Imperfect D_e_s_i_r_es - Chapter 971

Xiu was so tired today that when she went to bed, she had to force her eyes to stay open. She crawled her way towards Darren who came to lie down on the bed and placed her head on his c_h_e_s_t as she closed her eyes to sleep.

Darren pushed her hair back as he asked, “Tired?”​​

“Very,” she answered in a small voice.

“Rowan went to sleep?”

“He is also really sleepy,” told Xiu and pointed towards the small bed in the room. “See, he went to sleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.”

“Why did he close the curtains?”

Xiu snorted, “Even though he repeatedly says he is a baby but he argued with me that a baby also needs privacy. So he’ll be closing the curtains before sleeping.”

Darren chuckled at his son’s antics and asked, “Then why doesn’t he just move to his own room?”

“As I just said, he is a baby who can’t sleep alone!”

Just thinking about it gave her a headache. Clearly, Rowan was quite independent. He wasn’t scared of anything. At least, she had never seen him scared of anything. But this little baby still insisted on sleeping in the same room as his parents. But he will not sleep on the same bed as his parents because he is old enough for that. However, he isn’t old enough to move out!

What kind of logic was that?

Even the queen of nonsense logic, Xiu, couldn’t understand that.

But anyway, as long as it made her son happy.

“He is growing too fast,” said Xiu as she sat up and forgot all about sleeping. “I feel like pulling him back. Can’t he slow down?”

Darren smiled fondly at her as he sat up and leaned against the headboard before pulling her back into his arms. “You can’t pull him back.”

“I know,” answered Xiu. “But I feel like it would be soon time for him to say goodbye to us and move out of the house.”

“Isn’t that better?” questioned Darren. His arms tightened around her, “Then I’ll have my Sweets all to myself all over again.”

“Stop trying to coax me,” said Xiu. “Clearly, you can’t live without him either.”

“But we can’t be the selfish parents as well,” said Darren. “Let time take its course. He is still too young. We have a few years. Let’s just enjoy it. Don’t you believe in living in the moment. Since when did you start worrying about the future?”

“Since I had a son,” answered Xiu tiredly. “I feel like I have become a nagging mom.”

“But you don’t nag him,” Darren pointed out. He had at least never seen it.

“I don’t?” Xiu thought about it and nodded, “Yeah, I really don’t nag. Then how come I feel like one?”

Darren laughed out, “Because you’re used to feeling all sorts of things.”

“That’s also a point,” agreed Xiu. “By the way, let me tell you something. I feel like Asteria and Ava are turning into bro-cons. They are definitely on the road of getting brother complex.”

Darren soothed her as he told her, “Sweets, it’s already too late. They have already gotten the brother complex.”

“You think?”

“It’s way too obvious from the way they hang around Rowan,” said Darren. “Also, Jackie is no better. Although he tries to hide it, I can clearly see how his attention is always on Rowan.”

“Well, half of his attention is always on Asteria though,” Xiu couldn’t help saying.

Darren had to nod along. Indeed, he had noticed that as well.

“He even gave the red pouch he picked to her,” told Darren.

“Did you see it?”

“I did. That’s why I’m letting you know,” said Darren.

Xiu smiled strangely, “My brother really knows how to court. At least, one of my brothers is good at it.”

“Other three will feel bad,” reminded Darren.

“So what? Did I lie? Do I need to remind you how Li bro has ended up with his courting? And let’s not even talk about Ah-Si. Even the reminder of that makes me want to pull out my baseball bat all over again. As for Xiao Bobo, he succeeds through pure shamelessness. That means I have taught him well.”

Darren continued to listen to her chattering. The way she even took credit for Han Bohai’s successful courting was so like her. But it was so pleasing in his eyes. All of this made his Sweets who she was. How can he not like that?

He was still the fool for her!

It didn’t change and he wasn’t willing to bring any change either!

“Baobei, say something.”

“Hm?” reacted Darren. “I was just listening to you.”

“Don’t always just listen to me. You’ll get bored and soon become one of those husbands who say their wives talk too much,” said Xiu unhappily.

“Nah! I still think my Sweets doesn’t talk much.”

“Then there is something wrong with your brain,” said Xiu seriously.

“Oh? Really? No wonder I fell for you.”

“What did you say?”

Darren kissed her ear and made a trail down to her neck and ended on her shoulder as he whispered, “I said I love you!”

Xiu smiled sweetly as she replied, “Okay fine. I love you too.”

“That’s it?”

“What else do you want?”

Darren gave her a pitiful look, “Where is my reward?”

“Don’t get ahead of yourself. One, I’m tired today. Two, Rowan is here.”

Darren sighed out, “My Sweets is bored of me now.”

“What nonsense!” reacted Xiu. “I still love my Baobei. And I especially love playing with him. On the bed! Under the sheets!” She even ran her hand over his c_h_e_s_t in a sensual manner as her voice got lower and lower.

Darren smiled brightly at her word and received a kiss on his cheek, “Go to sleep now. I’m done talking.” She added and left him hanging.

As she lied back down, Darren touched the place she just kissed. He could never get bored of a wife like her. She always had something up her sleeve. And she even knew how to tease him even though they had been married for so long now. Yet, he always fell for it.
