Jonathan had fully realized that Samantha was genuinely upset this time. It was best for him to avoid aggravating her further. His situation was a classic case of self-inflicted suffering. Now, he had to carefully placate his mother, devise ways to win back his wife, diligently care for his daughter, and responsibly manage his son. Surely, there couldn't be a man more burdened than him.
With this thought in mind, he resigned himself to his fate and walked over to Josie, who was sitting on the bed with her big, dark eyes watching the three adults. He bent down and gently kissed her.
"My little princess, have you missed Daddy?"
"Hmm…"
Josie pouted and gave his fresh cheek a kiss. Jonathan's heart melted at the touch. Previously, with only Agente around, he had never experienced such a deep, heartfelt warmth and affection. Josie made him want to give her the whole world.
