...
Just like that, a sleepless night passed.
The next day, shortly after dawn, the doorbell suddenly rang from the first floor.
Sherry put on a coat, went downstairs, and opened the door directly.
The door had just been opened when a chubby little figure suddenly rushed into her arms.
"Aunt Sherry!"
Sherry was startled and quickly extended her arms to embrace the little one. Her expression changed as she looked incredulously at the child in her arms.
"Nathaniel?" As soon as she recognized the child, exhaustion was replaced with delight on Sherry's face!
The little one's head lifted happily, but upon seeing Sherry's current appearance, his chubby face suddenly became dazed.
Sherry paused, realizing her appearance. She had removed her makeup after bathing last night and hadn't reapplied it.
Feeling a bit guilty, Sherry lowered her head and spoke to the little one.
"I'm sorry, Nathaniel…"
