Chapter 140: Girlfriend
TERESA’S P.O.V.
After the bath intrusion I had this afternoon, at some point,Lucian must have carried me back to bed. Exhausted from the chaos of the day—and, well, other activities—I crashed hard and slept straight through the afternoon. By the time he woke me for dinner, the evening felt like a hazy dream, fading into the night until it was finally time to crawl back into bed.
The twins were already drifting off to sleep in my arms, their tiny hands curling and uncurling as if dreaming of holding onto something. It was one of those quiet evenings when the world outside didn’t exist—just me, Lucian, and our little miracles.
Lucian walked over, his movements as smooth and deliberate as always, even with his blindness. "Hand them over, love. My turn."
I smiled, gently transferring our daughter into his strong arms. Watching Lucian hold her was like watching the most delicate dance—every motion filled with reverence. He cradled her with the kind of love that brought tears to my eyes every time.
"Sit with me," Lucian said, his voice soft as he adjusted himself onto the edge of the bed, both babies now nestled in his arms.
I sat down beside him, hugging my knees as he began to hum a lullaby. His deep, rich voice filled the room, and for a moment, time seemed to stop. He sang an old melody—one I didn’t recognize but felt like home. The twins visibly relaxed, their tiny chests rising and falling in rhythm with his voice.
"You sing beautifully," I whispered, my voice barely audible."Do you ever get tired of being so perfect at this?" I teased, watching as he slowly got up from the bed and moved with an ease that still surprised me towards the baby cribs.
Lucian chuckled, his deep voice sending a shiver down my spine. "Perfect, huh? Coming from you, I’ll take that as the highest praise."
He held our son next to the bed, placing him in the crib with the utmost care. His movements were slow and deliberate, as if he were handling the most fragile treasure then he did the same thing with our daughter. Once both babies were settled, Lucian turned to me, a smile playing at his lips.
"I don’t think I have ever thanked you for these beautiful gifts Teresa, they are absolutely wonderful." he said, his smile turning sweet.
