“A definite no…! I just flubbed a little…!”
“…I see. Guess I was just overthinking things,” replied Zivon with a subtle sigh before taking the kids to the washroom.
…The hell was there to even overthink?! And why was he making it seem like she was the one who had caused him to misunderstand in the first place?!
Regardless, they had their meal, and by the time they returned to the hotel, it was already eight-thirty at night. After bathing the kids, Xavia got ready to send them to bed. To her surprise, however, they were quick to exclaim, “We’re not sleeping with you tonight!”
“Yeah! With how much you were hugging each other, it made us feel like third wheels!”
…How had they even gotten to that conclusion? Though… when she gave it more thought, she couldn’t help but feel slightly guilty. In the end, she was prompted to reply, “Well, what if you two sleep in the middle tonight? Your father and I can hug each of you. How’s that?”
“Declined! If we sleep with you, we’ll never get our new sibling! It’s also common sense for kids to sleep with kids, and adults with adults! Yep! Also, we’ll be heading back to the capital tomorrow, and that will surely force you two to separate again! Even if we don’t get Daddy’s hugs tonight, we’ll still get them once we’re home! It’s not the same from you, Mommy! You deserve his hugs at night!”
Upon hearing that, Yulia added, “Yeah! We can get Daddy’s hugs tomorrow night! Now go sleep with Daddy while me and Brother Maison sleep in another room! Good night, Mommy!”
With that, the duo ran off hand in hand, leaving Xavia stunned. How had things even come to this…? Also, when had they rented another room?! Feeling helpless, she turned to look at Zivon while muttering, “…Are you even their father? How could you be so calm about this…?”
