Alexander went into Evelyn's bedroom. He didn't lie down to sleep. Instead, he found his pajamas in the closet and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Then he lay down on the bed, feeling comfortable and satisfied. It wasn't for nothing that he had asked someone to move the bed in here!
At eleven o'clock, Evelyn saw that Alexander hadn't come downstairs. She had to carry the baby upstairs. She planned to wake Alexander up and tell him to go back to Sterling Manor. After all, it was very late. But when she entered the bedroom, she saw Alexander sleeping soundly. At that moment, even thunder and rain wouldn't disturb his sleep. Evelyn felt awkward. Should she wake him up or not?
Evelyn had no choice but to knock on her sister's door with the baby. She planned to squeeze into bed with Victoria for the night. But her sister said she had to go to work tomorrow morning. If she slept with the baby, she would definitely have insomnia. Then Victoria said that Evelyn and Alexander weren't really divorced yet. It was nothing for them to sleep together. Evelyn could only go back to her bedroom with the baby in her arms.
Finally, Evelyn changed the baby's diaper. She fed him milk. She let the baby sleep beside Alexander while she lay down on the other side. Later, she fell asleep in a daze. In the middle of the night, she heard the baby cry. But it stopped quickly. She thought she was dreaming and fell asleep again.
Alexander carefully picked up the baby. He coaxed him in a low voice. Then he fumbled around and fed the baby. After the baby fell asleep, Alexander held him and lay down again. Evelyn suddenly woke up. She opened her eyes and saw the sleeping baby. She felt relieved. She had just dreamed that the baby was gone. The next second, she felt something was wrong. She turned her head and saw Alexander's sleeping face behind her. Evelyn froze. She wanted to turn over, but she found that Alexander was holding her in his arms. She couldn't move at all.
"Wife—" Alexander mumbled after Evelyn's movement. It was like a conditioned reflex. He buried his face in Evelyn's neck and kissed her. Evelyn suddenly blushed. She pushed Alexander. "Alexander—" "Huh?" Alexander responded. His hand, which was holding Evelyn's waist, began to move up. Evelyn almost couldn't catch her breath. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Alexander whisper. "Wife, sleep with me for a while. I'm sleepy!" "…" Looking at the baby sleeping soundly beside them, Evelyn was speechless.
When Alexander was fully asleep and willing to wake up, it was past eight o'clock. Evelyn had already gotten up with the baby. She was now holding the baby while feeding him milk. She stood by the window, basking in the sun. After washing up, Alexander came downstairs. He greeted his mother-in-law. Amelia smiled and said, "I kept breakfast warm for you. Go eat it!" Alexander thanked his mother-in-law. "Thank you, Mom. I'll go see Evelyn and the baby first!" Alexander finished speaking and walked toward Evelyn and the baby. Evelyn looked up and saw Alexander. Her face turned red almost reflexively. Alexander seemed to be in a good mood. He lowered his head and kissed Evelyn's forehead. "I haven't slept this comfortably in a long time!" he said. "Move the bed back!" Evelyn replied with a red face. "It has nothing to do with the bed!" Evelyn looked up at Alexander. She wanted to ask what it had to do with. But she chose to remain silent. Because Alexander's eyes had already explained everything. Evelyn really wanted to call him a rascal. But her mother was in the living room. "Go eat breakfast. You have to go to work!" Evelyn had to change the subject. "Let me hold my son first!" Alexander responded. Evelyn handed the baby to Alexander. The baby obviously knew his father. As soon as Alexander took him, the baby giggled. Evelyn couldn't help sighing. She took care of the baby most of the time every day. She didn't feel that the baby was so close to her!
Later, Alexander finished his breakfast and went to work. Evelyn still did whatever she had to do. The nanny who had settled in also came back. It turned out that she had asked for leave a few days ago because of family matters. Evelyn looked at her mother and wanted to laugh. "What are you laughing at?" Amelia said, a little annoyed but in a vague tone. "I would have saved some money if I hadn't seen you too busy!" "Mom, I knew you loved me the most!" "Love, love, love. Can you eat it for a meal?" "Love makes you happy even eating pickles!" Evelyn answered with a strong sense of presence. "Alexander doesn't love you, and you're still struggling!" Amelia rolled her eyes. Evelyn pouted. She didn't know how to refute her mother's words.
Amelia didn't say anything more. She just said to herself. "Alexander has been looking a bit tired these days. I'll buy something to stew. He can drink it when he comes back from work!" "Mom—" Evelyn wanted to say that Alexander wouldn't come here tonight! "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it together!" Amelia asked instead. "Mom, no. I mean, Alexander might have to work overtime tonight. He won't have time to come here!" "How do you know?" "… He's always been busy!" "No matter how busy he is, he has to get off work and rest. No matter how busy he is, just come and drink when he gets off work. It's fine as a midnight snack." "…" Now Evelyn couldn't even find a reason. She originally wanted to say that she and Alexander were going to get a divorce. Why was her mother so good to him! But she knew that if she said this, the consequences would be more serious. She'd better shut up. It was no big deal. In the evening, Alexander could come, drink a bowl of soup, and go back home.
But ideals are always full. Reality is always very skinny. Alexander did work overtime in the evening. It was really late when he arrived. But after drinking the soup, he showed no intention of going back. "Don't you want to go back?" Evelyn couldn't help asking. "Mom said it's too late. I'll stay the night!" Alexander said. "We don't have a guest room anymore." Evelyn replied stiffly. She had already packed a guest room for her sister-in-law. Now there were no more guest rooms. "It doesn't matter. I'll squeeze in with you and the baby!" "We're getting a divorce!" Evelyn was angry for a long time. But she was afraid that if she was too excited and her voice was too loud, her mother, who was packing things in the kitchen, would hear. Then she would be scolded by her mother again. She could only try her best to suppress her anger and lower her voice. So at the moment, she looked like she was gnashing her teeth. "It's just preparation, not yet!" Alexander approached Evelyn and kissed her. "Rascal—" Evelyn wanted to bite Alexander. At the same time, she bit Alexander's lower lip. But she soon regretted her action. Because Alexander not only didn't dodge, but also took the opportunity to kiss Evelyn deeply. Evelyn suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment and frustration!
