Chapter 505 He Held The Child With Familiar Ease

The woman’s smile grew even brighter when she heard someone compliment her child’s cuteness, and she- stated without a hint of modesty, “Right? I think so, too. Aurora is almost seven months old now. I’ve taken her out quite a bit recently, and the most compliment I’ve received is that she’s adorable. Luckily, she truly
After taking a more meticulous look at Aurora, Lysander added, “Actually, she’s not just cute, Your daughter’s love for laughter makes it clear that she is blessed.”
an
The woman was elated upon hearing that. After putting her belongings down, she said, “Since she’s so likable, may I ask you for a favor?”
“Me?”
The woman nodded with a smile. “I need to grab some food. I was so focused on finding a seat that I forgot to get breakfast. Could you watch over her for a bit for me?”
They met for the first time that day and hadn’t even known each other for ten minutes, so such a request was utterly unexpected.
Lysander wore a bewildered expression upon hearing that. “Sure, but… you don’t even know who I am.”
The woman immediately replied. “It’s okay. Meeting you is fate. Besides, I can tell you’re a good person. Taking care of her is quite simple. All you need to do is cradle her to watch the birds outside. Even if she can’t find me, she won’t cry.”
As she spoke, she reached out and lifted Aurora out of the baby stroller, carefully placing her in Lysander’s
arms.
Suddenly, Lysander found herself holding a tiny, soft bundle capable of laughing and moving. Instantly. she became nervous.
Fortunately, Aurora wasn’t shy with strangers. Even in the arms of a stranger, she still laughed and looked around as usual, showing no signs of anxiety from being separated from her mother.
Upon seeing that, Lysander’s nervousness abated. She carried Aurora steady with the skills she honed from her experience in the obstetrics and gynecology department.
The woman exclaimed in admiration and commented, “From the way you hold her, you’re clearly an expert. Do you have a child, too? I’ve never heard Josiah mention it.”
“No.” Lysander knew she didn’t mean anything. A fleeting shadow crossed her eyes, yet she continued. nonchalantly, “I just had a lot of practice holding babies, but it used to be newborns. I worked in the obstetrics and gynecology department.”
The woman’s eyes lit up. “So, you’re a doctor! That puts me at ease. I’ll be back shortly. It won’t take long.”
Before her words had left her lips, she had already spun around and darted to the other side of the restaurant, lining up for the freshly baked egg tarts.
With a child less than a year old in her arms, Lysander dared not move much. When she could no longer see the woman’s figure, she lowered her head anxiously and greeted Aurora, “Hello there, Aurora.”

the pair of bright and black eyes. Framing them were thick, curly eyelashes, giving her the appearance of a doll. When she met Lysander’s gaze, she immediately broke into a smile.
“Oh!” She lifted her petite hand and pointed out the window, babbling away. It seemed like she was trying to communicate with her newly acquainted friend.
Initially Lysander thought she would be locked in a staring contest with Aurora for quite some time. However, seeing that she was not frightened of her at all, she immediately felt at ease. “Be good and don’t cry. Your mommy will be back soon.”
Aurora blinked a few times in faux understanding before reaching out with a soft hand and grasping hers.
Lysander’s heart immediately melted. She couldn’t care less about the economic news she read halfway. The phone on the table remained untouched by her until the screen went dark.
A little over half a year old, Aurora was in a stage of exploring the world. After getting close to Lysander, who was full of goodwill, she temporarily lost interest in the view outside the window and started playing with her instead.
She was still too young to speak, even her inflections somewhat garbled, but the upward lilt in her voice was clearly filled with excitement. Her round and chubby face bounced slightly, rendering her just like a sugar–glazed honey bun.
“Oh.” Fond of Lysander, Aurora happily played with the tassels on her shirt. Suddenly, a pair of massive hands reached over from the side and lifted her away.
Lysander was startled, ready to stand up without hesitation to snatch Aurora back. But when she recognized the person, she let out a sigh of relief and said, “Oh, it’s you.”
With a hand supporting Aurora’s thighs and the other on her waist, Josiah held her securely and asked, “Where did this baby come from?”
Not in the mood to argue with him, Lysander said, “Just give the baby back to me.”
Following that, Lysander had no choice but to explain, “She’s the daughter of a young lady sharing the table with me. Her mother went to get some food and will be back soon.”
Josiah appeared slightly taken aback, his brows furrowed. “I can’t believe someone would dare entrust such a young child to a complete stranger she just met. Her mother is too reckless.”

Update pls~...
Why no update ???...
Chapters 692 693 ans 694 are impossible to read. Not sure if there was an issue with translation.but the words do not make sense..impossible to follow story line...
I cant get over the fact that the writer is trying to show as if the male lead has committed a grave sin. First he didnt know she was pregnant because she never told him. Second right from the start she never communicated anything. She was unbothered even during her marriage. I am not saying the male lead is great but atleast he seems like a human with emotions unlike her. And there is no context for why she is so emotionless....
The female lead is not charming but an unbothered b word, there is a very big difference. There is no point of extending this story at all because even if you write 1000+ chapters at 1001 the male lead would still be doing everything for her and she wouldnt bat an eye even if someone killed him. I mean honestly either the start should have been written better where we do understand that she was deeply affected because of her divorce or just STOPPPPP. Even for fiction it is annoying....
