My Dad Please C601 Chapter 601 Chapter 601 Halsey glanced at Dwight with curious eyes. "Are you not leaving night?" Dwight had just managed to calm Rachel down and sneak back home. He still had to leave, but only in the morning. There was a bit of tleft.
"Go back to sleep," Dwight said softly. "I'll leave after you're asleep." Halsey moved aside, patting the space beside her. "Then clie next to me. It's warm in here." Dwight climbed into bed, lying beside Halsey.
Her soft, delicate body pressed against his, her small head resting on his arm while her wide, dark eyes gazed up at him.
A wave of warmth washed over Dwight. He pulled Halsey into his embrace, holding her close.

"When did Maddy fall asleep?" Dwight asked quietly.
"She went to sleep around 10:00 PM. Before that, she was cramming for her exams. Her midterms start tomorrow, three days of testing. I'll take her to the exam hall in the morning, so don't worry about it." Halsey spoke calmly, reassuring him that everything was under control.
A small smile tugged at the corners of Dwight's lips. The scene before him felt like something out of the past-his parents' time. Herman used to handle the outside world, while Tina took care of everything at home. Herman was always busy, so Tina made sure the house was in order.
But Halsey wasn't obligated to do this for Dwight.
He couldn't step away from his circumstances right now, but Halsey had always been there for him.
Dwight looked at her, his voice low. "Halsey, I—" Halsey placed her hand gently over his lips.
"Shh, I've heard enough thanks already. Don't say anything more. Everything I do for you is because I want to. And besides, Maddy is so smart. I'm sure in ten years, she'll be successful, and I'll get to share in that success. It's an investment, really." Halsey's eyes sparkled as she smiled.
Dwight tightened his arms around her, pulling her closer. He leaned down and kissed the top of her head, his voice soft. "You're right." At that moment, Halsey tugged at his shirt, like a little puppy sniffing at him.
"What's wrong?" Dwight asked, a smile tugging at his lips.

A jolt of panic hit Dwight. He had been with Rachel all day; of course, he must have picked up her perfume. Halsey didn't know about his plans to marry Rachel yet.
She tilted her head up to look at him, her voice playful but firm. "Spill it, Dwight Whose perfis that?" Dwight hesitated and was about to tell her about the wedding. "Actually-" Halsey interrupted him. "It's Rachel's, isn't it? I knew you've been with her!" 1/2 Chapter 801
She pouted, her lips red and slightly putty. "I don't know why you I've that heard people say that you'le about to marry her.
