The towel and water bottle dropped to the floor. Jennie wrapped her arms around Lisa's neck, not at all minding his sweaty body. Before she knew it, she was already hanging all over him with her legs wrapped around his waist.

They continued to kiss as if easing their thirst from each other's mouths. Their moist, slightly swollen lips only separated when Jennie couldn't breathe properly anymore.

Lisa sucked his wife's neck, leaving a deep red mark on her smooth skin. She had many similar marks on her body ever since she retreated from the public eye due to her pregnancy. He took advantage of the situation and left as many hickeys on many parts of her body as he could.

"Two more weeks," he panted.

"Actually, I think I've recovered enough...."

"No." His response was swift despite the temptation. "Let's follow the doctor's recommendations. It's safer for you this way."

Jennie sighed and nibbled on his ear. She smiled when his body tensed.

The husband and wife continued teasing each other inside the gym. They only stopped when Jennie's breasts started to feel too full and too heavy. It was time to feed the twins, or if they were already fed, then to pump milk.

Lisa lowered her feet to the floor before turning around and inviting her for a piggyback ride. She giggled and readily jumped on his back.

After a quick shower together (and another round of naughty teasing), Jennie and Lisa headed to the nursery room where Chitthip and the others had been taking care of their twins.

"We already bottle-fed my grandsons," Chitthip told them.

"Thank you, Mother." Jennie smiled.

"My pleasure, my dear."

The relationship between Jennie and her mother-in-law became closer during the confinement. Chitthip had been strict on Jennie regarding the confinement rules but Jennie never felt like she was being controlled by her mother-in-law. Jennie understood that Chitthip only cared about her health and proper recovery, hence the strictness.

It was also because Lisa had been able to persuade his mother that many of the so-called confinement rules were too outdated.

Chitthip wasn't a stubborn one who would insist on following old traditions all the time. She understood that her generation was different from the current one. After her talk with his son, she remained strict on her daughter-in-law but not too strict as to create disharmony between them.

Why would she fight with her daughter-in-law?

Chitthip would be stupid if she acted like a stereotypical evil mother-in-law.

Her eldest son fell so hard in love with his wife. If given a choice between his mother and wife, Chitthip knew in her heart that her son would choose his wife hands down over her, the mother. As a mother, it hurt. But what could she do? Compete with her daughter-in-law? She was also a Madam Manoban. That was something beneath her level.

Besides, her daughter-in-law was a certified genius like Chitthip's late father-in-law, Grandfather Manoban, and of course Grandpa.

For Chitthip, her eldest son was already so lucky to marry such a wonderful and amazing wife. In fact, she loved Jennie like her own daughter, not just as the wife of her eldest son.

Now that Jennie had given birth to the next generation of their Manoban family, Chitthip loved her even more.

"I know that you've already completed your confinement but you still need to take it easy," Chitthip reminded her daughter-in-law. "You've given birth to twins. It takes longer for you to recover completely."

"I understand, Mother," Jennie assured her. "Please don't worry."

Chitthip turned to her son next and told him in a stern tone, "And you, son. Control yourself, okay? Don't torment your tired wife just to ease your physical needs."

"En." Lisa nodded, his expression sincere.

Jennie chuckled. "Don't worry, Mother. Lisa isn't tormenting me. Actually, I might be the one tormenting him."

Lisa's gaze on his wife was sticky as always.

"Hai, you two!" Chitthip shook her head but couldn't stop herself from smiling.

To be honest, she was relieved that the relationship between the husband and wife seemed to be doing well. In fact, as far as she could see, it was doing so much better than before.

She had witnessed many couples in their social circles (many of them arranged by their respective families) drifting apart after the birth of their children. Either the husband lost interest in his wife sexually and found a mistress outside to satisfy his physical needs or the wife refused to be touched anymore because she had already fulfilled her duty of giving birth to an heir.

This kind of situations were actually quite common in high society. Chitthip was glad that her eldest son found his true love.

"Alright, I'll take my leave now so that your little family can spend time together without a nosy old woman like me."

Jennie was quick to refute her mother-in-law's claim. "Mother, what are you saying? You're not old at all."

"I am getting old, my dear."

"I'll send you more anti-aging Orchidia Beauty products."

Chitthip chuckled but didn't refuse the offer. "Then I'll give you my thanks."

After Chitthip left, Jennie and Lisa watched over their sleeping twins. Lily was guarding her baby brothers as usual. Leo was nowhere in sight. He was probably with his human cousin, Little Jun.

Levi was a restless sleeper. He would shift every now and then. Sometimes he would even accidentally hit or kick his eldest feline sister, Lily, while dreaming. Good thing that he was still tiny and couldn't hurt Lily yet.

"I now know who've been kicking inside your belly all the time back then," Lisa commented while observing his eldest human son's bad sleeping habits.

In contrast, Liam who resembled his father the most was actually like his mother when it came to sleeping—a deep sleeper. Once he slept in one position, he would remain in the same position until he woke up.

Jennie smiled.. Her maternal brain had already turned those rather painful memories into something precious and beautiful.
