The Villainess Redeems Herself, The Beast Husbands are in a Daily Love Battle-Chapter 138: Especially Fleeting

How is it that her weighing of the pros and cons and attempts to remain rational are seen as emotional betrayal in his eyes?

But this... she really couldn’t say it out loud.

"I just don’t want to be shackled by motherhood."

Thus, she could only stand there awkwardly, holding the child, unable to say a word.

"Nowadays, formula milk is particularly reliable. It has long since eliminated the necessity for mothers to breastfeed. The effect is the same, don’t worry."

Sunlight slanted in through the window, casting on the baby’s tender cheeks.

His eyes never left her and the child.

He knew she was hesitating, conflicted, and heartbroken over this tiny life.

But he was even more aware that he had to make her understand this point in advance, lest she falls into deeper struggles in the future.

She held the little baby in her arms, her heart almost melting.

The soft little body curled up in the crook of her arm.

Selene Kane lowered her head, staring, almost pressing her nose to that innocent little face.

Tears welled up in her eyes, yet the corners of her mouth involuntarily lifted into a smile.

This was her daughter, the life she and Caleb Shaw created together.

Don’t say anymore; if they continue speaking, she truly won’t be able to hold on.

She didn’t want to hear anything about scientific parenting, weaning plans, or balanced nutrition...

She just wanted to hold a little longer and feed one more time.

Even if just for a moment, she wanted to tell this child in the most primitive way.

Mommy is here and will never leave you.

But rationality tells her she can’t indulge herself too much, nor allow the child to form dependencies.

So she gritted her teeth, forcibly swallowing back the choke rising in her throat, just burying her head a bit lower.

Strangely, why is the system quiet?

A sudden trace of unease rose in her heart.

Previously, whether big or small, as long as it involved plot direction or mission nodes.

The "Maternity System" in her mind would always promptly bubble up with prompts.

Selene Kane secretly tried calling out: "System? Are you there?"

No response.

She frowned in thought; is it because the main storyline is completed that the system automatically went dormant?

Or is there...

Another task quietly activating, just not yet triggered?

"Host, you’ll soon be pregnant with your second child, and then there surely won’t be any milk."

The system’s tone remained mechanical yet inexplicably carried a trace of schadenfreude.

"I always wanted to remind you, ideally don’t rely too much on breastfeeding, otherwise it’ll be very uncomfortable when weaning later. Emotional attachment plus physiological reaction, double impact, with a collapse probability as high as 89.37%."

"Wow, we really thought the same, give me a kiss."

Caleb Shaw suddenly turned his head, a wicked smile on the corner of his lips.

Before Selene Kane could react, he leaned in and gently pecked her cheek with his thin lips.

"Get away!"

Selene Kane was caught off guard, her cheeks instantly blazed up, pushing him away a fraction of an inch, staring at him angrily.

"Who allowed you to kiss so randomly! Also, did you hear what the system just said?"

Finished, once again he schemed against her.

She suddenly realized something was off; why did Caleb Shaw bring up formula milk at this crucial moment?

And spoke so fittingly?

Absolutely not coincidental!

He did it on purpose, guiding her from the start to accept the future inability to breastfeed.

And behind this manipulation, clearly there was premeditation.

This male, seemingly aloof and taciturn, is actually strategic, with thoughts deeply frightening.

Caleb Shaw didn’t make a sound, just gazed at her with profound eyes.

That expression sent a chill down Selene Kane’s neck.

Selene Kane suddenly found it hard to breathe, her palms slightly sweaty, not daring to look at him directly.

Is this still the taciturn and icy cold Commander?

Why does he seem like a wronged little wife?

She muttered to herself, secretly stealing a glance at him again.

Caleb Shaw gently lowered his gaze, his eyelashes casting a small shadow beneath his eyes.

If it were before, he would give orders in the most straightforward way, never showing such a wistful expression.

But now...

"Well, after all, she’s our first child, of course I cherish her the most, rest assured on that point."

Selene Kane snorted softly, trying hard to maintain a tough stance.

She looked down at her sleeping daughter in her arms.

"I just don’t want her to suffer in the future, nor do I want to regret it later."

"By the way, her name isn’t decided yet, what do you want to call her?"

The topic suddenly shifted, and the atmosphere eased somewhat.

Caleb Shaw followed up smoothly, his voice much gentler than before.

He slightly moved closer, lightly touched his daughter’s small hand.

That tiny finger instinctively curled, causing both to laugh softly at the same time.

Caleb Shaw’s lips slightly curved up, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Female Master, you can decide, the name you choose, the child will definitely like it."

In his eyes, Selene Kane was not just a partner, but also the master of this house.

He was willing to hand over the most important decision to her.

She pondered for a while.

"How about calling her Sylvia Shaw? Hope she can live freely and joyfully all her life."

Caleb Shaw nodded with a smile.

"I think it’s nice. Sylvia Shaw... flows smoothly when spoken."

After saying this, he didn’t speak further, just reached to fix the fallen blanket. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Caleb Shaw’s gaze slowly swept over his wife and daughter, a sense of unprecedented calm rising within.

He was once the pillar of a nation, wielding military power, maintaining stability in all directions.

And now he truly understood, real strength never comes from ruthless decisiveness.

In this life, he won’t let anyone take their happiness away.

Fortunately, everything is still on time, things are moving in the best direction.

Outside, spring is thriving, birds singing crisply.

Selene Kane leaned against the headboard, watching Caleb Shaw’s meticulous care of the child.

She once thought that after crossing over, she would only be able to proceed cautiously.

But reality had given her a completely different answer.

Originally, sincere treatment could indeed be reciprocated equally.

Thanks to the Beast God for not letting him continue making mistakes.

Selene Kane silently thought, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes.

If she and Caleb Shaw had not established genuine trust and understanding.

The relationship would eventually collapse amidst suspicion and pain.

Otherwise, in this life, he may never encounter such happiness again.

Caleb Shaw sat quietly aside, watching the slightly open mouth of his daughter, waves of complex regret stirring within.

He once stood high above, believing control means victory.

But until losing, did he realize the most precious things are never measured by power.

And now, fate grants him another chance, he won’t let it slip again.

Yet happiness always seems so fleeting.

Joy has yet to dissipate, when there came a soft knock outside.

A palace-attired maid stood respectfully at the door, holding a gold embossed invitation, said softly: "Commander’s wife, The Royal Palace envoy is waiting in the front hall. This is Your Majesty’s personally issued summons, please ensure to enter the palace for audience in three days."

Selene Kane had just given birth not long ago, then an invitation from The Royal Palace arrived.

She paused for a moment, then frowned.

By rights, a postpartum woman shouldn’t easily go out, let alone to the heavily guarded Royal Palace.

But this invitation used the highest-class crimson envelope, bearing the exclusive emblem of The Royal Family, obviously not rejectable.

That invitation was even more elaborate than the one sent by the Osborne Family back then.
