Chapter 296: The Background of Esmee Perry_1

Claudia Ross and Esmee saw that Claudia's foot was in the ice bucket and didn't know what was going on, they just thought it was fun.

The two also took off their shoes and socks, dipped their tiny feet in to poke around, "So cold," they quickly withdrew, poked again, and retracted once more, giggling as they played.

Wyatt Perry found the two little ones to be in the way, so he sent them off to tend the barbecue fire, successfully getting rid of the two "big light bulbs."

The bathroom finally became quiet, with only their careful, delicate breathing.

His hand held Claudia's foot in the ice bucket, his eyes tender as he gazed at her, "Does it feel any better?"

"Mm."

Claudia Ross looked down at her ankle, which had clearly become less swollen.

Wyatt's hand seemed to possess a magical power to take away the pain; she now only felt comfortable as his fingertips brushed her skin.

The bathroom window faced the backyard, and the laughter and chatter of the children drifted in.
