“There were many times like this, right?” Adrian Zhekova asked.

Cindy Clarke tilted her head and thought for a moment without denying it: “Hmm, especially when he was a baby and couldn’t talk. He would cry when he was hungry and cry when he was sick and uncomfortable. It was hard to tell if he was hungry or not feeling well somewhere.”

“At first, I had no experience and thought he was hungry. But he wouldn’t eat and just kept crying. It broke my heart, so I hurriedly took him to the hospital. That’s when I found out he had a fever. Because he couldn’t talk, he could only express himself by crying.”

“He had fevers repeatedly, and I would have to watch him constantly since there was no one available to help. At that time, I indeed felt very tired and exhausted. But as long as I saw him healthy and happy, I felt it was all worth it.” Cindy smiled.

“From his birth to the present, can you tell me more about these things?” Adrian Zhekova suggested.

“Now? It’s late.’

“Mmhm.” Adrian Zhekova seemed not to notice how late it was.

So, Cindy reluctantly followed him to the living room.

She made some tea and told him about some of her past experiences taking care of Morgan.

Actually, talking about those moments now, Cindy didn’t feel tired at all.

But during those times, there were several moments when she felt like she couldn’t hold on anymore.

“From now on, I’ll be there.” Adrian Zhekova’s voice was slightly hoarse, and his gaze unconsciously fell deeply on Cindy’s face, “I won’t let you struggle like this again.”

Cindy’s heart stirred slightly, and she also felt an unprecedented sense of stability.

If anything happened to Morgan, Adrian would not sit idly by.

Even more so, Adrian had been actively paying attention to them, and as long as he wasn’t busy, he would come and check on them.

She wouldn’t have to carry the burden alone anymore.

Cindy had also considered the attitude of Morgan’s biological father.

She had thought about what would happen if, by chance, they really met Morgan’s biological father.

That person probably wouldn’t want to have anything to do with Morgan. In such a high-pressure society, Morgan, to that person, might just be a burden.

Although Cindy didn’t need the biological father to do anything for Morgan at all.

In her heart, it would be best if they were still strangers.

But she never expected Morgan’s biological father to be Adrian Zhekova, a man with a sense of responsibility and commitment.

Not only did he not try to take Morgan away, but he also actively shared the responsibility with her, fulfilling his duties as a father.

Even more, he respected her decisions, including not telling Morgan the truth for the time being.

Cindy’s throat seemed to be choked, and she couldn’t speak for a moment. She just stared dumbfoundedly at Adrian.

She didn’t know when, but Adrian’s face had gotten closer and closer to her.

By the time Cindy came to her senses, Adrian’s large face was already in front of her.

Not having time to think, Cindy instinctively held her breath.

Her trembling eyelashes closed, and her nervous gaze fell on his lips.

In the next second, they would touch.

Cindy’s heart was pounding wildly, as if it would leap out of her chest.

“Cindy.” A sweet, sleepy voice called out.

Suddenly, Cindy snapped out of the trance-like atmosphere.

She quickly pulled away from Adrian, distancing herself.

Just now… Did they almost kiss?

Cindy’s face was burning hot, as if she was being scorched by fire.

At this moment, she couldn’t say a word.

Instinctively, she raised her hand, her soft fingertips pressing against her lips..
