When she saw that Lovette was being affectionate, Jovannie felt her heart melt.
As he watched the lovely interaction between the mother and daughter, Luke felt his heart melt into a sweet puddle as well.
After playing around for a while, Lovette asked for desserts.
Jovannie fed her a few mouthfuls of pudding before handing the spoon over to the child.
Lovette turned to her father. Her sparkling eyes questioned if he wanted to feed her as well. Thus, Luke also fed her a few mouthfuls before letting the child eat on her own.
Lovette had a chubby face and looked adorable when she ate.
As she stared at her daughter, Jovannie couldn't help but kiss her cheeks a few times.
Then, she asked about Valeria's recent situation. She knew that Luke went out to talk to his brother.
When Luke told Jovannie about Valeria's thoughts, she was amused.
Once Lovette finished her dessert, she asked for seconds.
Jovannie was worried that the child would lose her appetite during dinner and persuaded her to have the dessert tomorrow.
"Okay..." Lovette said aggreivedly.
Seeing her adorable expression, both Jovannie and Luke had the urge to satisfy all her wishes.
At night.
Jovannie and Lovette were making bubbles in the large bathtub.
This was Lovette's favorite time because she could play in the water.
Even when Jovannie rubbed her body with a soft towel, she treated it as a game. However, she would deliberately splash water at her mother, who had no choice but to entertain her.
Jovannie had heard that children were scared of taking a bath, but Lovette seemed to enjoy it very much. Every time she tried to pick Lovette up from the bathtub, the child would kick her legs in the water.
After the bath, Jovannie helped to put on Lovette's favorite rabbit pajamas.
As soon as she opened the door, Luke swiftly picked Lovette up and carried her over to the bed. He played with her until she was exhausted and gradually fell asleep.
Every night, the three slept together in the same bed.
However, Lovette always woke up in confusion. She remembered that she slept in between her parents the night before, but the adults always ended up hugging each other the next morning.
At this time, Jovannie was doing her skincare and saw that Luke had coaxed their daughter to sleep.
Luke then walked over and hugged her from behind.
"It smells good. Let me apply it for you."
Jovannie looked at Luke doubtfully. He... wanted to help her apply skincare products?
Naturally, Luke saw the distrust in her eyes and said, "What, you don't believe me?"
Jovannie shook her head and attempted to teach him how to apply the skin care products. Surprisingly, Luke said, "I know how."
"Huh?"
"I've watched you do it sometimes. I remember a few steps."
"Alright then."
Luke asked Jovannie to rest her head on his lap before spláshing some water on her face gently.
When he started to massage her face, Jovannie felt happy and wonderful. On another note, he was too gentle with her.
After Luke applied the skincare products on her face accordingly, she no longer doubted his skills.
She seized the opportunity and praised him, "You're the best, darling!"
Luke smiled smugly.
He thought of showing more of his skills to Jovannie. "You know, I can help you with your makeup tomorrow."
In an instant, Jovannie covered her face.
It was one thing to apply skincare products for her, but she surely didn't want Luke to draw on her face. After all, she had witnessed the faces of the poor dolls at his and his daughter's mercy.
Luke teased Jovannie for a while before stopping when she still rejected his suggestion.
A few years later, Lovette turned four years old, and it was time for her to enroll in a kindergarten.
Lovette was fond of beautiful dresses. Since Luke bought a lot for her, it was a hard time choosing the outfit of the day.
Most of the time, Luke let his daughter decide on her clothes.
Today was Lovett's first day in kindergarten.
Aside from her parents, her uncles and aunt also came to send her to school.
As soon as the child saw Zac, she stared at him for a few seconds before saying, "Uncle Zac."
When he saw Lovette's expression, Zac understood everything and was delighted. Ever since the child learned to recognize people, she kept staring at him.
The first time Lovette called him "Uncle Zac", she had a puzzled expression. It was as if she didn't understand why her father and uncle had the same face.
Sometimes, Zac pretended to be Luke to tease his niece. However, the prank would be exposed after the child stared at him for a few seconds.
Jovannie was curious. How could Lovette distinguish her father and uncle at such a young age? After all, the twins were very similar in terms of figure and face. Jovannie could distinguish the brothers because they gazed at her differently.
It was difficult for a child to tell a twin apart, let alone an adult.
When she asked Lovette about this, the child replied honestly, "Daddy's eyes and scent are different from Uncle Zac's."
The first part about eyes was understandable, but the scent...
She remembered that both Luke and Zac weren't fond of colognes.
Lovette added kindly, "Daddy has Mommy's scent, and Mommy had Daddy's scent."
At first, Jovannie didn't understand at all. When Luke hugged her intimately, she finally realized the meaning and couldn't help blushing.
Lovette also called Gia adorably, making the latter wished that she could hold the child forever.
The moment Gia saw Lovette, she sincerely believed that the child was an angel in disguise.
How she wished she could take the child home and pinch her chubby face every day.
"I miss you so much, Lovette!"
"I miss you too, Aunt Gia."
Gia worked as a reporter and would travel around the world for interviews. She was usually busy, but would always return for Lovette's big occasions.
She also brought back 20 different dolls from one of the countries she visited. The dolls were made of silk and only as big as a fist.
As soon as she saw the gift, Lovette was delighted.
"Thank you very much, Aunt Gia."
"You're welcome, my dear."
On the other hand, Valeria gave Lovette an adorable lantern made out of a pumpkin.
Lovette loved the gift as well.
The group saw the child off at the kindergarten.
At first, Jovannie was worried that Lovette would be scared to be in an unfamiliar environment.
Or, the child was hesitant to part with her parents.
As she looked at her daughter, Jovannie was reluctant. She had never separated from the child for more than a day.
In the past few days, she and her husband had been telling their daughter some fun stories about the kindergarten in hopes that the child wouldn't reject her new school.
Seeing Jovannie's expression, Luke understood her thoughts and caressed her head as a comfort.
In fact, he had never been to a kindergarten, nor did he know if his daughter would be happy there.
He once thought of hiring a private tutor to educate Lovette and inviting some children to entertain her. He admitted that he was reluctant to part with his daughter and worried about strangers.
However, Jovannie explained, "We can never protect Lovette in her whole life. It's impossible to keep her at home forever; she needs some interaction from the outside world. Rather than raising her in a cage, I like to see her live her life normally and happily like other children."
In the end, Luke agreed to let Lovette enroll in a kindergarten that was under the Miller's name. Gia used to go to the same kindergarten with the best education and security measures.
Even so, Luke wouldn't let his precious daughter suffer any grievances. He would definitely stand up for her.
Many parents were also sending their children to kindergarten on the first day.
Jovannie saw that most of the children wailed and refused to part with their crying parents.
Some seemed to be well-behaved, but their expressions were also gloomy.
In contrast, Lovette was full of smiles.
When the child was led into the school by a teacher, Jovannie felt reluctant.
If she were to imagine this scene in the past, she wouldn't think that it was a big deal. But now, she realized that certain things weren't in her control.
As if she had sensed something, Lovette ran back and hugged her mother, who had squatted on the ground.
"I'll wait for Mommy to pick me up."
"Alright... Mommy will come for you."
Lovette hugged Luke as well. "I'll be waiting for Daddy too."
With eyes full of tenderness, Luke replied, "I'll be seeing you soon, Love."
While Luke was hugging Lovette, Jovannie quickly wiped away her tears with her fingers. Otherwise, the child would cry when she saw her mother shed tears.
There was a time when Lovette got sick, Jovannie cried in guilt upon seeing the child's suffering expression.
When she saw the tears in her mother's eyes, Lovette, who hardly cried, started to wail.
From then on, Jovannie never shed a tear in front of her daughter.
Seeing this scene, Gia felt her nose twitch.
Lovette wasn't only Luke's and Jovannie's precious treasure, but she was also the joy and angel of the Miller family.
Then, Jovannie and Luke watched Lovette happily skip into the school.
With that, the siblings bid their goodbyes and went on their separate ways.
After returning home, Jovannie lost all her spirits. All she thought about was her dear Lovette.
Luke suggested going on a date to cheer her up.
Over the past few years, the couple hardly had a date since they often went out with Lovette as a happy family.
