Become a mother in one night Chapter 53
Confronted by the accusing glares from both Alex Ye and Lizzy Xia, Michelle Xia couldn't help but wonder if the two had conspired together, their reactions were eerily in sync. Michelle sat beside her daughter, the weight of her laptop pressing down on her thighs. The moment Lizzy saw her mom emerge with the laptop, her lips puckered up in unmistakable displeasure. Recalling something Sophie Ye had told her earlier, Lizzy promptly put on an exaggeratedly sad face, eyes moistening and blinking up at Michelle. She patiently waited for Michelle to ask, "What's wrong, Lizzy?" so she could playfully respond. Michelle fell silent, looking at Lizzy's theatrics. She wondered, *What's gotten into her today? Pretending to be upset just to act cute?* There was an amused helplessness in Michelle's thoughts. Yet, as she gazed at the young face before her, so reminiscent of her own, all Michelle could do was sigh internally. In a playful imitation of her daughter's wounded demeanor, Michelle pl

Confronted with Lizzy's question, Sophie's proud expression froze as she pondered. If her mother acted that way with her, what would she do? But, her mother had never acted that way with her! Sophie was momentarily flustered, but seeing Lizzy's big, expectant eyes, she couldn't admit to not knowing. She mustered her thoughts, "Hmm, hold on a sec, Lizzy. Let me think." Lizzy nodded eagerly, having absolute trust in Sophie's wisdom. Sophie tried hard to recall if her mother had ever acted that way with her. When she realized she hadn't, she remembered how her father had acted playfully with her mother. Her young mind made a quick connection: Mother = Adult, Father = Adult. Father acting cute = Adult acting cute = Mother acting cute. So, how did her father act when being playful with her mother? With a mature tone far beyond her years, Sophie advised Lizzy, "There's nothing you can do but to pamper them." Lizzy, confused: "????" Lizzy Xia's small head was full of questions,

When Alex Ye made such a gesture, Michelle Xia couldn't decline any further. She took the cake he offered, murmuring a polite, "Thank you."Hearing her words, Alex lifted his gaze to meet hers, an evident displeasure at her formal courtesy. "Stop always saying 'thank you'," he hinted.Understanding dawned on Michelle. "Alright, next time I'll bring you something tasty in return," she replied. Instead of verbal gratitude, she grasped the idea of expressing appreciation through actions. "I get it," she said, nodding her understanding.Alex merely pressed his lips together, observing her without response. For a moment, he wondered whether Michelle was genuinely naive or just pretending. Maybe his gaze was too intense, a little piercing. Michelle hesitated, asking, "Is something wrong, Mr. Ye?"Alex responded, "...Nothing." Then, he turned away, deciding to get some fresh air on the balcony.Watching his retreating figure, Michelle pondered, *Mr. Ye seems a bit off lately.*Although cons

Perhaps it was the differences in life experiences, past history, and personal character, but Alex Ye's and Michelle Xia's views on raising Lizzy Xia were not exactly aligned.Living under someone else's roof, for the time being, Michelle didn't voice her opinion when she overheard Alex's playful deceptions with Lizzy. To her, it was harmless fun. However, that night after Lizzy went to bed, Alex felt compelled to clarify things with Michelle.Michelle, absorbed in the plot of her novel, wasn't really bothered by the whole situation and only listened half-heartedly, nodding her head in a noncommittal manner.Michelle: "Mhm, mhm, mhm."Alex: "..."Seeing that she wasn't bothered by it, he felt it was best not to press the matter. If she was fine with it, then there was nothing more to say....As autumn gave way to winter, Rivenhold was covered in layer upon layer of snow, creating a uniquely beautiful winter scene, though it was indeed chilling. Before arriving in this world, Michelle

It was likely because Michelle Xia had spent time playing in the snow with the children that she caught a cold, leading to a fever.The next morning, Michelle woke up feeling a fog enveloping her mind, as if someone had whacked her head with a stick. Even breathing felt like a laborious task. Dazedly, she got up from bed and moved to the dining table to have her breakfast. Her mind seemed miles away, and it wasn’t until the child called out to her a couple of times that she snapped back to reality.She gave a gentle smile to the child and ruffled their hair, asking, "What's up, Lizzy?" Her voice was nasal, and her throat sounded scratchy, making speaking appear to be a strenuous task.Hearing her voice, Alex Ye looked up at her, a frown creasing his forehead. He was about to suggest having Dr. Lu come over to check on her when he remembered Dr. Lu was away in Europe for a conference that week. "Do you think you need to visit the hospital?" Alex asked, already aware of her probable res

With a simple statement, "Follow the doctor's orders," Alex Ye made the decision for Michelle Xia, leaving her somewhat displeased.Michelle's face remained expressionless, her feelings manifesting clearly on her visage. Seeing her demeanor, Alex fell silent.After some contemplation, he offered, “Would you like me to bring your laptop over?”Before Michelle could answer, the doctor who overheard them responded sternly, "The patient needs to rest." This raised the doctor's suspicions about the nature of their relationship. The thought of a young woman working so hard that she fell ill, and a man still wanting to exploit her, seemed inhumane to the physician. With this thought, the doctor cast a sympathetic glance at the young woman.Receiving the doctor's pitiful look, Michelle thought, "...What?"Although the doctor strongly advised her to rest, Michelle asked Alex to bring her laptop. In her mind, working on her computer was just a matter of moving her fingers, so it wouldn’t confli

After ending her call with Leonard Chen, Michelle Xia stole a glance at Alex Ye.She wasn't entirely aware of the significance of the 'Star Path' project to NexRealm Studios, but she did know they had poured a hefty sum into its early phases.Alex, not one to eavesdrop on someone's phone conversation, waited patiently for Michelle to finish her call. Once it seemed she was done, he approached her, "What do you fancy for lunch?"Michelle was taken aback by Alex's persistence on the matter, even waiting over ten minutes just to ask her. Wanting to send him away as soon as possible, she replied nonchalantly, "Plain rice porridge and pickled vegetables, I guess."Alex stared at her, a silent acknowledgment of her dismissive tone, but Michelle chose to ignore it.With Alex finally out of the way, she let out a sigh of relief and began drafting her update for the day. However, not long after, her mind started to haze and drowsiness seeped in. Combined with her struggles in typing, her work

After playing around with Lizzy, who was quite the drama queen, it was time for dinner.Since Michelle wasn't feeling particularly hungry due to her illness, Nora Su had specially prepared porridge for her, complemented with pickled vegetables.Michelle was a bit taken aback by the extent of the care. She was not picky and found the vegetables mixed with porridge quite appetizing.Nora, worried that Michelle might get hungry later, made an extra portion, so she could reheat it if needed.After dinner, Michelle prepared to take her medicine. But because of her decreased updates for the day, her subscription count had dropped. This made her feel uneasy, leading her to consider burning the midnight oil to make up for it.Alex Ye seemed to sense her internal debate. Seeing her linger near the water dispenser, he feigned getting water for Lizzy and casually mentioned, “Flu can relapse easily. It's best if you rest early."Then, turning to Nora Su, he inquired, “Do we have any coffee? I’d l
