His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 530 High Alert

Lysander glanced over, only to see Aurora clutching her tiny fists, yawning, appearing somewhat wronged as if on the verge of tears but not quite crying.

Lysander resignedly closed the video, found Aurora’s small quilt and pillow, and meticulously arranged them in the middle of the large bed.

With a gentle touch, Josiah carefully placed Aurora on the bed. Then, he climbed onto the bed himself, lying next to Aurora. He gave Lysander a look, telling her to hurry up and get in bed.

Aurora rolled over, lifting both of her tiny clenched fists. She was so tired that she could hardly keep her eyes open, yet she still fussed, resisting sleep.

Left with no other choice, Lysander took off her shoes and climbed up as well, lying down. side of Aurora.

Josiah cast his gaze down at the child nestled between the two of them. His large hand gently patted the tiny quilt, rhythmically and unhurriedly, each pat deliberate and soft.

Lysander asked. “You learned how to soothe a child to sleep?”

“Eleanor showed me how to do it, but I’ve never actually done it myself, replied Josiah.

Eleanor’s method worked pretty well. After all, if it managed to put Josiah when he was little, it would surely be effective on Aurora, too.

Aurora’s hums quieted down, and her eyelids grew heavy, eventually falling shut.

Lysander hummed a lullaby she had once heard at the hospital. After Aurora was sound asleep, s whispered to Josiah, “Aurora is asleep. I’m leaving now.”

Josiah was gently patting Aurora to sleep, having positioned himself carefully so as not to disturb her. He had been sitting without changing his posture for so long that he was feeling numbness in his hands and aching in his back. Thus, when he heard those words, he was unable to react immediately.

Lysander spoke again. “Thank you for taking care of Aurora in advance. I’ll come over again tomorrow. morning.”

In a subdued voice, Josiah responded, “I left the keycard on the shoe cabinet by the entrance.”

He was afraid Aurora would cry again, so he didn’t dare make a move. He was cautious, fearing that even a slight lift of his arm might cause the mattress to shift and disturb the baby sleeping in the middle.

Left with no other choice, Lysander had to take the longer route by getting off the bed from the other side, intending to bypass him to retrieve her keycard.

It seemed as if Aurora could sense Lysander. The baby woke up with a soft cry just as the latter slipped into her slippers.

Josiah promptly extended his large, warm, and comforting hand to adjust the small blanket. He gently patted Aurora, reassuring her, “Don’t be afraid. She isn’t leaving!”

Of course, Lysander dared not leave her bed. She hastily moved back to the head of the bed, barely daring
