Chapter 940: Hoping He Can Let Go
Orion teased his daughter, “Mom is so beautiful, you’re going to turn her bald. When you grow up, you won’t be able to see your beautiful mom anymore.”
Luna turned towards the kitchen to avoid intimate interaction with Orion.
“No need to cook, let’s eat out,” Orion suggested.
Luna responded with a nod, her back turned.
She came back.
Far away from Orion.
Orion didn’t insist.
In time, he believed Luna would come to understand.
Spending time together will bring about feelings.
He walked up to Luna and handed her the stars, “You carry our daughter. I’ll drive.”
Luna reached out, cradling the stars in her arms, avoiding any physical contact with Orion throughout.
She turned to the room, tidying up diapers and formula.
Bringing a baby out requires a lot of things.
She carried a bag on her shoulder, holding her daughter in her arms.
She walked out and got into the car.
She deliberately maintained a distance from Orion in the back seat.
Orion glanced at her from the rearview mirror, remaining silent, and then started the car and drove away.
…
In country F.
Kai was on vacation.
Freya suggested a trip back home.
The moment she spoke, Elijah knew her intention.
So he said, “Let’s go to Switzerland.”
Freya, “…”
Kai asked, “What’s fun in Switzerland?”
Elijah rubbed his son’s head, “You can ski in Switzerland.”
Upon hearing this, Kai immediately became excited, “I want to go skiing in Switzerland.”
Freya gave Elijah a knowing look and said, “You planned this, didn’t you?”
Elijah raised an eyebrow, not denying it.
Because this was his plan.
He never thought of deceiving Freya.
Besides, he couldn’t deceive her anyway.
“Other people’s affairs, they will handle it themselves. No matter how much help others offer, it won’t help. So, don’t bother yourself,” Elijah knew well why Freya wanted to go back – because of Luna.
Orion and Luna are adults.
What help do they need from others?
Maybe more help will only make things more complicated.
Freya understood this as well.
She was just worried.
She sighed, “Alright, you’re right.”
“Mom, are we going to Switzerland then?” Kai asked eagerly.
Freya replied, “Yes, are you happy?”
Kai grinned, “Of course, I am happy.”
Their trip to Switzerland for skiing immediately made it onto the agenda.
Sacha heard about it and expressed envy.
She almost had a miscarriage last time.
The doctor advised her to rest.
She couldn’t do any exercise, only walk.
But not run.
She considered herself lucky not to be confined to bed rest.
Otherwise, she would have felt even more suffocated.
Switzerland is indeed a unique country.
This time they didn’t bring much, focusing on companionship.
Both children were in their care.
Taking care of two children is not easy, requiring a lot of clothes and necessities.
Although they brought the children, they had someone specifically for carrying luggage and arranging accommodation, all pre-arranged.
Their itinerary was quite relaxed.
Just need to take care of the children.
Everything else was taken care of by others.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
They set off on a whim.
Kai held Freya’s hand and asked, “Is this a spur-of-the-moment trip for us?”
Freya smiled and replied, “Seems like it.”
Kai couldn’t stop grinning, showing his neat white teeth.
…
Back in the country.
Orion booked a high-end restaurant.
Good food, good ambiance.
He didn’t think that one meal could change Luna’s mind, he just wanted to spend quality time with her.
He believed that with time, everything could change, including Luna’s thoughts now.
However, his idea was good, but his daughter was unyielding.
From the moment the dishes were served, the stars kept crying.
No amount of soothing worked.
Neither Orion’s nor Luna’s embrace could calm her.
In a desperate situation, Orion took the stars outside, “You eat first, I’ll calm the stars.”
But even outside, the stars continued crying.
Luna couldn’t eat, so she walked outside and said to Orion, “I’m going home. The stars may not be comfortable here.”
Orion said, “It’s okay, you eat. I’ll hold the stars.”
Luna couldn’t eat in peace, “I’ve lost my appetite, let’s go.”
Orion wanted to say something, but seeing her resolute demeanor, he let it go.
“Let’s go.”
He held the stars.
Luna intervened, “Let me hold her, you have to drive.”
Orion looked up at her, paused for a moment, then handed the stars to her.
When Luna took the stars, their fingers inadvertently touched.
She almost instinctively flinched.
Orion quickly grabbed her hand, “If you let go, the stars will fall.”
Luna met his gaze, then quickly looked away.
She lowered her gaze, “I understand, let go of me.”
Although reluctant, Orion let go, not wanting to antagonize Luna.
Once Luna held the stars, she got into the car.
Orion drove back.
They didn’t eat the meal.
Oddly enough, once back home, the stars stopped crying.
After feeding her, she fell asleep soundly.
Maybe she cried herself out.
Her sleep was peaceful.
Orion pinched his daughter’s cheek, “You naughty child, not filial at all. Your crying made your parents miss out on their meal.”
Orion’s mention of ‘your parents’ took the ambiguity to the extreme.
Luna dared not say a word.
At this moment, anything she said felt like a response to Orion.
So, she remained silent.
With the stars asleep, but she and Orion hadn’t eaten, she went to the kitchen to prepare some food.
Orion waited in the living room.
Luna brought the food over to him, “I made some noodles, would you like some?”
“Sure.” He stood up, “I haven’t eaten yet, of course, I want to eat.”
He walked to the dining table and saw the cooked noodles on it. Sitting down, he said, “I love noodles.”
Luna looked surprised.
Orion said, “People change.”
He used not to like noodles.
He didn’t know if Luna remembered or deliberately made what he didn’t like.
He didn’t mind.
Because he really wasn’t as picky as before.
Maybe it was due to aging, or maybe it was because he had matured.
In any case, people do change.
Preferences change, characters change, intellect changes.
These changes usually make a person better.
Because if someone changes, it means they have matured.
Only when you mature, you change.
He picked up a spoon, mixed the tomato omelette with the noodles, and enjoyed it.
He ate with relish.
Luna watched him, as his bowl of noodles slowly diminished.
She sat down and picked up her chopsticks.
She knew Orion didn’t like noodles, so she deliberately made them.
She didn’t want to give Orion any hope, hoping he would give up.
But at this moment, his demeanor…
Luna’s feelings were complex!
Orion said, “You should eat quickly too, so it won’t get cold.”
