Hera and Tatiana were feeling a bit stuffed, so they went outside for a walk to help with digestion.
After several rounds of drinks, a tipsy Wilcox and Theo insisted on taking Nash to a bathhouse for a massage.
Stetson frowned slightly and said, "Theo, you've already settled down and have a business to run. Is that the kind of place you should be going to?" Wilcox rolled his eyes at his father. "What's the matter? Are you worried that our little Theo will find out about your secret?" "Shut up!" Stetson glared fiercely at Wilcox.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTheo immediately perked up. He placed a hand on Wilcox's shoulder and asked curiously, "What's Dad's secret, Wil? Tell me!" Wilcox's mouth curved into a grin, but just as he was about to speak, Stetson's eyes widened in anger. "If you dare to say anything, I'll break your legs..." Theo's eyes twinkled as he turned to his father and said, "Dad, it's not often that Nash visits. We should at least entertain him properly, right?" Stetson replied with a stern face, "Mr. Calcraft has many beautiful women around him. Why would he go to such a place?" Whether it was Hera, the Cricton family's eldest daughter, or the top celebrity, Sienna, each was a rare beauty.
He did not think Nash would be interested in a bathhouse massage.
Theo turned to Nash and asked, "Nash, do you want to go? Just for a simple massage!" Having been plied with a lot of alcohol by the three Schmidts, Nash was feeling a bit tipsy. Seeing Theo wink at him, he nodded. "A relaxing massage sounds good." Theo then looked at Stetson and said, "Did you hear that? Nash wants to go too!" Stetson sighed and pulled out his wallet. Taking out a black-gold membership card, he handed it over with a red face and said, "Use my card, but don't book masseuse number 12!" Theo burst into laughter. "I knew it, old man. You're not so innocent yourself!" It was no wonder Stetson didn't want them to go to the bathhouse; the old man enjoyed it too! Stetson cleared his throat. "I'm under a lot of pressure at work, and my neck isn't in good condition. Getting a massage helps with my recovery." Theo gave him a knowing look and said, "How about we all go together?" Stetson looked hesitant. "That's... probably not appropriate." Taking his sons to a bathhouse might damage his reputation if word got out.
Although the bathhouses were legitimate, the young female technicians there sometimes engaged in less-than-profeselconduct. Content belongs to en.kikistoriesAfter sinitial refusals, Stetson eventually succumbed to the persuasion of his two sons.
The four of them discreetly slipped out through the back door of the hotel.
Meanwhile, Hera and Tatiana strolled arm in arm through the night market.
The scent of street food filled the air, tempting them at every turn.
Hera patted her slightly rounded belly and said, "Tati, my baby is hungry again!" Since becoming pregnant, she had been avoiding street food for the sake of her baby's health.

Once the baby is ย Fl born and you're done healing, I take you to try all the street food in Antaria!" Content belongs to en.kikistoriesHera pouted. "That feels like it'll take forever!" "Hang in there. It'll pass soon enough," Tatiana said with a comforting smile. Just then, her phone vibrated in her bag.
Seeing that it was Lucille calling, she said, "My best friend is calling. Lettake this." "Tati, where are you?" "Remmingville Snack Street!" "Wow, out having fun without inviting me?" "Cjoin us! I'm at..." Tatiana looked at the stall in front and said, "We're at Antaria's Oldest Taco Stand, the one we did the one we used to at back in school!" Co eat x in school!" Content belongs en.kikistoriesJust after finishing the call, Tatiana saw that Hera was already seated at the taco stand.
"Miss, do you want it spicy?" the vendor asked.
"Just a little spicy," Hera replied.
She had smelled the taco aroma from a distance and knew she would not be able to sleep without having some.
