They sat clustered on his bed, their bright eyes wandering curiously around the unfamiliar space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yinny tugged at his sleeve.Father Odian, why did you bring us here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll be sleeping in my room tonight,\" Odian said gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didi tilted their head, puzzled.Why? Where’s Mother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could answer, Nina stepped in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, little ones, time for bed. Lie down nicely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they saw her, the children obediently settled under the covers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as their mother was there, it didn’t matter where they slept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odian smiled faintly, and together, he and Nina soothed them to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in Nina’s room, Mino waited, both nervous and full of anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept replaying everything Ming had taught him, afraid he might mess up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the children were asleep, Nina returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mino stood up immediately, hands clenched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina... are the children asleep?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\" She walked over and sat on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mino moved closer, wrapping his arms around her from behind, resting his chin lightly on her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina... am I dreaming?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Happiness swelled in his chest, so overwhelming it felt unreal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina laughed softly and leaned back into him, returning the embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not. It’s all real.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held her tighter, a shy warmth coloring his voice. \"Nina... it’s my first time. If I don’t do well... please don’t be upset.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips brushed softly against her pale neck. \"I’ll learn...

Do you want to sleep a little longer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at her with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night before, he had lost himself a little—she hadn’t rested much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s get up. I’m a little hungry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright—I’ll help you get dressed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mino quickly rose, carefully helping her with her clothes, then carried her to wash up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they came out, Odian and the others had already prepared breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been waiting—only starting once Nina arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina, you’re up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ming walked over, carrying the little one in his arms. The moment he saw the mark on Mino’s forehead, satisfaction flickered in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good. The brat didn’t disappoint.Now he could finally rest easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina, this is a small gift for your bonding,\" Ming said warmly, handing over a large pouch of beast crystals. \"I didn’t bring much while traveling—just a token. I hope you won’t mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, you don’t have to—\" Nina began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina,\" Ming interrupted with a smile, \"you should call me Father now. It’s just a small gesture. Don’t be polite with your own family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed the pouch into her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mino glanced at it—there were quite a few high-grade crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least Father isn’t being stingy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Alright then.\" Nina accepted it, a little embarrassed. \"Thank you, Father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah—good, good!\" Ming’s smile widened at the word. \"After breakfast, could you teach me how to braid her hair? She keeps saying mine looks ugly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. After I eat, we’ll do her hair together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Taru and Aron watched enviously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When will we get to hear her call us Father...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They each shot their own sons a glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Useless brats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taru turned to Didi for comfort—at least he still had a grandchild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron, on the other hand, could only roll his eyes at Yanai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only he had a grandchild too...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didi finished drinking milk and toddled out into the courtyard. Taru quickly followed to keep them company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few days together—and with daily gifts—Didi had finally warmed up to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Nina finished eating, she went with Ming to braid the little one’s hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mino stood nearby, watching closely. He wanted to learn too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lex lingered off to the side, quietly observing as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps one day, he would be able to help too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, his role was simple: to provide seawater for her every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merfolk rested their chins in their hands, gazing at Nina and the child with dreamy admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life like this... is truly wonderful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, Aron dragged Yanai into the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—practice your cooking properly,\" he ordered. \"Look at Mino. Learn from him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I know.\" Yanai glanced at the mark on Mino’s forehead, a flicker of envy passing through his eyes. \"I’ll work hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Mino could do it, so could he.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And desserts. Nina likes sweets—learn those well too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron had already gathered information about Nina’s preferences the day before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shoved a large basket of eggs into Yanai’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finish all of these today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanai stared at the overflowing basket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, silently, he steeled himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Nina... I’ll do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, he began practicing with determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, Aviel dragged Linny back into a room, pressing him for strategies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kith and Finch were no less diligent—one focused on making shoes, the other on sewing clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one dared fall behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At noon, Nina lay down for a nap with the children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slept on her side, while the little ones sprawled in all directions across the bed, a chaotic yet peaceful scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanai slipped out and returned not long after, carrying a large bouquet of wildflowers in every shade imaginable, their fragrance soft and sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing Nina was resting, he entered quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He arranged the flowers carefully in a vase, adjusting each stem until it formed a pleasing shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the room was filled with a gentle floral scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even after finishing, he couldn’t bring himself to leave. His gaze drifted toward Nina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One look—and he couldn’t look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lashes were long. Her nose delicate. Her lips... Full. Soft. Radiant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes darkened slightly. His throat tightened. His heartbeat quickened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if drawn by something irresistible, he leaned in slowly, unable to stop himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to touch her, something round came hurtling toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It smacked straight into his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught completely off guard, Yanai staggered back, clutching his aching nose and cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at the culprit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brat... was it you last time too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The egg wiggled defiantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes. And what about it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big bad wolf—stay away from my mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it rolled right up in front of Nina, planting itself protectively between them as if ready to launch another attack at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>",1149,"2026-06-03T08:29:56.682Z","2026-06-03T08:30:03.515Z",1,"novelbin.me","83d73d1077e66afd6245a205abe1642d34bc6e673c0f38c6462d43bcf7e04ada","after-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-chapter-158","after-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-chapter-156",299,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-cover.jpg"]
