Chapter 406
Julian hugged her tighter, his voice low and teasing. “The kids are already three, Sienna. How about we go abroad for a honeymoon, just the two of us?”
Sienna shook her head. “I don’t want to go. I’m happy with how things are now.”
Julian turned her around and kissed her hard. This was the thirty-fourth time he’d brought it up, and she still refused. Sienna had no choice but to put up with it. Ever since they’d had kids, Julian had become even more possessive, always making bizarre requests.
“Don’t…” Sienna protested.
Feeling his hand sliding under her clothes, Sienna tried to push him away. Julian pinned her down on the bed, a dangerous glint in his eyes as he buried his head in her chest. Just as Sienna was about to kick him off, Julian’s deep voice suddenly sounded.
There was a hint of panic and unwillingness in his tone. “A few days ago, Thorn Noir took off all his clothes in front of you, and you just stood there watching him for ten minutes. Before Sienna could explain, Julian continued, “A month ago, Wayne Sinclair asked you out to dinner, and you didn’t even turn him down. You didn’t come home until ten.”
Sienna uttered, “T…”
But Julian just continued, “Three months ago, when we were at the beach, Thorn Noir hugged you, and you didn’t even hit him!” He didn’t stop there. “Six months ago, Thorn Noir…”
Seeing he was about to go on, Sienna hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him. “Hubby, don’t be mad, okay? I’m just friends with them, I swear.”
Julian’s eyes turned red, his breathing heavy as he looked at her with a pitiful, aggrieved expression. Suddenly, he rolled over and sat up, his tone full of grievance and complaint. “I’m not even your husband! We don’t have a marriage certificate or anything!” he huffed. He went on, “And Wayne Sinclair said you once promised you’d marry him!” “Thorn Noir told Renee he’s going to have a baby with you, and you even let him move in with us!” Julian was fuming. He couldn’t stop complaining. “Also, you even ate the cake Wayne Sinclair gave you!”
Sienna was speechless. ‘Ugh, can you just stop already?’ she thought to herself. She hugged him gently and coaxed, “Let me finish up my work first, then I’ll go on a honeymoon with you, okay?”
Julian cupped her face and kissed her deeply, pushing her down onto the bed. “You always say that just to fool me. You told me the exact same thing a year ago,” he grumbled.
Clothes started flying off piece by piece, and Sienna could barely keep up. Ever since Julian got a vasectomy, he really had no self-control any longer. He always went as deep as he could, never holding back. Sienna bit down on his shoulder, and Julian let out a muffled groan as he thrust into her.
Meanwhile, at the door, Renee stood in her princess dress, clutching her doll, completely dazed. Just as she was about to knock, Vivian quickly scooped her up.
“Renee, how about I braid your hair for you?” Vivian said. Vivian felt a wave of relief—she’d almost let Renee knock on the door. Renee glanced curiously toward her parents’ room. She could’ve sworn she just heard Sienna crying—it sounded just like those strange sounds she often heard at night.
“Aunt Vivian, I want to play with Mom,” Renee tugged at Vivian’s sleeve, her eyes full of longing.
Vivian patiently explained, “Sorry, sweetie, you can’t right now. Your mom is sleeping. She works so hard every day, so let’s let her get some good rest, alright?”
“Okay…” Renee mumbled, her lips pouting in disappointment. Even at such a young age, Renee had inherited all the best features from Sienna and Julian—she was so cute and pretty it was honestly beyond words.
“Renee!” Thorn called out. As soon as Renee heard his voice, she whipped her head around. The moment she saw Thorn, her whole face lit up with a dazzling smile. “Uncle Thorn!!”
Renee wriggled and flailed her arms and legs, eager to get down. Vivian set her on the floor, and Renee dashed over to Thorn, bouncing with excitement. “Uncle Thorn, did you catch my little butterfly?”
Thorn scooped her up. “I did! I will take you to see it right now!”
Renee’s face beamed with joy. “Yay!” Renee’s eyes lit up as she saw the colorful butterfly. She clapped her hands, beaming. “Uncle Thorn, it’s so pretty!”
“Then take a good look while you can,” Thorn chuckled.
Renee asked with innocent curiosity, “Uncle Thorn, when will I get a baby sister from you and Mom? I want someone to play with. My big brothers are just the worst.”
Thorn grinned, ruffling her hair. “Don’t worry, you’ll get one someday.” He wondered, I’ve been trying to steal her away for years—what’s a little more waiting? Julian doesn’t even have any real status. At best, he’s just a fling. Girls always get tired of the same old thing, especially when it’s someone as boring and uptight as Julian. Sooner or later, she’ll want something fresh—like me.
“They’re never going to have a baby sister,” a childish voice suddenly chimed in. It was Matthew. Dressed in a little black shirt, with those gentle eyes that looked exactly like Julian’s, he was basically a mini version of his dad.
“Matthew, why is that?” Renee asked, tilting her head in confusion.
Matthew put on a serious face and explained, “Because only Mom and Dad can give you a baby sister. Mom and Uncle Thorn just can’t.”
Thorn couldn’t be bothered to argue with this little brat.
“Uncle Thorn, is that true? You and Mom really can’t give me a baby sister?” Renee asked, her big eyes full of worry.
Thorn gently patted her cheek. “Just focus on playing with your butterfly, okay?”
With that, he walked away, thinking to himself, “We can’t? We’ll see about that.” Thorn gave a wicked little grin. We’ve got a lifetime ahead of us—who knows what could happen? Nothing lasts forever, after all. I’ll get my shot sooner or later. Just wait and see!
