No wonder! At first, he seemed uninterested in this pregnancy, but later he acted as if he was eagerly anticipating the arrival of our child!
At that time, he must have already started plotting all of this with my mother–in–law!
Lily was his biological daughter too; how could he let go of her!
Just then, Andrew returned, looking freshly cleaned up.
He spoke sweet words to me but didn’t dare to hold Lily again.
I couldn’t help but smirk inwardly. It suited me just fine since Lily wasn’t keen on being held by him anyway.
“Emily, Mum just told me you’re not planning to go back to work?” Andrew asked, frowning. “Why? Didn’t you say you’d sorted things with your company?”
I replied lightly, “I just feel that Lily is still too young, and I can’t bear to leave her. I’ll spend more time with her, and if work becomes too much, I’ll step back.”
The truth was, I came from a wealthy family with two rental properties and several commercial units.
After university, I could have easily taken over the family business, but I enjoyed the feeling of forging my own path, so I’d continued working.
Now, however, protecting my precious daughter was my top priority, and I would give those two no chance to take advantage of me!
Andrew looked alarmed. “That’s not acceptable!”
His words made him seem a bit overzealous, and he softened his tone. “You know my salary isn’t high. We’ve talked about giving Lily the best life, haven’t we?”
I couldn’t help but chuckle internally.
So he knew his salary wasn’t enough–he had relied on my income to support the family all these years!
