Shen Luoâan stiffened as he listened to her.
His heart ached for her as he looked at her face.
The lights in the room were dimmed, yet he could sense the tears trickling down Shen Mantingâs face.
Her current self is a stark contrast to her past self.
Both were worlds apart.
The former Shen Manting curled her lips in a distorted smile when she cried.
But now, she let her vulnerable side show as she cried.
She had changed.
Shen Luoâan silently held her in his arms.
Shen Manting leaned in closer, wrapped her arms around him, and snuggled up to him.
She smelled the faint scent of body wash on him.
She felt warm in his embrace.
Shen Luoâan patted her gently on the back and whispered softly, âDonât think too much. Just go to sleep.â
âOkay.â
Shen Manting closed her eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Shen Luoâan felt a throbbing pain in his heart as he held her close.
He closed his eyes, but his mind was restless. He had trouble falling asleep.
Night soon turned into day.
Shen Mantingâs body was sore all over when she awoke. She sat up in bed and stretched.
When she turned around, she saw Shen Luoâan looking at her.
His amber eyes were clear and serene.
Shen Manting was startled by his gaze.
She recoiled a little, blushing.
âGood morning, honey.â
âGood morning,â Shen Luoâan replied with a smile.
Shen Manting immediately climbed out of bed and headed for the bathroom.
She closed the door. Her heart was fluttering with joy.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She came out of the bathroom after washing up and saw Shen Luoâan dressing the child.
When Shen Yuexiao saw Shen Manting, he grinned and shouted, âMommy!â
Shen Manting walked over to the boy and patted his head. âGood boy.â
The child was delighted. He threw his arms open wide and cuddled up to Shen Manting. âI want a hug, Mommy.â
Shen Manting crouched down and carried him in her arms. âLetâs go for breakfast.â
âOkay!â Shen Yuexiao wrapped his arms around Shen Mantingâs neck happily.
Shen Luoâan was pleased to see both mother and son enjoying each otherâs company. He reminded her, âLittle Moon hasnât brushed his teeth yet. Let him brush his teeth first.â
Shen Manting was surprised. âHe has already started brushing his teeth? Heâs still so little!â
âOf course he has to brush his teeth. His gums will hurt less when heâs teething.â Shen Luoâan touched the tip of her nose. âItâs better to instill good habits in children since young.â
âI see.â Shen Manting was holding the child. âLetâs go. Does he know how to brush his teeth?â
âI know!â Little Moon piped up eagerly. âI know how to brush my teeth, Mommy!â
Shen Manting was impressed. The doctors in the family had taught him well!
She carried him into the bathroom. âGo ahead, then.â
From now on, she was determined to learn how to fulfill her role as a mother.
Or more specifically, a responsible mother!
She was certain that the child was hers.
Otherwise, why would he bear such a close resemblance to her?
Furthermore, the child looked adorable to her. She had secured herself a son without having to endure the pain of childbirth. It was a deal.
Her train of thought was disrupted by the child calling out, âI need to pee.â
Shen Manting stiffened and looked at him.
Little Moon puckered his lips and repeated, âI need to pee, Mommy.â
Shen Manting was at a loss. She turned to face Shen Luoâan and pleaded, âHoney, our child needs to pee.â
Shen Luoâan chuckled when he saw her looking helpless.
He took the child from her and said, âGo ahead and have breakfast. Iâll settle the child.â
âOkay,â Shen Manting answered and turned around, feeling warm from the inside. âIâll wait for you then.â
âAll right. Shen Luoâanâs gaze softened. He promptly carried the child into the bathroom.
