BXBX NOVEL Chapter 319 Sleeping Arrangements
[I never knew how amazing it is to have dinner in the midst of those you love until today. This is undoubtedly the best dinner of my life]
Amos beamed as he stared at the happy faces before him.
After dinner, Joanna tried to tug Anthony to sleep but he was too excited to fall asleep.
She ended up letting him stay with the two of them in the sitting room when he couldn\'t fall asleep.
Three hours later Anthony longed to continue talking and playing but his body and eyes betrayed him.
He slowly dozed off with his head resting on Amos\' legs.
As they talk Amos pats Anthony\'s hair lovingly.
"Joan, how many kids do you want to have when you get married?" He asked out of the blue.
She was caught off guard by his question but she composed herself. "Not sure," she replied casually.
"What?" He asked with widened eyes.
She frowned when she saw his astounded look, "I am just 18 years old so it\'s normal if such thoughts never crossed my mind but why do you look so surprised?" She asked curiously.
"I wasn\'t even 18 years old when I started mapping out my plans. Although things turned out a bit differently after I became King, my plans are still valid," he explained calmly.
"Living to see another day in the past was like a miracle. I never had the time to think about myself not to talk about my future…,"
"You can start drafting one starting from this moment and I promise I will help you to fulfil them…,"
"Does that include helping me to get married to my dream man hmm" She questioned? His eyes wavered following her question and she saw this.
"Hmmm…," He trailed as he avoided her stares.
How could he shamelessly tell her that he wanted to become that dream man she was talking about?
"I am every woman\'s dream man so I will think about your proposal…,"
"I never said the person I was talking about was you, shameless," Joanna hits his hand. Thank goodness Anthony was fast asleep and didn\'t get disturbed by her action.
Amos smiled without arguing with her.
"Actually, my dream is to have plenty of kids…,"
"Like how many?" She blurted without thinking.
"A dozen will make a good start…,"
"Hey!" She shouted momentarily forgetting that the sleeping Anthony was lying on Amos\' lap.
"Why are you overreacting like you have accepted to be the mother of my kids…,"
"How…,"
"Are you going to stay that you pity the woman who is gonna become my wife?" He cut in realising from her expression that whatever she wanted to say wasn\'t pleasant.
"Boring," She retorted and shifted her gaze from him.
[Does he wants to have so many kids because he is an only child?]
Joanna was in a daze as she thought about Amos\' words.
"If you end up being my wife I won\'t make you suffer any grievances so there is no need to feel scared," Amos mumbled.
The atmosphere went quiet afterwards.
"Let\'s take him to the bedroom so he can sleep comfortably," Joanna suggested seeing how Anthony continuously wiggled on his legs.
"You want him to sleep with you?" His eyes widened as he stared at her.
"Yeah. He always sleeps with me whenever I am around…,"
"That can change now I am around right?" He interrupted. "Let him sleep in the guestroom with me…,"
"He finds it hard to fall asleep without me by his side. He tossed around all night if he doesn\'t cuddle me to sleep…,"
"You are my wife and not his so how dare he tries to take my place when I am still alive? The little boy sure needs a spank for trying to steal my woman in my presence…,"
"What are you mumbling about?" She retorted, seeing that he was in a daze.
"I said how about the three of us sleep together…,"
"What!" She half yelled while crossing her hands on her chest.
"This is not the first neither will it be the last time we will sleep together so why are you acting as if I just asked you to have sex with me…," Joanna rushed and covered his mouth.
She did this swiftly and gently so that she doesn\'t wake up Anthony.
"He is still a little boy so watch what you are saying…,"
He brushed her hand off his mouth, "He is fast asleep so you don\'t have to use him as an excuse anymore".
"Also, if you don\'t want me to practicalised what you are imagining about me then try not to make it so obvious because I can\'t promise I won\'t lose my self-control if you keep seducing me," He said sternly. He stood up with Anthony in his arms.
"W-what…,"
"I will take that as your response for us to sleep together," He strolled to the bedroom without waiting for her.
Because of Anthony Joanna had to swallow back whatever she wanted to say.
Inside the bedroom, Amos tried to place Anthony at the edge of the bed but Joanna, who had guessed what was on his mind, insisted that Anthony must sleep in the middle.
"I have missed cuddling you to sleep and I am sure you feel the same way so why are you pretending?" Amos grumbled but Joanna lying beside Anthony acted as though she didn\'t hear his complaints or see the deep frown on his face.
"If you are not satisfied with the arrangements you can make use of the guestroom…,"
"You wish!" He scoffed and lay down on the bed.
After laying down he removed his cell phone from his trouser\'s pockets and started going through all the pending emails that required his urgent attention.
As he did this Joanna who was coaxing Anthony to sleep kept on stealing glances at his handsome face.
[He has a devilish side to him while he is serious. Too bad I never got to really see this side of him because all he has ever tried to show me was his cheerful side…]
Joanna was lost in thought as she gazed at the face of the man scrolling through his phone.
