Chapter 480: A normal and peaceful morning always starts with a little teasing
"Papa, what are they talking about?" Jade looked at me with confusion.

But knowing they did it because of me, because they loved me, was...
I buried my face in Jade’s hair to hide the giggle that almost came out. It was nice--it was so nice that I was afraid I would get too spoiled and tempted to use them for my gain.
Jade cupped my cheeks and giggled. "Papa is happy," he whispered. "Jade happy when Papa happy."
"Oh, baby...I love you sooo much!" I kissed the chubby cheeks and the tiny fists and we laughed together before I carried him up. "Let’s leave the business talk and have some breakfast in the garden."
"Oh, oh, can Jade have cocoa jelly today?"
"Of course, you can--but don’t tell Natha, okay?"
"Okay!"
"I heard that," Natha whispered behind us, making us jump in surprise and giggle at the same time from being caught. He took Jade--who truly had become heavier--from my arms and squeezed the boy’s round cheek. "You’re being promised candy and chocolates already, so why do you still want to eat cocoa jelly? You should save good things instead of consuming them all at once."
