Chapter 191 How Could I Have Slept with You?
"Mommy, why aren't you saying anything?" Soren questioned her persistently.
Nora's back was already drenched in cold sweat, and she was extremely nervous inside, but she maintained a calm facade.
She put on a kind smile and explained "Didn't I tell you? Magnus and this uncle have very similar features, which means this look is quite common, so it's easy to meet people who look alike."
Soren looked puzzled. She rebutted, "But besides him, I haven't seen anyone who looks like Magnus ."
Nora said, "That's because you haven't met many people. You'll encounter more in the future."
Magnus and Soren still looked confused as they tried to make sense of it all.
Nora didn't want to discuss this issue with them right now.
She was more worried about whether Isaac had recognized Magnus and Soren as his children.
If Isaac recognized them and wanted to take the them away or reveal their identities, Daxton would definitely try to harm and get rid of them.
The more Nora thought about it, the more worried she became. She walked over and asked, "Did he say anything to you?"
The two little ones shook their heads dismissively in unison.
Soren said aggrievedly, "I was sleeping well, and suddenly someone hugged me. When I opened my eyes, I saw this uncle lying between me and Magnus , holding us. We couldn't push him away."
Nora quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Isaac might have been half-asleep, when he couldn't find her, came over and mistook Magnus and Soren for her.
Isaac, who had been sleeping restlessly, was now sleeping soundly while as he held Soren and Magnus in his arms. He wasn't causing any trouble or talking nonsense.
Seeing the three of them lying together, she felt both bitter and guilty.
Nora pondered, 'How wonderful it would be if Soren and Magnus could grow up with Isaac.But unfortunately, that is impossible.'
Daxton wouldn't allow Isaac to have a lover or children, and Nora couldn't allow Soren and Magnus be in any danger.
Nora suppressed her heartache, grabbed Isaac's hand, and slowly pulled it away.
"Mommy," Soren suddenly called out weakly, "Can you not send the uncle away? His embrace is so warm. I want to sleep with him."
As she spoke, she rubbed her chubby little face against Isaac's chest.
Although Magnus didn't say anything, his expression showed that he also enjoyed Isaac's embrace.
Nora sighed silently, 'What a magical bond that those who are related by blood could have.They don't even know Isaac, yet they naturally felt a connection with him.'
Nora replied, "Okay, I won't send him away."
Magnus and Soren's eyes instantly lit up, and they looked happy, ready to thank her.
But Nora added, "I'll take you to the guest room to sleep."
Isaac was too heavy. After struggling for hours, she didn't have the strength to transfer him, so she could only take Magnus and Soren to the guest room, instead.
Magnus was shocked.
Soren was equally shocked.
Nora pulled Isaac's hand away and picked up Magnus and Soren, carrying them to the guest room.
After putting them on the bed, Nora sternly instructed them, "Listen carefully, you will sleep here tonight. Be quiet and don't make any noise. Wait for me to come get you in the morning. If I don't come, stay in the room no matter what happens outside. Got it?"
"Why?" Soren asked, puzzled.
Nora replied, "I can't explain now. If you want to keep living with me, listen to me. If you don't, bad people will take you away, and you'll never see me again!"
Magnus and Soren were scared.
They hugged Nora tightly. "We don't want to be separated from you. We'll listen and stay in the room quietly, we won't run around!"
Nora comfortingly patted their heads.
She said softly, "Sleep now. I'll stay with you until you fall asleep."
Magnus and Soren were already sleepy. Under her gentle voice, they quickly fell back asleep.
Nora gently covered them with the blanket and quietly left the room.
As soon as she closed the door, she saw Isaac staggering out of the master bedroom.
"Honey, where did you go? Don't leave me,"Isaac started calling out anxiously again.
'So, he really did come looking for me earlier?' Nora wondered.
It seemed she had to stay with him tonight.
Otherwise, he would wander around looking for her whenever she wasn't by his side.
Nora sighed softly and resigned herself to support Isaac.
She said helplessly, "I'm here. Let's go back to bed. Don't wander around."
He called out to her, "Nora."Isaac immediately hugged her.
Nora struggled to move with him.
When they reached the bed, Isaac pulled her down onto it.Isaac held her tightly in his arms and instantly fell asleep again.
Nora thought, 'What a sound sleeper.'
Nora lay there with her eyes open, quietly watching his sleeping face in the dim light.
"Idiot, don't drink so much next time. It's bad for your health, causes trouble for others, and worries those who care about you,"Nora muttered softly, then gently kissed his lips and gradually fell asleep.
Because she went to bed so late, it was almost noon when she woke up.
Isaac was still asleep and was still holding onto her..
By now, the kids should be up already. She was worried they might get restless and leave the room, or be hungry, so she wanted to check on them.
Nora carefully tried to pull Isaac's hand away and quietly slip out of his embrace.
But as soon as she moved his arm, Isaac instinctively tightened his grip and pulled her closer, holding her even tighter.
At the same time, he slowly opened his eyes.
When he looked around and saw Nora in his arms, Isaac looked confused.He instinctively reached up to touch his face.
Issac mused, 'No mask. How did I get here?'
"Since you're awake, can you let go of me?" Nora broke the awkward silence softly.
Isaac didn't let go. He looked down at her with deep eyes, his voice hoarse from the hangover, "How did I end up here?"
Nora explained, "You came here by yourself. At one in the morning, you rang my doorbell. I couldn't reach anyone to take you home, so I had to let you stay overnight."
Isaac's eyes darkened in disbelief and pondered, 'I came here myself?How is that possible?'
The place where he drank last night was nearly three miles from here. He was so drunk, he couldn't have driven or walked that far to find her.
'It must have been Harold who brought me here.
"Why am I sleeping with you?" Isaac collected his thoughts, his voice turning colder.
