Marriage with my daughter's father: Darling please be gentle - Chapter 75

Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Hundred kisses a day
Winter had no idea when she had fallen asleep, but when Kalix refused to let her go, holding her tightly in his embrace, she eventually gave up her struggle. She had ended up on his lap, and before she knew it, he had flipped them onto the bed, caging her in his arms.

Now, however, she felt like life was being squeezed out of her. His warmth was stifling, making it hard for her to stay still.

“Mm… get off, you heavy bear,” Winter muttered sleepily, trying to push away the weight pressing her down. Instead, she only got more tangled in his hold.

Her eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the dim light as she turned her head toward the culprit who refused to release her.

“Why is he so heavy when his body looks so lean and deceptively attractive?” She mumbled, frowning at Kalix, who remained fast asleep.

She narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing him. He had claimed he had trouble sleeping yet here he was, clinging to her like a koala, looking completely at ease.

Winter wondered for a moment if he was pretending, but as his breathing remained steady and his expression serene, she sighed.

If she weren’t so sleepy, she might have kicked him off the bed. But she was exhausted, and against her better judgment, she found herself simply staring at him.

She had seen plenty of handsome men at family gatherings, in college, and even at the club where she had worked part-time after leaving the Greyson house. But Kalix stood apart.

No man could rival his presence. He wasn’t just strikingly handsome; he was also filthy rich. And the realization that she was one of his love interests made her heart swell with pride.

Wait.

‘Pride? Seriously, Winter?’ She scolded herself internally. ‘Did you forget your resolution never to fall in love again?’

It was a fleeting thought, yet she still couldn’t bring herself to look away.

She might be determined to guard her heart, but in his arms, she felt a rare sense of security, the one that made every other thought seem insignificant in comparison.

‘If only I had met you before Eric… maybe things would have been different.’

Winter refused to let those words escape her lips, not even allowing them to linger in her mind.

She thought it was better to not think about it for now, let alone speak it out loud, when all she did was draw a line between them.

But still for a fleeting moment, her heart did flutter at the thought of meeting Kalix before Eric.

‘Would she still have opened her heart for him?’ she questioned herself while falling into a deep thought.

“Are you having explicit thoughts about me, Angel? I can already feel the heat radiating from you.”

Her eyes widened in shock as Kalix slowly opened his, the corners of his lips curling into a mischievous smirk.

“Y-You were awake the entire time?” She snapped, her hand instinctively pressing against his chest to push him away. But Kalix didn’t budge. Instead, he tightened his hold on her.

“What if I said yes? Would you still push me?” He teased, his voice laced with amusement.

Her embarrassment deepened, making her shrink before him.

She had been right to suspect he was faking sleep.But damn, he was so convincing that even her doubts hadn’t been enough to see through his act.

Winter gritted her teeth, her anger reaching its peak. “I swear, the second you let me go, I’ll throw you out of the window!”

She was so furious at his tricks that she didn’t care if he was twice her size. She would still dare to throw him off and boldly face his entire family if needed.

Kalix let out an amused chuckle, shaking his head. “Then I must not let you go. I can’t die without hearing you confess to me first.”

Winter stilled, his words rattling her more than she wanted to admit. But the smug grin on his face made it impossible to tolerate him.

“Ugh! Kalix, let me go, or I’ll shout!” she warned, refusing to back down. If he was determined to cage her, then she was ready to handle him just as fiercely.

Kalix studied her for a moment, taking in her infuriated expression, then shrugged.

“Okay, shout. But then be prepared for our daughter to come running in. And guess what? You’ll be the one explaining our… position.” He smirked, his eyes flickering toward their compromising entanglement.

Winter’s jaw dropped, her mind spiraling at the thought of Seren barging in first.

“Don’t bring our daughter into this! She’s too young for all of this!” She snapped, glaring at him.

Kalix’s smirk deepened. “Then you better not shout. Otherwise, be ready to face every other member in this house. And trust me, Angel, I’d love nothing more than to see you completely embarrassed all day.”

“You-”

Her words died in her throat when Kalix suddenly captured her lips, silencing her argument in an instant. Before she could react, he flipped her onto the bed, pinning her beneath him.

His hands pressed her wrists against the mattress as he devoured her mouth, stealing the breath from her lungs.

If only he were permitted to go further, Kalix would have taken her in every possible way, leaving her with sore legs and a spent body, ensuring she wouldn’t be leaving the room anytime soon. Hell, not even the bed.

“Hmmph!” Winter anxiously patted Kalix’s shoulder as her lungs gave out, and he instantly pulled back.

“Are you trying to suck the life out of me?” She demanded, her voice trembling.

A buzzing sensation coursed through her skull from the lack of oxygen, and she feared that if he hadn’t stopped, she would have definitely passed out.

Kalix simply smiled, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face before pressing a soft peck on her lips.

“I won’t let you die.” His foolish grin only irritated her further but what he said next left her completely baffled.

“But if you promise to kiss me a hundred times a day, I’ll consider sparing at least one kiss a day.”

“…”

Kalix chuckled at her clueless reaction, clearly amused.

Winter’s expression shifted from confusion to sheer anger as she glared at him. “You know what I think about you right now?”

“What?” he asked, still grinning.

“I want to kick that dick of yours so hard that you’ll be in pain for life. That way, you won’t ever be able to-”

Kalix cut her off smoothly, completely unfazed. “That would be a huge problem for you, Angel. How else will you give birth to our next nine children if their father’s tool gets rusted?”

Winter gaped at him in sheer disbelief. “Shameless,” she muttered, utterly lost for words.

Kalix grinned wider. “Only for you.”

“Ugh, get lost!” She shouted, finally pushing him off her before sliding out of bed.

As she stormed toward the door, his teasing voice followed her. “Remember, Angel, hundred kisses every day!”

Winter didn’t stop. She hurried out of his room, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a response.

Quickly reaching her room, Winter let out a breath of relief upon seeing Seren still asleep. Moving silently, she slid under the duvet and placed a gentle kiss on her daughter’s forehead.

“Daddy?” Seren stirred in her sleep, mumbling Kalix’s name before slowly blinking her eyes open.

“Mommy, did Daddy come?” She asked in her sweet, sleepy voice.

Winter smiled softly. “Yes, he did. And guess what? Daddy is eager to see Seren at the breakfast table. Come on, my little star, let’s get up and kick-start the day!”

“Yay!” Seren cheered, instantly sitting up with excitement.

Thankfully, her lack of awareness about Winter’s absence during the night spared her from any morning interrogation.

“Daddy, can we go to the amusement park this weekend? Ethan, my classmate, said his parents are taking him, and I want to go too. Can we, please?” Seren pleaded, her doe-like eyes shining with excitement. Her tiny button nose dipped behind a cute pout, making her look more adorable than a doll.

Winter shook her head, not even bothering to intervene. She knew her daughter too well. Seren was a master at sweet-talking her way into getting what she wanted. No matter how tough or cold a person was, her cuteness always managed to break through their walls.

Kalix chuckled, amused. “Okay, we can go. But first, Star needs to answer Daddy’s question.”

Seren’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and she nodded eagerly.

“Is anyone troubling you at school? You can always tell Daddy.”

Despite keeping a close eye on Seren’s schooling, Kalix wanted to hear it directly from her. He hoped to be her best friend—someone she could always confide in, without fear or hesitation.

Winter paused mid-bite, her gaze drifting toward them, especially toward Seren, who seemed to be deep in thought. She tapped her tiny forefinger against her chin, her brows furrowed in concentration.

After a brief moment, she finally shook her head. “No, Daddy. No one is troubling me.”

Winter let out a quiet sigh of relief and resumed eating her breakfast.

Kalix was already fulfilling his role as Seren’s father, making sure she had the best of everything. But as Winter thought about that, another name suddenly crossed her mind—Sylvester.

“How about we visit your Gramps this weekend? Didn’t you say you wanted to meet him?” Winter gave Seren a knowing look, but it was Kalix who was more surprised by her words.

“Okay, we can do that! Gramps said he misses me a lot.”

“And how about we go see Oldie right after breakfast?” Winter asked, patiently waiting to see Seren’s expression shift from excitement to pure surprise.

Seren’s eyes widened. “Grappy is back? Did he ask for me?”

Kalix watched as Seren’s excitement grew at the mention of her great-grandfather. Seeing the pure joy on her face gave him a deeper insight into just how much she loved them both, despite having been away from them all these years.

Seren resumed eating, eager to finish her meal as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, Winter turned to meet Kalix’s gentle gaze.

“About Grandpa, there is something I need to ask you.” Kalix notice a gleam of curiosity in her Winter’s eyes as she bored into him nfazed. The weight of her words slowly setting in.
