Zu Wan didn't know what to say. He felt alarmed when Titania burst out crying while scolding him. He could feel that she was truly hurt when he disappeared.
When she got tired, Titania hugged him so tight, leaning her head on his chest.
"Shhh… Don't cry. I'm sorry. I'm back. I didn't mean to make everyone worry about me. It's just that I had to leave." Zu Wan tried to comfort her.
After a few seconds, Titania calmed herself, gathering her emotions. She finally let go of Zu Wan, wiping her tears using her hand.
Zu Wan looked at her helplessly. Titania also gazed up. For a long moment, the two stared at each other intently.
It was Zu Wan who broke their eye contact first and looked away. He couldn't understand why his heart was suddenly pounding so hard under her penetrating gaze.
Then Eva's words popped up in his mind.
[ "I understand… if you also feel something towards my twin sister…" ]
Zu Wan shook his head, erasing that thought. He still refused to acknowledge whatever feelings he had for Titania because he thought that it was unfair to Eva.
Meanwhile, Titania bit her lower lip as she realized how embarrassing it was for Zu Wan to see her in this state. She couldn't help it as she was carried away by her emotions.
"I'm sorry…" Titania meekly said, lowering her gaze as she couldn't look straight into Zu Wan's eyes. She tried her best to hide her embarrassment.
"Sorry? You don't have to apologize. Come… let's watch the twins. You haven't seen them yet," Zu Wan said, extending his hand to her.
Titania stared at his palm for several seconds before accepting it. Zu Wan gently pulled her toward the nursery's glass window. From their position, they could see Little Cassie and Little Tian.
They were still awake, playing with their hands and feet. Their eyes were roaming around as if they were assessing their surroundings.
"Meet our cute little angels…" Zu Wan couldn't erase the smile on his face as he subconsciously squeezed Titania's hand.
They stayed there for several minutes, talking about what happened to Zu Wan before going to Zhen-Zhen's ward. But when they dropped by, Zhen-Zhen was already sound asleep. Tristan was there, watching over her.
"Aunt… Father-in-Law…"
Titania and Zu Wan motioned Tristan to stay quiet. They didn't want to wake Zhen-Zhen up.
"We are going to leave first. I'll bring Zu Wan with me. I think he needs to rest and… change his clothes," Titania said, thinking about Zu Wan.
Zu Wan bit his lower lip, realizing was still wearing the same clothes he had when he disappeared three months ago.
Tristan could only smile as he looked at Titania and Zu Wan meaningfully. They looked good together as if they were a couple. He knew how much Titania got affected too much when Zu Wan disappeared.
"Take care, Aunt. I'll call you once my wife wakes up. I understand that both of you also need to catch up with one another."
Titania's face blushed almost immediately while Zu Wan could only scratch the back of his head.
"Okay. We will be back later." Titania said, pulling Zu Wan's hand as they left the ward.
Titania didn't let go of Zu Wan's hand. She was gripping him tightly, afraid that he might disappear again.
On the other hand, Zu Wan was obediently following Titania while his eyes were fixed on their entangled hands. For some unknown reason, he felt glad that he was able to see Titania again.
The two of them grabbed a taxi. They were very silent during the ride but Titania continued holding him. When they arrived at her place, Titania excitedly alighted from the car, tugging Zu Wan with her.
Ella was there, waiting for her mother. She didn't expect to see Zu Wan. She ran in his direction as soon as she saw Zu Wan.
"Papa!" Ella hugged him immediately. "I knew it! You came back!"
Zu Wan carried her in his arms while hugging her. "You're so big now!" He teased her.
Ella crumpled her face and said, "I'm not fat. I'm just taller than before."
Zu Wan let out a soft chuckle before pinching Ella's cute face.
"Papa! Did my big sister already give birth today?" Ella asked Zu Wan excitedly. "Is this the reason you came back?" she added, looking at Zu Wan expectantly.
"Yes! She did. You can see Little Cassie and Little Tian now." Zu Wan answered her.
Ella's eyes brightened up when she heard that. "Yey! I'm going to meet the twins!"
Titania gently stroked Ella's hair, smiling tenderly. "I'm sorry to disrupt your reunion, honey. But your Papa Zu has something to do first. Come with me." Titania took Ella from Zu Wan's arms.
Zu Wan knew that Titania was referring to changing his clothes. With that thought in mind, he excused himself for a moment to take a quick shower.
*15 minutes later…*
Zu Wan finished bathing and came out of the bathroom. To his surprise, he bumped into someone as soon as he walked towards the wardrobe. It turned out Titania was inside the room, preparing his clothes.
Staring at each other for a moment, Titania gasped in admiration as Zu Wan's excellent physique was exposed to him. He was only wearing a towel in his lower half. His broad chest and eight-pack abs captivated her. A blush subconsciously crept over her face. Unknowingly, Titania moved closer to Zu Wan.
Zu Wan, on the other hand, stayed rooted in his spot, just watching Titania as she closed their gaps. Before he knew it, Titania already tiptoed, cupping his face while capturing his lips.
Titania kissed him passionately! She was not able to control her urge to kiss Zu Wan. The longing and desire deep inside her heart gave her the courage to do this.
Her lips were warm and sweet on his. Zu Wan couldn't help himself from responding to her. His hand moved at her back, holding her waist in place while pulling her closer to his body. Zu Wan deepened the kiss further!
