I Can't Escape The Baby's Father After Returning Novel - Chapter 81
Chapter 81: Good Dad
As for being a father, Mike skipped Millie’s fetus period, when Millie was just born, and Millie from the age of one to five. These six years were a huge regret for him.
From pregnancy to the birth of the child, and then slowly growing up, it was the child’s growth, and at the same time, it was the growth of the parents. No one was born to be a parent. They grew up step by step. Mike missed this process, so he was always worried that he didn’t do well enough and wasn’t a qualified father.
His feelings for Millie were complicated. There was the blood bond between father and daughter, but there was also deep regret and guilt.
Melanda knew this.
And it wasn’t just Mike. Mike’s parents and Melanda’s mother had such complicated emotions.
Therefore, Melanda’s second child was very important to everyone in the family. This child was both a make-up and a cure.
However, this pregnancy wasn’t easy for Melanda. Before she got pregnant, she had a big surgery. Her body hadn’t completely recovered. After she got pregnant, there would be a long period of mental stress. Then there was the kidnapping, the death of Dave and Mandy. Melanda was mentally exhausted.
Melanda looked haggard. Everyone in the family took good care of her, especially the two mothers, who always tried to make her all kinds of delicious food. Millie was also very obedient and no longer stuck to her mother for everything. Melanda thought that Mike must have instructed Millie privately. She didn’t want Millie to feel neglected, so she always spent as much time with her as possible.
On this day, Millie was almost done with school. Melanda went to the door early to wait for the school bus. She waited and waited, but the school bus didn’t come. Instead, Mike’s car came.
Melanda watched in surprise as the window rolled down. “Baby, get in the car. Let’s go to the mall.” It was Mike’s voice.
“But Millie’s school bus isn’t here yet.”
“Mommy, I’m here.” Millie’s chirpy voice came from the car.
It turned out that Mike had gone to pick up Millie.
“Then can you wait for me? I’ll go change and come down immediately. I’ll tell Mom and Dad,” Melanda said happily.
“Of course you can. Madam, take your time to change. There’s no hurry,” Mike said playfully.
Half an hour later, the family of three appeared in the mall near the community. Looking at the fashionable windows, even if they didn’t buy anything, they felt relaxed and happy. Women really liked to shop.
So were children. Millie held her father’s hand with one hand and her mother’s hand with the other as she skipped in the middle.
They went to the toy shop first. This was Millie’s favorite place. She looked around and finally chose the latest set of toys. She came to Mike. “Dad, can I buy this?”
“Of course! Whatever you like.” Mike always agreed to Millie’s requests.
Melanda smiled at the father and daughter and shook her head.
“Mommy, can I buy this? Please.” Millie blinked her big eyes and looked very pitiful.
“Okay, but we can only buy this set.” Actually, Melanda didn’t know how to deal with it when Millie acts like this. Fortunately, Millie hadn’t forgotten their old rule: she could only choose one at a time, and it couldn’t exceed 50 bucks.
“Thank you, Mom!” Millie was instantly overjoyed.
They then went to the mother and baby shop.
Millie went to choose her own clothes while Mike pulled Melanda to the newborn clothes counter.
“Honey, it’s too early to buy these.” Melanda thought it was funny. After all, the child was only two months old. It wasn’t time to buy baby supplies yet.
“It’s better to be prepared!” Mike said.
“Besides, we still have Millie’s clothes from when she was young. You really don’t have to worry,” Melanda said earnestly.
“That’s different. What if it’s a brother, like Millie said? He can’t wear Millie’s clothes, right?” Mike said seriously.
“It’s okay. Babies under the age of one have no gender. Millie’s clothes can be
Mike’s eyes widened. “You mean you want my son to wear a pink dress?” Melanda burst out laughing.
In the end, despite Melanda’s obstruction, Mike still bought a set of baby clothes. However, on second thought, it made sense. Mike had never bought these things. She might as well satisfy him! As a father, he couldn’t get pregnant. Before the baby was born, the connection with the baby might be reflected in the preparation of these things..
