As Lisa accompanied Julian to play in the living room, the woman looked around the room that she could reach with her sight. The house looked very luxurious. The floor was made of cream marble. A crystal chandelier hung beautifully in the middle of the living room. There were also elegant black home furnishings.

For a moment, Lisa still couldn't believe herself that Rangga who was previously nobody now had become a boss!

Julian still couldn't speak fluently like a toddler his age. But the boy could call Lisa's name when he needed her help or asked for food when he was hungry.

Julian was engrossed in playing with his toy car, but soon the boy yawned and sat down with a bored expression.

"Am bored!

" cried Julian to Lisa.

Lisa went over to the toddler and carried him. She cuddled Julian until the boy calmed down a little. Luckily Julian wasn't a sappy toddler. Lisa didn't like talkative little kids, she thought chatty brats were annoying!

"Are you hungry Julian?

" Lisa asked, rocking the toddler.

Julian nodded slowly.

Lisa then took Julian to the room and prepared a meal for him. The woman dragged a chair and placed Julian on it. She then spooned the rice to the toddler.

"Come on, open your mouth, the train is coming! Tutut!

" Lisa said jokingly. A smile appeared on her red lips.

The toddler ate the rice with gusto. Julian laughed happily when Lisa fed him patiently and lovingly.

After eating, Julian got down from the table chair and ran back to the living room. He cheerfully called Lisa's name. The toddler went back to his room and pulled Lisa's pants and said,

"Aunt Ica! Play! Play!

"

How touched Lisa's heart was to see the cute face of that toddler!

"Aaah, Julian want to play again? Come here!

"

Julian hurriedly grabbed Lisa's arm and took her back to the living room. He took out another toy and gave it to Lisa.

The toddler smiled so sweetly. His messy teeth were looking cute.

Julian hurriedly climbed on top of the sofa, clutching a toy and jumping on top of it. Lisa had never dealt with small children before, so she panicked a little when she saw Julian climb on the sofa and jump up and down for joy.

The woman hurriedly grabbed Julian and lowered him from the sofa.

"Julian, watch out, you will fall! What if you hurt yourself later?

"

"Let's just dance with Aunt Lisa!

"

Lisa invited the toddler to dance in the middle of the family room cheerfully. The two of them joked with each other. They laughed along from the awkward and ridiculous movements.

Lisa hugged the toddler tightly as she started panting from turning too much and running around the living room. This was the first time Lisa had the experience of caring for a child.

Julian invited Lisa to play outside but Lisa refused him gently because the weather outside was very hot, and she didn't want Julian to get sick. So she persuaded Julian to sit beside her and watch TV.

Lisa occasionally looked at him, stealing glances at Julian's face, who was preoccupied with watching his favorite cartoon show. The toddler's face was very cute, his body was very dense in that smooth skin, just like toddlers in general.

Even though Julian didn't take after Rangga, the toddler was still gifted with a good physique and perfection from birth. At least, that was what Lisa thought.

Suddenly, Julian bursted out laughing while watching his favorite cartoon.

The laughter from the 3 year old toddler made Lisa's heart very touched. She then remembered her miscarriage. If Clara didn't push her, her son might be playing with Julian now.

The memory of the past made Lisa's eyes water. She stared at Julian who was engrossed in watching TV with a sorrowful look.

Lisa really wanted to hug him. She wanted to experience what it was like to have a biological child.

Julian's tiny, chubby fingers were so adorable that Lisa wanted to squeeze them crazily!

Julian was getting bored watching TV, the toddler approached Lisa who was in tears and sat and hugged her.

"Aunt, why are you crying?

"

Ah, this boy, why did he care about a woman he had just met? Lisa thought.

Lisa wiped her eyes then smiled.

"It's okay Julian, auntie is sleepy so my eyes are watering!

"

The toddler put his arm around Lisa's neck and kissed Lisa's cheek gently.

"Don't cry, Iyan is here!

"

'Ah son, you really touched my heart,' said Lisa in her mind.

"Aunt Ica, come hug!

"

Lisa immediately hugged Julian tightly. She was very happy.

Lisa's memory returned to her dark past. Still hoping that her biological child would live until this moment. Too bad, God didn't allow her to hold her own baby. She was very sad and grieved.

Lisa stared at the ceiling of the family room, her mind saying, 'How stupid you are to let Clara kill your child!'

The woman shook her head many times to divert the bad thoughts. She didn't want this precious moment to be damaged by past memories!

Without realizing it, her eyes began to widen again. Tears slowly rolled down her red cheeks. The more she cried, the tighter she hugged Julian.

'I'll take care of you Julian. Until your father comes home, I'll be here!'

Julian felt tears fall down his shoulders. He looked at Lisa in confusion again. The toddler then rubbed Lisa's eyes with his chubby little arm and smiled, trying to calm Lisa's heart.

That boy really made Lisa's heart melt!

In an instant, the pain in Lisa's heart immediately disappeared because of Julian's sweet smile!

The day was getting late, it's Julian's time to sleep! Before going to sleep, he had eaten his dinner and then brushed his teeth. Lisa helped the toddler change into his pajamas and led him to the room.

The toddler got on the bed and pulled the blanket. He couldn't sleep because he was so happy to meet Lisa!

"Aunt Ica, read this!

" he exclaimed cheerfully, handing Lisa a story book.

Lisa grabbed it and read the headline,

"The mouse-deer and the crocodile.

"

"Promise me to sleep right away after I read this, okay?

" Lisa asked.

Julian nodded, a sweet smile crossed his face.

A few minutes passed, Lisa had finished reading the story to Julian, and sure enough the toddler was fast asleep!

Lisa turned off the night light in Julian's room as she leaned over and kissed Julian's forehead.

The woman stepped out of the room slowly, leaving the boy.

Julian smiled, he seemed to be in a really good dream.

***

The next day, Lisa woke up in the morning with a fresh body and mind. Julian did not cry at all or whine spoiled for something.

Lisa then went into Julian's room and opened the curtains of the toddler's room.

It turned out that Julian had been awake since earlier! 'What a smart kid!' Lisa thought.

The woman grabbed the blanket of the bed and folded it neatly. She also told Julian to brush his teeth and take a shower to start the day.

When Lisa was busy preparing food in the kitchen, she heard the doorbell ring. Nobody was there to open it, no one else was at the house but Julian and herself. So she immediately rushed to open the front door.

Lisa thought that Mrs. Sumiyati must be back.

When she opened the door, Lisa was shocked.

"What are you doing here, Lisa!?

" said the tall, slender man as he was looking at her in shock.
