Chapter 62 - Whatever My Wife Says Is Right (1/2)

”Don't say that. I thought my Little Amber will understand me.”

Amber was the princess of this household, and everyone took priority of her. For Little Amber, the sudden news about the baby would threaten not only her position within the family but also her share of her parents' love and attention.

When Hero finished dinner, he rose to his feet and offered a hand to his wife. Luna was confused by his actions but accepted his offer nonetheless. As she stood up from the table, Hero released her and picked up his child. However, Little Amber refused.

Instead, she ran towards Luna and hugged her leg tightly.

”Amber Li! Do not test my patience!” He lifted her up from her seat, and Little Amber struggle in his hold and screamed her frustrations at the top of her lungs.

”Don't, Hero. It's alright.” Luna snatched Little Amber from him, and the girl buried her head in Luna's embrace.

Luna's heart ached as she heard the girl sob in her arms, with her body trembling in fear towards her father. Her temper rose again seeing the girl like this.

”Hero Li, I know Little Amber isn't mine and I'm only just her stepmother; but don't you dare raise a hand at her! I already said this, but she's still a child. She needed love and patience more than ever. How can you be so harsh towards your own child? Don't make me regret marrying you!” She spat out, her face was full of disapproval.

Luna didn't know if it was caused by her mood swings because, normally, she'd never dare to raise her voice to anyone—especially to her boss. However, she was glad that she was able to give him a piece of her mind, or she might forever regret not standing up for Little Amber.

Hero was stunned for a moment before the end of his lips lifted.

”Fine. Since my wife said I'm wrong, then it's my fault. Whatever my wife says is right.”

”Don't cry. Mommy will always be with you from now on.” Luna wiped the tears from Amber's face. ”Our Little Amber wasn't getting younger, and soon she'll grow up as a lady. However, I hope she won't forget that even if she grew up, she'll always be her Mommy's baby.” Luna pinched the girl's cheek lightly, making Little Amber smile.

When they arrived upstairs Luna put Little Amber to bed, coaxing her to sleep while Hero leaned his back at the doorway, watching the two women in his life.

Luna fought hard not to roll her eyes. Couldn't he even take a moment to look after his own child?

Once Little Amber had fallen asleep, the two slipped out of her room silently. Before her husband could walk away, Luna bit her lip and took all the courage she had to apologize to him.
