“Please bear in mind that you’re just my temporary husband. You’ll be stripped of your identity soon,” Mireya could not help but remind him, “What’s more, I don’t want a pervert like you to watch me breastfeed.”
Rodney’s handsome face slowly darkened. “Mireya Lynch, you need to get this straight. Ever since I married you, I’ve never once touched you. Don’t accuse me for no reason.”
“You’ve been collecting those videos and even circulating them. Aren’t you a pervert?” Mireya teased, “Or are you a creep?”
“… Fine, you win.”
Rodney failed to convince her. He had no choice but to turn around and head to the room next door in a huff.
Dani fell asleep shortly after she drank enough milk.
Mireya barely had anything to eat. At 10:00 p.m, a nurse came to check on her and said, “You can try using a breast pump.”
“I did. Even after pumping for a long time, I barely got any milk.” Mireya felt uncomfortable. “My hands are sore.”
The nurse smiled and glanced at Rodney, who was drinking some water. “Well, you can ask your husband to help.”
“Pfft…” Shocked, Rodney spurted out the water from his mouth at once. “Ahem.”
He patted his chest after choking.
Did the nurse mean what he thought she meant?
The nurse looked at the blushing faces of both Rodney and Mireya, who had just become parents. She could not help but say, “Both of you are already married. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”
Mireya was so ashamed that she wished the ground would swallow her up.
As soon as the nurse left, an eerie hush fell over the ward.
Rodney touched his nose and approached Mireya quietly. After throwing a strange look at her chest, he somehow felt uneasy and started feeling hot. ” Ahem, I actually don’t mind helping you out…”
” I do.” Mireya glared at him with her flushed face.
“Mireya, don’t strain yourself.” Rodney’s expression showed that he just wanted to help Mireya for her own good. “Just keep your mind pure and simple.”
Mireya felt an atomic bomb going off in her head. What did Rodney mean?
It was as if she was impure and had complex thoughts.
” I don’ t need your help no matter how badly I’m suffering.” Mireya showed a look of absolute contempt for him.
Rodney pouted and did not bother to argue with her further.
Dani woke up in the wee hours to have some breast milk again. However, a newborn like her had a rather poor appetite.
There were a few times when Mireya fell asleep while feeding the baby due to fatigue.
While she was still muddle-headed, she sensed that someone had come and carried Dani away from her. The person then helped tidy her shirt.
As much as she wanted to open her eyes, she was unable to do it.
When she woke up the next day, she felt her face burning as she recalled what had happened in the wee hours.
She glanced around the ward, only to see the caregiver alone. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief. Rodney must have slept like a log last night. He could not have been the one who did those things.
“Aunty Holly, I fell asleep while breastfeeding last night. You were the one who tidied my shirt, right?” Mireya was appreciative of the caregiver’s help.
The caregiver was stunned for a moment before replying with a smile, “No. Young Master Snow asked me to return early last night. He was the one who was here the entirety of last night. He said he wanted to look after you and the baby on his own.”
Mireya froze. In that case, was it Rodney who tidied her shirt?
Her face turned crimson in spite of herself.
Aunty Holly laughed and said, “Young Master Snow is quite concerned about you and the baby. I’ve taken care of many rich pregnant women. Although they seem to have married well, their husbands seldom carry the babies. It’s rare to find a man like Young Master Snow who personally accompanies you and looks after the baby. He previously knew nothing, but he quickly got the hang of it in these two days. He has already learned how to change the baby’s diapers and clothes. He even brought the baby upstairs for a swim just now.”
Mireya muttered, “As the baby’s father, he’s supposed to do all these things.”
“You don’t know that many wealthy men will choose to settle everything with money. They certainly won’t do it on their own. They expect the caregivers and sitters to deal with everything.
Admittedly, it’s our responsibility to take care of these things, but babies need parental love as well.” Aunty Holly darted a glance at Mireya’s chest. “I see that you’re suffering. Don’t you want to ask Young Master Snow for help?”
The caregiver changed the topic so swiftly that Mireya had no idea how to respond to her question at that moment.
She just wanted to be an invisible person right now.
During breakfast, Mr. Lynch, Mrs. Lynch, and Wendy came over. Wendy even brought along a five-star chef from the Snow family to prepare breakfast.
Mireya had been eating very well during her confinement period.
When Rodney returned with Dani, who had just finished swimming, Mrs. Lynch observed the way he carried the baby. She realized that he seemed experienced. Based on her experience, she was certain that it was not an act.
The moment Dani cried, Rodney knew that she might want to urinate. He immediately began to skillfully change her diaper.
Mrs. Lynch said to him in an unusually affable manner, “She has only peed in the diaper once. You can leave it.”
“No way. I can’t let my princess experience any discomfort.” Rodney was very patient with his princess. “By the way, Mom, please prepare a bigger bag for me so that I can put some diapers and bottles in it.”
“… Not bad. You’ve improved.”
Wendy shot an unusually admiring look at him. ” Keep it up. Not only must you be a good father but you must also be a good husband.”
After pausing for a moment, Wendy held Mrs. Lynch’s hands enthusiastically. “Mrs. Lynch, you can leave everything here to Rodney. Let’s go shopping. Coincidentally, Rodney has bought a mall for Mireya. We can shop there. Don’t worry, if Rodney dares to treat Mireya badly, I promise that I’ll deal with him.”
Mrs. Lynch, who arrived not long ago, was taken away by Wendy just like that.
Mireya felt helpless as she had planned to ask her mother to help her with the breast pump. She was mentally exhausted.
At the sight of her frustrated expression, Rodney’s thin lips twitched. However, he held his tongue in the end.
After lunch, Mireya lay on the bed and was playing a game on her phone. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her phone.
“The doctor said that you should spend less time on your phone during your confinement period. Too much screen time will harm your eyes. Do you want to go blind?” Rodney tossed her phone onto the couch. “Let me remind you that you’ve spent long enough on your phone this morning.”
Mireya was already grumpy having to lie on the bed. She was aware that spending too much time on her phone was bad for her. Even so, she was ruffled by how Rodney was restricting her. “Stop restricting me. Even if I go blind, it’ll be your fault. You got me pregnant and made me give birth to the baby.”
Rodney snorted. “I’m stopping you from playing with your phone precisely because I’m worried that you’ll put the blame on me. When you go blind, you might make me…”
He suddenly paused toward the end of the sentence. Looking a little nervous, he did not continue.
Mireya gave a cold laugh. “Make you what? Make you take responsibility for it? Don’t worry, I definitely won’t make you take responsibility for it.”
“Forget it. Since you’ve given birth to my child, I can’t avoid taking responsibility for you.” Rodney scoffed. “Take a nap and don’t strain your eyes. If you think what I said isn’t right, you can call your parents and ask them whether it makes sense to restrict you.”
“Fine, you win. You even know how to snitch on me now.”
Stung by his words, Mireya started becoming glum.
She snorted with rage and lay down with her back facing him. Clearly, she could not be bothered about him.
However, her chest hurt really badly. Amid the pain, she fell asleep. All of a sudden, she felt something unusual. It was as if a weight had been lifted off her chest.
She opened her bleary eyes, only to see Rodney tidying her shirt.
Words failed her for a moment. By the time she regained her senses, she instantly screamed in terror. “Rodney Snow, you pervert— “
“Stop screaming. ” Rodney promptly covered her mouth. When he looked up, he saw a fiery glint in her eyes.
From Mireya’s flushed face, he was not sure whether she was exasperated or embarrassed. There were even angry tears in her pretty eyes.
How she wished everything was just a dream. She wished that it was not true.
Indeed, she had given birth to Rodney’s child. Nevertheless, they had only done it once. What was more, she was drunk then, so she only had hazy recollections of it.
