Chapter 61 - What Baby? (1/2)
”Why are you still awake? Shouldn't you be sleeping at this time?” Luna reached down and picked Little Amber up from the ground.
Little Amber waved her hand at her nanny to hand over her small board and pen so she could talk to her mommy.
Luna strode towards the living area, with her husband following her closely. She sat on the couch with Little Amber sitting on her ŀȧp while Hero removed his outer coat and called Madam Lin from the kitchen.
”Prepare dinner for us. Luna hasn't eaten anything for dinner yet,” he said before sitting across his wife and daughter.
Little Amber scribbled on her whiteboard and showed it to Luna.
'Because Mommy isn't home yet. I'm worried.' She was upset that her Mommy wasn't there to give her a bath and tuck her to bed like she used to.
Hero took a peek on what was written on the board and chuckled.
”I'm with your Mommy. How come you're only worried about her but not about Daddy?” he asked amusedly.
Little Amber threw a glare toward him, her face scrunched up a little before scribbling another response on her board.
'Because it was Daddy who's taken her away!'
Wasn't it because her Daddy always tries to take her Mommy's attention away from her that Little Amber had to wait until past her bedtime to make sure he'd bring her back home?
Hero laughed when she lifted her board for him to see. His daughter really adored his new wife than him. If he hadn't met Luna months ago and hadn't seen Little Amber born by his deceased wife, he would've thought the girl came out from Luna's wȯmb… which was impossible.
”Little Amber is not little anymore. With your Mommy being pregnant, you're not allowed to be lifted by Mommy anymore. You'll hurt Mommy and the baby if you insist,” he said.
It was Luna's turn to frown this time. Why was her husband treating Little Amber like this?
Don't know if it was because his wife had died, leaving him helpless how to raise the child alone; but as Luna saw it, Hero loved his daughter. However, he didn't know how to become a good father to Little Amber.
'What BABY?'
”Baby? As in our little baby. Mommy has a small baby inside her stomach. As the days pass, her tummy will grow as well as the baby. Months later, you'll see your baby brother or a sister. Don't you like it? You wouldn't be alone anymore,” Hero replied nonchalantly.
Little Amber burst into tears. What did he mean that she wasn't allowed to be held by her mommy? A new baby? She didn't want a new baby! She didn't want to share her Mommy Luna to anyone!
'Don't like!'
Absolutely cold-hearted like his father. Just like Hero—when Little Amber decided on something, it would be hard for anyone to change her mind. Now that she said that she disliked her new sibling, Hero and Luna would have a hard time convincing her that she wouldn't be forgotten when the baby arrived.
Competing with her father for her Mommy's attention was already hard enough, what more if there's another baby in the picture? Little Amber didn't want any of it.
