My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 1175

I shook my head and said gently, "It's okay. I've gone through similar experiences when I looked after Anne. Every time she cried, I did not know how to comfort her except nurse her. It was my first time being a mother, so I was also at a loss."

Shirley paused for a while, probably not expecting that I would tell her such things. Then, she bowed her head and pursed her lips as if to suppress her emotions. After a long time, she smiled bitterly and said, "I used to think that everything would take a good turn if I had a child for Irvin. However, after giving birth, I seemed to have lost everything, but also gained everything..."

As a mother, Shirley had sacrificed so much and lost everything. But because of her child, she had gained so much too...

I smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, you will gain so much more eventually!"

She was stunned and didn't quite understand what I meant. She looked at me with confusion.

I didn't explain. Seeing that she had comforted the baby, I left my coat on her and said, "You must have come in a hurry, and hence, did not pack much. I'll go back and pack some warm clothes

for you. The weather will get very cold in the next few days."

"Okay," she said and looked at me for a long time. Then, she stammered uncomfortably, "You and him, are..."

"Friends!" I said decisively and quickly. "I have my own family. You don't have to regard me as an imaginary enemy, and I hope that you and him can get along well."

She looked at me and bit her lips, "Arianna, thank you!"

I shook my head and smiled, "You don't have to thank me. I owe him too much."

Coming out of the hospital and getting into the car, my heart was still filled with panic. Could men truly be loyal? They were able to neglect their wives for the sake of another relationship!

Cradling the baby in my arms, I coaxed him as if he was Anne. Although I wasn't his mother, cradling him had a comforting effect.

After a long time of coaxing, the little baby finally stopped crying. He looked at me with a pair of watery eyes, and seemed a little confused.

Florence then came in. Probably when they had a quarrel just now, she opted to leave them alone. After all, it was a family issue. It wouldn't be nice for her to get involved.

She glanced at me and I handed the baby in my arms to her and said, "Mrs. Granger may be downstairs. Could you help me send these things down? She might not have eaten anything yet, tell her to have some of this food."

Florence was stunned for a moment. Then, she took the baby and also the food that I had brought and left.
