Chapter 195
Avery’s pov
It was so early in the morning that I didn’t think anyone was awake yet. Xade and I race to the shower, both of us slipping and sliding across the floors but I managed to win. Though I had a feeling he let me win.
Xade dresses me in his clothes once more, being careful and delicate as if I were some kind of precious ornament. My brows are raised as I look at him with a ‘what the heck’ look. “I won’t break you know,” I snorted as he gently put the oversized hoodie over my head.
His eyes are soft and warm on me, every flicker sending warmth in me. You’re my delicate flower,” he utters. “Let me take care of you. I love taking care of you.”
I rolled my eyes, yet they soften as I smile at his tender words. ” Just this once,”
His eyes stare into mine deeply. “Every single day,”
I let out a puff of air through my lips, already knowing arguing with him would get me nowhere. He was an Archer after all and he always got what he wants. “Let’s go downstairs so I can make some breakfast for you and our little one,” he gently rubs my stomach lovingly.
My heart melted. I didn’t think it was possible to fall in love with Xade any more than I did before. It’s like every single day I fall deeper in love with this man.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
I lift my hands up, pouting playfully. “Piggyback?”
Xade eyes twinkle and he turns around and bends down a little so I can crawl on his back. I wrap my arms around his neck and he holds me up with his arms. ” Hold on tight baby,” he teases as he fakes falling.
I clutch him tighter, yelping. He pretends to choke. You’re about to choke me before our wedding night,” he jokes.
I loosen my hold around his neck and giggle. We make our way downstairs and Xade gently sets me down on the stool. ” What do you want for breakfast princess? Raw meat? Eggs? I can whip up anything,” he leans to plant a kiss on the tip of my nose.
Not feeling for raw meat today,” I laughed. “But I am feeling for tons of bacon and pancakes, with syrup, blueberries, lots of cottage cheese, and some hot Cheetos.”
He raised a brow in amusement. “Hot Cheetos?”
I nod eagerly, my mouth salivating at just the thought and my stomach grumbles.
Xade’s eyes dance with happiness and laughter. “Your cravings are crazy,” he jokes and he goes to the pantry. “Mom likes hot Cheetos so I’m sure she has some in here,”
I watch him rummage through the pantry in looks for the hot Cheetos, his expression hard and serious. It makes me smile that he’s going through all this trouble to please me. Once he found it, he lift it up in triumph, a sweet grin on his face. “Aha! Found it!”
It’s a huge bag and my mouth waters and I resist the urge to clap my hands like a child when he brings it to me.
“Now I’ll get to work on your breakfast,” he kisses my lips softly and goes to work. I watch him move around the kitchen while I eat the Cheetos, my heart squeezing with more love for him. Seeing him like this was a sight and I couldn’t wait to see him do this for our little one.
“Here you go princess,” he set the plate of pancakes in front of me. It was piled high with bacon, blueberries, and cottage cheese with some maple syrup.
I dug into the food immediately. “Thank you Xade,” I say with a mouth full and even dip some Cheetos in the cottage cheese and syrup. He laughs and I playfully glare at him. ” This is your kid’s fault by the way.”
He grins proudly.
