No Strings Attached

Elle aimed her phone at Clara and said, "Clara, let me take a picture of you and Roy. When Bran wakes up, take a few more with her. Looking at their photos will brighten your mood." Clara fully understood Elle's intention. She gave a bitter smile and turned Roy's face towards the camera. Looking down at him, she said, "Sweetie, look at Mommy, let's take a selfie." Roy's bright eyes sparkled as he looked at her, his little fist in his mouth.

Clara pointed towards Elle and said, "Honey, I'm asking you to look at Mommy. Mommy is taking our picture."

Roy continued to gaze at her, babbling something incomprehensible with his little mouth.

Anders walked in just in time to witness this scene. He whispered in Elle's ear, "This kid is perceptive. He knows who his mom is."

Elle nudged him and gave him a look. Then she took many photos of Clara and Roy with her phone.

Soon enough, Clara felt Roy moving around below. She looked at Elle in surprise, "Elle, I think he might have made a mess."

Elle immediately put down her phone and was about to run over, but Anders grabbed her. "Clara, I need to talk to Elle about something. Could you change Roy for us? You wouldn't mind, would you?" Clara laughed, "Of course not. He's my beloved nephew."

She placed Roy on the changing table, carefully opening his diaper. Sure enough, Roy had made quite a mess.

Far from being disgusted, Clara felt a surge of happiness. She had attended parenting classes during her pregnancy and knew exactly what to do. Quickly, she cleaned Roy up and put on a fresh diaper. The little guy kicked his legs excitedly, clearly enjoying Clara's touch and her voice.

From the moment Clara arrived until

she left, Roy was like a little kitten, sticking close to Clara. When his little brother woke up, Clara held him, but Roy got so upset that

be

started crying loudly. Clara had no choice but to put the little brother

down and quickly take Roy back into

her arms.

Seeing this, the whole family felt a bit sad. Roy's innate fondness for Clara took everyone by surprise.

Anders chuckled and pinched his little face. "You like Aunt Clara so much. How about when you grow up, you go live with Aunt Clara? Would that be alright?"

Roy seemed quite happy with that idea, beaming a toothless smile upon hearing those words.

Anders laughed, "Such an ungrateful little guy, forgetting who's been getting up in the middle of the night to feed you."

He looked at Clara and said, "We're leaving tomorrow. This place is all yours now You're now the largest shareholder of the law firm. Once get to Riddleton, I'll set up a branch office there so that we can support each other."

Clara nodded lightly, "Alright, I won't let you down."

Hearing this, Elle kicked him. "Why do you always bring up the worst topic? You know that Clara's feeling down, yet you still mention it. Are you dumb?"

Anders rubbed his head, smiling. "Alright, my mistake. I won't mention it again. Honey, don't be mad."

"Right now, you're just the father of our three kids, nothing more. Anders, remember your place."
