Chapter 51
"Mommy, please let daddy stay in our house!" Zeph begged for his daddy.
"Zeph, our house is too small." Vivianna replied.
"No! If you think it will be crowded with me in the middle, I'll just sleep on my tiny bed tonight. You can sleep with Daddy." Zeph stated, thinking he was smart.
Augustine kissed Zeph and praised him, "My son's arrangement is reasonable."
Vivianna was going crazy, "No."
"Daddy, can we play with toys? Let's not disturb mommy!"
"Okay!" Augustine agreed brightly.
In the kitchen, Vivianna's gorgeous face was still hot. The thought of Augustine not caring about her son was completely gone. However, she felt relieved. So long as Augustine cared about her son and giving him his fatherly love, she would endure that man's presence.
Other than crossing the line, she would actually allow him to bond with Zeph. After all, Zeph already knew that his father existed, so she had no reason to prevent them from meeting.
Vivianna opened another bag of noodles and soaked them in the water. She planned to cook one more portion.
In the hall, Augustine visited the small suite. The decoration was simple, but Vivianna had put in a lot of effort in decorating, which added some warmth to it.
"Daddy, this is my room." Zeph pushed open the door to his room. A small toddler bed leaned against the wall with a carpet. There were his toys on the carpet.
"Daddy, do you want to have a look at our photo albums? There are photos of me!" Zeph wanted his daddy to know more about his growth.
Augustine wanted to make up for the time he wasn't there for Zeph. He nodded and chuckled, "Yes, hurry and bring it to me."
"Okay!" Zeph walked to Vivianna's room and took out an album from Vivianna's closet.
Augustine took over the album. On the first page, there was a photo of Vivianna holding their newborn son. She was wearing a hospital gown with her eyes staying on the little guy in her arms, wrapped in a white towel.
Augustine's heart sank. Even through the cold hard photo, his heart melted at the sight of his little son who was so delicate. Moreover, there was Vivianna.
Although she did not dress up elegantly and her messy hair was down, her face was covered with a layer of blinding light, looking so beautiful and captivating.
"That was the time when I was born. Mommy said that she had a difficult time giving birth to me!" Zeph looked at her mommy with teary eyes. It really broke his heart.
Augustine flipped through, those photos were his son's after his birth. Some were him alone in the pictures, some were with Vivianna. Zeph in the photos was dressed up adorably. He was wearing an innocent smile. It was obvious that Vivanna had taken really good care of Zeph.
Augustine's heart could not help but soften. After looking through the photo album, he had a deeper understanding of Vivianna. At least, she was a responsible mother.
Closing the photo album, Augustine reached out to ruffle Zeph's hair, "Don't worry. From now on, daddy will always be right by your side. I will never leave you."
"Okay!" Zeph nodded and put his arms around his neck, giggling.
The smell of spaghetti came from the kitchen. Vivianna brought a small bowl and two big bowls and divided the noodles into three portions.
Zeph was the first to rush out after smelling the spaghetti. Augustine was beside him. He was looking at the woman who was by the table giving out the cutlery, in a floral blue apron and a loose T-shirt with her hair tied loosely behind her. Under the light, she exuded a kind of virtuous charisma.
Vivianna glanced at his son and then her eyes fell on the man who was heading toward her. He was too tall, his presence made the whole space seem cramped. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
"Time to eat." Vivianna greeted. She untied her apron and sat down at the table. Then she pushed the bowl with the biggest portion toward him.
Although Augustine hadn't eaten yet, the smell was enough to make his stomach growl. When he sat down, he noticed Vivianna holding Zeph's bowl and blowing the spaghetti for him. She was very caring and considerate.
"Mommy, I'll blow it myself. You should eat! You must be hungry too." Zeph took over the bowl.
Vivianna warned, "Okay. Be careful. Don't burn your tongue."
"Okay!" Zeph picked up the fork, churning it to make a ball of noodles. He puffed his cheeks and blowed the noodles before putting them into his mouth.
Augustine laughed silently and glanced at his son
proudly.
Vivianna smiled. She raised her head and met the eyes of the man opposite her. The gentle smile in each other's eyes remained. The sight of Augustine was quite sexy yet dangerous.
Vivianna lowered her eyes in a hurry and did not dare to look straight at him.
However, her face was burning like mad.
Augustine looked at her calmly and smirked.
It was her house, so why should she be afraid of him? She lifted her head up and glared at him warningly.
In doing so, Augustine's smile widened charmingly. That womna was really interesting.
Zeph kept blowing his noodles and did not notice the subtle change between his daddy and mommy.
Augustine lowered his head to eat spaghetti. When he had the first bite, Vivianna glanced at his expression secretly as if she was afraid that he, as a rich young master, would not like it. However, he did not dislike it at all. Instead, he took another bite. It was obvious that he liked it very much.
Vivianna was starving. She lowered her head to eat, but she didn't forget to check on Zeph's progress from time to time. In the quiet room, three of them gave off a harmonious atmosphere.
When they were done, Vivianna cleaned up the bowls and forks. It was already 8:30 p.m. She wiped her hands and came out, seeing Augustine was playing with her son on the sofa.
Zeph looked up and said, "Mommy, I want to build a castle as beautiful as daddy's."
She smiled and said to him, "Go back to your room and play. I'll have a chat with your father."
Zeph noticed that her daddy and mommy were about to whisper again, so he carried his lego bucket and went into his room obediently.
Seeing that her son had closed the door, she put her hands on her waist and looked into the man's flickering eyes. There was an unfathomable emotion in his eyes. He was also looking at her as if he was deep in thought.
"Augustine, you have had dinner. Aren't you supposed to leave now? I don't want to chase you away in front of my son." Vivianna said.
Augustine raised his eyebrows, "Why should I be leaving? I'm staying over here tonight."
"There's no extra room for you."
"I don't mind sleeping in your room." Augustine replied calmly.
She was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "But I don't like it. I don't like men sleeping on my bed."
"I don't care. I'm going to sleep in your bed tonight." Augustine was used to being aggressive, he was not one to give in.
Vivianna's pretty face turned livid. At that moment, it was not easy for her to kick him out. She bit her lip, "I will allow you to sleep in for a night. After tomorrow, you are not allowed to come to my house again."
She compromised. She was going to sleep on the sofa.
