Martha, empty-handed, stood looking at Brian with a lot of emotions in her heart.

She and Simon came to work in this villa at the same time, Simon is the housekeeper, she is responsible for some of Brian's daily chores, because Brian has a cleanliness fetish, she also has to scrutinize the hygiene of the house from time to time.

Despite this, Martha and Brian still only had some irrelevant exchanges in their daily lives.

It wasn't that she didn't want to talk to Brian, but Brian was too busy and his nature was too cold.

Brian went out on time every day and came back late at night, as long as she and Simon arranged everything in the house properly, he definitely didn't say much of anything and went to the study to continue dealing with things after dinner.

Martha wondered for a moment if Brian's life was only about work.

How is he going to find a good girl to marry and start his own family if he keeps going like this?

Martha has been secretly worried for years, and two years ago, Joanne finally lived in this home in the name of Brian's wife.

From the time Joanne moved over, Brian's home time became earlier.

In the beginning, although Brian and Joanne slept in separate rooms, it was not so bad that there was no communication between the two people at all.

Then, Martha realized that she could see a smile on Brian's face.

Brian's daily routine started to change from that time.

He no longer followed a schedule to get through the day, Joanne would occasionally disrupt his plans, but he wasn't angry.

Brian finally had obvious likes and dislikes.

He no longer spends his days taut and cold with a clearly good-looking face, as if he's ready to respond to some great crisis at any moment.

After Aiden and Romy were born, Brian underwent an even greater change.

The innate coldness in him felt like it had been smoothed out by something, and he no longer looked like he was shutting people out.

He was still imposing, but he had feelings and warmth like every normal person.

Just like now, he could sacrifice his sleep to hold his daughter, pulling out all the care and gentleness to coax her, and not only was there not a trace of impatience on his face, but it was overflowing with a kind of doting gentleness.

If it were two years ago now, Martha wouldn't even dare to imagine such a picture.

With a father like Brian, the two little ones, Aiden and Romy, will definitely be very happy in their path of growth.

Romy babbled until after four in the morning before she tilted her head and fell asleep in Brian's arms.

Martha had already woken up from her nap, and when she saw that Brian was placing Romy into the crib, she hurried over and said, "Mr. Lambert, go back to your room and go to sleep, I'll take care of the rest."

"It's okay, I'll do it."

Brian still meticulously helped Romy cover the quilt before returning to his room.

The night outside the window was not so thick anymore, and the dawn had the power to break through the horizon at any moment and blossom across the land with abandon.

A new day is fast approaching.

Joanne was oblivious to all this and slept extraordinarily sweetly.

Brian didn't wake Joanne, lying down without moving like when he woke up, and re-embracing Joanne in his arms.

Joanne seemed to be feeling Brian's breath, pursed her cherry-pink lips, drilled a little into his arms, her whole body leaning against her, her pretty little face a calm and reassuring.

This is probably the subconscious dependence that ... emanates from.

Brian looked at Joanne for a while, the corner of his lips rose in a satisfied arc, closed his eyes, and not long after, he also fell asleep.

A little over two hours later, it was after seven.

Joanne opened her eyes and unexpectedly realized that Brian was still sleeping heavily, with absolutely no sign of waking up.

In the past, he would have woken up by this time!

Joanne tried to get up quietly, and still didn't wake Brian up.

If it were usual, if her movements were even lighter, Brian would have noticed and opened his eyes to fish her back under the covers to bully her a bit.

Only today, he was surprised to find nothing.

Joanne mulled it over, and only one possibility came to mind--

There's been a lot going on lately, and Brian is too tired.

She decided to give him a treat!

Joanne briskly slipped on her slippers, washed up and changed her clothes, and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

She moved very quickly, and in less than half an hour, she prepared a hearty breakfast and walked out of the kitchen, but she only saw Linda, or did not see Brian.

She let out a breath and asked Martha to go up and call Brian.

Martha didn t immediately do as she was told, but instead hesitated and said, "Ma'am, how about ... letting Mr. Lambert sleep a little longer?"

Joanne looked at the time, "But ..." Brian will be late for work if he doesn't get up.

Joanne only said two words before reacting that something was wrong.

Martha has been in this home for a long time and is more familiar with Brian's work and rest habits than she is.

Brian not waking up at this time is a very rare thing, Martha should feel strange ah, why would she in turn advise her to let Brian sleep a little more?

Joanne looked at Martha strangely and asked tentatively, "Martha, am I missing something I should know?"

"It's not that serious." Martha waved her hand and told Joanne one by one, "Yesterday at three o'clock or so, Romy suddenly woke up, Sister-in-law Wu and I couldn't manage it, so we had to go and knock on the door of your room, and Mr. Lambert woke up, and stayed with Romy until five o'clock before going back to sleep again."

Brian not only woke up once last night, but also left the room for two hours in the middle?

Joanne's brain went blank, the whole person was confused,"How come I don't know anything?"

Martha smiled and explained, ''I heard Sister-in-law Wu say that it was Mr. Lambert who signaled not to wake you up. When I got up early this morning, Sister Wu even said that she envied you too much. Actually, I also feel ..."

"..."

Joanne looked in the direction of the second floor-

She could no longer hear what Martha said next.

She suddenly remembered that after Aiden and Romy were born, Brian would wake up late from time to time.

She had always thought that it was because there were too many things going on during this period of time and Brian was too tired.

Until today, she didn't realize that many nights, she was carefully cared for by Brian, so she could wind up sleeping peacefully for a night.

The storm that the two little ones made in the middle of the night was all blocked by Brian.

Not to mention others, she was starting to envy herself.

Joanne's heart suddenly surged with a wave of something, she took off her apron and handed it to Linda, and regardless of this, she ran up the stairs and back to her room.

Brian was indeed still sleeping.

It should be fun to wake him up at a time like this.

Joanne ran over and got down on the side of the bed, gently sweeping the tips of her hair over the tip of Brian's nose.

It's a sensation that's supposed to tickle, and the deadliest part is that you can feel it just as much even when you're asleep.

Brian really frowned and turned his face away from Joanne's harassment.

Joanne where will be willing to give up, climbed up | bed to repeat the same trick, and swept Brian.

This time, Brian's brows knit deeper, abruptly opening his eyes-

Joanne didn't expect Brian to wake up so quickly and was startled.

But she also reacted quickly, "Bark-" and kissed Brian on the lips, smiling like a flower as she looked at him, "Good morning."

Brian had just woken up and his vision was not particularly clear.

In the haze, he saw Joanne's smiling face and the morning light that caressed her soft contours.

Joanne in the morning light, bright and beautiful, as if a gentle luminous body.

Brian's newly awakened heart, stupid | want | move.

Joanne saw Brian did not react, bent down close to him,"What's the matter, are you still very sleepy?"

The scent of her body drilled into Brian's airway, fragrant and charming.

Brian's last self-control collapsed at this moment.

He narrowed his eyes, grabbed Joanne's shoulders, rolled over on one side and pressed against her, saying, "Not sleepy."

"Well!" Joanne blinked her eyes in an innocent manner, "You'll get up when you're not sleepy!"

Brian pressed Joanne's shoulder not lightly, a thought-provoking smile on his lips, "Joanne, I don't want to get up right now."

Joanne looked at Brian curiously, "Then what do you want to do?"

"..." The danger in the bottom of Brian's eyes added one more point, staring at Joanne like a wolf, asking in a low voice, "Did you do it on purpose?"

"Huh?" Joanne continued to play dumb, "What?"

Brian has always been very good at dealing with Su Jian installing stupidity.

He stopped talking nonsense and directly kissed Joanne's lips.

Joanne struggled for a moment, but soon realized that how she struggled was futile and could only obediently allow Brian to fish and meat.

Brian originally just wanted to scare Joanne, not realizing that he was not willing to be shallow at all, he was slow to let go of Joanne, and could only slow down the pace of plundering.

Joanne waited for a long time and finally found a chance to speak out and said, "Martha told me everything."

Brian stopped and looked at Joanne,"What did Martha tell you?"

"The matter of you getting up last night to accompany Romy." Joanne grabbed Brian's arm, "Why didn't you tell me to get up?" Brian still has to go to the company today, the one who should have a good rest is obviously him.

Brian knew what Joanne was thinking, smiled, and said lightly, "I'm at the company all day, and I only have time to accompany Aiden and Romy in the evening, are you sure you still want to compete with me?"

"..." Joanne poked Brian without any good humor, "You know I don't mean that!" After a pause, she still asked directly, "Aren't you very tired like this?"

Brian pointed to the wall clock in the room, "So I slept an extra forty minutes."

"... "Joanne was speechless, sat up and said, "Well, I prepared breakfast, you change your clothes and go down for breakfast!"

Brian stared deeply at Joanne and whispered, "I want to eat you even more now."

After hearing such words more often, Joanne also became calm, signaling Brian with her gaze to be calm and said, "Don't be in a hurry, the time is not ripe yet."
