Chapter 25
-CIRCENN.
I can’t explain this but,
This is joy at its peak
I never experienced the warmth of family dinners growing up.
My mother’s constant illness and my father’s frustration with her health issues led to a fragmented household. We had a grand dining table, perfect for sharing meals together, but it remained unused.
Instead, my father would eat in his room, while my mother and I would do the same, each of us isolated in our own space. Despite having a large, luxurious home, we never came together as a family to share a meal, a tradition that many take for granted.
And so I grew up that way.
Eating alone.
I never thought of our situation as unusual or problematic.
To me, eating together as a family wasn’t some special or luxurious experience,
In fact, I’ve been to plenty of dinner parties and shared meals with others, and it’s just not that exciting to me. It’s all just a bit too hyped up.

But who knew, eating around a stupid table with three people you never imagined in your life could make your feet feel warm
Every spoonful makes me feel fall and just looking at my boys just holds this amazing feeling that I still can’t g
‘t grasp around my finger. I look at them and I want to give
e them everything. I want to be everything to them. I want to lay my life at their line feet.
I look at Naomi and I want to thank her non–stop for bringing them to me. For giving me a chance to be in their lives.
And I want to be selfish about it.
Dinner ends, and for the first time I feel full.
So this it’s what it’s like to have your own complete family.
It feels unreal and the last step I’ll take is becoming the fool my father became with his.
The boys start to come at me as the maids clear the table, but Naomi stops then.
She is bossy if you ask me.
“No, it’s late, you’re to get ready for your baths and ready to sleep” she says.
Blake whines
“But I want to play with daddy”
One thing I love about them, they never get enough of me.
“No, Your daddy has a lot to do” Naomi says and looks at me to agree with her.
“No I don’t” I say and she scoffs.
“Well thank you for clarifying that She says and drags Blake to her body
Jake willingly approaches her with a gentle intention, his hand tenderly wrapping around her skirt.
His quiet demeanor and selfless devotion to Naomi are palpable, and his love for her is clearly greater than his own self–interest.
Witnessing their connection inspires me to strive for excellence in my own role as a father, to be the best parent I can be
“Can daddy bathe with us?” Blake’s eyes sparkle as he looks at ine

Chapter 25
The boys jump in excitement and starts to run up the stain.
“You’re making co–parenting really difficult for me,” She says, folding her hands like a grumpy child.
“And just let you have all the fun! No love” I say and she glares at me.
After the boys‘ stormy bath time. I observed their heartwarming bath song ritual with their mother. I must admit, I’m impressed by Naomi’s remarkable solo parenting efforts. It’s clear she’s done an excellent job raising them despite the challenges she faced.
Her dedication and resilience have left a lasting impression on me.
Now that she’s here, I’m more than happy to support her and care for the boys, should she need a helping hand.
I’m willing to step in and provide a stable and loving environment for them, without disrupting her routine or independence.
As we put the boys to bed, Naomi retires to our room and I join later to see her already dressed in her nightgown.
She seems a bit uncomfortable by my presence and I can tell, thanks to the way she’s sitting on the bed and using the blanket to cover half her body.
“Should I leave?” I ask, taking my jacket off.
“Why?” She tries to act clueless
“You look like I am making you uncomfortable” I say.
She scoffs.
Trust me. I am not
“Good” I mumble. “So let’s share the bed quietly. We’re not kids and we’re married”
“Can you stop repeating the marriage stuff? It’s not real” She barks,
“Tell that to half of the city, I retort.
I take my shirt off and her eyes fall on my body- and it’s not leaving.
And what bullshit did she say about me not being her type!
“Some privacy please?” I scoff and she catches my eyes.
She blinks rapidly like she’s trying to pull in her senses and scoffs out loud.
“Oh don’t get me wrong. I was just looking at that. What is that?” She points almost at the end of my torso,
I look down and figure she’s referring to a scar on my stomach.
“A scar” I say as a matter of fact
“Looks like a tattoo from here” She scoffs.
“That shouldn’t be an excuse for admiring my body. If you want to have a go at how amazing I’m built. Then you can go for it Naomi. Do not rattle
My words somehow throw her off and she throws the blanket off her body and scotts, very loud
“You’re not all that Care, I promise” She lies down and pulls the blanket over her body.
I know she’s lying but it makes me mad.
I let the quietness linger and just quietly change into another comfortable outfic
This is why I don’t want to get married again.
Women Juve
I get into the bed and star gently scents, despite the alreaily huge space between us.

“Really?” I scoff.
She doesn’t reply.
“I already gave you two kids. What are you afraid of?”
