Chapter 216 BONUS CHAPTER 1 (TALIA)

“Relax, okay. Don’t panic. Everything will be fine.”

“But I don’t feel that way. I burned my apple pie because I took too long choosing the linen for the tablecloth.”

“There’s still time to bake a new pie. You don’t have to do everything perfectly. Daisy won’t mind whatever you prepare for her.”

“But this is the first time Bruce’s mother has come to lunch at our house. I have to prepare everything perfectly.”

I could imagine how stressed Agnes was right now. She’d been raving about the lunch since last week. She was afraid she wouldn’t impress Bruce’s mother at her first luncheon. Agnes had always dreaded meeting Bruce’s mother, even though I’d ​​assured her that Daisy wasn’t that cruel.

“Celine can’t wait any longer. Turn off the phone and nurse her.”

I gestured for Cielo to wait a moment. He seemed annoyed that I’d been on the phone with Agnes for so long. He had no idea how stressful it was for a woman to face her future mother-in-law for the first time. I didn't have time to deal with that stress because Daisy came to Cielo's mansion unannounced. Even if she had, I wouldn't have been as stressed as Agnes because there was no love between Cielo and me at that time. So I didn't have the burden of making a good impression on Daisy.

"She's hungry, Talia. Look, she's sucking my nose. She thinks my nose is your nipple."

"Wait."

Cielo tried to grab the phone from my hand and placed our baby girl on my lap. Both father and daughter looked equally upset.

“Agnes, I have to go. Celine is hungry and I have to breastfeed her. We're on our way to your mansion. We'll be there in fifteen minutes.”

“Okay. I'm baking a new pie, and Bruce isn't helping at all. I don't know what he's doing in his study. It makes me regret accepting his proposal.”

“It must be something important. Calm down. I'll help you as soon as I get there. Bye.”

Cielo gave me a truly terrifying glare. He was going to go berserk if I didn’t hang up immediately.

“You're talking too much.”

Cielo took my phone and placed it on the console. I moved Celine onto my lap. Her tiny hands were flailing in the air, as if she were going to rip off my blouse and suck on my nipples right then and there.

“This is he first time hosting a luncheon, and it’s also her first time meeting your mother. She’s very stressed.”

“We all know my mother won’t do anything to her.”

“She is. Ahh…”

My baby girl was sucking on my nipple too hard. I had just recovered from the pain of breastfeeding Zaiden, and suddenly Cielo was impregnating me again. My nipple felt incredibly raw.

“I told you she was very hungry.”

“She’s a lot like you. Very impatient.”

“She’s my daughter,” Cielo said proudly.

“My nipples are so red and raw.”

“I like them. They’re more supple when sucked.”

“You pervert.”

I glared at him sharply.

He hadn’t changed at all in four years. Still lewd, still sex-crazed, and still sexy. He was like a vampire because he hadn’t aged at all, even though he said he aged like most men his age. But to me, he was still the same Cielo I met four years ago in the atrium.

“Agnes made Bruce wait so long. Luckily, my baby brother was very patient this time. I thought he’d look for another woman after Agnes rejected his third proposal.”

“He fell headfirst for Agnes. In the end, his patience paid off. Agnes accepted his fourth proposal.”

"My mother intended to meet Agnes in person if she rejected Bruce's fourth proposal. She was as frustrated as Bruce because he always nagged her every time Agnes rejected him."

"Her former line of work made her feel insecure about accepting Bruce's proposal. She was ashamed of her past. Furthermore, she was afraid she wouldn't be a good wife."

“They’ve been together for three years. Agnes has quit her old job and opened her own cake shop. Why would she be afraid to accept Bruce’s proposal?”

“Your family is very well-known in NYC. Agnes doesn’t feel she’s worthy enough to be Bruce’s wife.”

“Bullshit. Bruce loves her very much.”

“I’ve told her so many times, but yeah…” I shrugged slowly.

I thought I was the most stubborn when it came to love, but it turns out my future sister-in-law was even more stubborn than me. She had trust issues when it came to long-term relationships. She didn't easily trust other people's words. And it took a long time to convince her.

“I’m proud of Bruce. He was able to stand his ground with a stoic face despite Agnes’s repeated rejections. If it were you, I’m not sure you’d be that resilient.”

"If it were me, I'd force her because I don't accept rejection. See, my methods are more effective than Bruce's."

I snorted.

“You forced me, and look what happened to our marriage. It was a mess. I wasn’t ready to face your dark life.”

“But in the end, we made it. We have two beautiful children, and more are coming.”

I snorted in annoyance. He was so excited about having so many children, while I had to endure the annoying drama of carrying his children for nine months. If he could get pregnant, I would gladly let him.

“I’m not your baby-making machine.”

“You’re not. You’re my wife.”

He pushed the nape of my neck and kissed my lips gently. His lips moved slowly, teasing my seam of my lips. He forced me to open them for him. But I was too stubborn to give in to his cunning tricks. Every time I got upset with him, Cielo would play his dirty tricks. His superior spirit wouldn't let him lose to me. He would do all sorts of things until I completely gave in and lay beneath him, naked and panting after a powerful orgasm.

"Too bad we're on our way to Bruce's mansion. I can't touch you any further than this," he murmured between nibbling on my lower lip.

I pushed his chest away.

"Celine's still hungry."

I shifted her position so she could suckle on my right nipple. My baby girl whimpered softly, thinking I was taking her away from her food.

"See, she's grumpy just like her daddy. Zaiden is even calmer than Celine. This little princess also cries very loudly if I don't breastfeed her soon. She's really like you."

“All my kids look like me,” Cielo said proudly.

“Yeah, sucks. I carried them and went through all the crap, and yet they look like you. It’s not fair.”

“Then our third child will look like you, baby.”

I snorted.

“That’s one of your dirty tricks to get me pregnant again, isn’t it? No. I’m not getting pregnant again until Celine is three. This time, I’ll make sure my gynecologist implants the strongest contraceptive.”

“We both know I have super sperm. You’ll still get pregnant even with that implant.”

“Gosh, why are we talking about this in front of Celine?”

“She’ll be fine as long as you feed her,” Cielo shrugged nonchalantly.

“You better check on your son. Is he okay at your mom’s house?”

“He’s fine. My mom just sent me a photo of Zaiden eating cookies she made.”

“I miss him. He’s been staying at your mom’s house for two days.”

“Isn’t that a good sign? We don’t have to worry about leaving him with my mom while we’re in Florida. And my mom will be happy to babysit little Celine for us, too.”

"She's only a month old. You have the heart to leave her at home? Why don't we take Zaiden and Celine with us?"

"Because it's our wedding anniversary. And Celine is still too young to travel to Florida."

“Why are you so eager to celebrate our anniversary in Florida this time? Last year, you even forgot about our anniversary,” I said skeptically.

“You’re not a romantic guy, so I won’t expect anything from you.”

“This time, I want to do it right. We’ll take a week-long vacation at a beach club in Florida. Just the two of us. As a reward for being a wonderful wife to me and a wonderful mother to my children.”
