CHAPTER 686: CHAPTER 686: MOMMY AND DADDY SLEEP TOGETHER~

Stella quickly stopped crying, her big watery eyes looking at Hayden Crawford, "Really, handsome uncle, can I see my mommy?"

"Of course it’s true. Uncle will take you there now." Hayden Crawford held Stella’s small hand and led her out.

As the father and daughter left, Pip came to the balcony of the room. He looked down with his little head and saw that Mommy was still standing there.

Pip’s Mommy, I can only help you this far. Daddy has already taken Mimi down to greet you personally. The rest of the journey is up to you.

...

Outside the villa, Serena took out her phone, wanting to call Hayden Crawford.

But at that moment, there was a creak as the villa door suddenly opened. The brightly lit interior immediately shone out, and as Serena looked up, Hayden Crawford and Stella’s tall and small figures had already entered her view.

"Mommy~" Stella immediately flew towards Serena.

Serena extended her slender arms and caught Stella, lifting her up. She kissed Stella’s little cheeks forcefully, "Stella, did you miss Mommy? Mommy missed you so much."

Stella happily hugged Serena’s neck and also kissed her mommy’s face, giggling, "Of course, Stella misses Mommy every day. Stella even cried because she missed Mommy earlier~"

Seeing Stella’s indeed red-rimmed eyes, as if she had cried before, Serena’s heart ached, and she kissed Stella a few more times for comfort.

Stella giggled in her mommy’s arms.

Watching this mother-daughter duo, no matter how angry Hayden was with Serena, seeing them softened him completely.

At this moment, Serena looked up with her clear eyes at Hayden Crawford, "What about Pip, Mr. Crawford? Please bring Pip out. I want to take both kids home."

Serena was also a bit angry. He had taken the two kids away without a word. Did he know how anxious that made her as a mommy?

He even deliberately didn’t see her earlier, making her wait outside the door. Truly wicked.

Hayden Crawford pressed his thin lips together, his sharp, eagle-like eyes glanced at Serena, "Home? Which home? Isn’t my place Pip and Stella’s home?"

Serena’s long lashes suddenly trembled. What did he mean by this? Could it be... he already knew about Pip and Stella’s background?

Seeing her shocked expression, Hayden Crawford sneered, curling his thin lips, "Serena, you’re such a liar. How long do you intend to deceive me?"

Serena’s pupils contracted. She knew he really had found out about Pip and Stella’s background.

Actually, she hadn’t planned on hiding it from him. She always wanted to find a time to tell him. She didn’t expect him to find out on his own.

Just then, Hayden Crawford looked at Stella softly, "Stella, how about you sleep here with Uncle tonight?"

Stella quickly looked at Serena for permission, "Mommy, can we sleep here with Uncle tonight? Uncle treats me and brother very well. Uncle really likes us."

Stella was still thinking about making Hayden Crawford her daddy. Now that Mommy was here, she, as the little matchmaker, of course, had to create opportunities for them.

Serena saw the longing in Stella’s eyes, and since Hayden Crawford knew about the children’s background, she also wanted to have a good talk with him, so she nodded, "Alright, let’s sleep here with Uncle tonight."

"Great!" Stella cheered.

...

Serena carried Stella upstairs. Pip had already gone back to his room to sleep. After checking on Pip, Serena stayed with Stella until she slept.

Stella nestled into Serena’s embrace and whispered, "Mommy, what do you think of the handsome uncle?"

"Stella, why are you asking this?"

"I think the handsome uncle is very nice. Grandma says you have to judge men by their looks. The handsome uncle is so handsome, so tall, and his arms are strong. According to Grandma, he’s top-notch. He would definitely protect Mommy well. I want him to be my daddy. Mommy, do you like the handsome uncle?" Stella blinked her big eyes at Serena.

Serena, "..."

She had slept for two years in Alani, and Stella was raised by her mommy, Seraphina Linden. Her grandmother, so focused on appearances, now influenced Stella too.

But Serena was quite surprised. Stella had just met Hayden Crawford, but she already liked him enough to want him as her daddy.

Serena patted Stella’s hair, "Stella, Mommy has something to tell you. Actually, the handsome uncle is your daddy!"

What?

Stella’s mouth opened wide in shock, "Mommy, are you serious?"

"Of course it’s true." Serena nodded affirmatively.

Just then, the door opened with a click, and Hayden Crawford’s tall figure walked in. He looked at the mother-daughter pair whispering, "Why aren’t you asleep, what are you chatting about?"

"Handsome uncle, Mommy and I are talking about you. Mommy told me a secret." Stella blinked mysteriously.

Hayden Crawford came to the bedside and looked affectionately at the little pink bundle, "What secret?"

"The secret is... Mommy said the handsome uncle is my daddy!"

Hayden Crawford’s gaze fell on Serena.

Serena didn’t expect Stella to have such a quick mouth. She wanted to cover it but was too late, so she just hugged Stella, "Stella, time to sleep."

Stella patted a spot on the bed, "Handsome uncle, you should sleep with us tonight here."

Serena wanted to speak, but by then a part of the bed had already sunk, as Hayden lay down, "Stella, what should you call me?"

"Daddy~" Stella called happily yet a bit shyly.

Hayden Crawford felt as if a stone was thrown into the lake of his heart, instantly causing ripples. He kissed Stella’s little cheek, "Stella, Daddy loves you."

Stella was so happy, "Daddy, Mommy, I’m going to sleep now."

"Sleep well." Serena tucked Stella in.

But unexpectedly, Stella got up. She was in the middle of the bed, and she crawled to the inside, stretching out her hands to push Serena into Hayden Crawford’s arms, "Mommy, you sleep with Daddy~"

Serena’s snowy-white earlobes reddened immediately, "Stella, you..."

"Daddy, Mommy, don’t worry about me. I understand. Grandma says kids should be sensible, sleep on the inside, and let Daddy and Mommy sleep together because you need to give me a little brother." Stella said, covering her mouth and laughing.

Seeing such an "understanding" daughter, Serena, "..."
