Yep, from now on, he was my own son!
The little dumpling seemed surprised by what I said. His tiny body trembled slightly and his chubby cheeks turned bright red. He nervously gripped the hem of his shirt and shyly called out: “Mo…mmy?”
After saying it, he ducked his head in embarrassment, peeking up at me now and then.
Oh my goodness!
–
Forget about the dad this son was all mine now!!
I cleared my throat and gave a solemn “Mm–hmm.”
Then I turned to the housekeeper who had been standing nearby and said, “I’ll take care, of the child from here. You can go about your business.”
“Very well, Mrs. Quinn.”
This feeling was absolutely amazing!
I tried to contain my excitement and act nonchalant as I gently scooped up the little dumpling.
Then, with Ethan in one arm and the teddy bear in the other, Lheaded upstairs.
I’d been to the house a few times before the wedding, so I was familiar with the general layout.
My husband really lived up to his big shot status a six–story mansion with three elevators and two small gardens.
Even the decor was grand and Impressive,

Even the decor was grand and impressive.
I brought Ethan to the room Nathan had prepared for me and placed the teddy bear next
to the pillow.
“Ethan, I’m sorry I didn’t have a gift prepared for you. But this necklace pendant is very
important to me. Would you like to keep it safe for Mommy?”
“I’ll look at it every day,” he promised solemnly.
I fastened it around his neck and he looked so happy.
“How about you sleep with Mommy tonight, and then tomorrow I’ll take you to preschool?
Is that okay?” I asked, keeping my voice soft and gentle.
If my friends could see how sweet I was being, they’d probably think I’d been possessed
or something.
“Okay” came his soft reply.
