The Male Leads Are Trapped in My House

Cherry and Ethan remained at the department store while Ezra returned with the baby supplies.

From his seat on the lobby sofa, Alex kept glancing toward Ezra, who was looking after the baby.

Women had gathered around him—both mothers who had raised children before and younger women alike. He was ridiculously popular.

It was hard to tell if they were drawn in by the baby’s cuteness or if they were just admiring Ezra’s face.

With his sharp, feline-like eyes and the two teardrop-shaped beauty marks beneath them, Ezra always carried a cold, prickly aura.

His pale skin and the deep circles under his eyes, making him look perpetually exhausted, only added to that impression.

The decadent air about him made him seem unapproachable, steeped in an aura of gloom and danger.

And yet, there he was, cradling a newborn in his arms.

What’s more, he was holding the baby so carefully, as if it were the most precious thing in the world. It was such an ill-fitting sight.

But maybe that contrast was what stirred something in the women watching?

“He’s got quite the fan club.”

Donal, the camp leader, remarked as he carried a box of rations past the scene.

Alex, who was helping Nikolai check their weapons, just shrugged.

He shot a quick glance at Nikolai, who remained silent, focused solely on his task.@@novelbin@@

“But Lady Cherry and Sir Ethan are still inside the department store?”

Nikolai didn’t respond with words, only nodding. That was confirmation enough.

Hearing their conversation, Donal added his own thoughts.

“She should take this chance to shop a little and get some rest before coming back. She didn’t sleep a wink last night helping our camp.”

"Yeah. Even with that monstrous strength, she looked pretty unstable."

Alex recalled how Cherry had seemed on the verge of losing control.

Even while cutting monsters down, Ethan had kept checking on her.
