Too Late To Love Me I Already Left With His Twins (Lydia and Dave) novel Chapter 220

Not for him.

And definitely not for me.

By the time I finally got the twins upstairs and tucked into bed, the house had gone quiet again.

Not peaceful quiet.

Thinking quiet.

The kind of quiet that happens after emotions have moved through a room and left traces behind.

Eli was still asking questions while climbing into bed.

“So technically if adults are emotionally immature,” he said seriously while adjusting his blanket, “should they even be allowed to marry?”

Ava groaned immediately from the other bed.

“Oh my God, Eli, sleep.”

“No, because this is important.”

I pinched the bridge of my nose tiredly.

“It is literally bedtime.”

“But mum-

“Goodnight, Elijah.”

That means yes.”

“Goodnight.”

Ava was already laughing into her pillow while Eli looked deeply victorious with himself.

Honestly?

Sometimes I genuinely wondered how one child could possess that much audacity naturally.

I switched off the bedside lamp after kissing both their foreheads.

“Sleep.”

“Okay,” Ava murmured softly.

Eli pointed at me dramatically.

“We are continuing this conversation tomorrow.”

“No, we are not.”

“Yes, we are.”

“No.”

“Dictatorship.”

I closed the door before he could continue speaking.

Immediately the hallway silence hit me differently.

Rude
