Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

There was no need for an alarm clock—Enzo’s daily crying always brought everyone back from their tasks.

During the day, the nanny and old lady cared for Enzo, while Jane and Ben worked. They only had time with him in the mornings and evenings.

But every day, when Enzo woke up and didn’t see his mother, he’d cry for a long time until someone calmed him down.

Ben often joked that Enzo was trying to steal Jane from him, which made her laugh and cry. Jane never complained that Ben treated Avah like a princess. If Ben teased that Enzo was stealing Jane, then Avah must be trying to steal Ben, too. When Ben held Avah, he was a doting father, completely focused on her.
