Chapter - 244

Every inch of the room screamed romance.

Zeke couldn’t keep his calm as he paced back and forth. It was finally time for him to lose his virginity.

There was no way he could keep his cool.

Finally, after hours of painful waiting, the doorbell rang.

Zeke quickly answered the door. It was Lacey whose face was as red as a ripe apple.

Zeke couldn’t hold it in any longer and pulled Lacey into his arms. “You’re gorgeous.”

“Stop… The kid’s here,” Lacey replied embarrassedly.

Kid? What kid?

Zeke looked around and realized Sharon was hiding behind Lacey with a stick of jelly ice-cream in her mouth.

“Daddy, I found you. You lost!” Sharon sputtered.

“Wow! Sharon, you’re really good at hide-and-seek! Daddy isn’t even your opponent!” Lacey smiled as she patted Sharon’s head.

Zeke instantly frowned after that.

Liar! Women are all liars!

Lacey then extended her hand and touched Zeke’s forehead. “Hey, don’t frown. It’ll make you look old. Don’t tell me you’re actually angry?”

“Shouldn’t I be?” Zeke asked back.

“I didn’t have a choice,” Lacey chuckled. “Mom and Dad have to take care of the memorial ceremony. They don’t have the time to take care of Sharon.”

“Really?”

“Of course. You can ask them if you want.”

That managed to calm Zeke down.

Lacey looked at Zeke and finally gave in. “Fine. I’II.. I’ll let you hug me when we sleep tonight.”

Lacey immediately blushed after saying that.

Zeke’s lips formed a smile after hearing that. “You better keep your promise this time.”

“Yeah…”

Midnight arrived. Zeke and Lacey sat on the couch watching a movie while Sharon fell asleep in Lacey’s arms. The little girl mumbled, looking for her mother from time to time.

Zeke turned off the TV. “Come on, let’s tuck Sharon into bed.”

Lacey nodded. She carried Sharon into the bedroom and placed her in the middle of the bed.

But Zeke gently moved Sharon to the side. “She’s not a little kid anymore. She doesn’t need to sleep in the middle.”

Lacey realized the reason for Zeke’s action and flushed.

She went into the bathroom and changed into her pyjamas before taking off her slippers and climbing onto the bed.

Her pajamas plastered out Lacey’s perfect figure as her long and silky hair fell naturally on her shoulder.

It was as if she was a delicious meal waiting for Zeke to indulge.

Zeke’s heart raced as he took off his top.

Ah!

Lacey couldn’t help but gasp at the scars that covered most of Zeke’s body. Some of them looked like bullet scars.

Lacey quickly got off the bed and touched the scars on Zeke’s body as tears filled her eyes.

“Zeke… What did go through in the past?”

Zeke pulled Lacey into his arms and smiled. “Nothing much. I was just protecting my family.”

A family that consisted of a billion and four hundred million people.

They both laid down on the bed. Lacey cowered up inside Zeke’s arms as if she was a little kitten.

Tears soon wetted Zeke’s chest.

“Zeke, promise me you won’t do anything stupid, okay?”

“Alright. I promise you.”

Lacey hugged Zeke even tighter. “I don’t know how I would live if you’re gone…”

“Don’t worry. I’ll never leave you,” Zeke promised.
