Chapter 248: Watts family 2
Davis and Jessica slept in that morning. Despite the warm shafts of sunlight flickering into the room, neither of them stirred. Since their arrival to Noveria, this was one of the rare mornings that offered complete peace—no itinerary, no obligations. Just the quietness of the morning.
For Jessica, the peace was more than welcome, her pregnancy symptoms coupled with the medication she took the previous night made it even harder to wake. The phone buzzed continuously on the bedside table with a persistent reminder.
Davis stirred first. Still groggy, his hand reached toward the table, blindly groping until it found the device. As he prepared to silence the alarm, his half-lidded eyes caught a glimpse of the reminder notification: "Watt’s Family Launch." His hand froze mid-air, and his eyes opened fully.
A heavy breath left his chest as he stared at the message, torn between waking Jessica or letting her rest. It was surprising how something so simple as deciding whether or not to wake someone—could suddenly feel monumental and weighty.
While still deliberating, the phone buzzed again with a new notification—an unread email. Davis hovered his hand over the screen, tempted to unlock it, but in the end, he dropped it back on the table.
Just then, a new email notification appeared. His hand hovered over the screen, hesitating to unlock it.
After a moment’s pause, he placed the phone back on the table with a conclusion "there is no need to be troubled with the affairs of the Watts family..
He turned to her and gave a gentle nudge.
"Babe, wake up," he whispered, his tone warm and tender.
Jessica groaned lightly and burrowed deeper into the duvet. "Can I sleep a little longer?" she mumbled.
"Of course," Davis smiled. "But wake up first, take your medication and eat something. Then you can go right back to sleep."
