Become a mother in one night Chapter 42
Michelle Xia was uncertain about what an appropriate gift would be for a male friend. In the end, she settled on something that she believed was a safe choice and unlikely to be misconstrued—tea leaves.She wasn't sure if Alex Ye enjoyed tea, but she knew Eleanor Ye did. If Alex was exclusively a coffee drinker, then he could always pass the tea along to Eleanor.She had chosen black tea, which was known for being gentle on the stomach. She had done her homework before making the purchase, opting for a high-end variety, confident that it wouldn't be looked down upon.However...This was her first time gifting something to a man who wasn't a family member, and she was undeniably nervous.Especially given the nuanced relationship between them.Michelle tried to maintain her composure, her smile graceful and poised, genuine in her gratitude towards Alex.When she handed over the gift box with both hands, Alex glanced up at her.He offered a subtle smile, accepting her gift with a slightl

Michelle wasn't sure if it was Lizzy's innocent remark that had gotten to her, but she felt that Alex Ye had been... particularly attentive towards her lately.For instance, in the mornings when Alex would drop the kids off at kindergarten, he would casually ask if she wanted to join them. He'd also inquire if she was heading to the gym and at what time. Alex even mentioned knowing a very reliable personal trainer, asking if she would like an introduction.Michelle politely declined, "My current trainer is quite good."Alex responded with equal tact, "The trainer I mentioned is quite experienced."Understanding dawned on Michelle. "Ah, a female trainer. I see."It was well known that gyms could be breeding grounds for flings and affairs.Lifting her eyes to meet Alex's gaze, she admired his refined and handsome features. His gentle and compassionate eyes evoked a protective fondness in her. Offering a perfect, graceful smile, Michelle's voice was soft and gentle as she reassured, "Yes

Alex Ye returned home to find a large bouquet of red roses casually placed on the table. Knowing Michelle Xia's personality, he reckoned she had probably just set the flowers aside upon receiving them. "Nicely done," he mumbled to himself with a hint of sarcasm before instructing Nora Su to dispose of them.Nora, who was in the kitchen preparing dinner, was taken aback by his request.He handed the bouquet to Nora and said dismissively, "If Miss Xia doesn't like them, then just throw them away."Nora glanced between Alex and Michelle, holding the bouquet with an expression that said she was at a loss for words. She descended the stairs, holding the bouquet, and upon reaching the trash cans below, she pondered, "What kind of waste do these count as?"As she was about to dispose of the bouquet, she noticed a card nestled between the roses. Curiously, she opened it and read, "Some companions are not beside you, but always in your heart. - Brandon Su."Upon seeing the sender's name, Nora

That night, Michelle Xia had a dream.In her dream, she recalled the day she had taken a feverish Lizzy Xia to the Ye residence, seeking assistance. The Ye family had provided her with a significant sum of money, and she had left, with her child remaining behind. At the Ye residence, Lizzy grew up surrounded by warmth and affection, mainly from Alex Ye, Sebastian Ye, and Eleanor Ye. It was almost a carefree environment.As time passed and Lizzy grew older, Alex Ye entered into a marriage alliance with a prominent heiress from Rivenhold. This heiress was aware of Alex's child, Lizzy, and was accepting of her presence. In fact, she was quite fond of Lizzy, admiring her adorable features. However, Lizzy struggled to accept this stranger as her new "mother". The arrival of this unfamiliar figure made young Lizzy anxious and sensitive. She became prone to crying and showing temper tantrums.Haunted by memories of her mother leaving her behind, Lizzy began doubting the Ye family's intention

Alex Ye gazed calmly at Michelle Xia. In just three seconds, a whirlwind of emotions surged through him - from astonishment to confusion, and finally, disbelief. He was certain that Eleanor Ye had gossiped with Michelle Xia the previous night.Although he understood that Eleanor had only the best intentions, he wasn't fond of her approach and felt somewhat irritated."What did my mom tell you last night?" he inquired.Michelle studied Alex's unchanging expression, unsure of how to gauge his emotions. After a moment's hesitation, she nodded, "Yes, she did."Alex paused for a moment before sharing, "Marriage is inevitable for me, but it's not happening just yet."As long as he remained single, there was always a chance that the Ye family would arrange a union with another heiress. It was inescapable. Of course, such arrangements can be broken, much like how Nathan Ye had been in a hurry to marry Aria Cheng.For now, the Ye family wouldn’t be hasty in forcing a union on him, firstly due

Initially, Brandon Su's editor was not "fafa". When Brandon first joined ScribeSphere, the website arranged for him to work under the editorial head, Victor Hale. However, only a few days passed before Brandon chose to switch to fafa's team.At that time, Brandon visited the company to hand in his copyright documents. Upon seeing the lady editor known as the face of ScribeSphere, he did not hesitate to leave Victor, the rugged man, and immediately joined fafa's side.Due to a shortage of staff, Victor Hale, also doubling up as the Chief of Operations, was about to switch roles. He planned to distribute his authors to other editors soon, including Brandon. Technically, Lulu, having seniority next to Victor in the editing department, should have been chosen for Brandon. Yet, Brandon proactively picked fafa.An editor's commission is tied to the subscription numbers of the articles written by their authors. Brandon, being a pillar of ScribeSphere, naturally had impressive subscription nu

Michelle Xia stared at the text displayed in the small browser window and silently closed it.She had already given Lulu, her editor, a heads up, but Lulu neither replied to her messages nor accepted her application. Instead, she outright rejected it.Michelle Xia sighed internally, wondering aloud, "Is this person out of their mind?"Michelle didn't need to share the news of the rejected application because Alyssa had already heard about it from Damien and Cola. If Alyssa had initially helped Michelle out of a genuine desire not to let Michelle's talent go to waste, now it was more out of disdain for Lulu. Alyssa was prepared to confront Lulu head-on. When Brandon Su disappeared without updating his work, Lulu had ridiculed Alyssa, even resorting to personal attacks. All the inside stories about Brandon Su were well-known within the editorial department. When Brandon dated a few internet celebrities, the nasty comments Lulu made about him had been hard to stomach.Alyssa had never h

Alex Ye had once imagined that their baby might be like Lizzy: soft, sweet, and utterly adorable, like a heart-melting marshmallow. However, their baby and Lizzy, the marshmallow, were nothing alike.Ella was not the type of baby who craved affection. Even before she could talk or walk, she rarely smiled or showed interest when adults tried to play with her. If Michelle tried to engage her, she'd give a minimal reaction. But if it was Alex or Lizzy, she'd simply close her eyes and pretend to sleep.In front of a baby, not everyone is treated equally.Thus, both Alex and Lizzy felt a bit defeated.Eleanor Ye, however, was quite surprised by Ella's demeanor. She remarked to Alex, "You were just like this as a baby. When your dad and I tried to play with you, you wouldn't even look at us."So, Alex realized that the baby's temperament was inherited from him; he was the root cause of it all.Even though Ella wasn't particularly sociable, it didn't stop Alex and Lizzy from showering her wi

Lizzy Xia was deeply troubled by the birth of her younger sister. She had often heard adults say that younger sisters were delicate, needing constant pampering, love, and affection. They shouldn't be scolded or disciplined. So, with a little sister in tow, what was she supposed to do?This dilemma haunted Lizzy daily, distracting her so much that she even forgot her routine of seeking affection from her mom.One day, after returning from kindergarten, Lizzy's first instinct was to check on her baby sister, bypassing her usual routine of seeking affection from Michelle. It had been quite some time since she had shown her mother her typical, childlike affection, and Michelle couldn't help but feel puzzled.She asked her husband, "Do you think Lizzy doesn't like me anymore? Why doesn't she come to me for cuddles anymore?"Alex, taken aback by the change in Lizzy's behavior, hadn't expected Lizzy's affection for her sister to surpass her love for Michelle. He had previously assumed that

Little brother is being naughty. He keeps bullying mommy!”Hearing the slightly aggrieved childish tone, Mr. Ye couldn't help but set aside his work and sighed.Alex Ye lifted his daughter onto his lap, his voice gentle, “What did the little brother do?”In reality, they didn't know whether Michelle Xia was expecting a boy or a girl. But, in Lizzy's min

While Alex Ye pondered how he might explain the situation to his little girl, Lizzy Xia interjected with visible concern, “Mommy is sick. We need to take her to the doctor!”“Not only that, she’ll need shots and medicine! Last time I was sick, I had to get shots and take medicine. So Mommy will need the same!”Hearing the urgency in Lizzy’s voice, Alex paused before reassuring her, “Don’t worry, Lizzy. Mommy isn't sick.”Relieved, Lizzy thought to herself, "Good, as long as Mommy isn’t sick." However, with her round, inquisitive eyes fixed on Alex, she pressed, “Then why is Mommy always sleeping?”She recalled that, in the past, whenever she returned from kindergarten, her mother, Michelle Xia, would be hard at work writing, always available for a cuddle. Now, it seemed all Michelle did was sleep, depriving Lizzy of her cherished snuggles.Pondering her question, Alex seemed momentarily at a loss. “I honestly don’t know,” he finally admitted.Disappointed in her father’s response, Li

That same night, Michelle Xia was sleeping alongside Lizzy Xia. Lizzy was a well-behaved child when she slept, barely moving when nestled in Michelle's arms, which made it quite a comfortable experience for Michelle. Of course, sleeping next to Mr. Ye was also comfortable, but it could sometimes be exhausting. Moreover, Mr. Ye always woke up early and would occasionally playfully disturb her sleep.Michelle strongly believed that part of her recent fatigue was because she was waking up too early in the morning. She had hoped that by sleeping with Lizzy, she could catch a few more moments of sleep since Lizzy wasn’t an early riser like Alex Ye.However, the next morning, a blaring alarm startled Michelle from her sleep. The sudden loud noise made her heart jump, thinking for a moment she might be having a heart attack.Lizzy, still groggy from sleep, slowly climbed out of bed. She found the source of the noise and turned off the alarm. As she did, realization dawned on her. She had hi

Shortly after the birth of her baby brother, whom they affectionately called "Liam", Lizzy Xia would frequently pester Michelle Xia to let her visit him. It was evident that Lizzy adored her little brother immensely.One day, Michelle curiously asked her daughter whether she would prefer a younger brother or sister. Without hesitation, Lizzy solemnly replied, "I don't want Mommy to be in pain. I don't need a brother or a sister." Michelle was momentarily stunned by the child's sincere expression, then laughed softly, ruffling Lizzy's hair. How could her child be so endearingly considerate at such a young age, empathizing with her mother's discomfort?Michelle had a vague intuition that something might be amiss when she realized her menstrual cycle was off. Recalling the past, it dawned upon her that it had been a while since her last period. Upon mentioning her suspicion to Alex Ye, he looked at her with an "I thought you'd never notice" expression. Alex commented, "I was expecting y

Michelle Xia woke up to find something warm and soft tucked into her embrace, providing an added comfort. Without a second thought, she knew it was her sticky little daughter, Lizzy, who must have sneaked into her bed for some shared slumber. Even though she was now awake, Michelle was in no hurry to rise, especially with a snuggly little one in her arms. The desire to stay in bed was even stronger. Lizzy, despite being an early riser unlike her mother, was half-awake. Sensing Michelle's alertness, Lizzy too came to full consciousness.Lizzy Xia's voice was soft and sweet as she cooed to Michelle Xia, wanting kisses, cuddles, and to nuzzle against her cheek. Yet, she carefully avoided mentioning why she was on her mother's bed.Michelle playfully asked the little one, "Lizzy, how did you end up on mommy's bed?"With wide innocent eyes, Lizzy feigned innocence, saying, "Because mommy wanted Lizzy to sleep with her, so Lizzy appeared on mommy's bed!"Michelle tried to stifle her laugh

Lizzy Xia promised to give her unicorn toy to Liam, and when she made promises, especially to kids, she kept them. Though parting with her toy was painful for her, the thought of little Liam, who was afraid of the dark and would cry when awakened by nightmares, tugged at her heart. She couldn't bear the idea of him being scared. The next day after kindergarten, Lizzy hurried home. Clutching her unicorn toy, she entered Michelle Xia's room. Approaching Michelle's computer desk, Lizzy gently tugged at the hem of her mother's skirt. Lizzy noticed that her mom had been wearing skirts a lot lately. Before, Michelle had always favored long pants, especially those unattractive blue-gray jeans. Lizzy caressed the skirt's fabric, thinking about how pretty it looked. Michelle had been engrossed in her writing. An old employer had reached out, and she'd been chatting with him. But now, this little clingy bundle of joy had caught her attention.
