Chapter 49 Leo thought himself was no longer a baby boy so he was a little embarrassed to be held in Lauren's arms, so he said to her, "I will wash it myself." Lauren was surprised but she respected him and let him go. The bathroom sink in Leo's room was a little high, so he stepped on a small stool, and then washed his hands and face. He even knew how to use facial cleanser. This facial cleanser was chosen by Daphne, with no additives and no fragrance, specially designed for children. After washing his face, Leo turned to Lauren and showed his clean face. "You are so great!" Lauren kissed Leo on his cute face, and took him back to the bedroom. His bedroom has not changed much, except for a dog-like stuffed toy at the head of the bed. This was a gift from Lauren. Leo's room was neatly cleaned up, and his toys were all placed in a cabinet. There was not a single toy placed randomly. The pencils and notebooks on the small desk were also neatly arranged. There was not even a wrinkle on the sheet. Because everything was so neat, that red dog toy was very conspicuous. Leo cherished this dog toy very much and he even dressed it with a small hat and cute little leather shoes. Seeing Lauren staring at this toy. Leo was a little shy. He lowered his eyes and blinked his eyes. He told Lauren that because he liked this toy very much, he always held it to sleep. After Daphne washed this toy, Leo thought it was no longer cute, so he put clothes on it. After Lauren heard this, there seemed to be a soft little brush, brushing her heart. It was a pleasure that her gift was cherished ke this. Lauren found that this cute and innocent boy always brought her special feelings. The more time she spent with beo, the more she would like him. Sometimes, she even couldn't believe she could get such sincere and wholehearted love from a child. She squatted down, looked to Leon's eyes level, and told him seriously, "Don't worry. I will give you many, many gifts." "Really?" Leo's eyes widened, and he looked at Leo with surprise and expectation. Lauren turned around and led Leo downstairs. She showed him the two gifts she brought this time. After Leo saw the gifts, he happily circled her, and said, "I like them so much! I feel so happy! I am happier than yesterday. I like u, Lauren." Lauren was almost caught in Leo's sweet words. At this moment, Charlie walked downstairs and saw Lauren and Leo. He even vied his son of staying with Lauren! "Why didn't Lauren care about me?"
