Matthew had wanted to have a baby cot bought for Ethan, but Erica had stopped him. When asked why, she said that Ethan was only going to stay there for a couple of days so there was no need to buy one. Ethan could just sleep with them.

At midnight, Matthew came back to the bedroom from his study and saw

Erica and the baby Lying on the bed in a crooked manner.

He came towards the side of the bed and saw that the baby had woken up.

Ethan was lying on the bed, looking around with his eyes wide open. The thin quilt on his body had been kicked far away.

When he saw Matthew, he began to kick his legs excitedly and smiled at him.

Matthew cast a glance at Erica, who was sound asleep, and thought, ‘If the baby had run away, I daresay she wouldn't even feel it.'

He helplessly lifted Ethan up and put him in the middle of the bed.

Then he Lay down beside him and covered him with the quilt. That way, the baby boy was sandwiched between the two and could not run away.

As Matthew Lay down, Ethan turned over and started babbling at him.

Matthew was experienced in taking care of kids since he had witnessed the birth and growth of Gwyn, Godwin and Godfrey. He was quite familiar with kids and knew how to engage them.

He put his big hand in front of Ethan, on which there was a bite mark.

The boy reached out a dainty little hand to grab Matthew's big hand, but only managed to grab the man's ring finger.

After playing with him silently for a while, the Little boy finally began to get tired and drowsy and soon nodded off into a deep slumber.

Matthew turned the boy over and covered him properly once again to make sure the boy was comfortable.

The next day, Erica received a phone call from Tam early in the morning.

“Erica, thank you for taking so good care of my son. I thought about it last night for the whole time and have decided to take Ethan to my home and take care of him by myself. I know it's unfair to you, but I hope you understand my feelings as a father.”

Erica hung up the phone abruptly without another word.

‘Humph! Tam, you bastard! Now, you want me to consider your feelings as a father? Why didn't you think of this when Ethan was born? Where were your feelings then? You Lying son of bitch!' she cursed at him in her heart.

Tam called her again a few more times, but he never received a response. Having realized that it would be troublesome to contact her in the future if she blocked his number, Tam decided to leave her alone.

Putting her cellphone aside, Erica asked the maid to watch over Ethan for a while because she wanted to make some hard boiled eggs for her son. She wanted to do something special for Ethan to make up for the time she hadn't been at his side.

Yes! She decided to boil eggs herself!

Although boiling eggs was a simple enough task, Erica had no idea where to even begin. After all, the Life of comfort and Luxury had made her complacent and unambitious.

She found a pot and poured some water in it before putting the eggs.

The first two steps went smoothly. Next, was turning on the gas stove.
