Chapter 127

• The next morning…
• Ethan groaned softly as he woke from sleep. Stretching his body, he turned to Alex, who was still fast asleep. Ethan gazed at him lovingly, he looked so peaceful, so breathtakingly handsome even in his sleep. Day by day, Ethan found himself falling deeper in love with this man. His eyes drifted to Alex’s lips, and he leaned closer, pressing a gentle kiss against them. Alex stirred but didn’t wake. Ethan chuckled quietly.
• Turning to check the clock, Ethan’s eyes widened in shock—it was already 11 a.m. ''Shit! The kids!'' He muttered, panicking as he jumped out of bed. He dashed out of the room, heading straight to the children’s room, only to find it empty. His panic grew as he rushed downstairs.
