Chapter 31 A Nutritious Breakfast
Tess frowned slightly, as if dreaming of something bad.
Finn held his breath.
Suddenly, he met a pair of round, blue eyes.

The baby had woken up at some point, staring at him wide–eyed, not crying, not fussing.
Almost like she was curious about him.
His heart skipped a beat. The baby began to squirm restlessly.
Noticing the movement, Tess slowly woke, eyes still hazy, and saw her daughter’s aggrieved look.
Maybe it was because the restaurant was too crowded earlier–La had shown no interest in eating and only drank half her milk.
She was probably hungry now.
Tess gently stroked her cheek, then expertly unbuttoned her shirt to nurse her.
Tasting the familiar milk, La narrowed her eyes in contentment.
The bedroom was silent; the only sound was her soft sucking–peaceful and still.
As if no one had evere here. Except–the divorce papers by the bed were gone.
Finn didn’t even remember how he got back to the car.
Zane looked at his gloomy expression, concerned. “Mr. Lock, did you see Mrs. Lock? She wouldn’te back with us?<b>” </b>
He nced behind him–no one there.
“Are there any ces for rent nearby?”
Finn suddenly asked.
The question caught Zane off guard, but he quickly nodded. “This neighborhood’s a bit old. A lot of the houses are rented to students and interns from the nearby university.”

Finn pressed his lips together, his gaze unfocused. He stared into the air, lost in thought.
As apetent assistant, Zane knew better than to ask. Though confused, he nodded in
response.
Finn said nothing more, sitting still like a statue, eyes fixed on the dark window.
“Let’s go.”
Only when Finn rubbed his brow in exhaustion did Lin Bin start the car and drive away.
That night, La was unusually restless. Tess didn’t fall into a deep sleep until thetter half of the night.
The next morning, sunlight poured into the room.
Knock, knock …
The bedroom door was knocked. Tess rubbed her
eyes and got up.
Charles stood at the door, smiling brightly, like the little pine tree by the window.
“Sleep well?”
He blinked, eyes sparkling like stars.
Tess yawned instinctively, then quickly covered her mouth and gave a sheepish smile. “You seem in a good mood.”
Her reaction made Charles pause, a trace of doubt shing in his eyes. He nced inside.
The divorce papers that were supposed to be by the bed were gone.
“Uh… Tess, you didn’t notice anything?”
He asked tentatively.
Tess looked at him nkly. “Notice what?”
Charles suddenly felt like something was off.
He was sure he’d left the papers therest night. Did they fall to the floor?

They couldn’t just vanish, right?
Charles’s strange reaction made Tess alert. “What’s going on?”
“N–No, nothing. Since you’re up, let’s eat, Tess. I’ve already made breakfast.”
He quickly changed the subject.
Just then, La also woke up, waving her chubby little hands in the air and babbling.
“She’s probably hungry. I’ll go make her some form.”
Charles offered and hurried out. “Tess, freshen up ande quick, or it’ll get cold!”
Not long after, Tess came to the table, dressed and holding La.

Though there were only two people, the table was covered in food–sausages, omelets, oatmeal, bread, milk …
What <i>a </i>well–bnced and nutritious breakfast.
Tess couldn’t help but smile. “Just the two of us–why so much food?”
Charles scratched his head, a little embarrassed. “Online it says, even after giving birth, moms still need good nutrition. I don’t know what you like, so I made a bit of everything.”
His shy awkwardness almost made Tessugh, but a warmth spread in her chest.
She hadn’t expected that, even in her current state, the intern she once casually advised would care for her like this.
Life really is unpredictable.
She sighed inwardly<i>, </i>biting into the soft omelet. There was a quiet charm to mornings like this.
She made a note to repay Charles’s kindness someday.

“Don’t you have work today?”
She asked casually, like an older rtive making small talk.
But as soon as the words left her mouth, her fork froze. She regretted it a little.
He was technically herndlord now–acting like some elder was a bit much.

“In the mornings, I either y basketball or cook. The fridge is running low. I need to restockter. Want toe with me, Tess?”
