Mitchel was at a loss for words. “It's a mosquito bite," he claimed in a deep tone, yet Raegan detected a hint of tease in his voice.

Janey's eyes widened as she exclaimed, "Daddy, I've never seen such a big mosquito!"

“You should have seen it."

“But why did it bite you so fiercely?" Janey asked.

With a slight smile, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Because the mosquito was too hungry to resist."

A moment of silence followed.

Raegan's face suddenly turned red! What was he implying! After five years of staying away, he wasn't the only one going crazy. They had shared moments of happiness. Even though Raegan's mind was foggy at first, it nearly went wild once it fully developed.

Raegan could still recall his raspy voice from the morning. “If it gets too much... Just bite me... It's okay... Don't bite yourself..."

He had actually said that!

Janey suggested, “Daddy, maybe feed the mosquito beforehand so it won't bite as hard."

Mitchel chuckled, thinking it was a clever idea. But it was clear as day Raegan was anything but grateful! He responded casually, "Alright, I got it."

Raegan couldn't stand it anymore. She coughed and said, "Janey, have some porridge."

Raegan then gave Mitchel a stern look. She cursed him silently.

Mitchel picked up a bowl of the porridge, stirred it, and fed it to Janey. “Janey, if you eat well, mosquitoes won't bite you."

Raegan found herself at a loss for words. Mitchel must have said those words deliberately!

Throughout the meal, Janey's lively banter filled the room, with Raegan occasionally responding.

Mitchel was good at taking care of kids. Janey often refused to eat and needed to be coaxed. Yet, today, she ate more than she typically would.

It looked like Mitchel was truly cut out to be a caring dad.

The thought crossed Raegan's mind, but she immediately dismissed it.

She couldn't afford to entertain such a dangerous thought.
