Bringing the Nation's Husband Home III

Extra Chapter

Even as the days goes by, I will still only want you

Time trickles by and, just like that, eight years had flown past. Both Albert and Rebecca were at the age for elementary school.

Mid-Autumn festival fell on the day before first of September. Together, everyone gathered at Davis family house. Alexander and Isabelle had brought Albert, James and Helen had brought Rebecca, while Jake and Sophia came by themselves.

Even though there were past feuds with Mrs. Williams, and Alexander and Isabelle and Mrs. Davis had publicly broken ties with her, it was, after all, just one person's misdoings. And since the Davis parents had seen James since he was young, that hatred wasn't brought over to him.

There was only two kids among the group of adults so everyone couldn't help pampering them. James only got to know of his daughter when she was two and a half years old, so he couldn't help showering her with all the love he could give, but somehow his love was still not as great as that of Jake and Sophia who were still childless.

Together as a big family, they celebrated Mid-Autumn festival harmoniously. When it was 8 pm, the two kids were exhausted from a whole day of play. One of them fell asleep in Jake's arms while the other curled up in Sophia's embrace.

Mrs. Davis specifically prepared a room for the both of them.

Both Alexander and James had wanted to carry their children up to sleep, but that task was snatched by Jake and Sophia.

Sophia placed Albert down before heading to the bathroom to get a wet towel. When she was out, Jake was lying on the bedside, staring at the two little kids, his gaze tender and filled with love. Unknowingly, there was also a hint of envy etched onto his face.

Sophia stood by the door for a long while. It was only when Isabelle came in that Jake finally snapped out of his daze. Sophia smiled brightly, bringing the wet towel over to the bed to wipe their tiny faces.

When the three of them came down, Mrs. Davis was hugging Helen's arm, gossiping about the latest entertainment news.

In the past, Mrs. Davis had no interest in the entertainment industry, but ever since Sophia married Jake, she started to chase after idols as if she was one of the teenage girls.

In the end, their gossip ended with one of the directors. Mrs. Davis curiously asked if he really had seven children.

Helen nodded.

At that moment, Sophia who was walking down heard her mother say, "It's a blessing to be able to have so many children, even if it can be expensive."

Helen always had a high IQ, knowing that Sophia was impotent, she quickly diverted the conversation.

Sophia knew of her intentions, so she pretended as though she hadn't heard anything. 

The atmosphere remained harmonious all the way till 12 pm when the three couples left the Davis house.

On the way home, Jake received a call, it seemed to be from a good friend from his university. He invited him to a celebration as his wife had just born him a pair of twins.

Jake gave his blessings and promised to be there before hanging up.

Sophia was about to doze off at that moment but the conversation left her wide awake.

Eight years ago, when Sophia had protected Isabelle from a stab, she lost her chance at being a mother.

Almost... That one word from the doctor shone a glimpse of light into her despair, even if the possibility was slight, she never once gave up.
