Chapter 471: It’s something you can only do when you’re ready
Apparently, one of the promises Natha made to Jade was that the little bird--or boy--could sleep with us from time to time--which Jade used a lot at the beginning to make up for the time I was away.
Especially when Jade turned into a boy, because he wanted to sleep hugging me a lot. How could I ever turn down such an adorable request?
It was rather funny, however. Naturally, as both my child and my husband wanted to hug me, I had to sleep in the middle--embracing Jade while Natha hugged me from behind. But, more often than not, I would wake up with Jade sleeping between me and Natha instead.
I wasn’t sure how it came to be, but I could make a guess. As a habit, my body couldn’t help but instinctively look for the familiar coldness from Natha’s skin. Because of that, I would unconsciously turn around to dive into Natha’s arms. And Jade, who had lost my hug, would look for it dazedly and climb over my body to slip between me and Natha.
Et voila!
But do you know what was even cuter? The conversation they had when they woke up before me.
"Nightmare, Nightmare should teach Jade how to make Papa’s drink," I heard Jade whispering carefully, probably so that he wouldn’t wake me up.
Naturally, I pretended to be asleep still.
"Why? You can’t even reach the tabletop," Natha, of course, wouldn’t miss a chance to mess with Jade.
"Jade can! Does Nightmare not know a thing called stool?"
Wow...I left for a week and my kid getting better at countering.
