Chapter 45: Cohabitation Again.
Chasel Mills and Michelle Allen were both taken aback by Belle's question.
Michelle's fair, delicate cheeks flushed a bright red.
"Because Daddy is a man and Mommy is a woman," Chasel quickly explained.
After his explanation, he didn't give Belle a chance to ask more questions. Instead, he shifted the topic. "How about I tell you a story, Belle?"
"Yes, yes!" Belle exclaimed excitedly.
Chasel then picked Belle up and settled her on the sofa, beginning to share the stories he had in his mind, one by one.
Meanwhile, Michelle sat beside them, watching and listening intently.
Seeing Chasel's patience with Belle, the genuine love he had for her was palpable.
Michelle couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion wash over her.
It was as if Chasel Mills truly was Belle's father.
In that moment, the family was happily together, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Time seemed to fly by in such a comforting setting.
It felt like no time had passed at all.
However, the night had deepened.
The darkness grew thicker!
Belle, Theo Clark, and Emily had all fallen asleep in Chasel Mills' embrace, unaware of when they had drifted off.
"Should we wake her up to wash up?" Chasel Mills asked Michelle Allen, glancing at the sleeping Belle.
Michelle looked at Belle for a moment and then shook her head. "Forget it. If we wake her, who knows what strange ideas or requests she might come up with."At this, Michelle's face flushed again, unable to help herself.
Chasel felt a bit awkward too. He knew exactly what kind of strange requests Michelle was referring to.
So, he carefully picked up Belle and carried her to Michelle's bedroom, gently placing her on the bed.
Fortunately, this time, Belle didn't wake up.
"Should I head back now?" After laying Belle down, Chasel turned to Michelle again.
Michelle hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and said, "How about you stay the night? I'm worried that if Belle wakes up, she'll come looking for you.""I'll just sleep on the couch then and head out in the morning," Chasel Mills nodded and said.
This way, if Belle needed him, he could be there in an instant, and it would also help avoid the awkwardness of sharing a bed with Michelle Allen again.
"I'm sorry for making you do that," Michelle said, a hint of regret on her face.
However, just as they were talking, a sudden voice interrupted from the bed, "Daddy, why are you sleeping on the couch?"
Both of them jumped in surprise. They quickly turned to see Belle, who had somehow woken up without them noticing. Her little eyes sparkled like gems as she looked at them, filled with confusion.
"Daddy doesn't want to wake Belle up by getting into bed, so he decided to sleep on the couch," Michelle quickly explained.
She shot a glance at Chasel, feeling a wave of relief wash over her. Thank goodness they hadn't said anything else just now. If Belle had heard them talking about how Chasel wasn't really her dad but someone hired to trick her, Michelle couldn't even imagine how Belle would react.
At the same time, this served as a wake-up call for Michelle.
From now on, even if Belle fell asleep, they could never talk about those things in front ofher again.
"No way! I want Daddy to sleep with us, okay?" Belle pouted and immediately jumped out of bed. She grabbed Chasel Mills' hand and wouldn't let go!
"Alright, alright, Daddy will sleep with us, but you have to let him wash up first," Michelle Allen quickly replied.After a quick wash-up, just like the last time, Chasel Mills and Michelle Allen got dressed before climbing into bed.
The same people. The same familiar scent. The same positions. Belle was in the middle, with Chasel Mills and Michelle Allen on either side.
But this time, both Chasel and Michelle felt a slight change in their hearts. After all, they had shared a bed before.
They didn't feel as restless as they had the last time.
Sitting up against the headboard, Chasel Mills began to tell Belle another story, gradually lulling her into a peaceful sleep.
Seeing Belle fast asleep, Michelle Allen softlysaid, "Chasel Mills, thank you."
"Sleep well!"
To avoid waking Belle, Michelle moved gently, her silky, delicate body sliding down along the headboard. She settled onto the bed, her long hair cascading around her, some strands resting on her pillow while others brushed against her slightly exposed, fair shoulder and skin.
Chasel Mills couldn't help but feel his heart race at the sight of her graceful and enchanting posture.
Just as Michelle lay down, she suddenly parted her lips again and added, "Goodnight!"
Hearing her voice, Chasel took a deep breath and replied softly, "Goodnight!"
He then added, "Sweet dreams!"
After saying that, Chasel turned off the light and lay down.
Listening to the gentle breaths of Belle and Michelle Allen beside him, Chasel gradually drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, at six o'clock, Chasel Mills woke up on time. However, an awkward scene unfolded once again.
At some point during the night, the girl who had been sleeping next to him, Belle, had somehow transformed back into Michelle Allen.
This time, their positions were even more intimate. Michelle Allen rested in the embrace of Chasel Mills. He held her tightly, wrapping his arms around her securely.
The two of them were nestled together, and they could even feel the warmth and softness radiating from each other's bodies!
