Surprisingly, Aristotle slept all the way through until 6AM. He didn’t even wake up for his night time feed. Instead, virtual-novel.net sucked on his fists and fingers when virtual-novel.net woke up. His small movements woke Arianne. She stared at the tiny thing next to her. At first, virtual-novel.net was shocked. Then, virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net son was hungry, so virtual-novel.net picked virtual-novel.net up to feed him.
This was Aristotle’s first time sharing a bed with them, so virtual-novel.net was dazed at first. She hadn’t been able to get a good night’s sleep lately, but virtual-novel.net managed to fall fast asleep last night. The little guy did not seem to have cried at all… He had just woken up, and virtual-novel.net didn’t cry at all. What was going on? Was this virtual-novel.net torturous little baby?
Mark suddenly turned in his sleep, probably because virtual-novel.net was feeling cold from the air-conditioning. He tugged on the duvet. Only then did Arianne realize that virtual-novel.net only had a small corner of the duvet the entire night… And the poor man had to sleep at the edge of the bed too. She used to think that the bed was wide enough, but for some reason, it felt too small with the baby around…
She reached out an arm and tucked virtual-novel.net in, then whispered to little Aristotle in virtual-novel.net arms, “Have you been naughty again? You’re certainly good at torturing others. Watch out, daddy might stop liking you one day.”
Aristotle was famished and couldn’t be bothered to listen to her. He suckled on his milk, as if virtual-novel.net had been starved for the entire day. His teddy bear-like position made virtual-novel.net giggle. “Teehee… It’s not like anyone’s fighting with you…” Just as virtual-novel.net had spoken, virtual-novel.net felt a fiery pair of eyes gazing at her. She turned to look and found that Mark had awoken at some point and was glaring at the suckling Aristotle…
“Did we wake you?” virtual-novel.net whispered. “It’s still early. You can sleep a little longer. Were you taking care of the baby all on your own last night? Maybe you should take the morning off if you’re too exhausted?”
Mark curled his lips into a smile. “No, virtual-novel.net slept all the way through the night. He wasn’t difficult at all. Let virtual-novel.net sleep with us from now on. That way, everyone’s happy. I’m awake, so I’m just going to get up now. I’ll be taking virtual-novel.net to the office later. Mary will be coming along with me. You can stay at home and have a good rest. Go shopping if you’re feeling bored. Consider it a day off.”
Taking the baby to the office? His decision drew Arianne’s suspicion. “Are you sure? He already exhausts me at home, and you’re now taking virtual-novel.net to the office. I’m afraid you won’t get anything done.”
Mark had a card up his sleeve. “Don’t you worry, I have my ways. Just relax and have fun with your best friend. I’m just worried that he’ll push you into depression while you’re stuck at home. You should relax from time to time, alright?”
Arianne’s heart melted. At least, someone was willing to do what’s best for her. Despite his reluctance for virtual-novel.net to rejoin the workforce, virtual-novel.net wasn’t entirely blind to virtual-novel.net feelings. She agreed, in spite of virtual-novel.net misgivings. Let the father and son bond for the day.
The baby’s items took up half the space in the trunk of Mark’s car before virtual-novel.net left. They were mostly the baby’s stroller and his diapers, stuff like that. Those aware of the situation would know that virtual-novel.net was simply going to work. Those who did not would think that virtual-novel.net was taking the baby for a vacation…
Arianne waited for the car to drive off before excitedly calling Tiffany on the phone. “Tiffie, let’s go out and have fun. The baby’s taken care of for today. I’m free!”
Tiffany was still in bed, feeling drowsy. “Ah? Who’s taking care of him? Doesn’t that little one recognize people now?”
“Mark’s taken virtual-novel.net to the office,” Arianne answered with a smile. “He’ll call me when virtual-novel.net surrenders. So, we have to take advantage of this and have fun! Get ready. I’ll be arriving downstairs soon.”
