Chapter 453 Is It Really Me?
Stuart patiently explained to him, "It's different. Your mom and I are a couple."
"No, it's not," Jeffery said. "Technically, you and mom aren't married yet, you're just boyfriend and girlfriend. So, I have more right to sleep with mom than you do."
Stuart fell silent, thinking, 'What do you do with a son who's too smart? Can you strangle him? I'm waiting online, it's urgent. Can anyone give an answer?'
Josephine watched the father and son talk and found it quite amusing. In the end, neither could convince the other, and they just stared at each other.
Josephine suggested, "How about we all sleep together as a family?"
For the three of them, this was a novel experience. Because they had never slept together before.
In the end, Stuart had to agree to the suggestion.
Jeffery lay between his mom and dad for the first time, and it felt quite wonderful.
He was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep.
This made Stuart anxious. If Jeffery didn't sleep, how could he get intimate with Josephine?
Josephine, on the other hand, was still in the mood to chat with Jeffery.
Stuart got anxious and offered to tell Jeffery a bedtime story.
Josephine looked at him, "You can tell stories?"
Stuart glanced at her, "Don't underestimate me. Want to listen? Then close your eyes and listen too."
So, they obediently closed their eyes.
Stuart's voice was very pleasant, deep and magnetic, and when he told a story, it carried an unusual gentleness.
Before long, Jeffery's breathing became steady and long. He had fallen asleep.
Stuart achieved his goal and couldn't help but touch Josephine's hair. But he found that his story was so good that Josephine had also fallen asleep.
Stuart fell silent. He was speechless.
Josephine slept soundly, her eyelashes casting a quiet shadow, like a butterfly asleep, its wings motionless.
Stuart looked at her, then at Jeffery. At this moment, he felt incredibly content.
Because of the time difference, Josephine woke up before Stuart in the morning.
As soon as she moved, she felt something was off, then realized that Stuart was right behind her.
Her back was tightly pressed against his chest.
Next to her was Jeffery, and beside Jeffery, there was a pillow standing upright.
She had no idea when Stuart had moved to her side. As soon as she moved, Stuart woke up.
Originally, the bed was just big enough for the three of them to sleep. But since Stuart had moved to Josephine's side, he didn't dare to move Jeffery, afraid of waking him. So the two of them took up half the bed, and Stuart could only sleep on his side.
Being so close, he naturally knew when Josephine moved.
"Awake?" His voice was close to her ear, carrying a teasing warmth.
Josephine softly responded, "Mm."
"Want to get up?" Stuart's voice was very light, also afraid of waking Jeffery.
"Okay."
Stuart then got out of bed and reached out to pull Josephine up.
Josephine's legs dangled off the bed, and before she could put on her shoes, Stuart picked her up.
He carried Josephine to the bathroom and kissed her. After a while, Josephine went limp in his arms.
Stuart let her go, his voice restrained, "I can't take it, Josephine."
Josephine said, "I can't take it either. You go out, I need to use the bathroom."
Stuart, who had been feeling quite uncomfortable, couldn't help but laugh at her words.
He didn't leave, saying, "Go ahead."
Josephine glared at him, "How can I go with you here!"
She got up to push him.
Stuart held her, "The floor is cold, and you're not wearing shoes. How about I hold you?"
Josephine, barefoot, pushed Stuart out.
Stuart watched her close the door with a smile, then glanced at the bed.
After thinking for a moment, he walked over, bent down, and carefully picked up Jeffery.
Due to the time difference and the long flight yesterday, Jeffery was tired and didn't wake up when Stuart carried him.
When Josephine came out, she found that Jeffery was no longer on the bed.
Stuart was waiting at the bathroom door and hugged her.
Josephine asked, "Where's Jeffery?"
"I carried him back to his own room."
"You really are..." Josephine was both amused and exasperated, "He didn't wake up?"
"He sleeps like a baby."
"He'll be upset if he wakes up."
"No worries," Stuart kissed her earlobe, "I'll carry him back later."
Josephine felt that Stuart's words were not very credible. But who knew, Stuart had really changed this time.
Josephine thought he would take at least an hour or two. By then, Jeffery might have woken up on his own.
Unexpectedly, it was over in less than an hour this time.
Although she wasn't very tired, Josephine still didn't want to move.
The pleasant afterglow spread throughout her body, making her feel soft and unwilling to move.
Stuart carried her to the sofa, then changed the bed sheets and carried her back.
After dressing her, he kissed her, "I'll go get Jeffery."
Josephine said, "Is that really necessary..."
"I missed you so much, but I also don't want to disappoint Jeffery. When he wakes up in the morning, he should see both of us."
Josephine couldn't help but kiss him, "Okay."
Stuart quickly went to the next room. Fortunately, Jeffery was still asleep.
He carried Jeffery back.
Just as he left the room, he saw Gerald. The villa was very quiet in the morning. Gerald saw him carrying Jeffery and didn't say anything, just raised an eyebrow in question.
Stuart couldn't say much either, so he just smiled and carried Jeffery away.
Although nothing was said, Gerald could guess what had happened. He smiled as his phone rang and casually took it out to find a message from Kathy.
Kathy didn't know he had gone abroad and didn't expect him to reply, but she still sent him messages every day.
No one else was awake, only the maids were busy in the kitchen, and the villa was very quiet.
Gerald held his coffee, stood on the second floor for a while, then went to the terrace. He sat down, took out his phone, looked at it for a while, then typed a sentence.
Kathy had sent Gerald a message and then went to freshen up.
After she finished her bath, did her skincare routine, dried her hair, and got into bed, she picked up her phone and was shocked.
She rubbed her eyes, still not believing it. Gerald had replied to her.
Even if it was just one sentence: [Get some rest, good night.]
The last message was from Kathy, she had written: [I'm so tired today, I hope I can get a good night's sleep.]
Kathy admitted that she had a bit of a crush on Gerald. But at that time, she had a lot of family troubles and didn't have the mood to think about these things.
Now, through other means, she had learned more about Gerald. The more she learned, the more she felt she liked him.
Honestly, Kathy felt that there was a vast gap between her and Gerald. He seemed entirely unattainable to her. She didn't dare to hope for anything more; simply messaging him every day brought her joy.
However, Gerald had actually replied to her.
She thought for a moment and typed: [Is this really you?]
