Grace smiled without saying anything. She was just savoring her coffee. The taste was authentic but too bitter for her at that moment.
Upstairs, Kingsley was changing clothes for the baby when Cathy came up and informed him of Luke's arrival. His mother offered help and urged him to entertain his friend downstairs.
Kingsley smiled faintly, gently put on the clothes for the baby, and then carried him downstairs.
Standing in the hall, Luke saw the baby at a glance. His brows were knitted together.
A glass of wine was given to Luke. Both
men were silent. Kingsley tenderly teased his son who sucked his hands so hard that they turned red. Kingsley couldn't help but smile.
The little one liked to suck his fingers so much that they were near bleeding.
A worried Kingsley called the doctor, but the latter said it was normal and told him t o relax.
The two men looked at each other silently. The atmosphere between them was also quiet. Seemingly upset by it, the baby cried out.
"Maybe he is hungry. Please excuse me and help yourself," Kingsley said.
Luke remained silent and looked at the leaving figure with a sneer.
Cathy came up. Her face and words were filled with enthusiasm. "I didn't see your
child."
Luke arched his brow and asked slowly, stressing each word, "You're quite happy today, aren't you?"
