Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 735 Get Another One

After some time, the boy got tired and fell asleep. Leanna put him on the bed and turned around to look at Aidan.

Aidan met her eyes. "What's wrong?"

"I think you had a point."

Aidan smiled. Just when he was about to take the boy to Naomi, Leanna said, "So you're sleeping on the couch tonight."

Damn it.

Leanna didn't even give him time to respond. She sat on the bed and turned the lights off. Darkness swooped down on the room, and silvery moonlight shone through the window. The boy was sleeping soundly, but then he felt hot, so he kicked his blanket away.

Leanna pulled the boy's blanket up and covered his belly. She lay on the bed, staring at him silently, as if that was enough to make her content. Eventually, Leanna fell asleep, and when she woke up again, the boy was already hemming and hawing at her.

She tried to sit up, but before she could do anything, she felt an arm passing over her and patted the boy's shoulder. "No crying," the man whispered.

Huh.

The boy was perhaps intimidated by his father, and he babbled for a bit before he turned to face his mother and fell asleep again. Leanna was silent for a while. Blood is powerful. That was just a simple gesture, but it made the boy sleep immediately.

The man behind her lay down and wrapped his arm around her. A smile curled Leanna's lips, and she closed her eyes, going back to sleep.

Morning came. Leanna was still sleeping, but she felt something moving beside her. Slowly, she opened her eyes, and she saw the boy sitting in front of her playing with his toy happily. When he saw her waking up, the boy put his toy down, crawled over, and held her face. "Mama…"

Leanna held the boy and kissed his cheek. "Morning, sweetie."

The boy giggled. Leanna knew he must be hungry, and she was going to get him his food, but someone pushed her down. Leanna turned around and whispered, "Go back to sleep. The boy needs his breakfast."

With exhaustion in his voice, Aidan asked, "What time is it?"

Leanna was in the middle of the bed. The boy was on her right while Aidan was on her left. The phone was nowhere to be found, so she looked outside the window. The sun was rising, so she said, "Seven or eight, I guess."

The boy crawled over to Aidan and swung his hand, then he patted Aidan's cheek. "Piggy!"

Aidan and Leanna were silent for a while. Aidan opened his eyes and shot the little tyke an angry look. Noticing the impending doom, the boy went back to his mother and buried his head in her embrace. Leanna bit her lip and held her laughter back, then she got out of bed and left the room.

Once the door was closed, Aidan sat up and licked his lip. He hit me hard.

…

Naomi was already making breakfast when Leanna came down with the boy. "Here, give me the boy. You sleep in."

Leanna shook her head. "I slept early last night." She said, "You catch a break, Naomi. I'll make breakfast."

"No. Just put him in the highchair and play with him. The egg's going to be ready in a moment."

"Sure." Leanna left the kitchen, and she had just put the boy down when Waylen came from behind.

"Morning."

Leanna turned around and saw him sitting down while yawning. He obviously wanted to sleep more. She handed a toy to the boy and asked Waylen, "Why didn't you sleep in?"

"And miss breakfast? Nah."

There was a kitchen on the third floor to make sure someone would cook for the doctors, but Waylen insisted on having Naomi's breakfast. Naomi didn't say anything to that. As long as he came during meal times, he would have something to eat. If he was late, he'd have to get his own food.

Leanna was not surprised by Naomi's behavior as she was also like that when they were in Underwood Lane. Leanna said, "Can't believe you'd wake up early just for a meal."

"Not just a meal. It's Naomi's cooking. She's a great cook. I wouldn't miss it for the world."
