The astute and promising young man stroked his chin, contemplating whether it was time for Kiana to sleep on her own. With the green light glowing ahead, Marcus pressed on the accelerator.

Twenty minutes later, the car pulled into the villa.

Marcus unclasped his seat belt and leaned forward to open the door for Melissa.

Over the past two years, their marriage had thrived, with Marcus proving himself exceptionally considerate. Melissa dedicated herself to caring for their two children at home. Marcus rarely engaged in social activities and maintained moderation at gatherings he couldn't avoid.

He frequently tended to Matthew after work, and Kiana was equally attached to Marcus.

Melissa had anticipated happiness before their marriage, but she hadn't dared to imagine it would be this blissful.

As Marcus opened the car door for Melissa, she turned to him without a word, her hand gently brushing his arm. In that instant, his eyes widened.

His voice lowered as he murmured, "Kiana just said that I love you the most."

Melissa responded softly, "You love Kiana the most. Matthew sometimes feels jealous of her."

“Are you feeling jealous?"

In the dimness, Marcus' eyes gleamed with depth and clarity. Despite being married to him for two years, Melissa still found herself unable to resist their allure. She whispered, "Kiana is still in the car. You'd better control yourself."

Marcus chuckled. "I'll have to teach you a lesson tonight."

They had always been in sync sexually. Melissa couldn't help but blush at his implication.

As Melissa got out of the car, Marcus had already lifted Kiana from her seat.

Wearing a floral dress, Kiana appeared adorable as she snuggled in Marcus' embrace, clutching her half piece of bread. Crumbs scattered on Marcus, but he paid no mind.

The villa was brightly Lit.

Meanwhile, first-grader Matthew diligently tackled his homework.

Minnie sat nearby, clearly bored.

Julie had now resided with her son and daughter-in-law. Over the past two years, Shawn had earnestly turned over a new leaf and won Janet back, excelling in his career and eventually relocating with his family and mother.

It was now Elsie who took care of Matthew.
