Lady Catherine's sincere words caused Julian to almost retreat into the water in embarrassment. He had been treating her body as a pillow... The very thought of it filled him with a sense of sin, and Julian instinctively wanted to leave, but Lady Catherine held him down by the shoulders, not letting him go.
"A shy child is cute, but you have to try to overcome it, or how will you ever grow up?" she said.
"I'm not small anymore!" Julian protested.
Hearing this, Lady Catherine's body instantly went soft, and a subtle impulse made her nearly slip and fall into the water. Of course, she knew... Julian was already very 'big' now.
Her bright lips twitched unnaturally as Lady Catherine forced a calm smile. "Of course I know my darling is very big," she said.
With half of his face submerged, Julian's mouth was constantly blowing bubbles in the water. He didn't express any opposition to Lady Catherine's words.
"But, I still want you to cuddle with your mommy as much as you want."
