Chapter 77: 77: One and only

A warm smile spread on Nova’s face as she sat up on the bed. "Morning, baby," she replied, staring at him.

Alan blushed and sat on the bed as well, holding Nova’s hand, being clingy and touchy. "Raymond cooked early, fill your stomach first, Snow," he said.

Nova nodded and carried the tray, placing it on her lap, then she started eating.

"Good morning, my sunshine!" Cassian shouted as he entered the room with a bowl of newly made soup in his hand. He walked closer to Nova and pressed a kiss to her cheek.

"Good morning, darling," Nova replied, her cheeks already filled with food. She looked at the smiling Cassian, and her gaze fell on the bowl he was holding. "What’s this?" she asked.

"Oh, this is a nourishing soup, it will return your energy. When I came back home yesterday night, you looked tired and fast asleep, so I prepared you an energy soup," Cassian replied.

Nova smiled and stared at Alan, who scratched the back of his head with a flushed face. She collected the soup and flashed Cassian a gentle smile.

Cassian stared at Alan’s flushed face and narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on his ’little brother.’

"What... what are you looking at?" Alan questioned, noticing Cassian’s gaze on his little brother. He immediately covered himself with the blanket, his face flushing even more.

"I say, you are only eighteen, try holding yourself back. Don’t hurt my wife for me. I can roughly guess how many rounds you went with her yesterday, since you came back from school," Cassian commented, folding his arms.

"I... I just couldn’t control myself," Alan murmured, his body heating up.

"It’s fine, let my baby be, he has a high libido," Nova replied, continuing to eat her food. "He’s doing a hard job holding himself back already," she added, staring at Cassian.

Cassian’s jaw dropped, speechless. "You have an advantage because you are the youngest, isn’t that the case? High libido! Hmph, I think you need more work to not let your mind wander around," he thought, forcing a calm smile on his face as he stared at Nova.

"Wifey!" Raymond walked in. "Good morning, my one and only," he greeted, walking closer to Nova and pressing a kiss to her lips, tasting the food on them.

Nova swallowed the food in her mouth. "Morning, Hubby," she replied, and watched as he sat on the bed, his gaze darting back and forth between Alan and Cassian.

"What’s up between you two?" he asked.

"Alan has a high sex desire, high libido," Cassian replied.

"Eh?" Raymond was stunned and stared at Alan. "It’s you again," he gritted his teeth. "This boy is using his opportunity as being the youngest to his full advantage, isn’t he? We need a roster in this house," he thought.

"It’s good to be young," he commented, staring at Alan while gritting his teeth.

Alan stared at Raymond and moved closer to Nova, placing his head on her shoulder. "I’m having the upper hand here!" he thought, and flashed them a mocking smile.

"Don’t say it like that, I love you all equally," Nova said, taking another bite of her food. "You two are young as well, and handsome," she added.

Cassian and Raymond smiled, feeling proud of themselves.

Raymond cleared his throat and stared at Nova. "Wifey, will you accompany me back home tonight? It’s my mum’s birthday, and she’s celebrating it from tonight till tomorrow," he said, staring at Nova.

Nova raised her head and stared at Raymond. "Why are you just telling me now? I haven’t prepared any gift, I don’t know what to gift her," she replied, pausing from eating.

"Your presence is enough, I’m sure she will be more than happy seeing you," Raymond replied.

"That won’t do. As her daughter-in-law, I should present something to her. Never mind, I will sort it out myself," Nova replied and continued eating.

"We are coming too!" Alan and Cassian immediately spoke in unison.

"I didn’t invite you," Raymond replied, gritting his teeth.

"Hmph, there’s no need to invite us, we will invite ourselves," Cassian replied, smirking.

Alan nodded in agreement.

Raymond lightly shook his head. "That’s okay too, our whole family will go. Wifey, I have prepared the dress you will wear," he said.

Nova nodded. "Get me paint as well, I think I should paint her something too," she said.

"Don’t worry about that, wifey, we have a painting room in this mansion just for you, everything you need is there," Cassian commented.

Nova raised her brows in amusement. "You are really good," she said.

Cassian smiled proudly.

"Um... I will select your shoes and do your hairstyle," Alan commented.

Nova stared at him. "You can style hair?" she asked.

Alan nodded with confidence. "I’m naturally gifted in styling hair," he replied.

"Tsk, quite confident. How many girls have you styled hair for before?" Cassian asked, glaring at Alan.

"I didn’t, Nova is always my first," Alan replied immediately, sending a dagger-like glare at Cassian.

"Cassian, be nice to my baby," Nova commented lightly while enjoying her food.

"I was just asking, darling, hold on," Cassian commented, and suddenly knitted his brows together. "I noticed something, darling. You address Raymond as ’Hubby’ and now Alan as ’Baby’, what about me?" he asked.

Nova laughed, almost choking.

Alan immediately patted Nova’s back.

"Yo, someone is jealous," Raymond commented, smirking at Cassian.

Cassian rolled his eyes. "I just think it’s not fair. Why will you all be called by affectionate names by my wife and I won’t be?" he replied, and stared at Nova, who was looking back at him, holding in her laughter.

"What do you want me to call you?" she asked.

"My one and only," Cassian replied almost immediately, it was as if he had been waiting for the question from Nova.

"That’s unacceptable! How can you be called ’one and only’? You are not the one and only," Alan shouted immediately, strongly opposing the idea.

"It’s not up to you to decide," Cassian replied arrogantly.

"I oppose too." Raymond raised his hand and stared at Nova. "Wifey, he’s not your one and only," he complained, looking pitiful.

Nova chuckled and stared at Cassian. "Cassian, addressing you as my ’one and only’ is like playing favorites. I have three husbands," she reasoned.

Cassian remained silent for a while. "Fine, let’s go for ’my heartbeat’ then," he replied.

"Cassian!" Raymond and Alan shouted his name in unison, glaring at him with an irritated gaze.
