Jane had thought about it before she had a child.
After the baby was born, she would sit on the sofa, hugging the baby and reading stories to them.
However, this would not happen anymore. The baby had already left her, they had passed away.
Every time she thought about it, she regretted not reading more stories to the baby or telling the baby about the world when she was pregnant.
Jane believed that the baby in her womb would be able to hear her voice.
In the years she lived in Holland, Gavin was afraid that she would indulge in the sadness of losing her baby.
So he never allowed her to attend any occasions with children present.
There were no pictures or things related to babies at home either.
Jane had hardly get in touch with a child over the years, nor had she communicated with babies. In fact, she knew that she could not take care of a child at all.
After her child had gone, she had not dared to look at the face of any children for a long time.
She was afraid that she would not be able to extricate herself from the pain of losing her child.
Therefore, she could only imagine her child's face on his birthday and draw works to comfort herself as a way to vent her depression.
Now, Roy seemed to be very familiar with her. Just as Jane sat on the sofa, he leaned directly into Jane's arms.
Jane was extremely uncomfortable at first. The kid was so little and she just couldn't push his soft body away from her arms.
Since he was about to lose his mother, and that would be caused by her.
Jane could not refuse to let him stay in her arms.
So, this scene took place in Oliver's office.
Roy seemed to treat Jane as his mother. He leaned his head against her and listened carefully to the story that Jane was reading to him.
Of course, there was no storybook in the office.
Jane could only take out her phone and find a story to read to Roy in a hurry.
When Jane was reading the story, her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
However, Roy seemed to be completely immersed in the story, he giggled from time to time.
For some reason, Jane seemed to have an illusion that her child was still alive in this world. And just like Roy, her child might be laying in their mother's arms and listening to stories happily.
Soon, she realized that she was delusional.
She was daydreaming.
As the door of the office was opened, Oliver came in.
Jane then knew that it was time for her to wake up from her dream.
Oliver looked at the two people on the sofa in surprise.
Especially the way Roy looked when he snuggled in Jane's arms, he looked exactly like a happy child.
It had been a long time since he had seen Roy smile like this.
As soon as Oliver came in, Jane stopped reading the story.
But Roy was still waiting for her to continue.
Jane whispered, "Little kid, your father is back. I should go."
As she spoke, she was about to push Roy out of her arms.
Because Jane felt that it was really inappropriate.
This was her enemy's kid. Why did she act kindly in front of a child to hide their actual relationship? It was really not the right thing to do.
However, Roy had been holding her arm tightly, you could tell that he had no intention of coming down at all.
Oliver was dumbfounded for a few seconds before he said, "Roy, Miss Kim still has other things to do, so don't waste her time."
