“I’ll do it.” Cayne voluntarily came forward to carry her before Antonio could do it, but it was too late for her.
“Did I asked you?” Jilly asked him and made him stopped on his spot, he stood like a statue at the sudden command. He looked up at her with warry eyes.
“He must be uncomfortable to carry you, I’ll do it.” Cayne persistently tried to find a reason for her not to be carried by another man. It was not that he forbid her, he just doesn’t want to make Antonio felt uncomfortable.
“Just say you’re jealous. It has been what? Years since you last hold her?” Marco butted in and got a glare from Cayne in an instant but Marco was indifferent.
“Jealous?” Jilly pulled a devilish smirked. “Let me do the therapy alone, you stay here with her. Got it, Isaiah?” It had been so long since she saw Cayne being jeal
Antonio sat on the single couch in a familiar house office. He looked relaxed and comfortable sitting on the couch while sipping on some expensive wine in someone else’s house. He was waiting for the owner of the house to be back. Sipping some of the wine, he put his elbow down on the armrest of the couch.“Don’t make yourself too comfortable, bastardo.” He commented while walking into the room.“Well, I feel like home. Mama said to do so.” Antonio shrugged and put down his wine glass on the table in front of him.“Who the hell is mama?” His voice was not friendly at all.“Mama Mariah, of course the one and only.” His mischievous smirk was on, he loved teasing him.“Don’t call my mother, Mama. You have no right.” He almost cursed at Antonio for being such a dick to him.&ld
“Cayne,” Jilly called for him. He was in the room next door to visit their daughter and Jilly stubbornly still refused to see Grace. “Cayne!”She waited for him for a couple of minutes to show up. While waiting, she cut herself some apples and pears into a plate. When she finished, the door opened and Cayne walked in.“What’s wrong?” He asked in concern as he approached her bed. “Do you need anything?”“Is she asleep?” Her eyes drifted to the side.“Yes, she is asleep now,” Cayne replied. He still couldn’t understand the reason Jilly doesn’t want to see their daughter. But he needed to be patient, that was the key here.“Good,” Jilly replied. She offered him the plate full of fruit she just cut. She was not going to eat them, so she gave them to him.Cayne to
“You wouldn’t think I get banned from coming to Italy?” Cayne asked in worry because they were going to fly today. They didn’t prepare anything else but themselves. Up until now, Jilly had not seen their baby and they were going to be on the same plane. Just the day before, Jilly decided to stop having midwives. “If you do, do you think it was the DEA’s doing? No, it will be Marcus’ and he won’t do that.” Jilly replied and gave him a look of being stupid. She had been preparing for the flight ahead. She was thinking about her daughter and it got her nervous just thinking about being in the same room. There would be a possibility that Jilly would ask Grace to be put in the bedroom of the jet while she and Cayne would be in the sitting area. She didn’t know why, she was just not ready to face her yet. “You know he hates my gut, right?” He tried to jog the memory of how the last time they had encountered in Italy. “Of course, how could I forget.” Jilly shrugged
After the awful flight she ever experienced, she had been really resting at her house. Mariah had been staying at the house with them, and sometimes Marco would too. Mariah only came home when Marcus urgently needed her, other than that, Marcus had no problem letting her stay with Jilly and Cayne.At night, sometimes Grace cried and Cayne sprightly went to her. Jilly would be awake whenever he left the bed and there were times when she felt useless. Like right now, Cayne went to Grace’s room to check on her. She didn’t cry but he just wanted to check on her, so Mariah wouldn’t have to check on her again. He was sparing the old woman for more sleep. Jilly felt awful towards Mariah, she was the one who got tired and all because of taking care of her daughter.The door pushed open and Jilly turned around to face him. Cayne who saw Jilly awoke got back to bed and kissed her forehead.“Why are you awak
Jilly sat on the bed and her eyes found those mesmerizing brown eyes just like her father’s. She could see the resemblance between the father and daughter. How could that be possible? Jilly thought Grace was all the way like him until she showed Jilly her few teeth smile.“Mama,” again, Grace called Jilly with that smile and she couldn’t help but break into a smile too. That was the definition of happiness to Cayne. He watched that unfold in front of his eyes, something he had been dreaming of coming true.Grace swayed into her mother’s arm and Cayne placed her where she belong and should be.Jilly accepted Grace and brought her into her chest. She was feeling one of everything, she couldn’t describe how she felt at that moment. Nobody could describe how it felt to hold their child for the first time other than pure happiness and bliss. She kissed the top of Grace’s head lovingly
The knocking sound on the front door of Jilly’s house could be heard by everyone in the living room. They had finished with breakfast and now they were just lounging on the couch minus Antonio, he had to go because work needed him. “I’ll go,” Jilly volunteered to be the one to open the door. Cayne helped her get off the couch and watched her walk away to get to the door. They were not expecting any guests because nobody was excited to get the door. So, as the house owner, Jilly initiatively be the one to be responsible for that. Pulling the door open, Jilly was surprised by the guest. But then, a wide grin made its way to her lips making the guest confused. “You didn’t know that he left you for a boyfriend now?” Jilly spoke in a loud voice directing to the inside of the house. Immediately, she heard a ruffling sound and Marco appeared beside her. He didn’t dare to cross over Jilly. He wanted to make sure that Leira
“Don’t you think that she looked familiar like you’ve seen her once or twice?” Jilly asked him as they were laying down on the bed in their room, Grace was fast asleep in her room. “Cayne!” She snapped at him as she didn’t hear any answer. When she turned to look at him, turned out he was busy with his phone. Jilly could see that he was doing business. “Sorry,” he quickly apologize and put his phone down. “Her?” He asked to make sure that he got what she was talking about. “Leira.” She sighed and understand that Cayne had a business to run even from abroad. “I feel like I have seen her before but never really met her.” “She does look familiar. Feels like I saw her in a nightclub when I visited one in French.” Cayne replied. Looking back at Leira, he only saw her briefly at the hospital but today, he got to see her up close and for a while. “She is from French,” Jilly confirmed.
They just finished taking a bath together, a bathrobe wrapped around her body and a towel wrapped around his hip. She winced slightly and wrapped her arms around his stomach from behind.“Does it hurt?” Kook asked his wife and turned his head slightly.“Just a little bit,” she admitted. Yes, they were having a good time in bed and followed to the bath. It was steamy, heated, and exciting. They always found a way to try new things as a married couple and they were loving it so far.They walked out of the bathroom and to their room to change. After they were dressed, Kook grabbed her face with both of his hands and kissed her on the lips. Their moment got interrupted by a blaring phone from the nightstand. He looked at his phone and walk towards it to pick it up. He saw Cayne’s name on it.“Cayne,” Kook picked up the call and greeted him shortly.
