A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 211

"One scoop of milk, pour in water, shake, test temperature," Ivy murmured as she

prepared Cole's formula. Monica had taught her how to do it, and she was

surprised she'd gotten it right on the first try.

She placed the bottle against her cheek. When it felt just right, she dropped it on

the table and went to carry Cole.

He cried the moment she lifted him.

"Easy now, food is here," she whispered, picking up the bottle.

Slowly but steadily, she fed him, her heart pounding as she watched him suck on

the teat.

His slow breathing, the way his tiny hand held her finger, the fluttering of his eyes,

all softened her. And in that vulnerable moment, she wanted to keep him forever.

The realization hit her hard: she actually liked little Cole despite everything.

He wasn't just Mason's child; he was Cheryl's child-the baby she had once

wanted to put everything on hold for, even before he was born.

A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

"Hey, Ivy," it was Theresa.

"Come in," she said.

Theresa stepped in and noticed her expression. "Oh, Ivy. Are you okay?"

Ivy looked away. Theresa sat beside her and Cole, rubbing her back gently.

"It's... a lot," Ivy whispered.

"I completely understand," Theresa replied softly. "But you know, you're under no

obligation to care for him."

"I know," Ivy said. "I just... can't hate him..."

"Which is normal. He was supposed to be your godson, and then everything got

messy. Don't feel guilty for loving him. You're only human, Ivy."

Ivy swallowed, Theresa's word sinking in. She was only human and little Cole was

an innocent baby. Setting the almost empty bottle on the table, she lifted him to

her shoulder to burp him.

"You're a natural," Theresa teased.

Ivy laughed.

Cole let out a loud belch, making them both laugh again. She laid him gently on

the bed, where he cooed softly before drifting off to sleep.

"Where's Silas?" Theresa asked.

"He's working downstairs."

Theresa's cheeks turned red. "Did he tell you about the... lawsuit?"

Ivy turned to her. "What lawsuit?"

Theresa told her about the reporter's case.

Ivy's eyes widened. "I'm so sorry, T."
