The Abused Luna’s Comeback - Chapter 187

[Rose’s P.O.V.]

Our son had been born for more than half a month, and his eyes had long since opened. Although his eyes were shaped like Edward’s, they were the same color as mine – as clear and bright as sapphires.

Shortly after he was born, his father named him Felix, which Edward said implied luck, bravery, and manliness. I didn’t know too many boys’ names, so I decided to agree with the name. But whenever we would call out to him, we would just say Phil.

I loved Phil, but it seemed that Edward loved him more. The only time I felt I had exclusive time with my son was while I was nursing him. Other than that, Edward would have him.

In addition to always holding Phil, Edward has even learned to bathe and change his son’s diapers – even though he would always have a look of disgust on his face whenever he did so. I had to say, watching a big, strong, and handsome man change the diapers of such a small person was quite funny and heartwarming.

Alonso and Susanna also love Phil. They often teased him. Susanna said that children needed to be teased more. The more they were teased, the smarter they become. I didn’t know if there was any scientific basis for this, but it was indisputable that Phil became the most popular person in the apartment as both men and women fought to be around him.

During this time, Edward also found someone to get me all the documents I needed to return to the United States. Alonso and Susannah did not hesitate to begin packing their luggage as well.

Then, we discussed whether it was appropriate to fly Phil at his young age. In the end, Dr. Baldwin suggested installing an incubator in Edward’s private plane.

Although Phil was no longer a newborn, Dr. Baldwin said the incubator would maintain constant temperature and humidity, as well as create a noise-free environment. Other than being fed, it would be as if he was back in the womb.

Felix Lancaster would spend most of his first flight in the incubator. When I decided to ask Edward how much it cost to install this whole thing here, the figure he told me made my mind go blank.

It was only a one-time thing and it cost more than $20,000. But Edward didn’t care. He said that for his son’s safety, he wouldn’t hesitate to change the entire casing of the plane to solid gold or bulletproof.

It was the day we set off for the pack and all three of us put on our disguises as Edward’s logistics staff in Southeast Asia drove us to the airport.

Edward carried Phil on his back in his backpack. He had become a very well-groomed dad and I was sure that as soon as we entered the airport lobby and went through security, at least eight women turned to look at him with eyes full of love.

It was the first time I had flown with Edward on his private plane. When the plane took off, Phil was already asleep in the incubator as a woman in a smart uniform came over to greet us. Edward called her Angela and introduced her to us as the plane’s main flight attendant. Angela was kind enough to bring me a blanket.

I looked down through the window. I had never seen the sea from this angle – it was a vast expanse of blue. Eventually, I saw the apartment building we’d been living in during that time. Walking out of the apartment and Alonso closing the door for the last time just moments ago felt like it had all been a dream.

For maximum coverage, Alonso wanted Edward to put him and Susanna in the empty house on the south side of the pack even though they were supposed to be posing as my aunt and uncle, Steven and Laura.

Edward agreed and I would be the one he fell in love with on his business trip, a werewolf named Mona. I would stay with my newborn baby in a guest room in the castle.

When Edward told me about the plan, I didn’t argue much and gave in quite easily. My nonchalance surprised him. He even complained that my feelings for him had faded, so much so that I had no objection to being his ‘lover’.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn’t angry or jealous at all when I knew that he would still keep Emily in check until she was taken down as my fall person. But since Edward had assured me that even though I was his lover for the time being, he would never do anything to betray me. And I believed in him.

My indifference and peace were not because I didn’t care anymore, but because I knew that I was no longer the same person I had been before.

The old Luna Rose had died the moment I gave birth to my son.

Now that I was Mona, I was no longer the weepy and passive girl of the past. I had taken on a new and ‘scary’ identity.

A mother.
