Lulu's phone was on silent mode since the last time it rang, it woke Jean right after she put her to sleep.
Jean was crying a long while afterward too, so Lulu always put her phone on silent to avoid that from happening again—at least it meant peace for her baby.
Earlier, she left it on the couch while washing the dirty laundry, and she was now in the bedroom to feed Jean.
Lulu did not see or hear her phone vibrating repeatedly.
And after she fed Jean, she folded the laundry and put them in the closet. Once she was done with housework, she lay in bed and took a nap with Jean in her arms.
She did not sleep well, after all—in fact, she had not gotten a good night's sleep after she and Martin consummated their marriage.
He would come on to her every night and for hours!
She therefore needed her nap to recharge during daytime.
Martin returned just then, putting some fish he brought in the kitchen. He was planning to make soup for Lulu since she has not been lactating much, and Jean was mostly drinking formula milk these days.
He worked for quite a while, gutting the fish and clearing the innards before he finally put everything into the pot.
He just bought a recipe book for soups as well, since he understood it was difficult for Lulu to raise a child alone.
Since he was still on leave, he decided to spend more time taking care of her.
When he left the kitchen, he saw Lulu's phone vibrating on the couch and he went over to pick it up.
Seeing that it was Irene, he headed to the bedroom to hand it to Lulu, but he did not wake her when he saw that she was napping.
The phone started to vibrate again, while Irene was almost losing her mind since no one was answering.
Martin hesitated for a moment, but he eventually answered it.
