Chapter 159 Too Soon

• *Sylvester's POV*
• Stradanie refused my company overnight, insisting that our boys would miss us if we stayed away. Despite my concern for her well-being—knowing she had been struggling with sleep lately—I knew I had no choice but to leave.
• I waited for her to drift off, my arm cradling her head while I gently rubbed her stomach. Before slipping out of bed, I placed a tender kiss on her temple and whispered sweet dreams.
