The two men were just at a standstill.
Vivian sipped the fragrant soup, but for some reason, a sour feeling would always come up in the bottom of her heart.
But thankfully, Old Mr. Henderson didn’t do anything too much to her at the Henderson Family home.
It is best to be alive now.
Vivian, what are you still longing for?
She pursed her lips helplessly and didn’t speak.
After a while, she finished eating and was ready to pack up her things.
Edward got up and walked over, “I’ll do it.”
He carried the bed table and put it on a low table, then wiped it clean, turned around and went to the sofa and sat down, and ate the porridge and vegetables that Vivian had not finished eating.
“You …”
Vivian dropped her jaw, her pupils slightly glazed, so shocked that she could not say anything for a long time.
The man didn’t even look up and continued eating.
Vivian knew that Edward, although he could not be called a clean person, would never eat other people’s leftovers.
Available today …
She looked at Edward and then looked at Ashtyn in the crib over there and couldn’t help but feel that Edward was really doting on the baby.
In order to free up more time to watch the children, actually even her leftovers are not too much.
Vivian ate his fill, lifted the bedding and got out of bed again.
“Lie down!”
She had just come down when Edward spoke again in a raw voice.
“I’m stuffed and want to walk.”
Vivian explained, with a few moments of innocence in her tone.
Edward immediately took off the down jacket he was wearing and threw it to her, “Put it on, or you’ll catch a cold and pass it on to the baby.”
The black down jacket was thrown directly over Vivian’s face, so Edward didn’t notice the sourness and the slightest bit of heartache on Vivian’s face.
Yeah, everything can be involved with children.
As long as there is the slightest thing that is bad for the child or unfavorable can be infinitely magnified.
Vivian did not refuse, put on the duvet and sat beside the child, propping her hands on the bouncer enclosure, resting her chin and inclining her head to look at the sleeping baby.
“Ashtyn, when are you going to grow up? Mommy wants to see you grow up so badly … When you grow up, Mommy won’t have to be there for you.”
Ashtyn is still young, Edward will let her stay with the child, then when she grows up her presence will be dispensable.
Now it seems that another reason why Edward keeps her around is that Edward is worried about finding a little mother for Ashtyn, and he is afraid that she will not treat Ashtyn well.
After all, although there are good stepmothers, there are many who are bad-hearted.
“Where do you want to go when you’re not with your kids?”
Edward’s heart is a little blocked, feigning casual question.
Vivian smiled bitterly, first slender white fingers caressing the child’s cheek, said: “The child will naturally have its own life when it grows up, and I, too, do not need to be bent for the child.”
When the children are older, she will be able to divorce Edward, and then Ashtyn will understand her and will take the initiative to visit her.
That would be enough.
Edward, who was drinking the soup, made a movement, put down the spoon with a thud and heavily covered the lid of the thermos bucket.
Got up and walked out.
So, his ‘big talk’ at the Henderson Family’s old house was just a one-sided love affair.
Edward felt ridiculous and pathetic.
Since childhood, he has been the proud son of the gods, but now, for Vivian’s sake, he has turned against the Henderson Family.
But in return, Vivian had this to say.
Commiserate!
In other words, if it weren’t for Ashtyn, she’d probably be out of here by now.
Edward felt the taste of defeat for the first time in his life, engraved in his bones, but also painful.
His reaction did not draw Vivian’s attention.
That afternoon, Adriana arrived at the hospital with Peter, Jenkins, Zac and Hank, the three of them.
The silent ward instantly became lively.
“Congratulations, you are so lucky to have a son as your first.”
Jenkins carried her things and put them aside, then went to Vivian and said, “Just rest lately, I’m taking care of the company, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“Please.”
Vivian thanked her old partner Jenkins from the bottom of her heart.
“You’re welcome, we’re all friends.”
Jenkins smiled, turned and walked away, looked at Ashtyn sleeping in the rocking bed, then tucked a red envelope in the corner of the bed.
Adriana sat in the escort chair, looked at Vivian, took her hand, and asked, “How is it, are you feeling better?”
“Not bad. But finally I appreciate how hard it is to be a mommy. Ashtyn couldn’t stop crying last night and her head was all over the place.”
What Vivian says now is a true reflection of what Adriana was like at the time.
Taking care of a child is really just that hard, and only when you are raising a child yourself do you know that being a parent is not easy.
Adriana was relieved to see that Vivian was looking well again.
Gently patting her hand, she asked in a whisper, “Which one of you took care of the baby more last night?”
“I seem to have fallen asleep at twelve o’clock.”
Speaking of which Vivian remembered with hindsight that it seems she took care of it for a while before twelve o’clock and hasn’t woken up since.
So, Edward took care of the kids last night?
With this in mind, she raised her eyes to look at Edward, who was sitting on the sofa chatting with Peter and Zac and Hank.
For some reason, the heart is very moved.
Vivian’s look fell into Adriana’s eyes, and she stopped worrying.
There are some things that flow out unknowingly, at least Edward is changing.
“By the way, honey said to let you guys spend New Year’s Eve at our house this year.”
Adriana and Peter, they all know Edward’s current situation, and Edward has instructed everyone not to reveal it in front of Vivian, naturally no one told Vivian.
“Huh? That … is not something I can do.”
Vivian felt that she was in a weak position in the family, and it was not her turn to speak.
The two people here are talking, and the people over there have heard them.
Peter matched Adriana’s words, immediately plucked up his voice and asked Edward: “This year Zac and Jaelynn they are also at our place for New Year, you guys come together, lively.”
“It’s not appropriate.”
Edward knows Peter’s heart.
“What is not appropriate, you damn forget that last year are a few of us together for New Year’s Eve, how today is more nonsense.”
Zac reached out and nudged Edward, “Why are you still dawdling.”
“It’s settled. We’ll pick you up on the thirtieth.”
Peter finalized the matter directly.
Then, several people gathered together to chat and play for a while before leaving.
When they left, Ashtyn woke up and Vivian went to hold the baby, only to find four red envelopes placed in the rocker gift.
Vivian smiled, “Look, how much the uncles and aunts love you, bought you so many things, and gave you a red packet.”
But take the red envelope Vivian did not move, because she felt that the money does not belong to her by and large.
Instead, Edward came over and picked up the red envelope. Four red envelopes were thin, and when they were opened, they all contained checks, one for five million, one for three million, one for two million, and one for one million.
Edward thick ink sword eyebrows wrinkled, hand gas red bag, handed in Vivian, “they give the child, you take it.”
