"He can't even coax his own child," I muttered. But the housekeeper was not angry. He smiled and said, "Please take care of our little master tonight. If you need anything, you can ring the bell next to you."
"Okay."
After watching the housekeeper leave, I lifted the quilt and lay on the bed.
Although it was a cot, it was very big. I lay on it, but it was not crowded at all. I held the child in my arms, bowed my head, kissed his forehead, and whispered, "Good night, baby."
"Creak."
In the middle of the night, when I was sleeping in a daze, I heard the sound of someone opening the door. I frowned and thought who it was. Was it the housekeeper?
However, I quickly refuted my thought because I felt that someone was coming over and standing by the bed, and he was not intended to leave.
After a long time, I heard a sigh. Then, I was held by a pair of warm hands tightly.
"Ashley, I still... can't bear to give up on you... What should I do?"
His deep and charming voice sounded a little sad...
It was Edward, wasn't it?
I tried hard to open my eyes, but I was so tired that my eyelids seemed to be stuck. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open them.
I could feel his warm and peaceful breathing, and I liked it so much.
It was so warm...
"Mommy." The next day, I was awakened by the itchy feeling on my face.
As soon as I opened his eyes, I saw the baby lying on my body.
I was so shocked.
I stared blankly at the baby who was twisting his body on me. With a helpless smile, I picked him up and held him in my arms, "Baby, what are you doing?"
"I'm hungry." The baby said with his mouth puckered and looked at me in an extremely aggrieved way.
He had been rubbing his face against my breast, which made me blushed.
The child...
He was really naughty...
I blushed and unbuttoned my clothes helplessly. Just as he was about to suck my breast, the door of the bedroom was opened.
I was startled and immediately wore my clothes.
"Miss Mu, good morning." The housekeeper came over with servants behind him and then smiled at me.
I held the baby in my arms and said awkwardly, "Good morning."
Fortunately, I didn't take off my clothes completely, otherwise, I would be so embarrassed.
However, the child did not cooperate with me at all. He twisted his fat body and continued to grab my breast with his little hands.
I was speechless because of his actions.
Helplessly, I grabbed his hands and comforted him, "Baby, don't make trouble, okay?"
"I'm hungry." With a pair of beautiful eyes, he looked at me pitifully and aggrievedly.
Being stared at him, my heart ached.
I shook my head helplessly, lowered my head, kissed his forehead, and said, "Good boy, there will be milk for you to drink."
"Miss Mu, enjoy your breakfast. I'll take care of a little master."
As the housekeeper spoke, he picked up the baby.
However, the baby refused to let go of me and kept crying.
"Mommy..."
His cry broke my heart.
I looked at the housekeeper nervously and said, "Give him to me, otherwise he'll make trouble again."
"Then... please feed him the milk."
After thinking for a while, the housekeeper gave the feeding bottle the servant handed to him.
I took the feeding bottle and put the nipple on his mouth. With his eyes wide open, he glanced at me, but he didn't open his mouth. He just twisted his body and faced me with his butt.
Seeing that the child was like this, I looked at the housekeeper with some embarrassment.
"He doesn't like milk."
"How come? He liked drinking this milk the most before." The housekeeper seemed to be a little surprised and looked at me worriedly.
"Good boy, this is your favorite milk. Don't you want to drink it?" I coaxed the child and said to him.
However, he could only look at me pitifully with his beautiful eyes wide open.
Looking at his aggrieved eyes, I felt a little uncomfortable.
"Baby."
"Our little master was premature. After he was born, he almost died at the beginning. Fortunately, he survived later, and his body was getting better and better. Because our master didn't like other women to feed him, he asked people to collect fresh milk for him to drink. He has always liked fresh milk. I don't know why he doesn't like it recently."
The housekeeper explained to me.
When I heard it, I felt hot in my ears.
Was the child full because he had sucked my breast? But... I didn't have any milk for him.
I was speechless, but the child in my arms kept rubbing his mouth against my breast. I tried to pull him away with a dark face, but I couldn't do that when I looked at his delicate and beautiful face.
"Miss Mu." Perhaps it was because my face looked extremely bad that the housekeeper called me with some concern.
I came to sense, looked at the housekeeper, and nodded faintly, "It's all right. I'll take care of him. You can go out first."
