‘The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. Through the gaps in the curtains, the sunlight hit Maisy’s upper body. In a daze, she took her charging phone from the bedside table. She looked at the time, it was already eight o’clock, Maisy suddenly jumped up from the bed. She had an appointment with
Jay at 8:30am. She was going to be late!
With a headache, she frowned and quickly got up to wash up. However, just as she was about to open the bathroom door, she realized that there was someone in the bathroom.
The house was relatively small, and there was only one bathroom next to the master bedroom. Lucas would usually stand on his small stool and brush his teeth and wash his face in front of the sink. Because there were only two of them in the house, Maisy had always opened the door directly. Today was
no exception. She turned the door handle and opened the door. She did not expect that it was not her son at all. Instead, it was a tall man with his upper body naked.
The tall man had just finished showering and only had a towel wrapped around his body. His broad shoulders and narrow waist were exposed. He was brushing his teeth in front of the sink. Maisy’s still drowsy eyes reflected his chest muscles. She was suddenly stunned, and her eyes instantly shifted to
Jay’s face. When she saw his exceptionally fresh face, she was instantly dumbfounded.
Jay had stayed the night! Maisy suddenly remembered. She stared blankly at Jay for two seconds. Suddenly, she ran back to her room in lightning speed. She jumped onto the bed and covered her head with the blanket. It was too embarrassing! Why did this happen?!
The scene that she saw in a hurry had completely etched in her mind. Jay’s abdominal muscles, long legs, and those pair of deep eyes kept flashing in her mind… Ahhhh! Maisy rolled on the bed. It was too awkward. She wanted to find a piece of tofu and kill herself.
“Go wake mommy up.” Jay’s voice appeared at the door. It was gentle and playful. The soundproofing in the house was not good. Maisy could even hear the faint smile at the end of his voice. Then, her son said in a confused tone, “It’s a great opportunity. You should go. Be brave.”
Maisy was speechless. Did she miss something? What did her son mean by that!
Jay smiled and did not say anything. The next second, the door of the room was pushed open by Lucas’s chubby hands. He carried his dirty doll into the room, climbed onto the bed, and kissed Maisy. His tone was still as soft as when he had just woken up. “Mommy, wake up.”
Maisy crawled out from under the blanket and hugged her son and kissed his forehead. Lucas then turned to Jay and raised her eyebrows as if to say, “See? Watch and learn.”
Jay felt that it was funny and shook his head helplessly. He returned to Lucas’s room and changed his clothes. Then, he went to the kitchen and took out a bag of toast from the refrigerator and heated it in the toaster. Then, he took some beacons from the fridge and fried them in a pan.
After Maisy washed up, she made a call and postponed alll her schedule for the morning. When she went out of the room, Jay had already made breakfast and placed it on the table. Lucas praised him while Maisy was a little surprised, but Jay didn’t say anything, Instead, he gently poured milk into his son’s
cup.
“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Lucas urged her to finish the breakfast. With mixed feelings, she ate Jay’s breakfast. After that, the family of three arrived at the amusement park.
Although Lucas was young, he was already very experienced. He played the playground equipment he wanted to play very methodically. He even told Jay that his mother was afraid of height “Uncle Jay, my mommy doesn’t dare to play this one. I can go by myself. You can take care of her down here.” As he
said that, he hurriedly ran to the queue. In fact, he had planned to give Jay and Maisy some private space.
“believe what you said now.” Jay looked at the how happy Lucas was and said with appreciation, “Indeed, he can live very well without his father.”
Maisy suddenly felt sad and did not respond. The life of a single mother was actually very difficult. In the first few years after Lucas was born, she often broke down and cried. Fortunately, Lucas was well-behaved and smart, so she could be at peace now. However, the struggles and sadness in her heart
were not something that outsiders could understand, no one would understand even if she said it.
At this time, Jay held Maisy’s hand firmly and said with heartache, “Thank you, it’s been hard on you.”
This sentence almost made Maisy’s eyes turn red.
“It’s not that bad.” Maisy pulled her hand out as she tidied her hair. She pretended to be relaxed and said, “Lucas is very obedient, so it’s not very hard.”
Feeling her rejection, Jay’s gaze became deeper and more dangerous.
