Chapter 814: CUDDLING
For the next two days after that, Kia rarely saw Misha because he was very busy. Her days were spent playing with Mika, accompanied by three babysitters that Kia didn’t really need, because she was sure she could take care of her own daughter, but Misha said that they would still stay employed and could help her anytime, just in case.
And because the conversation was very short as Misha had to go to work, they didn’t discuss it any further and now the three babysitters were like chat buddies for Kia, instead of taking care of Mika.
Kia had not seen Misha for the past two days, so she was determined not to sleep tonight and waited for him in the living room, just so she could meet with Misha.
“Why aren’t you sleeping yet?” Misha asked when he entered the house and found Kia waiting for him. Due to a problem at work, he had to come home really late these past few days.
“I’m waiting for you,” said Kia while approaching Misha. “Have you eaten?”
Misha fell silent and answered half heartedly. “Yes, I have, I have eaten.”
Kia narrowed her eyes. “You are lying.”
“I already ate this afternoon.”
“That means you haven’t had dinner yet, right?”
“…”
“I’ll prepare dinner for you, okay? Meanwhile, you can clean up first.”
“You don’t have to do that,” Misha said quickly. “Just let someone else do it, you should rest. Don’t wait too late for me to come home like this again either.”
“I’m fine, Misha, at least this is all I can do to repay your kindness,” said Kia.
Misha frowned when he heard that, he pulled Kia’s hand so they were facing each other now.
“Don’t say such things, I took care of Mika because she is my daughter, how could you owe me a favor because I took care of my own child? And I’m taking care of you because you are the mother of my child, there’s nothing wrong with that and you don’t owe me anything, therefore, you don’t have to think about how to repay it.” Misha said it all in a firm voice, but he didn’t raise his voice at all.
“I…” Kia tried to find the words she could say to Misha, but he had spoken first.
“Please don’t think like that, if anyone here is indebted, then it’s me.” Misha lowered his voice, he then stretched out his hand and stroked Kia’s cheek gently. “Caring for Mika and you for this one month cannot be compared to the struggles you have faced taking care of Mika alone for the past four years.”
Kia bit her lips, for some reason her heart felt tight. Even though Misha didn’t say extravagant things, hearing someone admit that her struggles had a big meaning and thank her for what she had done so far, really made Kia’s heart feel tight.
Those were the simple words she wanted to hear.
Maybe she was too sensitive, but Kia really wanted to hear those words from other people.
“You’ve done an extraordinary job, Kia, don’t ever forget that. If anyone here should feel bad and feel indebted, it’s me. And I also have to apologize to you for what I’ve done.”
For some reason, Kia cried when she heard this. Maybe this was the effect of the medicine or indeed she was very sensitive, but somehow she just wanted to cry and she couldn’t hold back the tears.
Seeing this, Misha pulled Kia into his arms and let her cry into his chest.
“Cry, I’m here for you,” Misha said softly while stroking Kia’s back.
“I don’t know why I’m crying,” Kia said between sobs. “I can’t stop crying.”
“Then just cry until your heart is satisfied.” Misha kissed Kia’s head carefully because he didn’t want his actions to be interpreted differently. He just wanted to show that he cared for and loved her.
And Kia cried in Misha’s arms for about half an hour before her crying subsided a little and the white shirt that Misha was wearing was wet on the front because of Kia’s tears and whatnot, which made her a little embarrassed.
“I shouldn’t have cried like this,” she said shyly while trying to dry the front of Misha’s shirt which was now all wet from her tears.
But, Misha just laughed when he heard that. “Why not?” Misha asked while tidying Kia’s slightly messy hair. “I don’t mind even if you wet my shirt every night, but I hope you won’t be sad for a long time and that feeling will pass soon.”
Misha then wiped Kia’s tears from her cheeks and looked at the girl gently. Her cheeks and nose were all red while her eyes were swollen, but she was still beautiful and very adorable.
“Sorry,” said Kia, even though she didn’t know what she was apologizing for. It was almost like a habit for her to do that now.
“Why do you have to apologize, don’t say such things, there’s no need to apologize to show how you feel.”
The atmosphere that night was calm and there were only the two of them there, which made both of them feel more comfortable, but then, when they looked at each other and seemed to be carried away, Mika’s voice startled them both, whereupon Kia reflexively pushed Misha away from her.
“Mama?” Mika rubbed her sleepy eyes, she woke up and didn’t find Kia and when she went to Misha’s room, she didn’t find her uncle there either.
“Mika? Are you awake?” Kia said in a hoarse voice because she had been crying earlier, which Mika quickly noticed.
“Mommy is crying?” asked Mika who then ran toward Kia. “Mommy, why are you crying? What is it?” asked Mika with a sad expression because she realized her mother was crying.
“Mommy didn’t cry.”
“Mama is crying,” Mika insisted, then she fixed her gaze on Misha. “Is this uncle bothering mama again?” She remembered the last time her mother cried was because of this ‘uncle’.
“No, no, Mika, it’s not like that,” Kia said quickly, because she could see her little daughter looking fiercely at Misha.
Misha gasped when he saw that his sweet and shy little princess could look so fierce and scary. Did he look like this too when he was angry? Now Misha wondered how his face looked when he was angry.
“But, that uncle has made mama cry before,” Mika said angrily. She then hugged her mother and buried her face in her mother’s shoulder. “Mika doesn’t want to be with that uncle.”
“No, Mika, mama wasn’t crying because of him,” said Kia trying to calm her little daughter who was now crying.
Maybe this was the emotional bond between the mother and child duo, because Mika could feel the sadness that Kia was feeling, therefore, she too looked upset and started crying.
“I’ll talk to her in the room and calm her down,” Kia said softly to Misha and then walked back to the room with Mika crying on her shoulder.
Seeing that, Misha couldn’t help but sigh. Looks like he still had a long way to go to gain the trust of his fierce little daughter.
After that, Misha cleaned himself up and was too tired to stay awake. He fell asleep right after he went to Mika’s room and found Kia sleeping with their daughter.
Misha kissed Mika and Kia before returning to his room and only woke up when he heard a muttering voice nearby.
“Let’s just wake him up,” said Mika in a low voice.
“No, let’s just put the breakfast on the table.”
“It’s okay, I usually switch to sleep in this room. The blanket feels warm, what if mom also sleeps beside him? It feels very comfortable,” said Mika, inviting Kia to sleep with Misha on the bed.
Misha heard this and smiled in his heart. He could imagine what Kia’s expression would be right now.
“No, let’s put down the breakfast, and we will head out.” Kia then put the breakfast she had made on the table, because she didn’t want to wake Misha up.
According to the people in this house, Misha should have woken up by this hour, but it seemed they were wrong and the man looked so sound asleep that Kia couldn’t bear to wake him up.
“Come here, mama, it’s more comfortable here,” Mika said as she climbed onto Misha’s bed and started sneaking into his blanket.

“Mika! Don’t!” Kia hissed in a low tone, she widened her eyes when she saw Mika hugging Misha who still had his eyes closed. “Come back here.”
“No, it’s comfortable here,” said Mika who then snuggled closer to Misha.
And just when Kia was about to scream, Misha opened his eyes and said suggestively. “Yes, why don’t you come join us and sleep together here? It feels very comfortable.”
“Misha!” cried Kia, her face now flushed.
Misha and Kia laughed while the little girl waved her hand, asking her mother to join the cuddling party.
But Kia didn’t want to, she frowned and was about to walk away, but what she didn’t expect was for Misha to immediately reach out for her from the bed and grab her hand.
Misha’s grip was so solid that Kia couldn’t struggle out of it, and the next thing that she knew, Misha had already pulled her onto the bed, which made Mika laugh happily. She immediately started cuddling with her mother.
And that morning, filled with laughter and family cuddling, even Misha had to cancel his morning meeting because he felt he didn’t want to go. He kept cuddling with his little family.
