When Darren came back in the evening, he was surprised to see Francesca and Zhou Xichen at his home. In fact, he was more so surprised by Zhou Xichen's presence than Francesca's. After all, Francesca often came over to his house to spend time with Xiu and Rowan but his father didn't get that chance since he lived in the Capital.
"I didn't expect to see you both here," said Darren.
He moved over to kiss Xiu's head and as he tried to take his son into his arms, Xiu turned away. "No way! How many times do I have to remind you? If you want to hold him, wash your hands first. You just came from outside. Do you know how many germs you can transfer to our son?"
Darren bowed his head before his wife, "Yes, my lady! I'll wash my hands first."
Both Francesca and Zhou Xichen laughed at him, "Your wife is really particular about this. She even placed a maid at the door to make sure to disinfect anyone who enters the house."
