Chapter 2019: The Man Sleeping beside Her

The infant whimpered .

He clenched his fists and waved them about .

Shen Manting couldn’t help smiling .

“Feed him some milk . ”

Shen Luo’an suddenly mumbled from under the blanket .

Shen Manting heard him and walked out of the room quickly with the infant in her arms .

She closed the door on the way out .

Shen Luo’an buried his face in his blanket . He peeked out from under the sheets when he heard the door shut .

Sure enough, the room was already empty .

She was gone .

The room was unusually quiet .

Shen Luo’an couldn’t fall asleep anymore .

–

Shen Manting fed the infant some milk and brought him to the garden for a stroll .

The morning sunlight was soft and warm . The infant winced and furrowed his brow when he was exposed to the sun .

He opened his bright, alluring eyes and looked around him .

“Manting, it’s time for breakfast!”

Mother He shouted .

Shen Manting immediately replied, “All right, wait a minute . ”

Then, she heard a man’s voice in the distance . “Don’t expose the baby to too much sunlight . ”

She turned around and saw Shen Luo’an standing by the door, dressed in dark gray, casual attire .

He appeared sleep-deprived .

Shen Manting glanced at the infant in her arms and was able to guess why he looked so sleepy .

“His condition has improved now, so he doesn’t need to take the medicine anymore . This little guy has a quick temper . Remember to feed him milk . Otherwise, he’ll make a huge fuss . ” Shen Luo’an stepped forward and said in a low voice .

Shen Manting took his words lightly and said, “The baby is still so young . Do you think he’d mind much?”

“Try him if you don’t believe me . ” Shen Luo’an was talking to Shen Manting, but his gaze was fixed on the infant . “I didn’t believe it myself either . ”

Shen Manting felt doubtful . She looked down at the infant . He seemed to be amused; he arched his eyebrows in a grin, his tender, pink gums showing .

“Go and have breakfast . ” Shen Luo’an reached for the infant and carried him in his arms . “I’ll be going to work later . Keep a close eye on the baby . ”

Shen Manting felt a strange sensation .

Shen Luo’an seemed to be in an unusually pleasant mood today .

Why was he telling her so much information about the infant?

Nevertheless, Shen Luo’an went back into the house with the infant in his arms .

Shen Luo’an seemed to be very busy .

He left home slightly past 8 a . m . and was out at work all day .

Shen Manting held the infant and played with him in the room for a while . Then, the infant fell asleep .

She looked at the time . It was already 10 p . m .

Shen Luo’an still hadn’t come home yet!

Shen Manting felt sleepy . She sat by the bed and soon drifted off to sleep .

She was awakened by the infant’s movements .

Shen Manting was already awake and alert before he started to cry aloud .

The lights in the room were turned off . Strangely, she was leaning against the bed when she fell asleep, but found herself lying on the bed when she awoke .

Shen Manting felt slightly uneasy . She turned around and saw a man sleeping beside her .

She was shocked and sat up abruptly .

The infant started to wail loudly . Shen Manting stood up immediately and went to cradle the infant .

Shen Luo’an turned over on his side . He covered his ears with a pillow and went back to sleep .

Shen Manting clearly saw his actions . He obviously had no intention of tending to the infant .

The realization annoyed her .

What if she wasn’t around?

Would he have let the infant cry himself to death?

She coaxed the infant and whispered, “Don’t cry . Mommy will feed you some milk . Be good, all right?”

She couldn’t resist glaring at Shen Luo’an as she spoke .

But he didn’t move at all and remained still .

She patiently prepared some milk for the infant . After feeding him, she gave Shen Luo’an a nudge .
