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 .
