to read together.â
Esther and Felix selected a storybook that was suitable for all three of them to enjoy.
Meanwhile, Bradley made his way to the bathroom, where his clean clothes were already prepared.
The fragrance of peaches filled the air.
After taking a shower and stepping out of the bathroom, Bradley found Esther and Felix engrossed in the story. They had intentionally saved a space for him. The electric curtains remained open, revealing the distant city lights that resembled a dazzling sea of stars.
âDaddy,â Felix called out.
Bradley, dressed in his pajamas, sat next to Felix and joined them in reading the storybook. However, Felix, being a tired child after a day full of activities, fell asleep in Estherâs arms before they could finish the book.
Esther gazed at Felixâs adorable sleeping face and couldnât resist kissing his cheek gently. With a tender smile, she turned to Bradley and said, âDarling, our son is so cute!â
Bradley looked at Felix, peacefully slumbering, and then at Esther, who radiated a warm maternal glow.
He softly agreed, âHeâs truly well-behaved and adorable.â
In the past, when Felix had to receive injections while sick, he never complained about the pain.
Bradley recalled other children at the pediatricianâs office throwing tantrums, rolling on the floor, and adamantly refusing to get their shots. Their parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents would resort to coaxing and deceiving, making promises of various rewards, until the children reluctantly complied with the adultsâ instructions.
Felix, on the other hand, never displayed such behavior. At most, he would silently endure the pain and shed a few tears.

had their own perceptions. The boy knew who would comfort him and shower him with affection.
âDarling, would you like a drink?â Esther leisurely extended the invitation.
Bradley promptly declined, saying, âNo, thank you. Iâll go to the study to do some work. You should get some rest.â
After spending the de with Felix, Bradley accumulated numerous tasks requiring his attention. It was of them.
