Chapter 343
"Are you trying to say that my little princess is too much for you to handle?" Amelia asked, touching the pretty pink dress Gina selected for the day. Amelia once thought nothing could beat getting dresses for herself, but there was nothing better than picking out cute dresses for her daughter. "She sleeps like a little angel."
"Amelia, I am happy that I can say this and you won’t get offended because it is true, but that child is a little demon. Far from an angel. Now that you are here, can I please take a break to have a moment alone?" Gina requested.
"Of course! I told Alastor I would send you out so you- And there she goes," Amelia shook her head at the sound of Gina running out of the room.
Amelia looked away from the sleeping child to Edith, who was still looking out the window. "What are you doing, Edith? What is so important out there?" Amelia asked, peering out the window to see what had Edith so distracted, but she saw nothing.
"I’m afraid that if I look away I might fall asleep," Edith answered.
Amelia frowned. "Why is it that the two of you are making my child sound so terrible? You can go get some rest, Edith. I will keep her by my side for the rest of the day. Mara is a joy to be around. You will never find a child more precious. Until you have one of your own, of course."
"You can say that because she is your child, but I am telling you, she causes a lot of trouble when you are not here," Edith said. "I will get a small nap."
Amelia looked down at her baby once more and found it hard to believe that a child who was barely six months old would have Gina and Edith so stressed out.
Amelia sat down on the chair beside the bassinet to watch Mara sleep. It would soon be time for her to wake up so Amelia had to rush her to be present the second Mara opened her eyes. She had quickly gotten used to the times Mara liked to go to sleep and wake up so she could spend some time with her daughter throughout the day.
