Reincarnated as a Fisherman and a Dad Chapter 118
"Maya, I love everything about you. It doesn't matter what skin color you have, I will always love you." He kissed her neck, which was tanned brown down to her cleavage, where the skin was noticeably whiter. Maya had uneven tan skin.
Her shoulders and arms were tanned from constant exposure to sunlight, while the skin usually protected by clothes had a lighter shade in contrast.
This uneven tan was one of her insecurities. If she were honest, she preferred having whiter skin. That way, she wouldn't be judged as someone poor by others. Skin color defined status for many.
But Karlos was different from most men. For him, skin color was not important at all. He loved Maya for who she was.
"But if you're going to choose, which do you prefer?" she asked.
"Your uneven tan skin is sexier, I'll always choose you," he answered.
Maya blushed at his words.
She felt ticklish as Karlos showered her with kisses, especially on certain parts of her body that made her react instinctively.
"Alright, alright, stop what you're doing. I said stop... stahppp~" she protested(?).
They had another round.
Maya was blessed to have Karlos, someone who loved her no matter what. That was the reason she was afraid someone would steal him away from her, hence her strong reaction earlier.
When she saw Claire flirting with Karlos and even giving him a drink and a towel right in front of her, Maya's vision darkened with anger.
The worst part was that Claire brought cold water and a towel, while Maya had only brought a towel. In her thoughts, she felt defeated, a feeling she could not accept.
After some cuddling and giggling between them, the couple went out of the bathroom. The heavy atmosphere from earlier was long gone. They loved each other so much that their quarrels never lasted long by nature.
Of course, Karlos was so affectionate and worried that he followed every order Maya gave without complaint.
"Dress me," she said.
"Alright." Karlos grinned mischievously, but Maya slapped his hand when he tried to do something funny.
"No funny business," she glared at him seriously.
She was being childish right now. She was no longer a child, yet she was still expecting her husband to dress her. Still, Karlos followed her order without hesitation.
When the couple came out of the bedroom, fresh from the shower, Maya was satisfied with Karlos's performance.
When they reached the dining room, the twins were already done eating. They were playing with their toys, entertaining themselves.
"Kids, did you miss Mama?" she asked.
"Mama!" they shouted.
Even though Maya had only been gone for about two hours, the twins still missed her. They happily approached her with their wobbly steps, hugging her thighs.
Such adorable kids. Maya loved them very much.
"You guys are done talking?" Mrs. Wanda asked.
She arrived carrying drinks and snacks for the couple.
"Yes, Mrs. Wanda," Maya answered, slightly shy and blushing from embarrassment. She knew what they had done in the room. It was more than just talking.
"That's good. I brought food for you. I'll contact young master Larry later. Do you have anything you want to say to him?" she asked.
After thinking it through, Mrs. Wanda agreed that Claire's behavior was intolerable. The fact that Claire admitted her bad intentions made Mrs. Wanda deeply disappointed. It seemed that the human heart was sometimes impossible to understand. People were greedy for things they couldn't obtain.
Instead of living an honest life and properly looking for a single man with a promising career, Claire ultimately chose the wrong path. Mrs. Wanda didn't want her in the villa anymore. They might have worked together for many years, but she understood what was right and what was wrong.
"Mrs. Wanda, you don't have to call Larry. I'll call Larry myself. This is our matter, and we should fix it ourselves. Please don't involve yourself in this trouble."
Karlos was worried that Mrs. Wanda might get reprimanded if she spoke to Larry about what had happened earlier. After all, she was the caretaker of the villa, and it was her responsibility to ensure that guests felt safe. Yet a maid had dared to seduce a guest under her care. Mrs. Wanda might even get fired because of it.
So it was better if Karlos handled it personally.
"Then I'll leave it to you. Thank you, Karlos." Mrs. Wanda smiled slightly in relief and returned to the kitchen.
"Do you have any requests for dinner?"
"Just a simple meal," Karlos answered.
"Do you need help, Mrs. Wanda?" Maya asked with concern, knowing that Mrs. Wanda was the only maid present in the villa at the moment.
"It's alright. You don't have to trouble yourself. I can take care of the dishes," Mrs. Wanda waved her hand in refusal.
Since the family had nothing else to do, Karlos took on the duty of playing with the twins.
Arabella and Iñigo giggled as they rode on their father's back while he neighed like a horse for fun.
"Howsey, howsey, go to the wiving woom," Arabella said cheerfully.
"Howsey yewhaaw!"
Iñigo was excited, tapping his father's back repeatedly, signaling him to walk on all fours toward the living room.
Karlos followed their commands. Arabella squealed as he moved slowly and carefully to the living room. The twins clung tightly to his back without fear, having the time of their lives as if they were riding a real horse.
Maya watched their interaction, her gaze lingering on Karlos, full of affection.
'... This might be a nice roleplay,' she thought.
Erm, she was thinking about something else.
The family continued playing until the sun went down. Foster arrived alone because Daisy stayed at the hospital to take care of Claire. They had already contacted Claire's relatives and informed them of her condition. They said they would arrive the next day, as they lived in another city and couldn't get there quickly due to the distance.
When the couple heard this, Karlos was reminded of his responsibilities. He called a time-out for the overly energetic kids and went back to the room to call Larry and settle the matter.
