Chapter 1183 - Too bad that the time is not right, or else…

“Fine, fine, fine. Since our precious baby doesn’t wanna see me, I can only go home with a broken heart and sleep!”

She pretended to leave.

However, before her butt could separate from the bed, the little fella, who had turned his head away from her and was ignoring her, quickly whipped his head around and jumped.

“Don’t leave!”

He stood up on the bed and rushed into her arms, his arms tightly wrapping around her neck as he hung on her like a koala.

“Mommy, you can’t leave! You can’t!”

She lifted her arms upon seeing how nervous he looked and how tightly he was hugging her.

“Look at you; you’re a mess from crying.”

She lightly caressed his head, feeling her heart ache upon noting how red his eyes were.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Sigh... No matter how unhappy you are, you can’t cry like that...”

She lightly wiped the tears on his face while she spoke.

“I-I thought mommy doesn’t want me anymore...”

He pouted his lips sadly as his red and swollen eyes started moistening again.

His pitiful look prompted her to hug him tightly.

“Don’t cry anymore... You’re so cute and adorable, so how can anyone bear to leave you...”

She gently patted his back while speaking.

“Wu... But you said that you don’t want to be my mommy...”

“Alright. Don’t cry anymore. I’ll really leave if you cry again.”

She released him from her embrace and gently wiped his new tears.

“Wuuu! I won’t cry anymore!”

The little fella quickly retracted his tears upon hearing that.

“That’s my good boy!”

She rubbed his head again upon spotting his tears, then carried him, and stood up from the bed.

“Alright. Let’s go take a shower! Look at how dirty your face is!”

The child’s cheeks reddened when he heard that she was bringing him to shower.

“D-Do I have to take a shower?”

“Of course, yes, you little crybaby.”

The boy was so ashamed that he instantly buried his head into her neck.

“Pfft! You’re feeling shy now? Didn’t you say that I’m your mommy? What is there to be shy about for a mother to bathe her baby?”

His adorable actions prompted her to tease him in amusement.

“Mommy is shameless!” muttered the boy in his cute voice.

She patted his head, amused, before carrying him into the washroom.

After undressing him, she checked the water temperature and then placed the boy in the bathtub.

“Come; let’s clean up before going to bed.”

After she was done showering the child, she helped him into his pajamas, then carried him out of the washroom and back to bed. It was then that she noticed that the bedsheets had been changed.

“Alright. Now, it’s time for us to sleep.”

She placed him on the bed gently.

The child’s eyes widened as he tilted his head, asking curiously, “Mommy, aren’t you gonna ask why I was crying?”

“Pfft! Then, you tell me why you cried.”

She regarded his wide-eyed look with amusement and chuckled.

“I want you to become my mommy, so I cried!”

His wide and innocent eyes stared straight at her, but the words he said made her not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Because of that? I thought you cried because you were mad at me.”

“Mhm! It’s also a little of that!”

He blinked his large eyes and pouted. “So, mommy, you can’t make me angry next time!”

“You little fella, that’s what I should be saying! You can’t do this again. You can’t solve everything by crying.”

“Really? Each time I cry, although my daddy and mommy don’t care, my grandpa and grandma always agree to my every request.”

“Is that so? Then, what about this time? When you said that you want me to be your mommy, did your grandpa and grandma agree?”

“No...”

The child and adult lay in bed, chatting comfortably. There was no sign of Ji Chi having cried so badly that he almost ran out of breath earlier.

“Mommy, can you tell me a bedtime story?”

“Okay. A long time ago...”

...

“Hubby... why do you think our grandson likes Miss Regina so much?”

After returning to their room, Madam Ji lay in the huge bed and thought of their grandchild’s incomprehensible actions recently.

Even though her grandson was frightened from that fall, the shadow from that should not last this long!

“Just look at how that boy keeps calling her mommy so smoothly; he even appears closer to her than his actual biological mother.”

Mister Ji lightly hummed in reply while pondering on it as well.

“Indeed. That rascal is so affectionate and obedient to anyone, but he’s as stubborn as his father. A normal person won’t be able to earn his affections this easily. That lady has only known him for a few days, yet he’s practically attached at the hip to her.”

“Hey! It’s not just your precious grandson who is close to her; even your son is! That pair of father and son really has the same taste!” She could not help but give this snarky comment.

“Mhm. That rascal son of ours does treat her differently.”

“Sigh... If not for us already having Jingwan, I’d really raise both hands to support our grandson’s choice of a mother. Still, how could we kick out Jingwan now after she’s waited for our son for so long?”

She sighed in lamentation and helplessness.

She wanted to find the most suitable woman for her son and grandson, too, but...

“Forget it. Everyone in our family has their fate. Plus, Miss Regina already has a family of hers.”

“That’s true...”
