Jiaojiao shook her head . “I’m not tired . I slept just now . Mommy, don’t go . ”
The girl’s eyes were fixated on Zhou Shuang, as though her mommy might run away at any time .
“Mommy isn’t leaving . ” Zhou Shuang held tightly on Jiaojiao’s hand . She consoled her and smiled . “I will bring Jiaojiao wherever I go in the future . I won’t leave Jiaojiao behind . ”
“No . ” Lu Yinan’s determined and confident voice interrupted their conversation . “After you gave birth . Our relationship was progressing before that . ”
Zhou Shuang knitted her eyebrows, and she was getting impatient . “Let’s not discuss that . Jiaojiao needs rest . ”
Lu Yinan glanced at Jiaojiao, indeed she still looked pale . He swallowed the words he wanted to say .
Stowing his hands inside his pockets, he turned around .
Jiaojiao spoke again . “Mommy sleep beside me . Daddy sleep here . Okay?”
She patted the two spaces on her left and right .
The space across Zhou Shuang was empty .
Lu Yinan turned around and gazed at his daughter . He had wanted to find an excuse to leave the room but he didn’t have the heart to .
He rounded the bed and slowly sat down .
It overjoyed Jiaojiao . “Daddy and Mommy together . ”
She held Zhou Shuang and Lu Yinan with her left and right hand, respectively . She was trying to pull their hands towards each other .
How many couples had maintained their marriage because of their children? And some lasted for the rest of their lives .
When a couple argued, the victim who had to endure would be their child who was beginning to understand .
Just like how Jiaojiao was trying her utmost effort to make them reconcile .
Lu Yinan and Zhou Shuang felt uncomfortable .
Zhou Shuang’s eyes were stinging with tears .
Lu Yinan laid on the bed as he stared at the ceiling soundlessly . Jiaojiao’s hand on his hand seemed to tug at his heart too .
How he wished he could rip Zhou Shuang to pieces .
Why did he, Lu Yinan, have to get entangled with Zhou Shuang? Since it can’t be unraveled, shouldn’t they continue to stay entangled?
He was going bonkers .
Zhou Shuang forgot when she had fallen asleep . She only knew that she woke up because she heard First and Third Lu’s voices .
They advanced towards the bed as they yelled ‘Jiaojiao’ and ‘Sister’ .
Zhou Shuang’s eyes fluttered open as she glanced toward the voices .
First and Third Lu right in front of her, while Lu Yinan’s mother stood behind them . She was smiling benignly at them .
Zhou Shuang hastily straightened her back . Lu Yinan was sleeping across her .
She glanced instinctively at the couch and saw the tall man lying there . He had curled up with a coat over his face .
“I boiled some soup . Have some . ”
Lu Yinan’s mother placed the container of soup on the table as she glanced at Zhou Shuang .
She opened the cover and Zhou Shuang caught a fragrant whiff . It was only then when Zhou Shuang realized that she was hungry .
Her stomach was rumbling .
“I’m not hungry,” she replied to Lu Yinan’s mother as she shook her head .
She pulled the blanket off of her and then walked towards the bathroom .
Lu Yinan’s mother nagged, “You will be left with skin and bones if you continue to go on a diet . ”
