Chapter 246

Ever since her breakup with Melinda, Anastasia felt uneasy, with her eyelids twitching non-stop, as if something was about to happen.

Anastasia and Pattie took a cab back to Harmony Meadows, where they ran into Leo at the entrance.

Suddenly, Leo’s little boy began to cry. Leo tried to reach for a toy in the stroller to soothe him but accidentally spilled all the fruits and veggies on the ground. He was attempting to calm the child and pick up the stray tomatoes simultaneously when his phone started ringing. Clearly, Leo was flustered and irritable, struggling to manage everything.

Pattie left Anastasia and hurried over to help collect the tomatoes.

Seeing Pattie, Leo looked surprised and relieved. Pattie’s actions made him feel guilty. Anastasia also joined in, helping to retrieve the veggies and place them back in the stroller.

Leo felt embarrassed as he said, “Thanks! I didn’t realize how challenging kids can be. I used to think it was easy and would often blame my wife.”

Leo was rarely at home, so he didn’t spend much time with the child. With Penny absent, he was left to care for his son, which explained why everything seemed so chaotic. Anastasia noticed that the child’s clothes were on backward, and his socks didn’t match. The little boy stopped crying when he saw Pattie, as they had bonded due to Pattie spending a lot of time with him at home.

Anastasia said, “Taking care of kids is indeed no easy feat.”
