Chapter 1477


    Despite theints, Zuko couldn’t bear the thought of their daughter sleeping in a separate room. It


    was his idea to bring the crib into their bedroom.


    He gently approached, took their baby girl from Lina’s arms, and began soothing her with tender words.


    “Honey, you should go to sleep first. I’ll hold her for a while,” he said.


    Lina’s eyes glistened with tenderness.


    Even before Persephone was born, Lina had read many posts about women’s challenges after


    childbirth on different websites. Some described husbands who offered little help, acting like absent


    parents. Others talked about widow-style parenting, where women cared for their children and


    husbands, leaving themselves exhausted.


    Zuko, however, was different.


    Since Persephone’s birth, he had been actively involved in everything, even though they had hired help


    for various tasks. He handled diaper changes, prepared bottles, washed them, and even took part in


    massages and skin-to-skin contact. Despite having caregivers, he remained hands-on.


    As Persephone grew, he made time for her every day, even amid his busy work schedule. He carefully


    selected her tiny clothes and socks, showing more detail-oriented care than when signing contracts.


    His devotion to Persephone didn’t mean neglecting his wife. He became even more caring and


    attentive, ensuring Lina didn’t have to wake up at night. Although the maid brought soups and


    beverages, he tasted them before letting her drink to ensure they suited her taste.


    Sometimes, when Persephone cried at night, it was Zuko who would soothe and carry her around the


    room.


    Lina watched him, determined yet fatigued, and felt a mix of heartache and happiness. She realized


    she had married the right person.


    “Honey…” Lina’s voice quivered slightly. “You go rest. I’ll take her.”


    “Are you trying to take her away from me too?” Zuko teased with a gentle smile. “I don’t get to see my


    precious during the day, so I cherish the moments we have together at night. Can you not be so cruel?”


    Linaughed and yfully punched him.


    Gradually, Persephone’s cries subsided. After a yawn, she peacefully fell asleep again in Zuko’s arms.


    In the quiet room, Zuko approached the crib with care. Persephone was like a ticking time bomb now.


    Putting her down was a delicate task, requiring the right moment, angle, and force.


    He adjusted his posture, ready to put her down when Lina’s phone suddenly buzzed.

    Persephone stretched her tiny hands and feet and smacked her lips a couple of times.


    Quickly, Zuko patted her to keep her calm.


    “Is it Lena again?” he asked with a wry smile. “Reply to her. Tell her that she’s the culprit if I can’t put


    down Sephy tonight!”


    “No…” Lina’s expression changed slightly.


    Zuko paused. “What happened?”


    Lina hesitated but handed her phone to him.


    The message was from her assistant.


    Renee was on a hunger strike in prison, showing a stubborn attitude, and insisting on seeing Lina. The


    prison had no choice but to contact Lina’s assistant.


    “She wants tomit suicide?” Zuko looked indifferent. “Hah, this isn’t the first time she’s ying this


    trick!”


    “But if she wants to see me, there may be something important she wants to discuss, right?”


    Zuko wondered. “If you want to go, I’ll go with you. I’d like to see what tricks she can pull!”
