Chapter 46 - Throw Everything in the Past (1/2)

Although Luna slept past midnight last night, her body clock stilled followed her daily routine and woke up at exactly 6 AM. She forced herself out of the bed, took shower, and changed into a new set of clean clothes before going downstairs to prepare breakfast for her husband and Little Amber.

However, Madam Lin had begun to prepare and serve breakfast. Luna ran to the sink in a hurry to wash her hands clean so she could ȧssist Madam Lin in the kitchen.

Madam Lin gasped as she saw Luna starting to peel and cut the vegetables she left on the kitchen counter.

”Miss Luna, you don't need to do this. Leave it to me,” she said in a panic. She was afraid that Hero would reprimand her seriously if he found out that she was letting his new wife cook. However, she couldn't help but also admire Luna Jiang for her humility. She wasn't like those women who tried to seduce their master in public.

”It's okay, Madam Lin. Don't worry about me. I've been doing this for a long time. I wouldn't cut or hurt myself.” Luna smiled at the older woman.

”Let her be, Madam Lin. As long as my wife wants it, you should listen to her.” Hero's voice took both women's attention, and they looked at his direction after.

Hero Li was standing in the doorway with Little Amber in his arms. Luna noticed the redness on the little girl's eyes and knew then that she'd been crying.

”Is everything alright?” She brought down the peeling knife from her hand and washed her hands at the sink again before wiping it dry.

”She woke up alone and thought you've left her again,” her husband replied as Luna strode towards them and wiped the tears from Little Amber's cheeks.

”Darling, I'm so sorry. Were you afraid?” she whispered to the little girl who was still sobbing.

Little Amber shook her head and extended both of her arms towards Luna, hoping her new Mommy wouldn't deny her again. Hero passed his daughter to Luna easily and moved to pull a chair in the dining area while waiting for the dishes to be served.

Luna sat across him with Little Amber on her ŀȧp. She reassured the girl that she wouldn't leave without a word again and explained that her room was just across hers so Little Amber should be able to find her easily.

Little Amber ceased her tears and sat next to her new Mommy, eating everything Luna put on her plate in silence. Hero watched the two women in his life interact and was relieved that his wife was able to stop Amber from throwing another fit.

”Why don't you resign from work and stay here at home with Amber? You should pay attention more to your health now,” Hero asked his wife as he busied himself with his breakfast.

They hadn't discussed it, and Luna was thankful that Hero brought it up.
