Chapter 45
Pierre stared at Selena, feeling at a loss for words. The cold tone of his voice did not quench her enthusiasm, but on the contrary, her words warmed his heart. He was someone who did not know the concept of ‘home’, even though he already had children. However, her saying that she would wait for him to come back gave him a feeling that there was some sort of bond between them. After all, no one had ever waited for him to come home.
In response, Pierre nodded slightly before he went straight to the car. After watching his car’s tail lights disappear in sight, Selena sighed softly and went back into her house. Then, she tiptoed to Juniper's room to cover her up with the quilt, only to find that the girl had her eyes open!
"So you’re not asleep!"
"Mommy, I saw it all!" Juniper winked wickedly.
Two spots of red grew on Selena’s cheeks as she asked, "What did you see?"
As she spoke, she came to the bed, lifted the quilt and got into Juniper's bed. Her first thought was that Juniper might have seen her and Pierre kissing in the kitchen. If that’s the case—
"Just now, you were so nervous downstairs."
Hearing her words, Selena finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God she didn’t see it! Otherwise, I would be so embarrassed.
"Oh, so you saw this."
"Did I miss anything?" Juniper cocked her head and looked at Selena.
"Nothing! Little kids shouldn’t peep!"
Juniper covered her mouth and laughed cheekily. "Mommy, do you want to confess your love to Mr. Handsome?"
She had seen through her mother at once. Well, Selena was not sure if it counted as a confession or not, but she did want to tell him that they could really try dating and give the children a complete family.
However, she gently pinched Juniper's nose and said, "How bold of you! Juniper, do you really want Mr. Handsome to be your daddy?"
Juniper nodded without any hesitation. "He meets all the criteria I have for a daddy!" The little girl was full of delight when she said, "Mommy, I really hope Mr. Handsome will be my daddy. Besides, he has proposed to you! You two cannot run away from this, and you should work hard in the future to give me a little sister!"
Selena was amused by her daughter's words.
"Okay?" Juniper took hold of Selena's arm and shook it.
“He already has two children. With you, there’s a total of three children. Won’t you have enough siblings already?”
"No, you guys should give me a little sister so that our family will have exactly four children. Two boys and two girls will be just right!" Juniper said while gesturing with her hands. Then, she added, "Okay? Mommy?"
"Okay."
"Then, let’s make a pinky promise!" This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Pinky promise it is!"
At that, they hooked their fingers together. Soon, Juniper fell asleep, and Selena returned to her room, but after tossing and turning for a long time, she still could not sleep. Her mind was filled with the scene of them kissing in the kitchen. Subconsciously, she touched her lips, and they still felt a little tingly.
On the other hand, Pierre drove directly to the airport. The flight had been delayed for an hour, and the passengers were grumbling. After boarding, the cabin soon quieted down as everyone had long been sleepy after waiting outside in the middle of the night for a long time.
"President Fowler, you should also take a break." Niall guessed that Pierre had proposed to Meredith, and the two people had probably shared a moment of passion just now, causing the man to arrive late at the airport. Since he had consumed so much physical strength, he naturally needed to rest.
However, Pierre could not sleep at all as his heart had been stirred up by that woman.
