Shen Luo’an 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 Manting’s 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 Luo’an 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 Luo’an patted her gently on the back and whispered softly, “Don’t think too much . Just go to sleep . ”
“Okay . ”
Shen Manting closed her eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep .
Shen Luo’an 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 Manting’s body was sore all over when she awoke . She sat up in bed and stretched .
When she turned around, she saw Shen Luo’an looking at her .
His amber eyes were clear and serene .
Shen Manting was startled by his gaze .
She recoiled a little, blushing .
“Good morning, honey . ”
“Good morning,” Shen Luo’an 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 .
She came out of the bathroom after washing up and saw Shen Luo’an dressing the child .
When Shen Yuexiao saw Shen Manting, he grinned and shouted, “Mommy!”
Shen Manting walked over to the boy and patted his head . “Good boy . ”
The child was delighted . He threw his arms open wide and cuddled up to Shen Manting . “I want a hug, Mommy . ”
Shen Manting crouched down and carried him in her arms . “Let’s go for breakfast . ”
“Okay!” Shen Yuexiao wrapped his arms around Shen Manting’s neck happily .
Shen Luo’an was pleased to see both mother and son enjoying each other’s company . He reminded her, “Little Moon hasn’t brushed his teeth yet . Let him brush his teeth first . ”
Shen Manting was surprised . “He has already started brushing his teeth? He’s still so little!”
“Of course he has to brush his teeth . His gums will hurt less when he’s teething . ” Shen Luo’an touched the tip of her nose . “It’s better to instill good habits in children since young . ”
“I see . ” Shen Manting was holding the child . “Let’s go . Does he know how to brush his teeth?”
“I know!” Little Moon piped up eagerly . “I know how to brush my teeth, Mommy!”
Shen Manting was impressed . The doctors in the family had taught him well!
She carried him into the bathroom . “Go ahead, then . ”
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, “I need to pee . ”
Shen Manting stiffened and looked at him .
Little Moon puckered his lips and repeated, “I need to pee, Mommy . ”
Shen Manting was at a loss . She turned to face Shen Luo’an and pleaded, “Honey, our child needs to pee . ”
Shen Luo’an chuckled when he saw her looking helpless .
He took the child from her and said, “Go ahead and have breakfast . I’ll settle the child . ”
“Okay,” Shen Manting answered and turned around, feeling warm from the inside . “I’ll wait for you then . ”
“All right . Shen Luo’an’s gaze softened . He promptly carried the child into the bathroom .
