Take My Breath Away

Erica knew that if she used a cellphone or instant messenger, her father and brother would be easily able to track her down.

Hearing Erica's apology, Blair couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She broke down sobbing, clutching Erica closely.

Yvette touched Feb Wu's smooth face and said, "He's so adorable!"

Blair didn't think about the baby until just now. She let go of Erica and cautiously took the boy from Wesley's arms. With a tearful smile, she said, "Come here, little one. Do you look like your mom?"

Maybe it was chance, maybe he felt that many eyes were upon him. Regardless of the reason, the sleeping boy slowly opened his eyes and looked at everyone curiously.

Yvette had never seen such a tiny child before. His every action charmed her. When she saw him do that, she said excitedly, "Mom, look! He opened his eyes!"

Blair explained resignedly, "I saw it. But why the fuss? Did you think he couldn't do that? But check it out—his eyes are so small."

Wesley turned to look at the baby and said, "Rika's eyes weren't that small when she was born." 'He might take after the father, ' he thought.

Blair explained, "The baby is only a month old. He's too young to have any well-defined facial features. Maybe when he gets older, his eyes will look like Rika's." Rika's eyes were beautiful. Blair hoped the little guy had a pair of beautiful peepers too.

Erica breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her family liked Feb Wu.

When Gifford walked in the door, Feb Wu was crying, perhaps because he was hungry. Blair had sent a servant to buy some formula.

Gifford heard the baby's cries the moment he walked up to the door. He thought he had the wrong place at first. But once he was inside, he recognized the woman holding the child. It was his mother, Blair.

After taking off his military cap, Gifford looked around the living room searching for his sister. "Mom, who is this baby? Where is Rika? I thought she was back home."

"Yeah she is. She's upstairs in the study with your dad. He's probably reading her the riot act. That's your nephew, of course. Why did you ask if you knew the

as Wesley's biggest concern.

"You weren't easy on me before, either. You followed me wherever I went! And you hit me." Especially when she was making trouble, Wesley would stop her every time.

"Probably far less than you deserved. Do you think you don't make mistakes?"

Despite Wesley's protests, things seemed to go back to the way they were, and the long lost happiness appeared in the Li family again.

"Father, my surname is also Li. We're in the same boat. From now on, you will have to protect me as long as we live here!" She gave birth to a baby in her early twenties. Erica figured more people might look down on her!

She didn't care what other people thought, but there were always some problems that couldn't be avoided. So she had to ask her dad for help.

"Not too smart, kiddo! You just now figured out life would be hard? What were you thinking back then?"

Erica pleaded, "Father, I'm sorry. I promise it won't happen again!"

"It better not, or I'll break your legs. I'll send you to a convent before you run away from home."

Erica couldn't believe her ears. 'Listen to this guy. Is this how a father is supposed to act?'

The following week was tough on Blair.

Because it felt like she and Wesley were the baby's parents. It was they and the maternity matron who took care of the baby, feeding the baby, and changing the diaper. As the baby's mother, Erica was hardly involved.
