Ex-husband, Please Respect Yourself novel Chapter 35

Before Cathy answered, the man looked up at her and smiled softly, "But now she likes you too."

She was startled and suddenly felt unnatural. She turned her face to see Mila and pretended not to understand the meaning. "I like her very much too, and I hope she can be like a normal child. If my help works for her, I'd like to spend more time with her.

"Thank you, Cathy." The man looked at her deeply.

Cathy grinned stiffly. "Matt, we said don't say thanks to me. You help me so much. I should take care of Mila and I hope that she can be good sincerely.”

Nothing was more important than a child. No matter what their relationship was, she couldn't ignore the child.

Matt looked at her, and wanted to talk several times, but in the end he just smiled and said nothing more.

The two chatted for a while, feeling that it was a little late, and the man got up. "Then I go back with Mila. You rest early."

Cathy stood up at the same time. "Well, I'll give you a ride."

The man looked at the little girl on the ground with a smile. "Mila, we're going home."

The girl was staring at the picture album intently. The man called her a few times before she looked up at him with her small face. After a few seconds, she blinked her big eyes and slowly shook her head.

Matt was surprised, "Shake your head? You don't want to go?"

Mila looked at him, then turned her head to Cathy, and then nodded her head slightly.

The man didn’t whether to laugh or cry and went over to carry her up. "But it's too late. We should go home and let the aunt rest. We'll come back another day, OK?"

Mila shook her head vigorously in his arms. She began to grieve. Then she pulled Cathy's sleeve with her small hands and pouted her lips slowly.

"Don't cry..." The man felt helpless, rubbed her head and cajoled softly, "If you want to see the picture album, let's take it on the way home and see it."

Cathy also grinned and pinched her face. " Aunt will give you the picture album?"

Matt nodded to her, "We're leaving. We can see ourselves out. Take an early rest."

Cathy took them to the door, looked at the small face lying on the man's shoulder. When she just waved to her, the little girl's cried suddenly. The tears quickly rolled down.

She was shocked. "Matt."

The man happened to see. He frowned, "Mila, what's wrong?"

She didn't speak, and she didn't know what was wrong with her.

Cathy looked at the little girl crying like she was holding her breath and dared not speak out. She couldn't bear it at once. She went over to take her back from his arms and said, "Let her stay. I'll take care of her tonight."

"How can we do that? You are pregnant and have to go to work tomorrow. I can't let her bother you. I'll take her back and cajole.

Cathy patted the girl on the back and smiled at him. "No problem. If I can't , my mother will help me. She must have more experience in cajoling children than we have."

Matt rubbed his eyebrows,"This girl..."

Cathy raised his eyebrows and joked, "You won't be jealous me, will you? Let her stay here all night and I will give her back to you tomorrow morning."

He accompanied with Mila everyday. If she was not be with him one day, he would not be used to it.

The man didn’t know whether to cry or laugh by her words. "If you like it, you can help me take care of her every day."

"Well, I'll trouble you tonight. I'll pick her up tomorrow morning."
