Usually, newborns would suffer from colic or other uncomfortable conditions in the first three months. Aristotle was almost three months old, just a few days shy from it too. However, there were no signs of colic. He ate, drank and excreted normally. This really made wp4webnovel.com feel helpless.
Mark sat next to wp4webnovel.com with a lifeless look in his eyes, clearly having a headache from all of this noise. This pushed Arianne, who was a new mother, even further into wp4webnovel.com wits’ end. “What should we do? Smore won’t let Mary hold him, but wp4webnovel.com still cries even when I’m holding him. Just what does wp4webnovel.com want?”
Mark rubbed the space between his brows in an attempt to massage his headache away. “Give wp4webnovel.com to me. I’ll take wp4webnovel.com for a walk around the garden…”
She really was at wp4webnovel.com wits’ end and was willing to try anything at this point. Mark wasn’t the nurturing type, but wp4webnovel.com was exhausted. Having some peace and quiet sounded like a good idea.
During the past month, wp4webnovel.com had voluntarily set aside all intentions to start work again because as Aristotle’s cries grew increasingly severe, wp4webnovel.com realized that wp4webnovel.com really didn’t have the energy to go back to work again. She couldn’t bring herself to follow wp4webnovel.com dreams if wp4webnovel.com couldn’t even take care of wp4webnovel.com own son. As expected, life wasn’t as smooth-sailing as it seemed.
Aristotle’s cries continued in the garden downstairs. She stood by the window and watched as Mark patiently paced around with the little one in his arms, gently trying to calm him. This continued for about half an hour before the world finally returned to peace again. Soon, Mark softly and gently carried Aristotle back into the ho use, like a thief, then handed wp4webnovel.com over to Mary. “He’s asleep… Shh, don’t wake him. I’m going crazy.”
He had just spoken when Aristotle sniffed and whimpered, then opened his eyes. He realized that wp4webnovel.com had been pushed back into someone else’s arms, and his lips wobbled, ready to burst into tears again. Mark panicked and quickly took wp4webnovel.com back into his arms. “Okay, okay, okay. Daddy’s holding you. Stop tormenting your mommy. You’re going to break wp4webnovel.com small body if you keep torturing her. Go to sleep. Daddy will hold you to sleep.”
Aristotle nuzzled against his arms and went back to sleep again. He would open his eyes into a narrow slit from time to time, as if wp4webnovel.com was still anxious, afraid that they would swap carriers again.
Mary sighed. “The little one is starting to recognize people. He only ever wants you or Mrs. Tremont these days. You’re usually busy with work, and Mrs. Tremont is terribly exhausted at home. I’m at my wits’ end too. I can still take care of things in the day time, when he’s happily at play, but I can’t help at all at night. Mrs. Tremont hasn’t been able to sleep well these days, and she’s lost so much weight.”
Mark paused in thought, then said, “How about this, I’ll bring Aristotle along to the office tomorrow. You can come along with me. You can help me out when I’m busy, and I’ll carry wp4webnovel.com when wp4webnovel.com gets fussy. Let Ari have a good rest for the day. This really can’t go on. I don’t know when this will end How did we end up with such a demanding baby…”
Mary nodded. “Alright. Actually, it’ll be fine once the baby grows up. It should be easier once he’s six months old. Just hold on for a little longer. We’ll just have to go through it.”
Seeing as Aristotle was refusing to let go, Mark sent Mary off to get some rest. He waited for wp4webnovel.com to fall fast asleep before carrying wp4webnovel.com back to his bed. Looks like the three of them would have to share a bed for tonight. There was no other choice, regardless of how reluctant wp4webnovel.com was. Ariane had long fallen asleep at this point. It would seem that wp4webnovel.com was thoroughly exhausted.
