Chapter 247: Pest attacks

Just as I expected, when I reached the door, I could hear their murmuring voices from inside.

I pushed the door open and found the two of them cuddled together on the Superman bed in the middle of the room.

Both of them looked up when they saw me.

"What are you two doing still awake at this time?"

"Mummy, I’m telling Aunt Anna a story."

"Really?" I mused as I walked over to the bed.

"Yeah. Wanna join?" Anna asked, looking up at me.

"Of course. Why not?"

I climbed onto the other side of the bed and lay down beside them as Aimy continued her storytelling.

It was a story about some farm animals Uncle Herbert often told her.

Her voice was soft and animated as she spoke, trying her best to imitate the different animals.

Her words weren’t always clear and her grammar wasn’t very strong yet, but neither Anna nor I minded.

We listened attentively anyway.

Soon, her voice began to fade.

Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

Then slowly, she started dozing off in the middle of her story.

A smile tugged at my lips as Anna and I exchanged knowing looks.

Whenever Aimy told stories, it always ended the same way.

She eventually fell asleep halfway through.

"She’s so adorable."

Anna’s voice pulled me from my thoughts.

She leaned down and kissed Aimy’s forehead before getting off the bed with a yawn.

"Don’t stay up too late. I can’t stand you being late again tomorrow."

My smile widened.

"Goodnight to you too, Anna."

She narrowed her eyes at me.

Then she left the room, quietly closing the door behind her.

My attention returned to Aimy.

The stuffed rabbit Anna bought earlier was trapped securely in her arms.

Her chest rose and fell softly.

Long lashes rested against her cheeks.

The moonlight spilling through the window illuminated her face.

And for a moment, I simply sat there watching her.

My heart felt full.

Two years ago, I was completely hopeless when I left everything behind.

I didn’t know what the future would look like.

I didn’t know whether I was making the right decision.

But I knew that I couldn’t risk my baby’s well-being.

I knew I needed to keep moving forward, for her sake at least.

Now, looking at Aimy sleeping peacefully, I finally felt certain.

No matter how difficult the journey had been...

She was worth it.

Every sacrifice.

Every tear.

Every lonely night.

Every difficult decision.

I gently brushed a strand of hair away from her face.

"I love you, baby."

Aimy stirred slightly in her sleep.

Then she mumbled something that made me freeze.

"Love you too, Mummy..."

A small smile appeared on my face.

My eyes stung unexpectedly.

I leaned down and kissed her forehead.

Then quietly got up and turned off the lamp.

Leaving the room with the warmest feeling in my chest.

I returned to my room, freshened up, and worked for a while before finally going to bed.

The next morning, I woke up to a small figure crawling onto my bed.

"Mummy, I’m awake."

I sat up and immediately found myself looking at the little girl sitting beside me.

A smile spread across my face.

I stretched out my arms and pulled her into my embrace.

"Good morning, baby," I whispered near her ear.

"Today I’m feeding you myself, Aimy," Anna announced proudly as she placed pancakes onto her plate. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
