True Love Waits

Chapter 1108 What's So Wrong With Doing What Dad Wants

Erica pushed the stroller around the neighborhood. She passed by a pregnant woman out for a walk. She was obviously not very far along. When the woman noticed the baby in the stroller, she walked over and said, "Hi, little one! You're so cute! How old is he?"

"Less than two months old," Erica said.

"I hope my kid'll be as cute as he is. Is he on breast milk or formula?"

Erica's mouth twitched. Instead of answering, she asked, "You must have moved here recently, huh?"

The pregnant woman was surprised by her question. "Why, yes! How did you know?"

With a faint smile, the girl said casually, "Because everyone around here knows me. And they pretty much keep their distance. Especially if they're pregnant."

"Why would they do that?" This confused the other woman even more.

Just then, a man strode over to them. 'Probably the woman's husband,' Erica thought. He nervously took the pregnant woman in his arms and stared at Erica warily, "I'm sorry, Miss Li. We'll leave you alone. Honey, let's go!"

The pregnant woman didn't know what he was talking about, but followed her husband anyway. As they moved away, she asked, "Who is she? It almost seems like you're afraid of her."

"That's Miss Troublemaker, all grown up. She's the youngest daughter of the Li family. She's also unpredictable and reckless. You'd do well to stay away from her. Everyone else does. See the baby stroller she's pushing? That kid was born out of wedlock. She wouldn't even tell her family who the father was. See what I mean now?"

The man's voice got further and further away. Eventually he was out of earshot.

Standing under the tree silently for a while, Erica walked to the front of the stroller, squatted down and pinched the little boy's face, smiling sweetly. "Don't worry, Feb. No matter what they say, I won't leave you. I'm not like that."

When the baby saw her smile, he gave her a cute smile in return. Or was it just gas? There was a lot of guesswork to parenting an infant.
