This very thing in Jade's hands was about to take her on a journey to heights she'd only experienced once a week prior, and the thought left her both nervous and exhilarated.
Ross chuckled, his gaze warm and steady as he looked down at her. Without missing a beat, he replied, "Then I'll be the father of four healthy, happy babies. That's four times the blessing, isn't it?" His voice held a playful edge, but there was sincerity in his words, a confidence that only made her anticipation grow.
This was, of course, a lie. Ross had no plans for kids just yet—at only eighteen, he felt far too young to take on permanent responsibilities like fatherhood.
Jade felt a smile tug at her lips, both amused and touched by his answer.
There was something strangely reassuring in his presence, in the way he looked at her like she was truly special, like this moment held meaning beyond just the physical.
