Chapter 302

When Ivan awoke, he found himself in a somewhat unfamiliar environment. He rolled over and saw Julie,, sleeping peacefully beside him. Rubbing his eyes with a hint of excitement, he turned his head to see his dad lying on his other side, made a face, and then turned back to Julie, grinning to reveal two adorable little canines.

Waking up next to mom should be a privilege of babyhood, and sadly, Ivan couldn’t quite remember having that when he was a baby.

From the moment he opened his eyes, his little brain was working overtime.

Julie, stirred awake by the rustling beside her, opened her eyes to see the little boy grinning at her. Her heart melted instantly.

“Mom, I love you,” Ivan seized the opportunity to confess his sweet affection.

Julie, beaming with joy, cupped his cheek and kissed his forehead. “Morning, my Ivan.” As soon as she finished speaking, a slightly discordant voice chimed in, “I love you too.”

Kieran, propping himself up on one arm, leaned in close to Julie, his face begging for a kiss.

Julie poked his forehead with a finger, “Good morning, my Childie.”

“Where’s my kiss?” Kieran shot a look at his wife, clearly feeling the sting of unequal treatment.

Ivan turned and planted a kiss on Kieran’s cheek, “Good morning, my Kerry.”

Kieran threw back the covers, scooped up Ivan, clad in his bear pajamas, and headed toward the next room. “Do you know how you ended up here last night?”

“I was abducted by aliens?” Ivan, perched on Kerry’s shoulder, feigned shock.

“Hmm, more like a mental abduction,” Kieran teased, poking at his son’s head as he carried him.

Ivan, in a half-daze, suddenly remembered and exclaimed, “Oh! Right, it rained last night! My room was leaking, and my pillow got all wet! You don’t believe me? Go look! You only care about work and not your only son!!”

Kieran was speechless.

Julie, wrapped in her robe, followed the father and son duo out, surprised. “It really leaked? What kind of shoddy construction is this?”
