The Male Leads Are Trapped in My House

"Papa. Papaa… Louis, Louis is… really glad… to be born."

At that moment, Louis spoke as if he had read Ethan’s heart.

In the end, he couldn’t hold back the tears anymore.

After what felt like an eternity, Louis finally fell into a deep sleep.

Ethan gazed at the sky outside, now completely swallowed by night.

"Then go get some firewood."

Cecil obediently turned around and began gathering firewood.
