The Wrong Woman
Chapter 661

Mila was eager to take Nathan back to their dormitory.

Nathan's eyes were brimming with affection.

As soon as they stepped inside, he eagerly pulled her into his arms, longing to kiss her. Yet, Mila stopped him by placing her hand on his lips.

"What are you doing?" Mila asked.

Nathan was confused. "You brought me back to the dorm so urgently. Didn't you want―"

"No," Mila shyly interrupted, patting his shoulder. "Let go for now."

After Nathan released her, she took his hand and led him into the bedroom.

The nanny, Pauline, was nodding off at the edge of the bed, while Jasper lay on his stomach, contentedly chewing on a toy without making a sound. His large, bright eyes shimmered with curiosity.

As soon as Jasper spotted Nathan, he locked his gaze on Nathan intently. But the instant Jasper caught sight of Mila, his excitement became palpable. He flailed his limbs and babbled happily, like a plane revving up for takeoff.

Pauline snapped awake instantly. Seeing Mila and Nathan, she anxiously explained, "Mr. and Mrs. Morrison, I accidentally dozed off."

Mila offered a gentle smile. "It's all right. You've been working hard."

She understood well the exhaustion that came with caring for children, and she was immensely grateful for Pauline's efforts.

Mila reached into the crib and lifted Jasper into her arms. His smile widened as he nestled against her.

Nathan felt a rush of joy and warmth. It had been two months since their last reunion, and Jasper had noticeably grown. Jasper was now adept at playing with toys and rolling over. Affectionately, Nathan reached out and said, "Here. Let me hold him for a moment."

Mila passed Jasper into his arms.

As Nathan cradled Jasper, the smile on the baby's face was replaced by a serious gaze as he examined Nathan's features. Nathan, too, gazed earnestly at Jasper's adorable face. Mila couldn't help but smile as she watched the father and son locking eyes.

"Why is he looking at me like that?" Nathan asked.

Mila stroked Jasper's back and replied softly, "He's probably just feeling a bit unsure. But it's a good sign he's not crying. He might likely cry if it was someone else."

Unable to resist, Nathan kissed Jasper's cheek. But to his surprise, Jasper responded by slapping him. Nathan looked at Jasper in shock, while Mila and Pauline watched in astonishment. In a rush, Mila handed Jasper to Pauline while she quickly checked Nathan's cheek and said, "Don't take it personally. He's just a five-month-old baby who doesn't understand anything yet." Nathan took her hand, kissed her lips, and said, "Don't worry, I won't. I'm just surprised. This little one seems to have a strong sense of self-preservation, which is a good thing."

At that moment, another nanny named Georgina returned with food. Upon spotting Nathan and Mila, Georgina greeted them quickly.

Pauline and Georgina usually swapped shifts during meal times, and Mila didn't want to disrupt their routine.

She gently patted Jasper's head and whispered, "Be good. We're going to have a meal. We'll hang out with you later."

Nathan smiled warmly and also patted Jasper's head, saying, "Be good."

He wasn't deeply connected to Jasper at this point. Instead, he was more excited about being with Mila after months apart. He believed he could bond with Jasper gradually since they had plenty of time ahead Hand in hand, they left the room, and Nathan eagerly guided Mila into the nearby study.

Mila looked confused. "Aren't we going to eat?"

Ignoring her question, Nathan closed the door and pressed her against it, kissing her passionately. After being apart for so long and almost losing her in an accident, Nathan's heart urgently needed her warmth
