Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1055:

Both Marissa and Connor heard the murmurs around them.

Connor, however, paid no mind to the idle talk, holding the candy bar with a serene smile, offering it with the utmost delicacy.

Marissa, though indifferent to the murmurs, was visibly uneasy with Connor’s overt affection.

Even though she had been privy to his more shameless side in private quarters—even to the extent of his undress—they were now divorced and ought to maintain a decorous distance.

Moreover, she was now betrothed to Everett, caught in a muddle over how to navigate this delicate juncture. As she pondered whether to accept the candy, Lawrence and Lindsay, each clutching one of her legs, looked up at her with guileless eyes and pleaded in their melodious tones, “Try the candy, Mommy.”

With a candy bar already in his mouth, Lawrence said,noveldrama

“Mommy, I’ve already sampled it for you. It’s delicious. Even a tough cookie like me finds it sweet and soothing.” Lindsay, also with a candy bar between her lips, grinned broadly and exclaimed, “Exactly! Mommy, the candy tastes and smells so wonderful, and since Daddy has unwrapped it himself, it’s become the best candy in the world. Come on, Mommy. Try it!”

Marissa felt a flush of embarrassment at the thought of accepting the candy from Connor’s hand with everyone watching, but she couldn’t bear to disappoint the children. Their eager faces, so full of hope for the unity of their parents, tugged at her heart.

Earlier, when she had watched Connor tenderly unwrapping candy for the children, she had been deeply touched. Ever since discovering they were his biological children, he had transformed into a doting father, overflowing with affection.

The children munched on their candy bars with sheer delight, their satisfaction evident. Then they turned their sweet smiles to Marissa, urging their father to unwrap one for her too, so the entire family could indulge together.

Refusing Connor’s candy now would surely dampen their spirits.

As Marissa hesitated, Connor already had the candy poised at her lips, his smile encouraging. He softly prompted, “Open up.”

Caught off guard, Marissa instinctively opened her mouth, and in the next instant, the candy nestled inside, its creamy sweetness enveloping her senses.

“Mommy, isn’t it really sweet and fragrant?” Lindsay asked, her eyes wide with hope.

“Mommy, doesn’t it make you incredibly happy, eating the candy Daddy unwrapped for you?” Lawrence added, his gaze equally expectant.

Tasting the candy, Marissa recognized its delightful flavor and fragrance, and a genuine sense of happiness washed over her.

She then crouched down, lovingly stroked the children’s cheeks, and replied, “It is sweet and fragrant. Yes, I feel so happy now.”
