After dinner, Little Melon and Xia Meilin went to the living room. Little Melon was drawing while Xia Meilin was writing a new piece in her iPad.
Lu Yifeng didn't join them there since he was having a video call conference in his office.
Looking at the clock, Xia Meilin realized that it was almost time for Little Melon to go to sleep.
"Xiao Gua, do you want to sleep with mommy and daddy tonight?"
"Mello will not sleep with momma and dada tonight so that momma and dada can make baby sister. Dada said baby sister cannot be made if Mello will sleep with momma and dada," Little Melon said with a serious face.
Because of Little Melon's statement, Xia Meilin felt her head start aching. Lu Yifeng was definitely tricking their son into it!
When Mo Jing entered the living room, Little Melon stood up and went to her. He grabbed her long skirt. "Let's go, auntie Mo Jing. Mello's sleepy."
Xia Meilin watched them leave the living room. She sighed in defeat. She stood up and followed them. She wanted to talk to Mo Jing but because of Little Melon's presence, she decided to talk it with her another time.
Xia Meilin watched Little Melon lie down on his bed while Mo Jing picked a book to read for him.
"Let me do it," Xia Meilin said with a smile as she entered the room.
Mo Jing smiled back at her and nodded. She handed her the picture book and left the two in the room.
Xia Meilin went and sat beside Little Melon. The little boy snuggled close to his mother. "Momma..."
She smiled and gently stroked her son's hair before she turned to the book. "Puss in boots and the three diablos."
Little Melon's eyes sparkled as he saw the adorable cats on the front cover. "Cats!"
"Yes, cats." She chuckled. She opened the book and started reading the story for him.
Little Melon was quietly listening and looking at the pictures of the books while he was hugging his mother. Whenever it was time for his story time, he would always become quiet so that he could listen carefully to the story that was being told.
"And then, Puss in boots said: 'Gracias my little friends for you have shown me that there is glory and sometimes gold in doing the right thing.' They may have gone in their separate ways but the three little kittens will never forget what Puss in boots has taught them. The end." Xia Meilin closed the book and turned to Little Melon.
She could see that Little Melon was trying to keep himself awake until the end of the story.
Xia Meilin smiled at when she saw that. She fixed the blanket on him before she placed a soft kiss on his forehead. "Go to sleep, love."
