Chapter 822 - Winstons Still Not Back Yet (2/2)

It was already the hot season now. Basked in sunlight, the interior of the stone castle was very cool and breezy, but the eaves were still scalding hot, especially that of the top story.

With An’an in her arms, Bai Qingqing stood under the eave of the top story and looked around for Winston.

Parker anxiously ran up. When he caught sight of her, he heaved a big sigh of relief. “You’re indeed here.”

“The venom is going to act up again tonight.”

As Bai Qingqing spoke, two strings of tears slipped down from her face and fell upon An’an’s chubby little face.

At six months old, although An’an couldn’t speak, she seemed to understand the words “venom” and “acting up.” She started pouting, and her tender little face started crumpling into a bun.

Bai Qingqing hurriedly cradled her and coaxed her, feigning happiness as she spoke to her, “What’s wrong with you, An’an?”

An’an opened her mouth and revealed two tiny teeth glistening with saliva.

Pretending to just only discover that, Bai Qingqing exclaimed in a shocked tone, “Oh look! An’an has started teething. Your front teeth are so pretty!”

With her chin crumpled, choked sobs escaped from An’an’s throat. This went on for a while, but under her mommy’s pretense that everything was going well, she held back those sobs.

An’an’s obedience made Bai Qingqing’s heart ache terribly for her. She planted a few kisses on her baby’s face, then secretly wiped away her tears.

Bai Qingqing suddenly felt a hot body press against her back. It was Parker, who had circled his arms around her waist and said softly, “You should stop crying too.”

She let out a long exhale. “Winston’s already been gone for a month.”

Lowering her head to see An’an’s face which resembled Winston’s so much, Bai Qingqing felt a mixture of anxiousness and worry.

“By right he should already be back by now. Moreover, today’s such a special day, so if he can make it back, he definitely will. I’m very worried about him.”

Parker cast a glance at the clearly tattooed tiger spousal mark on Bai Qingqing’s arm and said, “The spousal mark is still there. You don’t have to worry.”

Bai Qingqing shook her head. “We should have gone with him.”
