Chapter 1960 - Shen Luo’an Had Never Truly Seen Me as a Human Being
The 99th Divorce
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shen Manting hadnât had a full meal in a really long time.
It was too expensive to stay in the hospital.
She only stayed there for a few days before her estimated due date, and sheâd had to skimp and save to conserve her savings during her stay in order to have enough money to raise the baby.
Which was why she didnât dare to eat to her heartâs content or buy anything of high quality.
Sheâd already planned for the worse. If she couldnât afford to raise the baby, sheâd marry an older man.
She had to put her child first, no matter what.
Little did she expect that Shen Luoâan would show up.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As Shen Manting ate her food, she suddenly felt a little upset.
With her head bowed, she drank her last spoonful of soup before standing up and saying, âIâm full. Call me when youâre done with your meal, and Iâll clean up. Iâll go look after the baby first.â
Shen Luoâan looked up at her, and with one glance, he saw that Shen Mantingâs eyes were slightly red.
He didnât say anything, and merely watched her as she walked back into the room.
Shen Manting wiped her eyes before looking over at her son.
His face was tiny, and his features had yet to develop fully, but she could tell he greatly resembled Shen Luoâan.
She gently pinched his tiny hands, and her lips curled up into a faint smile.
âI bought powdered milk. Thereâs also diapers in the cabinet.â Shen Luoâanâs voice could be heard from outside the room, along with the sound of his footsteps. âIâll be outside. Call me if you canât handle something and need help.â
He stood by the door and watched her. âI know youâre afraid of me. Iâll sleep in the living room tonight.â
Shen Manting felt her heart pound in her chest when she heard the few simple words that Shen Luoâan said.
The strange feeling sheâd felt earlier surfaced again.
She looked at Shen Luoâan and nodded her head.
Shen Luoâan gazed at her for a very long time and looked as if he wanted to say something, but he didnât speak.
After he looked at her for some time, he turned around and walked away.
He even closed the door behind him.
Shen Manting opened the cabinet to take a look, and it was filled with paper diapers from good brands.
Her heart ached slightly as she silently began counting its cost in her head.
She opened the cabinet next to it, and it was filled with powdered milk.
The powered milk tin was gold, and it was a German brand. She could tell with one glance that it was really expensive.
Shen Manting suddenly felt a little tempted.
These were all things she couldnât afford.
But Shen Luoâan could.
âIf the baby lived with Shen Luoâan, at the very least heâd be able to live and eat well and wouldnât have to struggle like he would if he lived with me...â she thought. âBesides, Shen Luoâan and the Old Madam really want this baby.â
She looked over at the little baby, who was fast asleep on the bed, and her eyes darkened.
âYes. They want this baby, but they donât want me. No matter how nicely they act now, itâs just a means to get the child from me.â
âOnce I hand the baby over, I might be given a sum of money.â
âOr maybe... maybe Iâll face endless torture and rape from Shen Luoâan.â
âHe loved Ye Youyou, but he married Guan Queye, yet he spent every single night with me.â
âShen Luoâanâs never seen me as a human being. He just sees me as a tool to satisfy his lust.â
âNow, Ye Youyou is with Li Jinnan, and Guan Queye committed suicide.â
âCoincidentally, Iâm also pregnant, so Shen Luoâan sunk his demonic claws into me...â
Shen Manting instantly became alert, and she sat up straight.
âI canât be tricked by him!â she thought. âHe isnât human! I donât even believe heâll genuinely treat the child well!â
Shen Mantingâs heart thumped hard against her chest in anger, and she suddenly felt the sense of relief one feels after having nearly escaped disaster.
âI almost fell for his trap!â she thought.
Shen Manting lay down in bed again, but she didnât at all feel like she was able to sleep anymore.
