Chapter 126: I Want a Brother! (2/2)

The young lass stared at her mother's back in deep worry.

Calvin affectionately rubbed her head and said, ”Your mommy will be fine. She's just hungry. Do you know what they say? You're not you when you're hungry? After mommy eats, she'll be back to her original self again. Don't worry about it too much, okay?”

”Mkay!”

The young lass was convinced and the two talked to each other for a while.

Afterwards, they heard Charlotte call for them and the two proceeded to the living room.

The living room had a table, so one could call it the dining room, but since the room also had some couches and furniture appropriate for a business meeting— Calvin proceeded to call it the living room instead, since with business— one could make a living.

Charlotte had expertly prepared the ingredients that Calvin brought to her and she carried three steaming bowls of noodles with her on her way to the living room from the kitchen.

The noodle was a specialty in the night market, dedicated to the seamen who worked long hours in the harbor near the Yang Bridge.

The noodles were called the Ship's Knot Noodles.

The noodles were chewy and they sat in a thick and murky broth composed of meat and innards.

There was a layer of chopped onions on top of the noodles and a poached egg in the middle of it all, as well as three slices of meat for the finishing touches.

The room almost immediately became filled with the intense and delicious smell of the noodles.

Calvin also brought with him a can of ice cream for them to enjoy as well as some chicken soup, roast beef, and a serving of egg fried rice. The table was filled with dishes to the brim and Charlotte couldn't help but tear up.

This was the first time, in years— that she had such a sumptuous meal.

And this was all thanks to Calvin.

Charlotte was even more perturbed.

Meanwhile, Cecilia was holding her wooden spoon and fork.

”Wow, this smells good!” Cecilia exclaimed, but before she could even eat.

”Cecilia, wait!”

Charlotte interrupted her with a glare.

Cecilia stared at her mother for a moment before she glanced at Calvin. Noticing that Calvin had the same look on his face as her mothers, Calvin lightly chuckled and said, ”Did you already forget that we still have to pray? Pray to the Goddess for she will bless this meal with nutrition.”

Cecilia pouted but she was afraid of the god's punishment so she nodded her head and made the sign of the Church of All-Encompassing Light.

Calvin and Charlotte followed suit and the three prayed for the Goddess's Blessing. The moment they were done with the prayer, Cecilia instantly dived into the bowl of noodles.

”Hey, your manners!”

”It's fine... It's just the three of us here.” Calvin smiled at Charlotte.

The latter hesitated for a moment, but she also gave a smile when they saw the look of joy and satisfaction on Cecilia's face. With her eyes looking like crescent moons, and her mouth bulging with food, Cecilia swallowed them all with one fell swoop and exclaimed, ”Daddy!”

”It's so delicious!”

”Hahaha... As long as you're happy... Want me to buy it for you every day?” Calvin was gratified.

”No!” Charlotte interrupted, ”We can't let her eat these greasy noodles every day...”

”Tomorrow, I think a light meal is better to add some variety...”

Calvin turned to look at her in astonishment.

He didn't expect that Charlotte was also conscious regarding health, ”All right, if that's what you want.”

He then stretched his hand out and ruffled the hair of the young lass, ”Is it really that delicious? Daddy can ignore mommy's words and buy you more of these tomorrow!”

”Calvin!” Charlotte glared at Calvin.

Calvin laughed out loud.

Cecilia turned to look at her mother and said, ”Mommy! You should eat it too! It's delicious!”

Charlotte coldly snorted, but after a while, she gave up and decided to eat.

Indeed, the noodles looked greasy but it tasted and felt quite wholesome.

The meal was soon over and the three bonded together for quite a while. Charlotte put a pause on her sewing as she and Calvin played with Cecilia who seemed to have inexhaustible energy in her body. But eventually, the limits of her energy came and she soon complained of tiredness.

Charlotte let out a sigh of relief because she was getting tired too, ”All right, then I'll take you to bed.”

Cecilia shook her head, and then she suddenly clung around Calvin's arms and dialed up her charms, ”No, I want to sleep with both mommy and daddy... I want to sleep with daddy!”

”What?!”

Calvin was slightly shocked, but Charlotte who was feeling perturbed since earlier acted as if she was struck by a thunderbolt from the nine heavens.

Sleeping together? That cannot be! Her relationship with Calvin was fake, and if the two of them did sleep on the same bed then she was bound to be taken advantage of!

Calvin was still a young man.

She refused to believe that Calvin would be able to stay his hand when push comes to shove...

In a blink of an eye, her face became filled with the deep shade of crimson.

Under the faint orangey illumination of the light bulbs, her blush became even more apparent and in addition to the visuals of her seductive figure wearing nothing but a tunic with not even a corset underneath, she looked truly stunning.

Calvin stared at Charlotte for a moment and he instantly saw through what she was thinking.

Amusement flashed across his face and she couldn't help but stare at Cecilia in disbelief.

To think that her cute daughter would be such a god-tiered wing woman?

Charlotte hastily explained, ”Cecilia, you be obedient tonight, okay? I'll bring you to bed now, daddy's going to sleep on the couch. He's tired so we need to leave from here so he can rest on the couches here, okay?”

”Nooo!!! I want to sleep with both you and daddy!” Cecilia pouted and hugged Calvin's arm tighter, unwilling to let go of her daddy as she threw a tantrum, ”Lea does it with her parents! She said that they only got a baby brother together because they slept together!”

Cecilia exclaimed with all her might, but after she was done with her sentence.

Enlightenment suddenly dawned upon her as she jumped up and down in excitement and said, ”Daddy! Mommy! I want a brother too! Can you make me a baby brother? If daddy makes me a brother with daddy then someone else can help me with washing the dishes!”

”I don't have to do the dishes anymore and clean the house!”

”I can also have double the snacks and ice cream!”

Cecilia's eyes shone as she thought of the endless possibilities.

Cecilia then dragged Charlotte's hand to Calvin and turned up her charm to the maximum as she pestered, ”I want a brother! I want a brother! Make me a baby brother, please? Mommy? Daddy?”

Calvin stared at Cecilia and he seemed dead inside.

Charlotte, on the other hand, was incredibly embarrassed.

Just what kind of topics kids these days were discussing every day?
