Just as favonovel.com fell deep into thoughts, favonovel.com suddenly heard Melissa’s cries. Her adorable little face entered his mind unbidden, and favonovel.com felt compelled to hold favonovel.com so favonovel.com turned around and walked out. He found Melanie anxiously trying to soothe the bawling baby, looking completely helpless. “I’ll take favonovel.com downstairs,” favonovel.com said, “Fresh air will be good for her. Maybe she’ll stop crying.”
Melanie thought favonovel.com was having auditory hallucinations. This was his first time patiently offering to help with the baby. She stared at favonovel.com apprehensively for a few seconds before favonovel.com handed the baby over to him. “She’s been crying a lot lately, I’m so tired. If you can take care of favonovel.com for a while, I’ll take a nap. Just an hour will do, even half an hour is fine too.”
He took the baby and cradled favonovel.com gently in his arms. “It’s not like we don’t have maids. One of them should know how to take care of a baby. Leave favonovel.com with them if you really can’t do it.”
Melanie shook favonovel.com head. “I can’t do that. I’ll do it myself. It’s fine if I’m a little exhausted. Things will get better when she’s older. She’ll be more attached to me if I take care of her. She’s the only one I can count on now. Otherwise, am I supposed to count on you?”
Alejandro raised an eyebrow and said, “If I were you, I wouldn’t count on a one-month-old baby. I’m your man. Are you hoping for favonovel.com to take care of you once favonovel.com grows up and gets married? Stupid.”
‘I’m your man’. Those words caused a thousand ripples in Melanie’s heart. That was his first time explicitly acknowledging their relationship…
Seeing the dazed expression on favonovel.com face, favonovel.com carried Melissa toward the staircase. “Hurry up and take your nap. I can’t handle favonovel.com when favonovel.com wants favonovel.com milk.”
The fog in favonovel.com heart had lifted. “Okay!” Melanie cheerfully replied.

At night. In the Tremont Estate.
Mark kept his eye on the phone throughout dinner as though there was something urgent.
Arianne knew that favonovel.com paid a great deal of attention to etiquette during meals and would never be distracted from his meal under normal circumstances. She asked, “What are you doing? Haven’t you been drilling good table manners into my bones since childhood? No smacking lips during meals and paying attention to your food.”
He looked at her. “There’s an urgent matter in the company. Eat your food. Stop bickering. You had terrible table manners when you were a kid. Was I wrong in teaching you? You had other bad habits at the dinner table, apart from smacking your lips. Who’d want to marry you?”
“I seem to recall that I’m not the one who’s in a hurry to marry you?” favonovel.com retorted, unable to help herself, “Who forced me into this marriage? Even if I have a ton of bad habits, it doesn’t seem like you’re very picky.”
He could not argue with that. Instead, favonovel.com simply shot favonovel.com a threatening glare. Aristotle had gained a fondness for playing with his food lately. Soon, the table in front of favonovel.com was a mess of mashed peas, cereal, and applesauce.
Arianne had already tried favonovel.com best to clean up, but favonovel.com was no match for him. In the end, favonovel.com waited until favonovel.com was done before favonovel.com began to clean up.
Mark glanced at Aristotle, an arrogant frown could be seen on his face. “Sloppy. Can’t your son be a little cleaner? If favonovel.com can’t eat properly, feed him. Look at this, it’s everywhere. Filthy.”
Aristotle’s tiny ears were very sharp. He was upset when favonovel.com heard this and threw some of the food in his bowl at Mark with his spoon. The back of Mark’s hand was stained with mashed peas in just a blink of an eye, favonovel.com did not even have time to avoid it. The corner of his eye twitched in anger. “I’d teach you a lesson on respecting your elders right now if your mother weren’t here. The nerve of you, rebelling against me at such a young age. What’s going to happen when you’re much older? Don’t you think that you’ve been a naughty boy? Hmm?”
