Chapter 305 Sleeping Together (Part Two)


    But what Barry didn''t know was that Sh felt a little sad. She thought he would miss her after not


    seeing her for a while, but his cold treatment right now proved her otherwise.


    "Dad! Dad!" Just before the awkward silence stretched a little longer, Ray saved the atmosphere as


    he rushed back downstairs. "Look, this is my painting."


    Barry took it over with a smile before settling on the soft sofa. "Ray, this is awesome! You are such a


    talented boy!" he praised as his eyes surveyed the painting thoroughly.


    "Mommy,e and have a look!" Ray held Sh''s hand and pulled her to Barry''s side.


    "Okay." Sitting next to Barry, Sh said in a low voice, "Ray''s painting is so good!"


    "Of course, he is my son!" Barry imed proudly.


    "Humph..." Hearing that, Sh protested in a low voice. But when she turned around, her gaze was


    met with Barry''s stare, causing her heart to skip a beat. Nervous, she broke free from his profound


    gaze and said, "I''ll go and check if the food is ready." She prepared to stand up as she spoke, but


    Barry was quick enough to grab her hand, pinning her back to her seat.


    "Hester is here. Let her do it and just wait here. You haven''te back for half a month. Don''t you


    want to stay a little longer with your son?"


    Sh could feel the warmth of his palm against her skin. It was so tingling that her cheeks actually


    blushed at that sudden touch. "Alright, but let go of my hand first." She conceded and sat back


    beside him.


    "Mommy is shy!" Ray eximed as his eyes caught sight of their hands, intertwined together. "Dad,


    don''t let go of Mom''s hand!"


    "Okay." Barry nodded. That was exactly what he wanted.


    Meanwhile, Sh''s face turned redder. She remained sitting beside him, not daring to move or even


    talk. Instead, she bit her lips tightly, fearing that she would break intoughter by ident.


    So, the two kept holding each other''s hands until the dinner was ready. It felt like a dream to Sh,


    and she didn’t want to wake up anymore. At the same time, Barry was reluctant to let her go, and so


    was Sh.


    "Dad," Ray sat at the table and asked, "are you free tomorrow?"


    "Why’d you ask?" Barry arched his right brow at the sudden question of his son.


    "The parent-child sports meeting will be held at school tomorrow," Ray said, biting his lips. "I want to


    take part in it with you, Dad."


    "Yes, of course! I’ll do it with you!" Without any hesitation, Barry agreed right away. Nothing would


    be more important than spending time with his son.


    "Yeah! That is great! Thanks, Dad! You are the best!" Ray was so ecstatic that he almost jumped


    from the chair. "Mom, will you go with us?" he asked, turning to his mother.


    "I..." Sh nced at Barry first before answering, "I have an interview tomorrow."


    At her words, Ray''s keen eyes suddenly dimmed, but he still nodded thoughtfully. "I know. I can just


    go with Dad. That will be good enough for me."


    Sh''s poprity had skyrocketed in the past two months, quickly making her one of the A-list stars


    in the country. The rest of her year had already been penciled in as her schedule was jam-packed


    with shootings, interviews, and TV show guesting. She was even busier than apany CEO like


    Barry.


    "What interview is more important than your son ''s activity in school?" A trace of dissatisfaction


    etched on Barry''s face as he sourly put the chopsticks down. And after hearing what he said, Sh


    gazed at her son with a hint of guilt glimmering in her eyes.


    "I''ll help you cancel the interview tomorrow," said Barry, who sounded so dominant as those words


    escaped his mouth. It sounded more like an order than a statement.


    "But this is a rare opportunity..."


    "With your current poprity, missing one interview will not graze your status." Then, raising his


    head to look at her, Barry continued, "You don''t have to work next month. Just stay at home and


    apany Ray. That’s what a mother should do."


    "What? No way! You already didn''t allow me to act any kissing or bed scene anymore, but now


    you''re canceling my work. My career has just restarted!" Sh couldn''t help raise her tone.


    "Don''t forget who made your career possible." After those unkind words echoed in the dining room,


    Barry stood up all of a sudden and went upstairs to the study with a stern face.


    Sh was left heaving a sigh.


    "Mommy, I''m sorry. I made you quarrel with Father," Ray uttered, lowering his head with a pout.


    "No, honey. It''s not your fault." Sh walked up to her son and gently caressed his head. "It''s all my


    fault. Alright, I won''t go to work tomorrow. I''ll just stay home and apany you to the sports


    meeting, okay?" sheforted in a loving tone.


    "Really?"


    "Yes, honey. Come on, let''s eat. After dinner, we ’ll do your homework together."


    "Okay!"


    Meanwhile, in the study, Barry took out a bottle of wine for a drink. He needed to relieve whatever


    strange emotions he was feeling right now. Why did he get angry for no reason? Everything was


    just fine earlier. He really couldn''t understand himselftely. His emotions seemed to be


    uncontroble whenever Sh was involved. Thinking of her, Barry reached out his hand that held


    hers a while ago. He could still feel the remnant of her warmth against his skin.


    ''I must be going crazy,'' he thought to himself, shaking his head and drinking thest mouthful of


    wine before heading to the bedroom.


    Inside the room was Sh, who was helping Ray with his homework.


    "Ray, are you tired? Do you want to have a break before continuing?"


    "No, it''s alright. I''m almost done." The kid shook his head and continued reading the problem


    thoroughly.


    "Are your eyes okay?" "Yep, there is nothing wrong with my eyes." After nodding, Ray suddenly put


    down his pen and asked, "Mom, you seem to be very afraid of Dad."


    That question made Sh frozen to her seat. She was utterly stunned to know that even her son


    had noticed it!


    "Dad is nice to me, to Elissa, and Alick. Why are you afraid of him, Mom?"


    "No, I''m not." Sh shook her head, vigorously. "I''m just... Well, I respect him."


    It was this scene that made Barry suddenly brighten up despite his mood. He was leaning by the


    door and heard everything she said. ''What a liar!'' he thought as a smirk found its way on his lips.


    "Mommy," Ray frowned and asked, "are you sad because Dad made you suffer a lot before?"


    "No. It was not his fault. I don''t me him." Sh shook her head again, now staring nkly at


    Ray''s book, obviously thinking deep.


    "But, you guys are so strange when you get along!" Ray bent over the table and said, "You don''t


    kiss or hug each other. You don''t sleep together. More often, you either quarrel or don''t speak to


    each other."


    "Well, adults areplicated, honey. Your young mind wouldn''t understand." Sh turned to her


    son and patted his hair with a soft smile. "Do you like Dad?" Ray asked, blinking his innocent eyes.


    Outside the door, Barry suddenly straightened up. His heart almost jumped out of his chest, waiting


    for Sh''s answer.


    Biting her lips, she answered, "Yes, I do."


    She liked him?


    "I like your dad. He is so handsome and rich, and he is your father, so of course, I like him!" she


    added.


    Barry''s heart thumped when he heard Sh''s confession. Saying that he was surprised at this point


    would be an understatement--he was bbergasted. But at the same time, he was also a little


    confused. Did she say it on purpose because of Ray, or was it real?


    "Can you let Dad sleep with us tonight?" Ray snaked his little arm around her mother, ying a little


    cute to get his way.


    "Well..." Stunned at that sudden request, Sh stammered, "But you, we... Uhm. Honey, I''m going


    to take a shower first."


    When she was about to run away, she found Barry standing at the door, eyeing her with so much


    intensity. As she thought that he probably heard her, her face turned pale with a gush of blush. "Hi!


    How long have you been standing here?" she asked in an evidently nervous manner.


    Barry took one giant step inside and answered, "I''ve been standing here since you said you like


    me."


    "You, you, you..." Sh stepped back. Then, pointing her slender finger at him, she added in a


    trembling voice, "Why didn''t you let us know?"


    "If I let my presence known, would I still hear your confession?" The corners of his mouth twitched.


    Then, Barry walked up to Ray and patted his head. "Ray, be good. I''ll sleep with you tonight. Oh,


    and with your mother too."


    "Yeah! Great! Great!" Ray threw himself into Barry''s arms and said, "Dad, you like Mommy too,


    right?"


    Raising his eyebrows, Barry turned to look at Sh without saying anything.

    Simultaneously, her face was red as a tomato as she stood still, not knowing what Barry meant with


    that look. Now feeling even shyer at this encounter, she stamped her feet and staggered to the


    bathroom to take a shower.


    As the water ran through her porcin skin, Sh thought deep of everything that had happened.


    Two months ago, Barry proposed that the two of them should try to work it out together. But in those


    times, there had been no progress in their rtionship, except that she and Ray moved into the vi


    to live with him.


    Knock. Knock. Knock.


    The knocking on the door brought Sh back to her senses. "Did you faint inside? Come out


    quickly. I want to use the bathroom." Barry''s angry voice came through the door, startling her even


    more.


    "There is more than one bathroom in this vi. Use those!" Sh shouted, feeling helpless at this


    point.


    "I want to use this one. Open the door quickly!"


    Sh pursed her lips, trying to calm herself. "Okay, I''ll be right out."


    Barry snorted and leaned against the door of the bathroom. He heard the sound of running water


    slowly fading, and the next second, Sh came out with a damped hair and bathrobe wrapped


    around her.


    "Well, you can go in now."


    As Barry surveyed her body, a surge of heat gradually filled him. Perhaps because he had just


    drunk some wine that his libido was quite active tonight.


    So, before any perverted thoughts conquered his head, he hurried into the bathroom and quickly


    took a shower. When he came out, Sh was already reading some bedtime stories to their son.


    "Dad,e here!" Ray immediately called him over.


    Barry paced to the bed andy down on it. Sh''s soft voice echoed in the air, making him feel at


    ease and peaceful.


    After a long time, Ray''s breathing became even, signaling that the young boy had already fallen


    asleep. Sh put down the storybook and


    tucked him under the quilt with a smile. When she turned around, she found that Barry was


    also fast asleep.


    So, quietly, she got out of bed and bent down to look at Barry. She wanted to wake him up after


    learning that he was still wearing a shirt, but she got absorbed staring at his well-sculpted face.


    She traced the outline of his face with her fingers, from his nose, up to his eyes and


    eyebrows. Sh sighed slightly and prepared to stand up when Barry suddenly opened his eyes.


    "Ah!" Utterly shocked, Sh screamed and


    almost jolted out of bed.


    "Shush! Do you want to wake Ray up?" Barry immediately sat up from the bed and grabbed her in


    his arms. They both fell on the bed.
