Chapter 1314 Gotten Too Comfortable
It was morning, and the servants had prepared breakfast.
Meanwhile, Colton perused the finance section of the newspaper while calmly savoring his meal.
Across the table, Evelyn attended to the baby, and her gaze intermittently drifted toward the man.
However, the baby seemed to sense his mother''s divided attention, prompting him to burst into tears. A
baby''s cry has an uncanny ability to overshadow expectations, instantly filling the dining room with its
resounding wails.
The man shot her a stern look with a silent warning in his eyes. Then, she averted her gaze as she
hurriedly bent down to console the child. Her inexperience with babies became evident as she
struggled to calm him.
Responding to the cries, the nanny swiftly entered the dining room. Expertly, she scooped up the baby
and employed her soothing techniques, gradually quelling the cries until the baby drifted into slumber.

Afterward, Evelyn sighed in relief and nced at the nanny, who discreetly left with the baby.
In the meantime, the nanny, having served in this role for a while, feltpassion for the baby. Neither
of his parents genuinely cherished him since he was a pawn, exploited by his mother to pursue his
father''s affection. As the nanny departed, she mused on her thoughts, drawing an amusing parallel to
historical dramas where consorts maneuvered for favor with their children.
Chuckling to herself, she dismissed her fanciful reflections. I''ve been watching too many dramastely.
On the other hand, Evelyn observed the nanny''s exit, her attention shifting between the baby''s
departure and Colton''s demeanor. Hoping to avoid suspicion, she silently wished the man remained
oblivious to the situation.
Although he could sense her gaze, he didn''t look at her. Despite some sympathy for the child, he
couldn''t bring himself to shower affection on him. She had manipted the child tomit devious
acts and be endeavoring to make him assume the role of the child''s biological father—something he
couldn''t forgive. Therefore, he hoped to identify the child''s birth father soon, freeing him from his
mother''s maniptive grasp.
"Double the nanny''s sry. She''s doing a good job taking care of the baby. My child should be properly
taken care of."
At this moment, she anxiously awaited his response. However, his words weren''t what she anticipated,
leaving her unsure whether to be relieved or upset. What does he mean by that? Is he saying that I''m
not taking good care of the baby?
Nevertheless, Colton didn''t wait for Evelyn to react. He set the newspaper aside and stood up, ready to
leave.
While watching the man she loved walk away, she panicked and sprang to her feet, her actions more
reflex than conscious choice.
"Colton, are you mad at me because I didn''t take good care of our child?" She ran after him,
enveloping him in a desperate hug from behind as she dered remorsefully," I know. It''s my fault for
being distracted today. That''s why the baby cried. I won''t make that mistake again."
Fearing that this incident could drive the man away, she was acutely aware that their rtionship had
been forced upon him due to the child—the child she had coerced him into epting. Suddenly, she
realized that her recent arrogance and self-assuredness were misguided. She had envisioned a future
with him while failing to address the crux of their rtionship.
Our child? Colton was disgusted by these words. Yet, he maintainedposure in Evelyn''s presence
and even feigned ignorance about the child''s true parentage. Consumed by anger, he forcefully pulled
away from her grasp. The vein along his forehead began to throb as he red at the woman who had
fallen to the ground.
"Colton, I feel—" Desperate to gain his sympathy, she tried to y the fragile card, but her words
faltered upon seeing the fury in his eyes.
