Chapter 562 Just Consider Me Being Unreasonable
As Martha was basking in her "masterpiece", Stefan turned around and stretched out his long armto trap her between the kitchen counter and him, slowly lowering his head. "What... are you doing?" Martha laughed and tried to dodge, but he caught her again. "Trying to run away after doing something bad? It's not that easy," he said as he approached again. She had nowhere else to go and was almost bent at a 45-degree angle. "Stefan..." Martha softly called out his name, causing him to feel a surge of heat in his heart. "Hmm?" He made an unclear nasal sound as a response. "We're in the kitchen." "I know." Stefan glanced at the door before slowly curling up his lips. "There's no one else at home." "But Jimmy is here," she replied. Upon hearing this, Stefan let go of her and walked towards the kitchen door before closing it shut. "And now?" He circled around behind her waist once more while watching her busy herself at thecounter with elegant cutting skills. "Martha..." Stefan kissed her hair while warm breaths sprayed all over it. "Don't tease me... it tickles." Martha couldn't help but squirm slightly when she heard low groanscoming from behind. Her heart tightened as she quickly asked, "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?" Immediately after came a soft chuckle into her ear. "If I'm so easily hurt by you, then wouldn't I betoo fragile?" Martha bit her lip before whispering, "Let me go first." "Don't move, Martha... you know my self-control has always been limited when we're together." Her heart pounded rapidly upon facing such an extraordinary handsome man like Stefan; she hadno resistance whatsoever against him. However, she couldn't appear too straightforward either, so she could only say, "Stop teasing me!Jimmy is waiting outside for dinner!" Martha held back laughter as she attempted to push him away but Stefan refused to let go of hisnovelbin
grip. "Just let me hold you for a little bit longer." Even someone like the CEO of Harrison Group had such childish tendencies... Martha felt helpless. "If you keep this up then, how am I supposed to cook?" Not long after their conversation ended, they heard some noise coming from outside of the kitchendoor. Then, a little guy poked his head and quickly covered his eyes upon seeing their intimacy. "Oh, so Mommy and Daddy are loving each other! Then Jimmy will leave first." He slowly backed out and closed the door; then he poked his head back in shortly after. "But don't forget to make food for Jimmy too, I'm hungry." After speaking, the little guy left. Martha looked at Stefan with annoyance and said, "See? It's all your fault!" But Stefan didn't seem to care. "Research shows that children whose parents are in harmonious relationships live happier lives." Later on, Martha couldn't pay attention to Stefan behind her. Perhaps she was used to it. Ten minutes later, three dishes and one soup were served. "Great! There's stewed chicken!" Jimmy's eyes lit up when he saw stewed chicken. He hadn't eaten his mother's cooking for a while now. The little guy started eating it up. However... As soon as he took a bite of it, Jimmy frowned. He wanted to spit it out but then remembered that both his mother and teacher said that beingfrugal was virtuous while wasting was shameful. So he forced himself to swallow it down before going for some potatoes instead. He felt there was something off with his mommy's cooking. "Jimmy, what's wrong? Aren't you hungry? Eat more," Martha picked up some vegetables and put
them into Jimmy's bowl while smiling brightly at him. Now this made things difficult for him, should he tell the truth or force himself to swallow everything? "Uh... Dad, have you noticed that Mom's cooking doesn't taste like how it used to?" Before Stefan could answer, Martha smiled faintly, asking, "Really?" Having experienced what happened in the day, Jimmy felt like his mommy was somewhat scary,even her smile seemed off right now. So, he didn't dare say "yes", instead burying his head down and continuing eating silently. Stefan looked at Martha, who seemed a bit down, and gently stroked her hair. "Don't think toomuch. Perhaps because Jimmy hasn't had your cooking for some time, he might have forgottenhow it tastes." "Really?" Martha's eyes showed a hint of sadness. After finishing their meal, Martha said, "It's getting late. Jimmy and I should go back now." But just then, a bright light flashed across the sky followed by thunder and heavy rain pouring downfrom the sky. Looking out at the sky outside the house, Martha muttered softly to herself, "What bad luck! We'veencountered this kind of weather." However, Jimmy was very happy because his dad was here with them! "It's raining so hard tonight; just stay here," Stefan suggested with a wink to Jimmy who immediatelyunderstood and ran over to tug on Martha's sleeve while acting cute. "Mama, can we not leave tonight? Jimmy wants to stay with Daddy. Grandpa has Granny'scompany, but Daddy is alone living in such a big house!" Out of sight from Martha's view point, Jimmy gestured an "OK" sign towards Stefan who gave himthumbs up. Before waiting for an answer from Martha, Jimmy grabbed his small backpack and headed upstairs. "That settles it!" After Jimmy left, Stefan walked over to where Martha stood, holding her hand . "Let's go upstairs too," he said softly . "Okay," replied Martha as she allowed him to lead her up the stairs until they reached his room door.
"Martha, tonight..." started Stefan hesitantly "I'm sleeping with Jimmy tonight!" interrupted Martha firmly before turning to escape. However, she couldn't get away fast enough before Stefan caught up with her. "Stefan..." Martha looked at him through watery eyes. Her eyelashes fluttered lightly, making one feel pity forher. "It's okay; we'll sleep together."And so three people squeezed onto the already narrow bed. Martha's heart was pounding uncontrollably as Stefan's warm breath tickled her ear. "You're a rascal..." she protested, but couldn't resist snuggling closer to him as if he had wrappedhis arms around her. "Just pretend I am," he teased, inching closer. She closed her eyes and everything felt so natural, until... Just as their lips were about to meet, the little guy sleeping between them stretched lazily andsmacked his lips together, ruining the moment. "Ahem... it's time for bed!" Martha announced before shutting her eyes. Seeing this situation, Stefan reluctantly gave up for now. But tonight's cold shower was inevitable...
