Not long after, the little guy who was tired of playing finally went to sleep.
Stella gently put him on the bed and turned her head to look at Clarence next to her.
He met her gaze and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I thought about it. And what you said has a point,” she said.
He smiled slightly and was about to come over and carry the little one to Dolores when she added, “So
you can sleep on the sofa tonight.”
It was his turn to become speechless.
She did not even give him time to refuse, sat directly on the bed and turned off the light.
The room instantly got dim with only bright moonlight shining quietly on the floor through the window.
The little guy was sleeping soundly.
Soon he seemed to feel a bit too warm and kicked off the quilt on his body.
She pulled a corner of the quilt and covered his belly with it.
Lying on the bed, she looked at him silently.
Just staying with him like this was a great satisfaction for her.
She did not know when she fell asleep, and when she woke up again, she heard his babbling around.
Instantly, she wanted to sit up. However, before she could make a move, she felt a hand reaching out
behind her. Clarence patted the baby on the shoulder not too gently and whispered, “No crying.”
She did not know what to say.
Maybe shocked or comforted, after making a few indistinct sounds, the baby turned over to her and fell
asleep again.
She was silent for a few seconds and secretly felt amazed at the blood relationship.
How simple but marvelous!
Soon Clarence lay down again and habitually wrapped his arms around her waist.
In the dark, she smiled softly, closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
The next morning when she was still in a daze, she felt something moving around her hand.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw the little guy holding a small toy and playing there by himself.
Seeing her awake, he put down the toy and crawled over, touching her face. “Ma… Ma…”
She hugged him and kissed his little face. “Good morning, my dear.”
He giggled twice, as if he was responding to her words.
She thought he must be hungry since he was awake so early. So she was about to get up but was held
back.
She turned her head and whispered to Clarence, “Just go back to sleep. I will feed him first.”
He asked with tiredness in his voice, “What time is it?”
She slept in the middle of the bed with the baby on her right and Clarence on her left. And she did not
know where her phone was.
Looking at the sun that was still rising, she guessed, “It should be around seven or eight.”
At this time, the little guy crawled to Clarence, waving his little hand and slapping Clarence’s face
without hesitation. “Piggy!”
She got stunned with silence. Clarence also froze.
Then he opened his eyes and looked at the little boy with a trace of threat in his eyes.
The little guy seemed to have sensed the danger and quickly crawled back to her again, falling into her
arms directly.
She bit her lower lip, holding back her laughter, carried the boy and went out of the bedroom quickly.
After the door got closed, he slowly sat up, wincing.
The little guy hit him quite hard.
…
Downstairs in the kitchen, Dolores was already making breakfast. Seeing Stella come down with the
baby in her arms, she said, “Give the baby to me. You go back to sleep for a while more.”
Stella shook her head. “I went to bed early last night and rested well.”
She then added, “Ms. Anderson, you go rest and I will do it.”
Dolores said, “No need. Put him in his own dinning chair and play with him for a while. The eggs will be
ready in two minutes.”
Stella replied, “Okay.”
She turned around and walked out of the kitchen. Just as she put the little guy down, she heard
Archer’s voice from behind her, “Good morning.”
She looked to him and saw him sitting at the dining table with a heavy yawn. Obviously, he was still
quite sleepy.
She handed a small toy to the little guy and asked Archer, “Since you are so tired, why don’t you sleep
more?”
He replied with a drowsy face, “If I am late, I won’t have any food to eat.”
There was also a kitchen on the third floor for the doctors in the laboratory. They could have three
meals a day.
But he chose to come to Dolores every day for food. Dolores was fine with it. As long as he could come
on time, she would prepare food for him. Otherwise, he would not have anything to eat.
Stella had already known Dolores’ character well when they were at Anqiao Street.
She said, “I really didn't expect that you're the kind of guy who would get up early for a meal.”
“Your words are a bit harsh. Is this an ordinary meal? I come every day because Ms. Anderson’s
cooking is so good that I can’t miss even one meal,” he replied.
She was speechless.
When did he learn to flatter someone like this?!
At this time, Dolores came out from the kitchen. It seemed that she was used to seeing Archer here.
She put the steamed eggs for the little guy in front of Stella and said to Archer, “Don’t flatter me. Take
your bowl and get something to eat.”
He laughed, got up and said, “Okay.”
When Stella picked up the egg, the little boy sitting next to her already understood that it was time to
eat, so he put down his toy and waited obediently.
Noticing that the egg was still a little hot, she blew on it and then went for the bib.
She had just fed the little one a few bites of egg when Clarence came downstairs and sat next to her.
She asked, “Why are you up?”
He looked at the little boy beside her with an expressive gaze. “Do you think I can keep on sleeping?”
She coughed, blocking his line of sight, and said, “It’s good to get up early. Since the air is fresh in the
morning, you can go out for a walk. It’s good for your health.”
At this time, Dolores and Archer came out of the kitchen one after the other and put the breakfast and
tableware on the table.
Dolores said to her, “Stella, just eat first. I will feed the little one.”
Stella replied, “No need. He is well-behaved. It won’t take long to finish eating. And I am not very
hungry, so I will eat later.”
Dolores then sat down and said to Clarence, “You hurry up and eat. After that, you play with the child
so that Stella can eat.”
He raised his eyebrows slightly and said , “Okay.”
Archer darted his glances from Stella who was feeding the child to Clarence. Suddenly, he asked,
“Aren’t you planning to have another baby?”
Hearing this, Stella paused for a second when feeding the baby without saying anything.
Clarence raised his eyes and met Archer’s gaze, saying coldly, “Can’t you even stop talking when
having your meal?”
Archer probably realized that he had said something he shouldn't say, so he kept silent until breakfast
was over.
