Chapter 326 Family of Four Sleeping Together

Jesse’s words left Nydia and the two children stunned. Nydia was annoyed by what he said.

“Daddy, why would you say that?” Tavish was the first to respond.

Jesse shrugged without answering, but his expression made it clear.

Nydia didn’t want to argue with Jesse in the car, so she remained silent.

“Daddy, do you want to be with us?” Molly asked. She blinked her big eyes, full of childlike innocence and charm.

Nydia thought Molly handled the situation well and threw the question back at Jesse.

“If it’s raining heavily, we’ll be scared. We need Daddy’s protection!” Tavish said.

“Protection? Daddy can’t protect you,” he glanced at his own legs, knowing that he would be a burden in case of an emergency.

“Why not? If we’re with Daddy, we won’t be afraid. Plus, we’re not going out, we’re just staying at home. No matter how much it storms outside, our home is safe, right Mommy?”

Nydia sighed. The two children had been worrying about this family a lot. It was the reason why they were more mature than other children their age, having to bear too much at a young age.

“Okay, Tavish is right. Whatever happens, we’ll stay together as a family of four,” she gently patted Tavish’s head and said softly.

Jesse was stunned by her words and looked at Nydia in disbelief.

“Mommy, Daddy, when Molly and I grow up, we’ll protect you,” Tavish took Jesse’s hand and placed it on Nydia’s back, “Daddy, you have to hold Mommy’s hand all the time. No matter what happens, you can’t let go of Mommy’s hand.”

Jesse and Nydia’s hands both shrunk at the same time, but Tavish’s hand was pressed on top of theirs, so their movements were not significant. As a result, Jesse’s hand was still on top of Nydia’s.

Both of their hands were cold, but when they were together, they miraculously produced warmth. However, their faces were not very natural.

They almost simultaneously thought of the harsh words they had said before, promising to divorce after three months. But now, it had been less than three months, and they didn’t know how to explain it to the children.

Molly and Tavish had a good relationship, and it would be too hurtful for them to separate.

Nydia hung her head, hiding the bitterness in her eyes.

When they arrived home, the car was parked in the garage. The Pascall’s villa was in a higher location, and there was some water accumulation, but not severe. To ensure safety, Nydia had raised the car’s height, so everything was secure.

“You go take a shower first,” Jesse said to Nydia.

This surprised Nydia that Jesse took the initiative to talk to her. However, she did need a shower and didn’t say much, so she went to take a shower. She had felt uncomfortable with her pants wet, but felt much better after taking a hot shower. They all sat together to have dinner.

“Mommy will make delicious food for you tomorrow.”

“Yay! Mommy will be home tomorrow, and Daddy will be here too! It’s been so long since we’ve had this, I’m so happy!” Molly’s happiness was written all over her face, and Tavish’s mouth curved slightly upward.

After dinner, Nydia helped the two children with their studies. Nydia noticed that Tavish had a wide range of interests and was reading many books. At the moment, he was studying a world map.

“Were you as smart as Tavish when you were a child?” Nydia couldn’t help but ask Jesse.

This surprised Jesse that Nydia took the initiative to speak to him, and even asked about his childhood.

“Yeah,” he replied.

“Were you smarter than Tavish or dumber than Tavish?”

What did this woman want?

“Of course, I was smarter than him.”

Nydia chuckled, “We don’t know anything about your childhood, we can only listen to you bragging.”

“Is there a need for that?”

“No, no need. We believe you, right, Molly, Tavish?”

“Yeah, we believe in Daddy!” The two children nodded vigorously.

“… obviously, they don’t believe it!” Nydia said skeptically.

Just then, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl struck down with a deafening thunder, scaring the two children.

Tavish threw himself into Nydia’s arms, and Molly threw herself into Jesse’s arms. Jesse froze, apparently not expecting Molly to jump into his arms. He held Molly tightly and said, “It’s okay, it’s just thunder and lightning, it’s just a weather phenomenon.”

Hearing this, Nydia couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “You should say, ‘Don’t be afraid, Daddy is here, no matter what happens, Daddy will protect you,’ and comfort her, don’t you think?”

Jesse pursed his lips and said nothing, apparently being mocked.

“Daddy and Mommy, can we sleep together tonight? I’m so scared!” Molly looked up at him from his arms and asked.

“Sure!” Nydia answered for Jesse. “I’m going to sleep with the kids anyway. If you don’t want to, it’s okay.”

This was obviously intentionally provoking Jesse.

At bedtime, the four of them lay on the big bed.

“Daddy and Mommy, we haven’t slept together for a long time. I’m not afraid of anything now and feel very safe!” Molly was extremely happy.

Tavish climbed up from the middle and slept on the side.

“Brother, why did you sleep on the side?”

“It’s uncomfortable to sleep in the middle. I like to sleep on the side. Do you want to come over? You can sleep between me and Mommy.”

Molly looked at Mommy and then at her brother, and thought the suggestion was good. She immediately crawled over to sleep. As a result, there was no distance between Jesse and Nydia, which made them both somewhat uncomfortable.

And Nydia felt that Tavish did it on purpose.

She turned her back to Jesse and faced the two children.

There was enough space between the two for two adults to squeeze in, showing how far apart they were.

“Daddy, why are you so far away from Mommy? How can you protect us like this?” Tavish disagreed.

Jesse bit his cheek and moved forward, closing the distance between him and Nydia.

The rain was tapping outside. They thought it would be noisy, but the family of four fell asleep exceptionally soundly.

Nydia woke up at three in the morning and breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid she wouldn’t wake up if she didn’t set an alarm.

It would be a week when they finished the job today. She could clearly feel that Jesse’s legs were looking better after one month of perseverance. However, she didn’t know if Jesse would become suspicious at that time.

The next morning, when they woke up, it wasn’t raining anymore.

“Mommy, it seems like it’s not raining anymore.”

“Mommy thinks it will rain again. It’s just taking a break.”

Nydia was confident when she said that, because in her past life, this rain caught people off guard. It was because it stopped for a few hours halfway through, making everyone think that the heavy rain was over and not so nervous anymore. As a result, a heavy rain came with a rare amount of rainfall.

It was a major disaster that killed many people and caused heavy losses.

She couldn’t change history, but she could tell the people close to her about this and avoid unnecessary losses as much as possible.

Sure enough, a few hours later, it began to rain heavily again.

At night, the power suddenly went out with a “pop,” and the entire villa fell into darkness.
