When the family went home, the children were tasked to sleep with their big sister Maya, and everyone knew what it meant.

"Mwamaaaaaa!"

"Gooooggmmmaaaammmm!"

The babies were naturally not reconciled. They want to sleep with their soft mum!!!

The babies cried, their plump cheeks puffier and redder than usual, and their rounded eyes were lined with tears.

The adults’ hearts broke, especially Althea’s.

Garan’s too, of course, and he pondered whether to pass on his much-awaited private night with his wife.

He pitied his brother below, but the children would come first.

Fortunately, he got an idea, which might help distract the kids long enough that they’d temporarily forget about sleeping with their mum.

He raised both of his hands, with palms upward. Suddenly, energy condensed in them, and everyone gaped when he created two thin metal bases with indentions, one on each hand.

Not only the babies, but even the adults were fascinated with the process.

From this base, strands of metal formed into the shape of what would eventually become a close-up shot of Althea, showing her beautiful smiling face from the shoulder up. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

"It’s only temporary, but it should do for a while," he said, handing over the new toys to the babies. They had stopped crying as soon as a strand of metal floated gracefully to create something even more beautiful. Now, their rounded eyes were staring at it with curiosity.

Harold, who was holding Meatball, leaned down to take a closer look. "Wow… this is amazing," he said. "I’ve never seen such expert work—especially not in such a short time."

Sheila, who was holding Pepper, nodded in agreement. "I know of other metal users, but I don’t think anyone could make such intricate ones."

They didn’t know it yet, but it’d also last far longer than others’ temporary metallic creations.

Anyway, Garan definitely showed off his expertise. Of course, it could also be his desperation to get alone time with his wife, so there was that.

Anyway, this successfully calmed down the babies, whose little hands were gripping their new toys. The couple could finally excuse themselves after giving each baby a kiss on the cheek, though Garan couldn’t wait and he carried her on his shoulder and straight back to the room.

…

Althea was first led to the bathroom, shed off her clothing in record time. She liked taking baths before going to bed, so Garan would ’assist’ her so they could go about with their nightly activities faster.

However, while she sat snugly in the bathtub, using her husband’s large body as a backrest, she realized that Garan took special focus on washing her hand—rubbing the back of her hands with his calloused fingers a lot longer than other parts of her body (at least for now).
