The 99th Divorce

Chapter 2026: Little Yue‘er Will be Returning to His Mother

Nanny He saw the couple as she was walking into the house. She couldn’t help grinning from ear to ear.

They seemed to be getting along amicably today.

They were finally able to resolve their grudges!

Nanny He walked over to Shen Manting with a smile and said, “Have you settled in after staying here for the past few days?”

“Yes,” Shen Manting answered, looking at Nanny He. “I’m doing fine. I’m already quite familiar with this place. Getting used to living here isn’t a problem.”

“That’s good to hear,” Nanny He affirmed, breaking into an even wider grin. “Your presence seems to have lifted Young Master’s spirits. He looks radiant today, as though anticipating the wedding of someone in the family.”

Shen Manting sensed that Nanny He was hinting at something else to her. She smiled without answering.

“The baby has been behaving himself lately. I’ve noticed that he seems to be crying less often. He used to throw tantrums whenever I carried him. He has a quick temper like his father.” Nanny He remarked, while offering to help her wash the milk bottles. “He’s behaving much better now. By the way, I saw Lao Yang lifting a few boxes labeled as infant supplies. What’s inside?”

“The box contains baby products,” Shen Manting answered, suddenly reminded of her purchases. “Please help me to clean the bottles first. I’ll settle the items.”

“All right, go ahead.” Nanny He glanced at her with a smile. “Teach me how to use the electronic gadgets, if you’ve bought any.”

Shen Manting answered her with a smile. Then, she quickly wiped her hands and unpacked all the newly-bought infant products.

Milk bottles, sterilizing chambers, and other miscellaneous items.

After organizing her purchases, she asked Nanny He to help her wash the milk bottles, while she proceeded to set up the sterilizing chambers.

There was a disinfection chamber at home, but it wasn’t enough to fit the infant’s growing inventory of toiletries.

Besides, Shen Manting managed to find an empty room in the house.

The room she used to stay in was now vacant.

She asked Nanny He to help her tidy up the room, which was now dedicated to storing the infant’s toiletries.

It was already evening by the time Shen Manting and Nanny He completed the chores.

The infant woke up twice, but went back to sleep after being fed some milk.

Shen Manting was getting sleepy. She managed to catch forty winks in the baby’s room when Nanny He went to prepare dinner.

She had only fallen asleep when she heard Nanny He call out to her.

Shen Manting didn’t respond at first as she thought she was dreaming.

However, she heard old Mrs. Shen’s voice a while later.

She was startled and opened her eyes at once.

A moment later, the door opened.

Old Mrs. Shen became emotional when she saw Shen Manting.

She stared at her wide-eyed and stomped her feet while exclaiming, “You’re finally back, Manting!”

Shen Manting, who was still half-asleep and groggy, was jolted to her senses by old Mrs. Shen’s booming voice.

Before she could respond, old Mrs. Shen was already striding towards her, throwing her arms wide open to embrace her.

Shen Manting felt uncomfortable being enveloped in a stifling hug and uttered, “Grandmother…”

“Ah!” There were tears in old Mrs. Shen’s eyes. She sniffled and cried, “Thank goodness you’re back! It’s good to see you back! I’ve missed you so much!”

Shen Manting was overwhelmed by the adoration. The old lady’s tight embrace made her feel short of breath.

She gently pushed her away. Then, she heard the baby whining, as if about to cry.

Old Mrs. Shen immediately released Shen Manting and said, “Oh dear, look at me! I’ve startled Little Moon.”

Old Mrs. Shen was almost moved to tears as she looked at Shen Manting. “This is wonderful. Little Moon will be returning to his mother from now on.”

Shen Manting quickly rose to her feet and walked over to the infant to soothe him.

The infant had been startled awake from his slumber by old Mrs. Shen’s loud voice. He immediately calmed down after Shen Manting cradled him in her arms.
