CHAPTER 70: CHAPTER 70: WISHING SHE’D MAKE A MOVE ON YOU (2)

The room’s air conditioning was set high, and in the middle of the night, Raina North felt a bit cold, drawn to the warmth beside her, she snuggled up to Elias Hawthorne.

Half-asleep, Elias Hawthorne instinctively pulled her into his arms. From a distance, the two seemed perfectly matched, as if they were meant to be together.

...

Elias Hawthorne slowly opened his eyes, the morning sunlight streamed through the glass, the bright beams dancing in the air.

The man’s eyes still carried sleepiness as he instinctively tried to get up, only to realize his arm felt heavy. Lowering his head, he saw the girl sleeping in his arms.

Her dark hair spread like seaweed across the pillow, making her delicate face appear even paler, her cheeks having a slight blush from a good night’s sleep, her features exquisite, still carrying a childlike innocence.

Elias Hawthorne’s gaze lingered on her lips, slightly parted, revealing a tiny pink tongue tip, silently exuding temptation.

The memory of her crashing into his arms, and the touch of his thin lips resurfaced from last night.

Elias Hawthorne’s breath caught, a shadow passed through his dark eyes, though the heat coursing through his body made it clear how he felt about this woman.

Elias Hawthorne furrowed his brows, withdrew his arm carefully, turned to get out of bed, and went into the bathroom.

Raina North had slept comfortably, and upon waking up, she found she was alone in the bedroom.

She stretched long and lazily, feeling fully relaxed, then raised her wrist to check the time, startled to see it was already eight o’clock.

Not daring to waste time, she quickly returned to Bobby’s room.

Just as she entered the bathroom, Casper North came in with the silly husky, circling around her.

Raina North pushed her son away: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Casper North looked accusingly: "Mommy, you’ve changed."

Silly Husky: Woof Master, you’ve changed.

"Speak properly."

Casper North suddenly leaned over, with a mysterious look: "Mommy, do you have another little Baby Hawthorne in your tummy?"

Raina North’s face was full of exasperation: "What nonsense are you talking about now?"

"I’m not talking nonsense. The internet says that when a man and a woman sleep together, they’ll have a baby."

Raina North narrowed her eyes: "Casper North, confess honestly, what nonsense have you been reading again?"

Casper North’s little face scrunched up: "Mommy, I’m just calculating how much money for milk powder I need to prepare. I have a heavy burden, taking care of both the elders and the young ones, it’s so hard for me."

Silly Husky: Woof woof woof~~

So hard, so hard.

Baby Hawthorne also woke up, with a tuft of messy hair, sleepily walked into the bathroom, and upon seeing Raina North, his big eyes instantly lit up.

"Good morning, Mommy."

"Good morning." Raina North stroked Baby Hawthorne’s hair, her expression softening.

"Bobby brother..."

Baby Hawthorne glanced at Casper North: "I’m the big brother."

"Nonsense, I’m the big brother. If you don’t believe it, let’s have a fight, whoever wins is the big brother." Even if Mommy says Baby Hawthorne is the big brother, I absolutely won’t admit it now.

Raina North’s temple veins twitched, without hesitation, she lifted Casper North: "Casper North, I hear you want to fight?"

"No, no, Mommy, this is definitely a misunderstanding." Saying this, he flashed an extremely ingratiating smile.

Raina North snorted, feeling somewhat worried, wondering whom Casper’s personality resembled.

Baby Hawthorne tilted his adorable little face, promising: "Mommy, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Bobby brother."
