My eyelashes trembled, and I couldn’t even force a smile.
“It’s okay, keep going.”
I didn’t argue or get angry, and I checked the first item on the list.
Only upon closer listening could one detect the tremble in my voice: “When the baby grows a bit older, we’ll have to start feeding him solid foods.”
Next, I led Joey into the kitchen and instructed him on how to make baby food: “First, prepare the rice cereal, then add a little mashed potato and a bit of walnut oil.”
Joey had never been in the kitchen before, but he learned quickly and made the baby food in just a few minutes.
I saw him take a picture and send it to Stacy to show off his achievement.
Even though my heart had long turned to ashes, I still felt ironic and relieved.
I was relieved that I didn’t let the baby be born in such a family, and I was also relieved that the baby didn’t have to bear the mistakes of his parents.
I turned my red eyes away and checked the second item on the list.
The third thing was to prepare baby railings and crawling mats for Joey.
Joey happily chose them and was very interested in setting up a corner in the living room by himself.
The fourth thing was to find a suitable kindergarten for the baby.
Joey happily looked at many kindergartens and finally chose a bilingual kindergarten with a tuition fee of 120,000
yuan per semester.
When choosing, he held me tightly and sighed in my ear, “We can’t let our child lose at the starting line. She wants anything, and I will satisfy her.”
“Honey, let’s have a baby, okay?”
When he said this, it seemed that he really wanted to have a child with me and wanted to run this family well.
But it was better this way. The deeper Joey gets immersed in this dream of a family of three, the more he’ll feel the pain when the truth shatters his illusions-
just like I did, as if his heart were being torn apart and pierced by a thousand arrows.
After a busy day, I patted his arm and told him to go take a bath.
Joey reluctantly let go of me and went to the bathroom to wash.
