Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Jane noticed the baby lying on Serenity's left and immediately crawled over, curious. She tried to climb over Serenity to touch the baby. Jane quickly picked her up. "Avah, no crawling around. Your little brother is sleeping-don't wake him up."

Avah squirmed in her arms, leaning toward Serenity, still wanting to see the baby. To her, he was just another one of her dolls.

Enzo, still on Serenity's lap, spotted a small toy nearby as Avah leaned toward the

baby.

He reached for it, thinking it was his.

"Enzo, that's not a toy-that's your little brother," Serenity explained, smiling.

Enzo looked at the baby, then back at Serenity, then over to his mom.
