Chapter 916: No Overstepping
Luna replied, “He has work matters to attend to.”
She gestured for them to come in.
Then hesitated, “Am I letting you in too easily like this…?”
“This is easy to explain, I just barged in,” Freya joked.
Luna nodded, “The fresh air outside is nice, wait for me for a moment.”
Quickly, Luna arrived at Star’s room.
She checked Star’s diaper for any mess and made sure she wasn’t uncomfortable or hungry, so she wouldn’t cry.
Seeing that Star wasn’t hungry or uncomfortable, Luna cradled her and gently rocked her.
With Luna’s embrace, Star gradually stopped crying and started whimpering.
Slowly, the crying ceased.
After calming Star down, she smiled and said, “Let’s chat in the front garden.”
Luna, with Star comfortably resting on her shoulder, headed to the garden.
Freya watched Star’s slightly grown face and couldn’t help but smile.
Her daughter, she liked her.
It was a pity she didn’t have one.
“Come, let me hold her.”
“You just got off the plane and hurried here, right? Take a rest.” Luna calculated the time she messaged herself, she must have been on the plane at that time.
“I’m not tired,” Freya said.
Elijah gave space for Luna and Freya, receiving a call as he left smoothly.
“Why did you come here all of a sudden?”
Freya had fully returned to her family, with Elowen and Linda helping her, she wasn’t tired.
But seeing Luna, single-handedly taking care of her child, must be tough.
“Elijah has some business matters to deal with in the company, so I came along to accompany him, mainly to see you.”
Most importantly, Freya wanted to see Luna’s current state.
But luckily, after seeing her, Freya felt much relieved.
“When are you leaving?”
Freya gave Luna an irritated look, she had just arrived and Luna was already shooing her away.
“That’s not what I meant!”
Fearful of Freya misunderstanding her, Luna hurriedly explained.
“I know, I’ll leave tomorrow evening.”
“Seeing you like this now, I’m very happy.”
At least, Luna could live a peaceful life like this forever.
Grabbing Luna’s hand tightly, Freya looked at Luna.
“Seeing you like this, I feel much more at ease.”
Luna nodded and then started discussing Orion with Freya.
“He wasn’t like this before, you know? There are surveillance cameras at Orion’s house.”
That’s why Luna invited her out to talk.
If Orion watched the surveillance, wouldn’t he discover something between her and Freya…?
Then her identity…
“He is the child’s father, of course he needs to be careful.”
Thinking about this, Luna remembered Star peeing on Orion.
She couldn’t help but smile.
Seeing her smiling face, Freya teased her, “What are you thinking about? You look so happy? It’s not related to Orion, is it?”
Luna shook her head vigorously, “Thinking about the lovely moments with Star that make me smile, only my daughter can make me laugh like this.”
Freya pinched Star’s little cheek, her granddaughter, so adorable, she liked her too.
Having such a lovely daughter like her, she should smile every day.
It’s just a pity she couldn’t have a daughter herself.
“You spend time with Orion day and night…” Freya looked at her, “He didn’t show any signs of suspicion?”
Luna thought back to last night and furrowed her brows.
“You, without a doubt, have nothing good to say, I have a master-servant relationship with him. He’s been busy with work recently, hardly home during the day, so I have the freedom at home. I can watch over Star all the time, it’s convenient for me, he…”
Luna carefully recalled Orion’s behavior.
He probably didn’t have any suspicions, right?
After all, she didn’t leave Vivian by his side, right?
Having a woman around him was good for him.
Taking away his attention.
He probably didn’t have time to look after himself.
“Freya, we should leave now,” Elijah suddenly spoke up.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Freya stood up, “Luna, we’ll take our leave first.”
Luna also stood up, “You came, and I haven’t even offered you a glass of water to drink…”
Freya smiled, “You should take care of your daughter.”
“Should we form an alliance?” Freya joked.
Luna glanced at her, “Your son is still young, yet you’re already thinking about finding a daughter-in-law? Are you trying to age quickly?”
Freya sighed, “I’m not working now, thinking about all these messy things all day, just want to occupy my mind.”
Luna could tell that without work, she lacked a bit of energy.
A woman’s sacrifice for her family was probably unseen.
Nowadays, it’s not like ancient times, women need to have their own careers to live a fulfilling life.
But she and Freya had lost their former selves, now living for their flesh and blood.
…
It was four o’clock, Luna checked her phone.
Orion hadn’t called her yet, he must be busy.
So Luna put Star in the crib.
Even if she was standing next to Star, she wouldn’t feel lonely.
After preparing the formula, Luna handed the bottle to Star.
Star eagerly took it in her mouth, allowing Luna to absentmindedly stroke her head.
Star had a good appetite recently, and Luna felt that feeding her twice a day with formula was sufficient.
She could substitute other things for the other feedings, so Star could wean off quickly.
Lost in her thoughts about Star’s diet, Luna was startled by her phone ringing.
It was Orion calling.
“Mr. Russo.”
Luna immediately opened her phone, pointing the camera at Star.
“Kelsey Silverton, I only have an hour.”
“Did someone visit the house today?”
Luna hesitated, not expecting Orion to only have a small window of time to check the surveillance.
“Oh, it was an old friend from before.”
“Just passing by to see me.”
“Star, Star!”
“Miss me?”
Seeing Star eating eagerly, Orion even felt hungry, as he hadn’t eaten yet.
“Vivian will come later to deliver a document.”
“Understood, sir, I know.”
As she was speaking, the doorbell rang again.
This time Luna knew it was Vivian.
“Kelsey Silverton, this is the document the manager requested.”
There was nothing inappropriate, Vivian just handed her the documents.
Luna took them and prepared to close the door.
“Wait, wait, wait!”
Vivian’s foot got stuck in the door, but she managed to push her way in with a large bag in hand.
“Didn’t Mr. Russo mention that I came to help? Can I stay here?”
Luna didn’t know how to respond, so she asked Orion.
Orion expected Luna to refuse on her own.
But Luna wouldn’t be presumptuous.
She wouldn’t make the decision on her own.
After waiting for a while and not hearing Luna say it wasn’t appropriate, Orion stared at her for a few seconds, “If you don’t find it troublesome, let her stay, if she bothers you.”
Luna, “…”
Vivian only caught the part about her being able to stay and was ecstatic.
“Sorry for the trouble during this time,” she smiled.
She went to find a room and discovered that Luna’s room was close to Orion’s.
“Kelsey Silverton, I want to stay in your room!”
