Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 Take Care of Ethan

"Deal."

At first, Avery thought he agreed too quickly, but when she pushed open the small door and prepared to find Ethan, she was amazed by the scenery before her.

The landscape was beautiful, with a clear blue sky, azure sea, and lush green mountains.

It was an island surrounded by the sea as if it had been abandoned by the world.

So he didn't need to threaten her because there was no signal there. She could scream all she wanted, but no one would hear her.

As long as they had no intention of harming Ethan, Avery didn't plan on doing anything dangerous.

In the instant the wooden door was pushed open, Ethan was crawling on the ground, chasing a little cat.

His clothes were already dusty, but he looked extremely happy, giggling.

He made sounds like "meow".

"This child doesn't have the temperament of a young master at all. He's quite obedient. I really like him."

Avery said, already rushing towards Ethan with open arms. Ethan happily called out, "Mommy!"

Carl was puzzled. "Is this really not your child?"

Avery felt a bit sad and said, "He's young, so he calls anyone 'mommy.'"

"That's not necessarily true. The nanny tried to feed him because she was afraid he would be hungry, but he didn't even spare her a glance."

Avery recalled that the child seemed to have called her "mommy" the first time they met.

She wondered if her own child, who died before he was born, had somehow been reincarnated into him, which explained their close bond.

"Oh, the little guy has soiled himself." Carl pinched his nose, causing his face mask to deform.

Lois came out beside them, saying, "Miss, give him to me. I'll clean him up."

Subconsciously, Avery didn't want to hand over the child. "I'll do it."

Lois poured hot water into a basin. It was Avery's first time bathing a child, and she fumbled clumsily. However, Ethan didn't become impatient; instead, he happily lay on her leg, laughing.

After washing, Lois used a cloth cut from clothes to dry Ethan and put a diaper on him.

Lois, in her fifties with white hair, rough fingers, and wrinkled face, smiled kindly and slightly awkwardly, saying, "Miss, please don't mind. We don't have those fancy things from the city here. We can only use diapers as a substitute."

Carl had already taken off his face mask, revealing a handsome face. He earnestly explained, "Lois was afraid of hurting the little guy, so she even cut up her own warm clothes. She only has one set, which Frank gave her on her birthday."

Avery looked at the faded floral diaper that had been washed numerous times and felt a mix of emotions for a moment.
