Although Mrs . Shen claimed to be uncomfortable being filmed, she remained within the frame .
She reached for the milk bottle next to her and tested the temperature of the milk before putting it into the infant’s mouth .
The infant seemed to have lost his urge to cry .
He sucked on the bottle with his chubby hands clutching the bottle firmly . He gulped down the milk eagerly .
Mrs . Shen held Little Moon in her arms with a joyful smile on her face .
They looked like a happy family!
Shen Manting felt a complicated mix of emotions in her heart .
As she stared at the baby in the video, she felt an increasingly intense desire to reach out and hold him in her arms .
“Are you done watching yet?”
Shen Luo’an took his phone back from her .
Shen Manting panicked and reached out to snatch it from him .
But she only managed to grab Shen Luo’an’s other hand .
He blocked her with his hand and glanced at her indifferently .
Shen Manting’s heart sank . A moment later, she sheepishly withdrew her hand .
“Now that you’ve watched the video, you may leave,” Shen Luo’an said coldly . He placed his phone back into his pocket . “I have to go home to see my son . ”
Those words sounded irresistibly tempting to Shen Manting .
She also wanted to see her baby, Little Moon!
But how should she plead with him?
Shen Manting’s lips moved, yet no words came out .
Shen Luo’an stared at her from the corner of his narrowed eyes, then turned around and left .
Without hesitation, without delay . Shen Manting watched as he walked farther and farther away . Her heart felt even emptier .
She followed him silently from behind, wincing her hands with her gaze fixed on his back .
Shen Luo’an seemed to have noticed her . He abruptly stopped in his tracks .
Shen Manting continued walking forward . She stood in front of him with her head slightly lowered and said, “Shen Luo’an, I want to see him . ”
“Haven’t you seen him just now?” Shen Luo’an spoke without turning around to face her . He demanded with his back to her, “What else do you want?”
“You know I won’t be content with watching a video of him!” Shen Manting bit her lower lip . Her voice trembled as she tried to choke back tears . “I haven’t seen him for so long . ”
Shen Luo’an grimaced at her . “You asked for this!”
With a final sneer, he walked away swiftly .
He walked several times faster than his usual pace!
Shen Manting knew she was to blame, but her desire to see her baby grew unbearable . She continued trailing him discreetly .
A neighbor spotted Shen Manting and exclaimed in surprise, “You’re back, Manting!”
Shen Manting stiffened and halted her steps .
Shen Luo’an kept walking toward home .
For some unknown reason, Shen Manting couldn’t help feeling shivers all over her body when she looked at the neighbor .
He didn’t turn around to dismiss her, yet Shen Manting suddenly stood rooted to the spot .
She followed his back with her gaze as he walked farther ahead, and soon he was gone .
One of the neighbors, a middle-aged woman, glanced at Shen Manting and then at Shen Luo’an . She asked, “Did you quarrel?”
She took a closer look at Shen Manting and cried, “You look so pale! You’ve lost so much weight . You used to be fleshier back then!”
Shen Manting felt her body tense up . She turned around quickly and muttered, “You’ve got the wrong person . ”Then she hurried away .
She gradually picked up the pace and finally broke into a run .
Shen Manting was panting as she ran, her heart pounding wildly in her chest . Tears were already streaming down her cheeks .
She caught her breath, wiped the tears from her eyes, and boarded the subway back .
Shen Luo’an walked all the way home without turning back .
He didn’t notice when Shen Manting had stopped following him .
Upon realizing that she was no longer behind him, he suddenly lost the motivation to keep walking .
