The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 464

Unfortunately, I gave birth to a son. The hairstyling skills I had learned had no place to shine.

But now, I had a daughter. Every day, I could style her hair in all kinds of beautiful designs.

Today, I braided Willow's hair into a new style. She stood in front of the mirror with neatly woven braids.

Her round, adorable cheeks reflected in the glass as she blinked her eyes and exclaimed, "Who is this? She's way too cute!"

Her unabashed self-praise made me smile uncontrollably. Playing along, I said, "Maybe she's from the Huxham family?"

Willow turned to me, saying, "You're really lucky!"

I didn't know where she developed such an adult-like tone, but the childish innocence in her words made her all the more endearing.

I couldn't resist reaching out and pinching her little cheeks. "That's right. Everyone must be so envious of me for having such an amazing daughter."

Willow nodded and added, "And I bet all the other kids are jealous of me for having a mom as great as you. Mommy, I love you."

I scooped her into my arms. "I love you too."
