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.copy right hot novel pub
