The Abused Luna’s Comeback - Chapter 191 - Settling

[Mona’s P.O.V.]

After Edward found an excuse to send Emily away, he peeped out the door to make sure she and no one else was eavesdropping outside.

Once he was sure the coast was clear, Edward locked the door and quickly ran to me and our son before pulling us into his embrace and showering us with kisses.

“Baby, are you alright?” asked he.

“Apart from Emily, I think everyone else should be rewarded. I almost believed that they hated me,” said I.

“You’ve been wronged.” He gently kissed my forehead. “Well, at least they know that it’s you. Come, let’s go back to your room so you and our son can rest.”

I nodded because I needed to pump milk for my little prince anyway. I followed Edward to a guest room, it was the closest to those of the ranked members. There were already people guarding the door, one of which was Dylan.

“Ms. Mona, while you’re resting in your room, I’ll be guarding outside. If there’s anything, you can call me immediately.”

“You’re going to be on night duty, Dylan? Edward, I don’t think it’s necessary.”

“It’s absolutely necessary. This is the future Alpha we’re talking about. Moreover, the room will be occupied by his father’s most beloved person as well,” said Edward in a low voice.

“It’s my honor. Please do not feel burdened.” Dylan bowed so seriously I almost laughed.

I thanked him and followed Edward into the guest room. It was huge and the air conditioner had been set to a comfortable temperature. It was furnished with everything we needed, including a blue crib that was filled with toys. I was a little surprised but I happily placed Phil in it.

“I didn’t know you prepared this in advance!”

……

“Actually, it wasn’t all me. My mom, Jane, and Diana chipped in too.”

“They’re quite reliable.”

“Yes, looks like everything you will ever need is already here.”

“Oh my God, Edward, there’s even a small refrigerator here!”

“Yes, I told them you needed this.”

“Now I have to look for a breast pump. Phil doesn’t have enough food left.”

I looked around and soon found it in a conspicuous place. It was the same one I had in my apartment in Phuket, and it came with a bag and towel. I’m sure Edward had them find an identical one for me.

After everything was ready, I began to milk food for my child. Ever since I became a mother, I realized how magical motherhood was, especially the ability to produce food from one’s own body for their child.

Edward lay in bed watching me work.It took me about half an hour to finish before I sealed all the bags. The tall, handsome, and sculpted man proceeded to helpfully take the equipment I had used to the bathroom for cleaning and disinfection. He was already a skilled worker.

Though I had already sealed the bags, I made sure I still had some milk left in me to breastfeed Phil’s dinner. When he was done with a burp, I started to feel sleepy too.

“I’m feeling a little sleepy too. We’ll have to take turns to shower,” said Edward.

“I thought you wouldn’t be staying here.”

“Sweetheart, just because I can’t let you stay in our previous room due to the current circumstances, it doesn’t mean we need to be apart.” It took him no time to close the gap between us and for his big hand to move to my ass and waist. Within another second, he was already burying his face in my neck and inhaling my scent.

I admit that his sudden and current actions had aroused my desire. F*ck, my body hadn’t experienced this kind of feeling in a long time. But I needed my body to recover so that I could return to my best state. Dr. Baldwin had also suggested that we wait two weeks before having sex.

“Stop it, I don’t want to wake Phil.” I slapped his hand, trying to stop him.

“I hate masturbating.” Edward had put on a sad and pitiful face by the time he looked at me. I ignored him and took off my clothes so that I could take a bath.

“You know, I still can’t believe that you had just given birth. You might look like Mona but your body still looks sexily amazing!”

“It’s all thanks to Susanna’s helpful advice to apply essential oils and lotions on my skin. And I had been walking and moving about to make sure I stayed active, no matter how heavy my belly was. The only time I truly sat still was when I would go to bed, especially when Dr. Baldwin instructed me to.”

Edward’s compliments made me happy. I had always been shy whenever I revealed my naked body before him. But recently, I found that I wasn’t as bashful as before, most likely because Phil’s birth had deepened our connection.

“And just so you know, I am still getting used to looking at Mona’s naked body. I hope you realize that I now have to look at a body of a woman other than Rose’s!” He raised his eyebrows at me.

“So do you prefer the current me or the old me?”

“Is this a trick question? Well, I like both.”

“Edward, you’re such a playboy!” I jumped over and punched his chest with my fist, but he immediately grabbed my hand and pulled me into his embrace.

“Baby, no matter what you look like, as long as you’re by my side and in my embrace, my life will be complete. Don’t leave me again, okay?”

“I won’t, not now, not ever,” said I gently. The pleasant smell of his body and his strong and broad chest made me feel at ease and relaxed.

“I love you, Rose.”

“I love you too, Popeye, very much.”

We shared a long, sweet kiss before getting into the bathtub. Once we were done in the bathroom, we lay side by side on the bed. We both knew that Phil would wake up soon, so we had to get some sleep before dealing with this energetic young man.

I needed my energy more than ever too because I would be secretly resuming my training with Alonso tomorrow.

I had never been more eager to train – I longed to be stronger, to follow my heart, and to protect the people I loved. If anyone hurt them, I would fight back with all I had.
