Thinking that she had gone a bit too far just now, Mireya did not hurl insults at him nor chase him away.
Amid her sleep, she heard Dani crying in the middle of the night. She had no choice but to carry Dani and breastfeed her.
When Mireya was feeding Dani, Rodney lay on his side.
After breastfeeding, Dani was still awake and she refused to lie on the bed. Therefore, Rodney carried her and paced up and down the bedroom.
At first, Mireya planned to go to bed only after Dani was asleep. However, she could not resist her fatigue and fell asleep first.
When she woke up the next day, it was already 7:00 a.m.
She glanced at Rodney, who was sleeping with Dani in his embrace, on the other side of the bed. The two of them were sleeping soundly. Rodney was even flashing a sweet smile, revealing his two dimples. It made Mireya wonder what he was dreaming about.
Her heart instantly melted.
Then, she dragged herself down the stairs without bothering them.
The sitter had prepared a delicious confinement meal for her. Not only was the meal nutritious but there were also a variety of dishes.
Mrs. Lynch walked out and asked, “Where’s Dani and Rodney? Are they still sleeping?”
Before Mireya could answer, the sitter sighed and said, “Little Miss only fell asleep at six in the morning. When I was about to go out to buy groceries, I saw Young Master Snow carrying her while pacing up and down the living room.”
Mireya was stunned. She remembered that it was 3:00 a.m. when she woke up last night. Did it mean that Dani did not fall asleep soon after that?
“What a night owl Dani is. It’ll be troublesome if she sleeps this late every day.” Mrs. Lynch sighed. ” Let’s not disturb the two of them. You can set aside some food for Rodney later.”
Mireya said, “Dani wasn’t like this in the hospital two days ago. She slept quite well.”
“Babies usually sleep more the first few days after they’re born. After getting adapted to the environment bit by bit, they’ll start making a fuss. They say babies love to sleep during their mothers’ confinement period. But from what I’ve observed, most babies don’t really sleep at night.”
After Mrs. Lynch finished speaking, she stared at Mireya with a long face. “I reckon it’s because you slept late when you were pregnant. Dani’s biological clock is probably all messed up.”
Mireya was ashamed. It was true that she did sleep quite late at times. Although Rodney was strict with her and always urged her to go to bed before 9:30 p.m., she would not listen to him. After returning to her room, she would lock the door and secretly play games on her phone. Rodney would sometimes go to the office during the day. No matter how busy he was at work, he would get off work at 5:30 p.m. sharp to accompany his child at home.
Nevertheless, Dani had ultimately become a night owl. She always woke up around 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. and played until 5:00 or 6:00 a.m. Only then was she willing to sleep.
After feeding Dani, Mireya sometimes watched Rodney play with Dani in the middle of the night. No matter how hard-hearted she was, she could not help but say, “Why don’t… you take a nap? I’ll carry her.”
“No need. My mom said you’re weak after giving birth to Dani. Carrying her will hurt your arm. You can just rest and sleep.”
Once Rodney was done speaking nonchalantly, he carried Dani downstairs to avoid disturbing Mireya.
Lying on the bed alone, Mireya had difficulty falling asleep.
After all, she was not that cold-hearted. Given that Rodney had to work during the day and take care of Dani during the night, she was aware of how taxing it was for him. In fact, she also knew that Rodney could have asked the sitter to do certain tasks.
However, he would settle the child’s matters on his own whenever he was at home.
Mireya could not help but text Cate on WhatsApp. It was still daytime in Country Y.
Cate replied: [I admire you so much. My confinement period wasn’t as great as yours. I had to do everything myself. I hardly got to rest at night.]
Mireya: [Enough, you rich woman. You’re currently living in a chateau. I’ve never even lived in a chateau my whole life.]
Cate: [Haha. You should be content. You know how much I suffered when I gave birth to the twins, don’t you? Although I live well now, you’re aware of the tough times I went through back then. If it weren’t for your help, I might’ve gone mad.]
Mireya recalled those days in spite of herself. As an onlooker, she had taken great pity on Cate who was suffering so much at that time.
At the thought of it, Mireya felt that she was indeed a lot luckier than Cate during her confinement period.
In the blink of an eye, Dani was one month old. The Snow family held a grand celebration for her.
Dani might be young, but Jason was so generous and reserved the top floor of Zenith Hotel to hold a grand banquet for his granddaughter.
Mireya, the mother of the main character that night, was finally done with confinement. She wanted to be dressed to the nines for the occasion. Sadly, the moment she opened her wardrobe, it hit her that she had eaten so well during her confinement period in the past one month that she… was fatter now.
In the end, Mireya chose to wear a branded black maxi dress for the occasion.
Of course, the dress was unable to highlight the S- shaped curves she used to have, but it could at least hide her rolls of fat.
That night, Mireya and Rodney attended the banquet together while carrying Dani.
Rodney wore an apricot-colored suit with a shirt, vest, tie, and coat. Coupled with his handsome face, he looked like a star walking on the red carpet.
Mireya felt sad for herself. She was probably the first woman who paled into insignificance when compared to her other half.
The minute they walked in, she saw many young women fixing their sparkling eyes on Rodney.
Those women then glanced at Mireya, their eyes carrying an inexpressible feeling…
Mireya was at a loss for words.
Why did they have to go so far? After all, she used to be a ravishingly beautiful woman as well.
She swore that she had to start going on a diet from tomorrow onward. She must strive to get her perfect body back within the next three months.
“Mireya…”
Cate elegantly walked up to her in a champagne -colored gown. After not seeing her for a month, she realized that Mireya had become prettier. With the lights shining on her shoulders and collarbone, Mireya looked pretty and stunning like a vixen.
Following closely beside her was Shaun. He was dressed in a dark suit, and the gorgeous lights shone on his flawless features. There were a pair of fraternal twins by their side. Suzie was wearing a princess dress while Lucas was wearing a suit. The four of them were more striking than anyone else.
Gazing at them, the guests began to whisper.
” Shaun and Cate’s children are really good- looking. They make me feel like giving birth.”
“Forget it. Do you think you can give birth to fraternal twins as you please? What’s more, our looks can’t compare to Cate and Shaun’s.”
“By the way, the two of them remarried, didn’t they? I heard Wesley has been left high and dry.”
“I’m not sure, but it seems that the two of them no longer work. They always hang out together.”
“Hey, Cate’s mom is an oil magnate. I heard that Shaun’s dad, Brennan Lowe, is the chairman of Garson Corporation, which is one of the top loo transnational companies in the world. Even if Cate and Shaun don’t work, they have money to burn.”
“Oh, how lucky of them. Rumor has it that their combined wealth can impact a country. Not only do they have a chateau, yacht, private jet, and a private island, but they also have a private winery.
Compared to them, we’re insignificant.”
Those words left Cate speechless.
What did Sheryl’s wealth have to do with her? In truth, she was not that wealthy.
The yacht and chateau were not hers as they belonged to Shaun’s dad.
As for the private island, it was Matthew, that b*stard, who insisted on giving it to her. He had many private islands under his name but did not manage to visit each of them.
Of course, Cate rejected his offer. Hence, Matthew got Minister Mead to transfer the ownership of the private island to Suzie and Lucas instead. As a result, the news was exposed.
“Cate, you didn’t even tell me that you own a private island now. Tsk. Take me there someday. ” Mireya walked toward her and winked with a grin.
“Forget it. It was an offer from Matthew, but I’m not going to accept it. I’m trying to avoid being involved with Sheryl as much as possible, ” Cate replied coldly.
“But Sheryl has publicly acknowledged you as her daughter. Also, when Titus was interviewed by reporters from all over the world, he said that he would treat you like his own daughter and he thinks highly of you.”
Mireya smiled as she darted a look at Shaun beside her. “Young Master Lyons, there are quite many rich young men visiting the Snows lately. They’ve been asking me to introduce Cate to them. With Cate’s current status, I suppose it’s a good idea to make them her kept men even if they don’t deserve to marry her.”
Shaun’s face darkened. “She has me, and that’s more than enough for her. If she has a few more kept men, she’ll drop dead.”
The sudden flirting left Cate feeling dazed. By the time she came to her senses, she wished the ground would swallow her up.
“Great job, Shaun.” Rodney threw an admiring look at Shaun.
