Chapter 444: Waking Up in His Arms
Isaac said, "I promised Soren that I would come back to keep her company."
Nora snorted and said nothing more.
Isaac looked at her and added, "And to keep you company too."
Nora glared at him, "I don't need you to keep me company!"
Isaac smiled.
Nora ignored Isaac and played with Soren for a while before taking her for a bath.
When she came out of the bathroom holding Soren, she found that Isaac was still there.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Nora asked with a face full of disdain.
Isaac opened his mouth to speak.
But before he could say anything, Soren wriggled out of Nora's arms, ran to him, hugged his leg, and asked in a sweet childlike voice, "Daddy, can you sleep with me tonight?"
Isaac looked up at Nora.
Soren added sadly, "Daddy, you haven't slept with me for a long time. I want you to stay with me."
Isaac rubbed Soren's head, "I want to stay with you too, but your mommy..."
Soren immediately turned to Nora, "Mommy, can you let daddy stay with me tonight?"
Nora couldn't bear to refuse her and nodded, "Okay, he can stay with you tonight."
After saying that, she planned to leave.
As she walked past Soren, Soren grabbed her hand and asked in confusion, "Mommy, where are you going?"
Nora said, "Didn't you want him to stay with you tonight? If he stays, I have to leave."
Soren pouted, "Why does mommy have to leave if daddy stays?"
"I want both daddy and mommy to sleep with me!"
Nora frowned, her face full of resistance.
Thinking about the two women in Isaac's house, she felt Isaac was dirty and didn't want to share a bed with him.
Soren's eyes instantly turned red, and she said aggrievedly, "Other kids have their daddy and mommy with them since they were little, but Magnus and I haven't. Now that both daddy and mommy are here, you don't want to sleep with me."
Isaac couldn't bear to see Soren cry and immediately squatted down to wipe her tears.
But Soren was very upset, and the more he wiped, the more she cried.
Isaac looked up at Nora and persuaded, "Just agree for Soren's sake. We can sleep on either side of her, and I won't take advantage of you."
Nora had no choice but to agree.
She patted Soren's head and sighed, "Alright, I agree. Stop crying."
Soren smiled through her tears, "Mommy is the best!"
She pulled Nora's hand, signaling her to squat down.
Nora squatted down, and Soren stood on tiptoe to kiss her on the cheek, then smiled sweetly, melting Nora's heart.
Nora couldn't help but smile, and her frustration instantly disappeared.
She and Isaac took Soren to the bedroom.
The three of them lay on the bed, with Soren in the middle, Nora on the inside, and Isaac on the outside.
Soren had a smile on her face, clearly very happy.
Isaac softly told her a bedtime story.
Listening to his gentle, deep voice, Nora quickly calmed down and soon fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already the next morning.
Nora opened her eyes and found herself lying in Isaac's arms!
Her head was resting on his arm, her face against his chest, her leg over his waist, and her hand holding him.
Isaac was also holding her.
Their bodies were tightly pressed together.
She could feel the heat of his body.
She was also acutely aware of Isaac's morning physiological reaction.
Nora's face turned red.
She immediately tried to push away from Isaac's embrace.
But as soon as she moved, Isaac instinctively held her tighter, as if trying to pull her closer.
Isaac's waist also instinctively pushed against her.
His husky, sleepy voice sounded in her ear, "Honey, don't make a fuss. I'm very tired and can't give you what you want."
After saying this, he buried his nose in her neck and took a deep breath, "Honey, you smell so good."
Nora's face grew hotter.
Her whole body felt like it was on fire, and her heartbeat raced wildly.
Could he stop talking nonsense?
It sounded like she was unsatisfied and wanted to have sex with him!
Isaac's husky voice came again, "If you want it, you can do it yourself. I won't resist."
His voice sounded very tired, full of sleepiness and hoarseness, as if he was still half-asleep, talking in his sleep.
Nora stared at his face; his eyes were still closed.
These words seemed to be said unconsciously, not intentionally.
When they were in love before, he often teased her, much like now.
Nora took a deep breath and tried again to get ridof his embrace.
But the more she moved, the tighter Isaac held her, and she couldn't get out.
Nora couldn't stand it anymore and slapped him on the face.
"Isaac, let go of me!"
She didn't want to wake him up.
But now she had no choice.
If she didn't wake him up, she couldn't push him away.
She had to wake him up.
Isaac was startled awake by the slap, groggily opening his eyes and looking at her in confusion, "Honey, what's wrong?"
Nora repeated, "Let go of me. I need to get up."
Isaac was stunned for a few seconds, seemed to realize what was happening, and then reluctantly let go.
Nora immediately sat up and put some distance between them.
She looked at the bed and found that Soren was gone!
Nora's face changed, and she asked anxiously, "Where's Soren? Why isn't she on the bed?"
Isaac replied, "Don't worry, Soren isn't lost. She's under the bed."
As he spoke, he reached down and pulled Soren up from under the bed, placing her back on the bed.
Soren was wrapped in a blanket, only her head showing, sleeping soundly.
Even though Isaac had lifted her from the floor to the bed, she didn't wake up.
Nora was very shocked.
"How did Soren end up under the bed? Did you put her there?"
Isaac's eyes flickered with a hint of guilt, but he replied seriously, "How could I do such a thing? She rolled off the bed herself."
Nora looked skeptical, "Then how is she wrapped in a blanket? She couldn't have wrapped herself so well."
Isaac explained, "I woke up in the middle of the night and found her on the floor. I was worried she'd catch a cold, so I wrapped her in a blanket."
Nora was shocked.
"You found her on the floor and just wrapped her in a blanket? You didn't put her back on the bed? You let her continue sleeping on the floor?"
Isaac answered, "I was worried I'd wake her."
Nora was so angry her face turned ugly, "How could gently lifting her wake her up? You just lifted her up, and she didn't wake up!"
"Isaac, did you deliberately put Soren on the floor?"
