Chapter 476 Sam!
Time was a blur, but eventually, the dark sky started giving way to light. It was way past midnight when the ruckus in the main bedroom finally died down.
Kelvin stood there, surrounded by a mountain of cigarette butts.
He'd been smoking all night.
A soft creak came as the main bedroom door opened.
A burly dude snuck out, clothes in hand.
"Mr. Davis," the bodyguard said, "I did what you asked."
Kelvin, looking all nonchalant, replied, "Good."
"Mr. Davis, Ms. Garcia passed out and is sleeping like a log. That's why I slipped out quick," the bodyguard added.
Kelvin's lips curled up as he turned around, "Got it, you did well."
The bodyguard bowed his head, "Thanks for the praise, Mr. Davis."
Kelvin waved him off, and the second floor went quiet again.
Kelvin had zero plans to enter the main bedroom; he could already picture the mess inside.
The bed was trashed, and he was a clean freak, no way he was touching that.
Tomorrow, he'd have the servants swap out the sheets and maybe even the whole bed!
Flicking the ash off his cigarette, Kelvin turned and headed to Lucy's room.
The night was still young, and he decided to hang with Lucy.
Seeing her sleep always calmed his restless heart.
But as he pushed open the door, he heard soft sobbing.
What the heck?
His heart sank, "Lucy?"
No answer.
Kelvin rushed to the bedside, lifted the canopy, and saw Lucy, eyes squeezed shut, clutching her doll, face soaked in tears, curled up in a ball.
She was trembling non-stop.
He called her name a few times, but Lucy didn't respond.
Kelvin immediately scooped her up, soothing her in a low voice, "Lucy, wake up, Daddy's here. Did you have a bad dream? Wake up, open your eyes and look at Daddy, don't be scared."
After a bit, Lucy slowly opened her eyes.
They were filled with tears, and the corners were red.
Seeing her like this tore Kelvin apart.
"Lucy, don't be scared. It was just a dream. Now you're awake," Kelvin said, "Did you dream about the monster again?"
Lucy nodded.
"There are no monsters here. This is home, and Daddy's here. There are servants and bodyguards outside; no one can come near to hurt you," Kelvin comforted, "Lucy, don't be scared."
Lucy raised her hand to rub her eyes, "Daddy, it was so scary. I don't wanna sleep alone. Can you stay with me?"
"Okay, Daddy will stay with you every night," Kelvin agreed right away.
Lucy's eyes lit up, "Can I sleep with Daddy?"
"Of course," Kelvin replied, "If you were scared to sleep alone, why didn't you tell me before bed tonight?"
Lucy bit her lip, "I've always slept alone. Mommy said I'm grown up and shouldn't rely on her anymore. So, I..."
"Did Mommy say that today?" Kelvin asked.
"No, she said it a long time ago. And I think I made Mommy mad today, so I didn't dare ask for Daddy or Mommy to sleep with me," Lucy said.
Kelvin's eyes were full of heartache.
Lucy was overly sensible and well-behaved.
His daughter should have been willful and spoiled!
He sighed, "Lucy, have you been like this for the past few nights?"
Madison was a real piece of work, scaring Lucy so bad she had nightmares even at home!
Lucy sniffled, "Tonight was better, Daddy. I didn't see the monster with the big bloody mouth."
"Because this is home, there won't be any monsters," Kelvin reassured her.
"Yeah!" Lucy snuggled into his arms, "With Daddy here, Daddy can chase away the monsters."
Kelvin's embrace was warm, solid, and reliable.
No monster could come near her!
"Yes, Daddy is here with you." Kelvin placed her back on the bed and tucked her in, "Sleep tight."
Lucy asked worriedly, "Daddy, will you stay here all night?"
"Yes," Kelvin said.
"What about Mommy? Won't you stay with Mommy?" Lucy asked.
"She's already asleep," Kelvin replied.
Lucy wanted to say something, but Kelvin pinched her cheek, "Mommy can sleep alone. You don't need to worry. She's a grown-up, and you're a kid."
Only then did Lucy nod and close her eyes peacefully.
With Kelvin by her side, she felt invincible.
This was the first time Kelvin slept with Lucy.
He kept his eyes open.
Looking at Lucy's small body lying beside him, he didn't dare to move too much.
He felt like he might crush her.
Kelvin thought, when Lucy was born, she was even smaller and softer. How did Penelope manage to raise Lucy day by day all by herself?
For four years, over a thousand days and nights, Penelope brought Lucy up like this.
Now, he could experience it.
The sky brightened.
In the main bedroom, Madison slowly woke up.
Although her body felt sore, Madison felt very satisfied!
"From now on, I am Kelvin's woman," Madison slowly sat up, placing her hands on her belly, "Last night, I told him not to use protection. I said I wanted to have his children, and he listened to me."
She said smugly, "Oh, Kelvin's stamina is amazing, even better than I imagined. No matter what, it was all worth it. From now on, I'm part of the upper class!"
Madison glanced at the time; it was already ten in the morning.
She gritted her teeth, struggled to get out of bed, and found it difficult to walk, breaking out in a cold sweat.
If this continued, her body wouldn't be able to take it.
And Kelvin couldn't possibly have such good energy every night, right?
Madison took a bath, feeling a bit more comfortable, and then went downstairs.
Kelvin was standing by the window, talking on the phone.
Lucy was sitting on the sofa, quietly reading a storybook.
The scene was incredibly warm and harmonious.
"Kelvin..." As soon as Madison spoke, a commotion of footsteps sounded outside the door, and a little boy ran in like a gust of wind. "Lucy!"
The entire villa echoed with the boy's voice.
Hearing the voice, Lucy immediately looked up, her face full of joy, "Sam!"
She quickly jumped off the sofa and ran towards Sam with happy steps.
"We finally meet again!" Lucy hugged Sam proactively, "Sam, welcome!"
"I knew you missed me," Sam said.
"Yes, I missed you a lot! I think about you every day!" Lucy said.
Sam said narcissistically, "Since you miss me so much, I'll do you the favor of thinking about you too."
The two children had endless things to say and got along perfectly.
