Chapter 2041 He dipped his head, brushing his lips against hers once more...

His fingers, slender and gentle, traced the contours of her silhouette beneath her bathrobe.

But just as their passion was about to ignite, Edwin burst in abruptly.

“Olivia pooped her pants,” Edwin blurted out, his eyes quickly covered by his hands.

“Let me wash her buttocks,” he said, and before Mark could respond, Edwin had already dashed off.

Inside the children’s room, Olivia's clothing was changed quickly.

Being only a year old, her proportions was still all over the place.

Big head, and small, fragile torso.

Her short neck barely supported the weight of her head as she sniffled, her big eyes brimming with tears.

The room was filled with an unpleasant odor, stemming unmistakably from her.

Olivia, usually so sweet-smelling, was in stark contrast now, overwhelmed by the pungent scent.

Edwin carried Olivia to the bathroom, carefully adjusting the water temperature before gently washing her. As he cleaned her, he softly rubbed her with soap, murmuring to himself, “I'll teach you to be independent.” Edwin then recalled everything he just witnessed.

He saw his dad passionately kiss his mom, and was even on the brink of taking over her completely.

Edwin's thoughts wandered, and he briefly pondered whether he and his sister came into being following moments Like the one he had just witnessed between his parents.

Imagining himself grown up with a wife of his own, he quickly blushed at his own musings, covering his face in embarrassment.

No matter how much Mark desired to be close to Cecilia, he had to stop his actions.

He murmured, “I'll go see Olivia." Cecilia had intended to check on Olivia as well. But Edwin had witnessed their intimate moment earlier, making Cecilia feel somewhat embarrassed.

Sensing her unease, Mark gently caressed her back and said, “I'll go." Cecilia nodded.

As Mark entered the children’s room, he discovered that Edwin had already bathed his sister, Olivia.

Her bottom was dusted with baby powder, leaving it soft and smooth.

Edwin cradled Olivia by the bedside, gazing at her with affection.

Chapter 2042 She had smooth and tender skin.

He adored her immensely, as Olivia's presence had transformed his life for the better, eradicating the loneliness he had experienced alongside Cecilia when he was younger.

But things had changed significantly since Olivia's birth.

It was almost akin to parents introducing a pet to their children.

With these thoughts in mind, Edwin couldn't resist caressing Olivia's face and said in a coarse voice, “Good girl, I'll take care of you from now on.” Angela's Library Oblivious to his words, Olivia babbled contentedly.

Mark approached the bed.

Due to the earlier incident, Edwin felt somewhat awkward and quickly said, “I've already bathed her. You can take her now.” Mark looked at his son.

Edwin had donned a set of blue pajamas adorned with a charming bear motif.

Mark affectionately touched Edwin's head and said, “Olivia will sleep in your room tonight.” Edwin had no objections. He was determined to care for his sister.

Mark leaned against the headboard and took a fairy tale book.

Olivia, on her own, crawled into Mark's arms, placing a foot on his abdomen and resting her face on his arm as her eyes drooped shut.

Mark lovingly tucked her in and looked at Edwin.

Awkwardly, Edwin said, “I'm not a little girl. I don’t want bed time stories.” He then pulled the quilt and lay beside Mark.

However, as Mark began reading the fairy tale book, Edwin couldn't help but Listen, drawn in by Mark's captivating storytelling voice.

Edwin believed that this would surely work on his mother, just as it worked on his sister.

Olivia lay quietly in Marks arms.

In the soft light, Mark appeared gentle.

After reading a page, he turned it gently with his slender fingers, the subtle sound luring them to sleep.

Gradually, Edwin drifted off to sleep, facing away from Mark with his face buried in the pillow.

Mark paused his reading, gazing silently at his son.

Chapter 2043 Olivia opened her eyes, taking in her father and then her brother.

After a moment, she handed the fairy tale book to her father and nestled back into his arms.

Mark smiled, kissed Olivia, and felt a rush of tenderness.

He imagined that Cecilia might have been just Like this when she was a child. Waylen probably couldn't help but adore his sister, much like Edwin and Olivia.

With school in the morning, Edwin couldn't actually care for Olivia.

Mark dimmed the lights and carried Olivia to his room, where she slept soundly, taking up a significant portion of the large bed.
