The room fell into a comfortable quiet as Lumi perched herself on Alex's lap, nibbling on the chocolate. Her small frame leaned against him while his two wives, Amelia and Brittany, chatted softly at the table. The peaceful atmosphere felt like a rare moment of calm amidst their usually busy lives.
Alex, however, broke the silence as his gaze shifted to Brittany. "You came all the way here just for chocolates," he said, his tone light but tinged with curiosity. "Or is there something else on your mind?"
Brittany's expression shifted slightly, and she straightened in her chair. "Actually... yes," she admitted, her voice carrying a more serious tone now. "There's something important I need to talk to you about."
Alex raised an eyebrow, resting a hand idly on Lumi's shoulder as he waited for her to continue. Amelia, sensing the change in mood, stopped speaking and turned her attention fully to Brittany.
"What is it?" Alex asked, his voice calm but focused.
