With that, Selena’s petite face and ears were entirely flushed. She knew very well Kylie asked purely out of innocence, which made it much harder to answer her.
She was even more startled when Fane smiled and replied, "Alright, alright, don't you worry. I promise you'll have a younger sister or brother. Mom and Dad will have a few babies so you’ll have a few siblings to play with."
Selena was so embarrassed that she pinched Fane's back.
"Ah!" Fane's yelp escaped him by reflex, but he quickly added, "The night is so beautiful."
The family of three quickly arrived home. Kylie was fast asleep in bed when Fane came out of the shower.
Fane returned to his mattress and got ready to hit the sack.
Just as he was getting ready, Selena turned around from the bed and looked at him. "Honey... Why don't you sleep on the bed tonight? Consider it your reward for performing well as a father and a husband." Selena blushed as she finished speaking.
Fane squatted happily on the floor as he heard that. Softly, he whispered, "Honey, have you...been considering to give Kylie a sibling she asked for?
Great! Me too!"
Selena rolled her eyes at Fane. "Pfft! What are you talking about? I pity you for sleeping on the floor, so I'll let you sleep on the bed tonight. Kylie won't know about this as she's fast asleep."
They had no physical contact for five years after that. One could say she was as pure as a dove.
"Honey, so you were saying... We can't do that because
Kylie doesn't have her own room? We should go buy a house then-a big villa," Fane suggested after giving it a thought. "That way, we can fit the whole family and Kylie can have her own room, and we can-"
"Pervert!" Selena stared at him, then said, "Actually... I don’t feel comfortable staying with Taylor's because I'll have to see that bastard, Ivan, every day there. It's a bummer. At the same time, I do wish to see Grandpa inviting us to stay with them, because that'll mean that they've recognized you as a family.”
"So you don't feel comfortable staying with the Taylor family? That's an easy problem to solve! We can buy a villa, it's not that expensive!" Fane proposed. "And we don't have to wait until Grandpa invites us to stay with them; I can just fulfill those two promises they asked for. By then, it doesn’t matter if they want us to stay with them. The decision will be in our hands." "That's true!"
