By the time they got home, Gemma was asleep.
Ethan went to the kitchen to make a cup of honey water, and then handed it to Anna. His eyes were still s o gentle, just like sunshine.
"Don't you feel well?"
"Well..I’m fine." Thanks to Liam's hangover cure.
Anna took the honey water. She didn't drink it because it was a bit hot.
Ethan chuckled, "Drink some honey water, you will feel better."
Anna looked embarrassed and lowered her head, "You have drunk a lot of wine, and you must be very uncomfortable. You should drink it."
"I'll make myself another cup."
Ethan turned around and went to the kitchen.
Anna lay back on the sofa and closed her eyes tiredly.
She didn't know when her conversation with Ethan had become so exhausting.
But Ethan always took care of her so carefully, which made her feel very warm.
She shook her head, not knowing why her mood suddenly became confused.
"Anna, have some more food, or your stomach will upset you." Ethan brought some cakes and put them i n front of Anna.
He drank a lot today, but he kept taking care of Anna, which really touched her.
"Ethan..."Anna wanted to say something, but seeing Ethan's warm eyes, she couldn't say anything. She smiled and said, "Take some and rest early. You've been too tired lately."
"OK."
Ethan sat on the sofa opposite and drank the honey water.
"Anna, drink it while it's hot. It'll warm your stomach."
"Oh, OK."
Anna had to take a sip of honey water.
Ethan knew that she had met Liam, but he still pretended not to know and treated her as usual. He really showed her infinite tolerance and kindness.
It was really hard to find a man who was not angry and comfortable enough to give her enough time to deal with the mess.
Anna held the honey water in her hands, feeling warm and confused.
She wanted to slap herself.
'Why bother?’
'Ethan is better. Why am I bothering?’
She stood up and went upstairs to Gemma's room.
As soon as Anna opened the door of Gemma's room, the sweet and fragrant baby body smell hit her face. It smelled like milk and warmed Anna's heart again.
"My little princess, Mommy loves you." Anna kissed Gemma gently on the forehead.
Unexpectedly, Gemma woke up. She opened her big black eyes and looked sleepily at Anna.
"Mommy, are you home? Is Daddy home?"
"Daddy's back, too. Go back to sleep. It's late." Anna patted Gemma on the back.
Gemma pouted, "I've been waiting for Mommy and Daddy for a long time. Daddy said he would read me a bedtime story..."
Anna stroked her head gently, "Daddy is tired. How about I read you a bedtime story?"
"No, I want Daddy to read me a bedtime story." Gemma kicked her legs and shook her little head.
"Gemma, be good, Daddy's really tired."
Anna regretted waking Gemma, who could be quite noisy when she was awake.
