The Returning Ex

John turned his head to look at Sophia. “I finally slept well after holding you last night.”

Sophia huffed. “I was scared out of my wits last night when someone sneaked into my bed. I almost screamed for someone to catch the pervert.”

Curling his lips, he leaned directly against the head of the bed. “So you woke up last night and even deliberately snuggled into my arms.”

Sophia tutted at him. “I’m not gonna bicker with you anymore. I’m going to see my darling.”

With that, she went out of the room and headed to the nursery. The baby woke up a long time ago and had been carried downstairs by the postnatal caregiver.

Sophia turned around and went downstairs. When she reached the stairs, she saw the baby kicking his little feet and waving his little hands in the crib.

He had changed into red clothes, making him look very feisty. The red color also caused his skin to look fairer by contrast.
