She gulped down her food in a rush and hurried back into the room.

The infant had fallen asleep after taking the medicine.

Shen Manting stood beside the crib and stared at the sleeping infant’s serene face. Her lips curled in a contented smile.

She never tired of staring at the infant’s delicate, tender face.

She caressed his little hands and face from time to time. She even thought that his fetal hair looked adorable.

She finally sat down after standing by the crib for a long time.

Being a mother was a joyously gratifying experience.

If it wasn’t for Shen Luo’an, maybe her life would have turned out differently.

But it was already too late.

From the moment she agreed to follow Mrs. Shen home, she was destined to live an extraordinary life.

She checked the time. The infant had been sleeping for over an hour. Judging from his usual routine, he would be waking from his nap soon.

She immediately went to boil some water to be mixed with the milk powder. As if on cue, the infant woke up crying right after she had prepared the milk.

Shen Manting looked at him and heaved a sigh of relief.

She tested the temperature of the milk to make sure it was suitable to drink. Then, she set it aside and picked up the infant.

She gave the milk bottle to the infant. Within seconds, the infant stopped crying and grasped the bottle with his tender hands, sucking the milk eagerly.

Shen Manting’s heart ached as she watched the infant gulp down the milk.

Back when she had just left her baby, her breasts were painfully swollen with milk.

Every day, she imagined herself cradling her baby as he suckled on her breasts for milk.

For over half a month, she had been fantasizing about breastfeeding her child.

Her yearning only started fading when she began traveling with the little savings she had left while working casual jobs to support herself.

However, she couldn’t resist coming back to work at the encouragement of the recruiting department.

The decision to return here to work made Shen Manting feel increasingly guilty inside.

The infant finished his milk and stared at Shen Manting with his bright, round eyes.

His tender feet were fidgeting about. He glanced up at Shen Manting and extended his small fists.

For some unknown reason, he suddenly broke into a grin.

Shen Manting’s heart melted at the sight of his delicate gums.

Shen Manting teased the infant in her arms and changed his diapers. She felt very sleepy after that.

She checked the time. It was already past 9 p.m.

Time flew by without her realizing. Shen Luo’an had yet to return home.

Shen Manting wondered about him for a while and sat on the bed with her baby in her arms.

Both the adult and the infant were staring into each other’s eyes.

Shen Manting felt like a fool, but she enjoyed every second of it.

All of a sudden, the door opened.

Shen Manting was startled by the sudden movement.

She stood up at once, frightening the infant.

He opened his mouth and appeared close to tears.

Shen Luo’an noticed the way Shen Manting looked at him, as if she was facing an enemy. He felt a stabbing pain in his heart.

His expression looked gloomy. He asked, “How’s the baby doing?”

“The baby’s fine.” Shen Manting tried to calm herself down. She lowered her head and added, “He has been behaving himself.”

“All right,” Shen Luo’an replied as he was about to instinctively close the door.

However, he stopped halfway.

He glanced at Shen Manting and eventually decided to leave the door open. “I’ll take a bath first,” he said.

“All right.” Shen Manting couldn’t stop panicking with the infant in her arms.

They were alone again… in his room.

It felt like a year ago, the time when nothing had happened between them yet.

“Wait.”

Shen Manting suddenly spoke. “I… I’ll sit in the living room with the baby. Come out when you’re done.”

Shen Luo’an felt a stab in his heart and his lips suddenly felt tense.

He went into the bathroom and slammed the door close without a word.
