Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Lilian often had to go on long journeys, sometimes for as short as three to five days, or as long as ten days to half a month. Tim often found himself alone in an empty room with their son, waiting for his wife to return.

This time, as Lilian embarked on another journey, Tim didn’t know when she would be back.

He understood that Lilian was primarily leaving to serve as Grandpa Jimenez’s personal doctor and nurse, safeguarding his life. Other elderly seniors would be there as well, so Tim was at a loss for words.

“I’ll come back when Grandpa Jimenez returns to the Stone Family,” Lilian said, linking her arm with his. “While I’m away, you should spend more time with our son. Think about how pitiful he is. As a mother, I’m often not by his side. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but it’s only the nanny who takes care of him. You’re busy during the week, so you can only spend time with him at night.”

Tim responded, “Why should he be pitiful? He doesn’t realize how fortunate he is. He’s still a very happy child. With the master taking care of him, he barely knows who I am, so why would he need me, his father, to be around? The master will take care of everything.”

Tim was relieved knowing his father-in-law was there.

Tim was too embarrassed to admit that he secretly wished his father-in-law would retire and live at FC Manor, allowing him and Lilian to take care of him.

The old man had no children of his own, only one disciple—Lilian, who was both his beloved disciple and daughter.
