The woman’s smile grew even brighter when she heard someone compliment her child’s cuteness, andshe- stated without a hint of modesty, “Right? I think so, too. Aurora is almost seven months old now.I’ve taken her out quite a bit recently, and the most compliment I’ve received is that she’s adorable.Luckily, she truly
After taking a more meticulous look at Aurora, Lysander added, “Actually, she’s not just cute, Yourdaughter’s love for laughter makes it clear that she is blessed.”

The woman was elated upon hearing that. After putting her belongings down, she said, “Since she’s solikable, may I ask you for a favor?”
“Me?”
The woman nodded with a smile. “I need to grab some food. I was so focused on finding a seat that Iforgot to get breakfast. Could you watch over her for a bit for me?”
They met for the first time that day and hadn’t even known each other for ten minutes, so such arequest was utterly unexpected.
Lysander wore a bewildered expression upon hearing that. “Sure, but… you don’t even know who Iam.”
The woman immediately replied. “It’s okay. Meeting you is fate. Besides, I can tell you’re a goodperson. Taking care of her is quite simple. All you need to do is cradle her to watch the birds outside.
Even if she can’t find me, she won’t cry.”
As she spoke, she reached out and lifted Aurora out of the baby stroller, carefully placing her inLysander’s
arms.
Suddenly, Lysander found herself holding a tiny, soft bundle capable of laughing and moving. Instantly.she became nervous.
Fortunately, Aurora wasn’t shy with strangers. Even in the arms of a stranger, she still laughed andlooked around as usual, showing no signs of anxiety from being separated from her mother.
Upon seeing that, Lysander’s nervousness abated. She carried Aurora steady with the skills she honedfrom her experience in the obstetrics and gynecology department.
The woman exclaimed in admiration and commented, “From the way you hold her, you’re clearly anexpert. Do you have a child, too? I’ve never heard Josiah mention it.”
“No.” Lysander knew she didn’t mean anything. A fleeting shadow crossed her eyes, yet she continued.nonchalantly, “I just had a lot of practice holding babies, but it used to be newborns. I worked in theobstetrics and gynecology department.”
The woman’s eyes lit up. “So, you’re a doctor! That puts me at ease. I’ll be back shortly. It won’t takelong.”
Before her words had left her lips, she had already spun around and darted to the other side of therestaurant, lining up for the freshly baked egg tarts.
With a child less than a year old in her arms, Lysander dared not move much. When she could nolonger see the woman’s figure, she lowered her head anxiously and greeted Aurora, “Hello there,
Aurora.”

the pair of bright and black eyes. Framing them were thick, curly eyelashes, giving her the appearanceof a doll. When she met Lysander’s gaze, she immediately broke into a smile.
“Oh!” She lifted her petite hand and pointed out the window, babbling away. It seemed like she wastrying to communicate with her newly acquainted friend.
Initially Lysander thought she would be locked in a staring contest with Aurora for quite some time.However, seeing that she was not frightened of her at all, she immediately felt at ease. “Be good anddon’t cry. Your mommy will be back soon.”
Aurora blinked a few times in faux understanding before reaching out with a soft hand and graspinghers.
Lysander’s heart immediately melted. She couldn’t care less about the economic news she readhalfway. The phone on the table remained untouched by her until the screen went dark.
The space around the square table was limited. Concerned that Aurora might be uncomfortable,Lysander instinctively shifted her chair back a bit for her to sit more comfortably in her arms.
A little over half a year old, Aurora was in a stage of exploring the world. After getting close toLysander, who was full of goodwill, she temporarily lost interest in the view outside the window and
started playing with her instead.
She was still too young to speak, even her inflections somewhat garbled, but the upward lilt in her voicewas clearly filled with excitement. Her round and chubby face bounced slightly, rendering her just like asugar–glazed honey bun.
Lysander lifted her hand and gently pinched Aurora’s cheek. “You’re just too adorable.”
The sensation at her fingertips was incredibly smooth, even more so than the tenderest bean curd. Nowonder everyone says a baby’s skin is the best.
“Oh.” Fond of Lysander, Aurora happily played with the tassels on her shirt. Suddenly, a pair of massivehands reached over from the side and lifted her away.
They were long, slender, and broad, unmistakably those of a man.
Lysander was startled, ready to stand up without hesitation to snatch Aurora back. But when sherecognized the person, she let out a sigh of relief and said, “Oh, it’s you.”
With a hand supporting Aurora’s thighs and the other on her waist, Josiah held her securely and asked,“Where did this baby come from?”
Not in the mood to argue with him, Lysander said, “Just give the baby back to me.”
She genuinely didn’t trust his ability to take care of children, especially such a young baby, and shewould have no way of explaining it to Aurbra’s mother later if he scared her into crying.
Josiah, however, had no intention of doing so. Instead, he casually took a seat beside her. “Justyesterday. we were hoping for a child. Today, our wish has come true.”
Following that, Lysander had no choice but to explain, “She’s the daughter of a young lady sharing thetable with me. Her mother went to get some food and will be back soon.”
Josiah appeared slightly taken aback, his brows furrowed. “I can’t believe someone would dare entrustsuch a young child to a complete stranger she just met. Her mother is too reckless.”

His words struck a chord with Lysander. Nodding, she extended her hands and said, “Hand her over tome. Don’t make her cry.”
As she spoke, her gaze fell on Aurora’s petite face. To her surprise, she showed no signs of being onthe
of crying. Instead, she was comfortably playing with Josiah’s cufflinks. The cufflinks, studded withteardrop–shaped small diamonds, were incredibly eye–catching with their sparkling brilliance.

Her personality really does mirror her mother’s, cheerful and outgoing. This kind of baby is the best totake care of.
Nonetheless, Lysander was still a bit worried. She looked closely, only to find that not only was Josiah’sgrip steady, but he also had a familiar case about him.
“When did you learn how to hold a child?” she asked in wonder.
The corners of Josiah’s mouth curved up. He held Aurora closer against his chest protectively and saidin a low voice. “Right after we parted ways, Eleanor taught me for a while.”
The initial period of their separation was also the time when their child had just been aborted.
Lysander never expected that he even went out of his way to learn that from Eleanor.novelbin
