Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1348

Just as he fell deep into thoughts, he suddenly heard Melissa’s cries. Her adorable little face entered his mind unbidden, and he felt compelled to hold her so he turned around and walked out. He found Melanie anxiously trying to soothe the bawling baby, looking completely helpless. “I’ll take her downstairs,” he said, “Fresh air will be good for her. Maybe she’ll stop crying.”

Melanie thought she was having auditory hallucinations. This was his first time patiently offering to help with the baby. She stared at him apprehensively for a few seconds before she handed the baby over to him. “She’s been crying a lot lately, I’m so tired. If you can take care of her for a while, I’ll take a nap. Just an hour will do, even half an hour is fine too.”

He took the baby and cradled her gently in his arms. “It’s not like we don’t have maids. One of them should know how to take care of a baby. Leave her with them if you really can’t do it.”

Melanie shook her head. “I can’t do that. I’ll do it myself. It’s fine if I’m a little exhausted. Things will get better when she’s older. She’ll be more attached to me if I take care of her. She’s the only one I can count on now. Otherwise, am I supposed to count on you?”

Alejandro raised an eyebrow and said, “If I were you, I wouldn’t count on a one-month-old baby. I’m your man. Are you hoping for her to take care of you once she grows up and gets married? Stupid.”

‘I’m your man’. Those words caused a thousand ripples in Melanie’s heart. That was his first time explicitly acknowledging their relationship…

Seeing the dazed expression on her face, he carried Melissa toward the staircase. “Hurry up and take your nap. I can’t handle her when she wants her milk.”

The fog in her heart had lifted. “Okay!” Melanie cheerfully replied.

Aristotle had gained a fondness for playing with his food lately. Soon, the table in front of him was a mess of mashed peas, cereal, and applesauce.

Arianne had already tried her best to clean up, but she was no match for him. In the end, she waited until he was done before she began to clean up.

Mark glanced at Aristotle, an arrogant frown could be seen on his face. “Sloppy. Can’t your son be a little cleaner? If he can’t eat properly, feed him. Look at this, it’s everywhere. Filthy.”

Aristotle’s tiny ears were very sharp. He was upset when he heard this and threw some of the food in his bowl at Mark with his spoon. The back of Mark’s hand was stained with mashed peas in just a blink of an eye, he did not even have time to avoid it. The corner of his eye twitched in anger. “I’d teach you a lesson on respecting your elders right now if your mother weren’t here. The nerve of you, rebelling against me at such a young age. What’s going to happen when you’re much older? Don’t you think that you’ve been a naughty boy? Hmm?”
