Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Another Bad Thing (1)

The three of them returned home, and Axel excitedly packed all the things he had bought into his backpack, especially the two bags of delicate marshmallows. After double-checking that he had packed everything, he obediently went to the bathroom to take a bath and get ready for bed.

Carolline also went to take a bath first. After she finished, she consciously walked towards Axel’s room. Since Axel was back, she naturally planned to sleep with him.

Bryan Hawkins leaned against the head of the bed, watching his wife walk into their son’s room, and sighing in his heart. It seemed that he would be sleeping alone again tonight.

As Carolline pushed open Axel’s room door, the little guy had already very consciously climbed into bed. She smiled in satisfaction. But before her smile could fade, Axel sat up in bed and said, "Mom, I can sleep by myself at night now."

"Really? Have you gotten used to it already?" Carolline was happy. After all, Axel was almost six years old, and it would be inappropriate for her to continue sleeping with him. However, it was normal for him to take some time to adjust to this transition - he was just a child.

"Yes, I’ll get used to it eventually." Axel nodded, hugging the teddy bear next to him and preparing to lie down. "Alright, Mom, you can go back to your room and sleep now. Goodnight."

Mainly because he met Elena Duncan tonight and saw how sweet she looked with her parents, he was finally at ease. Previously, whenever he saw Elena at kindergarten with a sad face, he too felt unhappy.

"Alright, I’ll leave a small light on for you, and we can turn it off after you’ve adjusted for a few days, okay?" Since Axel had already said this, Carolline naturally agreed. After all, she wanted her Axel to grow up to be a little gentleman.

"No need, Mom." Axel waved his hand. It wasn’t that he was afraid of the dark; he was just not used to it before. After sleeping with the light for two weeks, it had already improved a lot.

"Alright. Then I’ll go back to sleep now." Although Carolline was curious, she didn’t ask any more questions and closed Axel’s room door for him.

She went to the kitchen, poured a glass of warm water to drink, and then went upstairs to her bedroom. At this point, Bryan Hawkins had already taken a bath. Wearing only a pair of briefs, he was lying in bed. When Carolline pushed the door open, she was a little shy for a moment.

This guy didn’t even bother to cover up.

"Why are you back? Where’s Axel?" Bryan Hawkins put down the book in his hand and excitedly looked at Carolline, who was standing in the doorway. He was very excited in his heart, wondering if his wife had finally noticed him.

"Axel said he wants to sleep alone. Did you say something to him today?" Carolline walked in, her eyes staring straight ahead, not daring to look at him.

"No, what’s wrong?" Bryan Hawkins shook his head in confusion. Axel was his precious child. Although he might complain a little, he was still his son after all.

"..." If it wasn’t Bryan Hawkins, then it must have been Kylie Stratton who said something to Axel. Sigh, she must have too much free time on her hands as a mother.

Didn’t Bryan Hawkins recently invest a large sum of money into their kindergarten for renovations? And now, she was even prying into their private lives. It was ridiculous.

"It’s nothing. Let’s just sleep." Axel’s room wasn’t too far away—it was just separated from their room by a study room.

"Okay." Bryan Hawkins was naturally happy. He had been waiting for a long time to sleep in the same bed with his wife. He thought he would have to wait at least another month, but it turned out that the wait was shorter than expected.

He no longer had to sleep alone in an empty bed.

The two lay down in a flat position. Carolline stared at the ceiling, while Bryan Hawkins did the same. Neither of them spoke, and in the quiet room, their heavy breathing could be heard, one after another.
