Chapter 1358 Vulgar
"Figures," Laura said, giving a knowing look.
Cassie turned beet red and quickly found a reason to bail with Sophia and Oliver.
Her bestie's family of four was heading out on vacation, and Laura stared at the ceiling, all envious and sighing.
"What's up? Hungry?" Michael asked, carefully approaching with the baby in his arms.
Laura shot him a blank look, "Cassie and her fam are off to Yugrot for vacay, and I'm stuck here. So jealous. Ever since I got knocked up, I haven't had any fun."
"If you want, we can go out once you're better," Michael said casually. Then it hit him that in all the time he and Laura had been married, they had never gone on a trip together, not even a night out. He thought, 'Man, it'd be nice to get out and have some fun.'
The idea sparked something in Michael, "We could hit the beach and bring a few nannies."
"I don't wanna go out with you," Laura said bluntly.
Michael took a deep breath, thinking, 'Nope, can't lose my cool with her.'
Laura glanced at him again, "I heard you gave Joseph a bunch of porn. You must watch a lot yourself, huh? Didn't think you'd be such a sleaze. But it's one thing to be sleazy yourself; why drag Joseph down with you?"
Michael's mind went blank for a sec, then he blushed.
His head was buzzing, thinking, 'I never thought Cassie would find out and tell Laura. But isn't Joseph too much? I share my secret with him, and he spills it. Shameless.'
"I downloaded those for Joseph. He had amnesia, and I just wanted to help him understand some stuff between men and women to protect himself. You don't get my intentions at all."
Laura wasn't buying it, "I'm not an idiot. You think I'd believe that? I don't care if you watch porn, but you don't even have the guts to admit it. Michael, I despise you."
Michael was fuming, "Laura, that's enough."
"I don't know why you watch so much. It's not like you have a woman to practice with," Laura said.
"You—" Michael felt deeply humiliated by Laura.
He was so mad that even Maeve seemed to sense it and started crying loudly.
Michael panicked and tried to calm her, "Maeve, don't cry. Daddy didn't mean it. Please don't cry." But no matter what he did, it didn't work.
Laura was speechless. She thought Michael was terrible at comforting people.
"Give her to me." She couldn't stand the crying and reached out.
As soon as Maeve was in Laura's arms, she gently soothed her, and Maeve stopped crying.
Michael watched her gentle expression as she looked at Maeve and then at the Maeve's smiling face. He found it amazing, "Didn't expect you to be so good at this."
"I used to help Cassie with her two kids abroad, so I got some experience," Laura said. "You need patience to soothe a baby."
"Oh."
Michael rarely just sat and listened. He watched her every move, staring into her beautiful eyes. He thought, 'She's always so cold and resentful towards me, but when she's with Maeve, her face softens with this loving smile, like she's a whole different person. Even though she looks a bit worn out, her features are still stunning. When she smiles, it's like the first snow melting.'
This rare, peaceful moment made Michael instinctively not want to mess it up. He quietly pursed his lips and stayed silent.
Then Laura looked up and suddenly noticed Michael sitting quietly beside her.
This scene was a bit weird.
"Why are you sitting here? Go away, I need to breastfeed," Laura glared at him.
Michael blinked, "Go ahead, I'm not in your way."
Laura stayed silent, seriously doubting he did it on purpose. She thought, 'He's right, but I'll be embarrassed.'
Michael didn't move until he felt Laura's angry stare. Then he realized, "Are you embarrassed?"
"Shouldn't I be?" Laura gritted her teeth, seriously wondering what Michael's brain was made of.
Michael laughed, "Don't women breastfeed in public? It's normal."
"Haven't you seen that malls now have nursing rooms?" Laura was so mad her pale face turned red.
"But I'm your husband."
"You're a husband who's about to divorce me," Laura reminded him, unable to bear it any longer. "And I don't want a perv like you watching."
Michael's handsome face darkened, "Laura, get this straight. We've been married for so long, and I've never touched you. Don't slander me."
"You collect and distribute porn. If you're not, what are you?" Laura shot back.
Michael really couldn't argue with her. He could only turn around in frustration and go to the next room.
Not long after, Maeve fell asleep after feeding.
But Maeve hadn't had much breast milk, so at ten o'clock in the evening, a nurse came to check on Laura and said, "You have too much breast milk; use a breast pump."
"I did. I spent a long time and only got a little bit of milk," Laura felt very uncomfortable, "My hands are sore."
The nurse smiled and glanced at Michael, who was drinking water, "Then you can have your husband help."
"Poof." Michael was so startled he spat out his water. He patted his chest, choking. And he thought, 'Did I hear that right??'
The nurse looked at Michael and Laura, both blushing, and couldn't help but laugh, "You're married. What's there to be embarrassed about?"
Laura was mortified.
After the nurse left, the room grew awkwardly silent.
Michael touched his nose, sneaked over, glanced at her chest, and inexplicably felt a bit nervous and hot, "I don't mind."
"Well, I do." Laura, unable to bear it, glared at him with a red face.
"Laura, don't be stubborn," Michael showed a "I'm doing this for your own good" look, "We should keep things simple."
