Chapter 1095:

Kallie burrowed deeper into Jake’s arms, cocooned by his warmth, determined to reclaim the drowsy sleep that was slipping away. Just as sleep began to pull Kallie back under, a mischievous pinch landed on her cheek.

Her eyelids fluttered—half irritation, half surrender—while Jake chuckled, amused by her reaction.

With a huff and a sharp swat at his hand, Kallie turned her back on him, stubbornly signaling that his antics were no match for her resolve to savor a few more moments of rest.

Jake leaned in, his breath warm against Kallie’s ear as he whispered, “Stop dozing off. Your daughter’s been up for a while, and who knows what kind of trouble she’s causing now.”

Kallie’s eyes flew open, the remnants of her sleepiness dissolving. She shifted to sit up.

“Elma’s awake? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Jake chuckled, his arms snugly wrapped around her waist, refusing to budge. As she tried to rise, his hold pulled her off balance, causing her to tumble back against his chest.

Frustrated, Kallie bit his shoulder—a sharp but harmless nip. Jake let out a muffled grunt, his expression unreadable, yet he made no move to release her.
