******************
I have a child to take care of, since a man named Xu Minghao asked me to. I'm a doctor, but I only take care of that man's child. Yes, just his child.
"Stop crying!" I heard Minghao say loudly as I was about to enter the room.
The crying didn't stop, so I went in to check. When they saw me, the child stopped crying. Wow, I'm special. The child ran up to me and hugged me tightly.
"I missed you." He softly said.
How can this child be so cute? I carried him and patted his back. He snuggled closer to me, as I sang him a song. As he fell asleep, I gently placed him down on his bed.
"My son seems to really like you."
I turned to Minghao who was standing in front of me.
"I know, I've noticed that." I simply replied.
The room was peacful. Minghao and I watched the child sleeping deeply. I've always imagined how it felt to have a child, but it wasn't happening.
I just had a bad breakup last month and it really broke my heart into pieces. I endured all that pain just to show to Minghao's son that I was okay, but that man knew the truth. Was it obvious?
Ever since that breakup, I never loved anyone and no one had loved me, too. As a doctor, I had no time for love and it was a good thing for me. Then I met Minghao and my life just became a bit better.
He always told me forget about my ex because if I didn't, he'll deduct my salary. I was able to move on; not because of the money, but because of the way Minghao has been treating me.
I came to their house the next day and just like yesterday, I heard Minghao talk loudly from inside.
"How much do you want it?" He asked his son. I see, he's angry again.
I entered the house to stop whatever was going on. His son ran up to me again and hugged me tightly. However, the child was crying too much. I couldn't watch, it hurts my heart.
"What's wrong, dear?" I patted his head.
"Appa is so mean, I just wanted a mother. If only it was you, I won't be lonely!" His son shouted.
He wants a mother. A 7-year old boy is asking for a mother and that is very painful to hear. Where exactly is his real mother?
I looked at Minghao, but he only glared at his son. I hugged his son for comfort and whispered sweet things to him.
"How much do you want it?" Minghao asked for the second time, clenching his jaw in annoyance.
"I want it so much!" Then his son ran away straight to his room.
Minghao sighed deeply. I stared at him, while he was thinking about the whole situation.
Then I felt something, it was like a spark. The feeling of when something is made for you, but you just didn't know. The silence inside the room wasn't helping the situation at all. In a speed of time, Minghao held my hands.
"y/n, please marry me." He looked into my eyes, suddenly proposing.
I was speechless there for a moment. If anyone was on my place, they wouldn't know what to do either; but I knew that I had to do something about it.
"I'm sorry, I can't. You're married and besides, I'm only a doctor. My purpose here is to take care of your son, why are you giving me another headache?" I didn't know what I was saying.
He laughed, "Are you stupid? My son just said that he wanted a mother, isn't it obvious that I'm not married?" I rolled my eyes.
"And did you just say 'another headache'? So, taking care of my son was a headache for you?" He added, raising an eyebrow.
The room was silent again. There are things that I want to say to him, but they don't seem to come out. Maybe because I didn't want to spill out all my feelings about this matter. I decided to get straight to the point.
"Go look for his real mother. You made him, so it's your fault. Don't get me involved in your problem."
Did I piss him off? Yes.
"He's not my son, he's adopted. I told you that I'm not married!" He snapped with a glare.
That child is adopted, makes sense since he's too young. The question is, why did he adopt him? Why did he take the responsibility of raising a child alone? He could do whatever he wants, but he chose to raise a child instead.
"I will only agree in taking care of him, but I won't marry you. There is no reason for me to do that."
"I can give you a lot of money and I will share my properties to you."
"I don't need them. Money can't decide how my life goes."
Minghao moved closer, his face only inches away from mine. I don't care if he's too close, I'm still annoyed at him. What makes a man is from love, not from money. If only I didn't see his son, I wouldn't meet this man.
He placed his head on my neck and felt his hot breath. I tried to ignore it, tried. Despite all my anger, it was replaced by a bit of kindness. I was like I wanted to give him a chance.
"Minghao, I'm giving you a chance. I will marry you, but you have to do something in return." I finally agreed.
I waited for his reply, but he only gave a kiss on my neck. "Answer me." I reminded him.
"That's good, our son would be so happy. I know what I'll do in return and I think you needed it your whole life. y/n, I will always love you. No lie, no regrets."
Then he kissed me, with no regrets and no hesitation. He didn't choose to do this himself, I made him do this to me.
The life I wanted to have with my ex was fulfilled by another man. Deep down in my heart, I thought. Maybe this man was really meant for me.
