Celeste and Danielle enjoy a carousel ride. Ethan sets a photo of them as his screensaver and later buys them ice cream. While walking home, Ethan insists Celeste accept ice cream and then grasps her hand, holding it tightly as they walk, with Danielle between them. They are observed by onlookers who remark on their happy family appearance.

The family of three got into the Jeep, Ethan Barnes sat in the front driving, and Celeste Linden sat in the back with their daughter Danielle, who were both eating ice cream.

The ice cream was too large and no matter how much they ate, they couldn’t finish it. Celeste Linden felt a bit uncomfortable in her stomach, realizing that it was around the time for her period, and eating cold things was making her uneasy.

"Mommy, why aren’t you eating?" Danielle asked in her childish voice.

"Mommy can’t finish it," Celeste Linden said reluctantly.

"Then what do we do? Oh, I know, Mommy, why don’t you give the rest of the ice cream to Daddy?" Danielle, the clever little girl, immediately came up with a good idea.

Give it to him?

"Um... isn’t that a bit..."

"Would you really throw it away, Mommy? You can’t waste it, you know."

Celeste Linden looked up at the man in the driver’s seat. His big hands were on the steering wheel, and upon hearing her, he glanced back at her through the rearview mirror.

Although they had just shared food earlier, he surely wouldn’t eat the leftover ice cream from her, right?

Celeste Linden symbolically asked, "Do you want some ice cream?"

Celeste Linden waited for him to refuse.

But Ethan Barnes just curled his thin lips, "You feed me."

What?

Celeste Linden looked at him, shocked.

Ethan Barnes gestured towards the steering wheel in his hands, "I have to drive; you feed me."

He actually wanted to eat her leftover ice cream?

At this moment, Danielle urged, "Mommy, Daddy wants to eat, hurry and feed Daddy, or else the ice cream will melt."

"..."

Celeste Linden felt like she had dug a hole for herself to jump into. She shifted her body, leaned closer to his driver’s seat, and extended her hand to the front, bringing the ice cream to his lips, "Here."

Ethan Barnes opened his mouth and took a bite of the ice cream.

The very sweet flavor spread in his mouth.

Celeste Linden was waiting for him to eat more, but then he furrowed his brows, "The ice cream is all over my mouth, it’s so messy, quickly clean it for me."

"Oh." Celeste Linden quickly pulled out some tissues to wipe him clean.

The ice cream had gotten on the right corner of his mouth, and she wiped it off with the tissue, then said, "There, it’s clean now."

She looked up and was immediately caught in his dark eyes.

Unknowingly, the two of them were already very close. She leaned her body forward, and their breaths intertwined, now her soft, slender fingers still lingered at his lips.

The pose was intimate.

Celeste Linden quickly withdrew her hand like a flash of lightning, and Ethan Barnes broke the silence, "Keep feeding me."

Celeste Linden, without saying a word, stuffed all the remaining ice cream into his mouth, not caring whether he could eat it all, then she retreated.

"Mommy you~ mmm!"

Danielle wanted to speak, but Celeste Linden had already covered Danielle’s mouth with her hand, implying "No, Danielle, you don’t want to say anything."

Danielle blinked her big, bright eyes, looking at her Mommy in confusion, Mommy, why is your face so red?

...

Back home, Ethan Barnes went straight to the study to work. Celeste Linden had an idea that he had a lot of work to do since he returned suddenly, so she took Danielle into the master bedroom.

The mother and daughter took a bath, then Celeste read a story to Danielle, who soon drifted off to sleep.

Celeste Linden cuddled Danielle closer to her, leaving the outside space for Ethan. They had originally agreed to sleep in separate beds, but Danielle wanted to sleep with Daddy and Mommy, so tonight she would have to share a bed with him again.

Celeste Linden curled up inside the bed and closed her eyes.
