Luther was relentless, "No, you spend too little time with me."
Joyce hesitated, "..."
Clearly, she spent the most time with him every day, sleeping with him every night. She only occasionally got up to see the kids, always with him. As for the daytime, she would take turns with the nanny to take care of the kids. She had never neglected him. Where did this come from?
It was so strange to see a father being jealous of his own children.
She reached out and punched him in the chest, "You, stop it. You don't want me to go to work, nor do you want me to take care of the kids. Do you want to tie me down? Preferably to your belt? Watch me all the time."
"If I could, of course," Luther shamelessly stated.
Joyce angrily pinched him.
"Ouch," Luther pretended to frown, "That hurts, be gentle."
Joyce was speechless.
Luther took advantage and leaned down, kissing her on the lips.
Seeing her non-reaction, he embraced her and took the opportunity to kiss her, their lips entwining.
This affectionate scene was observed by Cecelia, who happened to pass by.
Cecelia cleared her throat to remind them. She was already used to their affection, did not want to disturb them, but she had something to say.
Upon hearing Cecelia's voice, Joyce widened her eyes and quickly pushed Luther away.
Only then did Luther release Joyce.
Joyce quickly lowered her head and wiped her lips quietly.
Then she looked up and called out, "Mom, is something the matter?"
Cecelia smiled, "I have packed up, and I'm getting ready to leave for the Capital this evening. I've already arranged all the details with a few nannies. I just wanted to ask you if there's anything to take care of."
Joyce shook her head, "Mom, you've thought of everything. I don't need to worry."
Cecelia walked up, "In recent days, how do you feel about the nannies taking care of Wilson and Cullen?"
"They are very dedicated and have not shown any unusual behavior," Joyce thought for a moment and replied.
Luther also agreed.
"Mom, do you think something's wrong?" Joyce asked.
Cecelia pondered, "I've been observing them carefully every day, and their child care is indeed impeccable. But the more flawless they are, the more peculiar I feel. It all seems too smooth. It's like... how to describe it? A person driving on a wide road with no cars in front or behind. It inevitably raises suspicion."
Luther laughed, "Mom, you worry more than I do. These are all people we personally selected."
"Well, perhaps I'm just overly cautious," Cecelia added, "Nevertheless, even if they are people I sent from my contacts, after I leave, both of you need to be more careful."
"Okay, I will," Joyce nodded, "By the way, Mom, Luther's mother, sister, and brother-in-law are coming to visit us today. Since you're still here, we can all gather together."
Cecelia was surprised, "Oh, Xiu Yun is coming too? I haven't seen her in many years. How is her illness?"
Luther replied, "It's manageable. I think she should recognize you by now."
