Forgotten Wife My Ex-Husband Regrets It After I Left (Clara and Liam) novel Chapter 226

Sienna’s POV

“Nooo!” Noah protested cutely. He obediently settled back into the tub. I took a cup and carefully poured warm water over his tiny body ensuring all the soap was rinsed off.

“Mommy if Noah is capable of performing a move then

Mommy must address Noah as Master Noah,” he declared in a proud commanding voice despite bubbles still clinging to his ears.

“Master Noah?” I suppressed a chuckle. “Wow, that’s quite a title. Does Mommy have to pay respect now?”

“Yes!” He nodded decisively. “If Mommy won’t, Noah will seize Mommy using his method!”

Flifted an eyebrow pretending to be surprised. “Which method?”

Noah raised his hands theatrically into a stance I had no clue where he picked up. “THE SUPER HUG MOVE!!”

Then abruptly he clasped my arm firmly. Buried his face into my shoulder. Cozy. Gentle. Immediately I surrendered.

I giggled quietly stroking his back. “Oh no Mommy can’t move now. Master Noah is just too strong.”

He chuckled, then reclined more. I dripped water onto his head, cleansing his silky black hair until it was spotless.

After confirming all was rinsed off I tapped the rim of thetub.

“All set. Now it’s time to step outside and dry off.”

Noah raised his arms for me to pick him up from the tub. I swathed him in a towel holding him tightly to warm his small wet frame.

“Mommy,” he murmured softly, resting his cheek on my shoulder. “When Noah grows strong Mommy shouldn’t feel sad anymore alright?”

I stood still. My heart skipped a beat.

I held him closer. “Mommy feels joyful now that Noah is with us.”

He sang quietly to himself. “Once Noah is big Noah will keep Mommy safe. Truly.”

I nodded, quickly swallowing a feeling before it could surface. “Mommy trusts you. Mommy truly does.”

I softly towel-dried his hair. Massaged baby lotion onto his delicate skin. Noah remained patient even though his legs kept bouncing like drums that wouldn’t stay still.

Next I put on a shirt and shorts. Noah burst out of the bathroom yelling “Noah smells nice! Mommy smells meeee!”

1 ran after him. Pressed a kiss on his cheek. “Mmm tastes like strawberries.””He’ll also give Daddy a kiss later!” he said with pride.

AlL could do was grin. Nod my head.

Seeing him dash about the living room I recognized how deeply my life was now enriched with moments of laughter, like this. I never wish to let it slip away.

– Noah was perched on the kitchen counter swinging his legs back and forth. I had just completed setting out the ingredients when he leaned in, his eyes shining brightly.

“Mommy.” His deep tone clearly indicated he was scheming. “Noah wants to assist with cooking tonight.”

I folded my arms gazing at him.

“Assist? Seriously? Not the same as before? When Noah promised to assist but instead consumed the carrots individually until only half remained?”

Noah winced, his face flushing a shade reminiscent of apples._

“Noah was merely checking the quality to determine whether the carrots were sweet.”

I looked at him, lifting an eyebrow. “Super cutting style?

Wow Mommy has never come across that. Is it some kind of method?”

Noah nodded enthusiastically, his hair bobbing. “Yes!

Only tough kids are able to do it!”

I smiled, feeling my heart warm more. Everything gains significance when viewed from a child’s perspective. Even carrots turn into champions.

Afterward he noticed something more thrilling.

“Mommy look! This one resembles the moon!” he exclaimed, gesturing towards an oval piece.”This one resembles a dinosaur!” he remarked regarding a fragment that appeared more, like a stone.

“I’m impressed by Noah’s creativity ” I complimented him.

He appeared proud so proud that he quickened his chopping.

This naturally caused a carrot fragment to launch from the board like a missile drop and roll beneath the kitchen cabinet.

Noah stood still.

I did too seeing the carrot vanish like a downed aircraft into a ravine.

He faced me gradually, his face a blend of remorse and humor.

“Umm,” he whispered. “The carrot is being mischievous, Mommy. It escaped.”
