Georgie Clementine nodded as she subconsciously clasped her hands together. “Yes, it’s all my fault. I was too confident in myself.”“Don’t be that way anymore," Henry Armstrong's father advised. "Work is important, but your health is even more so. You shouldn’t work too hard even if you’re not pregnant or your body would be exhausted."Henry’s mother also nodded in agreement. “He's right. Our family has more than enough money to look after you even if you don’t work and stay home.“Women shouldn’t work so hard anyway,” she added, sighing at the situation before her.She never thought she’d one day be on such good terms with Georgie when she used to disapprove of her so much. She certainly never expected to be so concerned about her. She felt ashamed as she thought about the things she used to say to Georgie back then.Her daughter-in-law chuckled. “Okay, I’ll pay attention. Nonetheless, I’m not going to stay at home and not do something. I have my dreams and goals, and I’ve dev
“He hasn't cried once since he was born. On the contrary, he smiled,” Henry Armstrong replied.His parents both had looks of disbelief in their eyes. “Are you serious?” they asked simultaneously.He nodded.“That’s truly unusual. People say that kids like this are born lucky,” his mother expressed in wonder.“That’s redundant," his father spoke up. "The baby was born into our family. Of course, he’s lucky.”“Not only is he lucky, but he can also bring good luck to our family,” she said.“Seriously?” his father questioned.She nodded silently.Even Henry was surprised to hear that.It didn't matter if there was any truth in it, but everyone felt even happier after hearing what she said.“That’s all the more reason we ought to protect this baby,” his father said.“Yeah, our grandson is a gift from God. We have to protect him,” she stated in agreement.The Armstrong family was in love with the newborn baby before their eyes, feeling reluctant to leave his side for a long while
The mood in the ward suddenly became tense after the family discussion. They might have a solution for now, but it was still unsettling to know the baby had this particular blood type.“All right, let’s not talk about this," Henry Armstrong's mother said. "What’s the child’s name? Have you thought of one?”“I have a decent name in mind,” her husband told them, drawing the younger couple's curious gazes.Henry and Georgie Clementine had come up with the baby’s name long ago, but they still wanted to hear his suggestion if he had one.It would be meaningful to use his suggested name if they all liked it. He would surely be happy with that.“What do you think about the name Landon Armstrong?”“Not bad," Henry's mother said thoughtfully. "If they have a daughter in the future, we can call her Melinda. Landon and Melinda are such beautiful names.”Georgie and Henry both liked the name more than their initial choice.“Okay, I like it. Let’s go with Landon,” Georgie instantly said aft
Everyone in the hospital knew that the Armstrong family treated Georgie Clementine like a queen.There wasn’t a pregnant woman in the obstetrics ward who wasn’t envious of her.That day, Landon Armstrong went through a thorough checkup before doctors deemed him fit to be discharged. The Armstrong family then brought him and Georgie back to the family’s house.The family had unanimously decided that she would complete the rest of her postpartum recovery at her in-laws’ home.Henry Armstrong carried his wife inside while his mother held Landon in her arms behind them upon arrival.The baby boy was small and soft, with a unique scent that only babies seemed to have. His grandmother felt her heart turn to mush for him and was even willing to die for the child.She even grew fonder of Georgie as a result of her newborn grandson.Henry carefully lowered his wife to the couch as his mother brought Landon over to sit beside her while they waited for the maids to bring his nannies upst
Henry Armstrong’s father looked at Landon Armstrong affectionately.Right then, Jenny Armstrong walked in from the outside, releasing a long, helpless sigh when she saw her parents’ reaction.Then, she quickly sat down next to her father and turned to address her brother and Georgie Clementine. “Hey Brother, hey Georgie. Sorry, I couldn't pick you up at the hospital, but something came up at school.”“Don't worry about it. We understand," Georgie replied with a chuckle. "Dad and Mom were there to pick us up."Right then, Henry’s parents had their full attention on Landon and continued to lavish their affections on him.Jenny helplessly shook her head. “Human relationships are full of mystery. In the past, I wouldn’t dare imagine you two being so good to my new nephew,” she said playfully.“What’s the matter? Are you enjoying yourself a little too much now?” she added.Her parents awkwardly coughed and exchanged glances. Neither of them spoke.“Jenny, that’s all in the past. We
It seemed as if Landon Armstrong could understand what was happening.His grandmother kept making all sorts of funny faces as she took pictures, making everyone else laugh out loud.“He is way too adorable!" Jenny Armstrong said. "How could such a perfect child exist? Mom, remember to send me the pictures. I want to show them off on my social media feed.”She used to get annoyed by people showing off their children’s pictures in the past. She couldn’t understand what they were thinking at the time. But since her nephew was born, she had turned into the very kind of person she disliked the most.She would take pictures and publish them on social media whenever he was by her side, receiving many likes for her posts each time.Anyone who saw him would adore him, commenting how adorable and handsome he was and how much they all wanted to hug him.Jenny found joy and pride in having such an adorable nephew.“Me, too,” Henry Armstrong and Georgie Clementine agreed simultaneously.Hen
At night, Xyla Quest, Stanley Batton, Josh Batton, Annabeth Cates, Rachel Wood, and Sebastian Brenand gathered at the Armstrong family’s house to visit Georgie Clementine and the latest addition to the family.Henry Armstrong’s mother had prepared a feast for everyone, which they enjoyed immensely.After dinner, everyone moved to the living room, where two tables had been set up for poker.Xyla passed on poker in favor of heading up to the nursery, where she found Georgie observing while a few nannies fed bottled milk to Landon Armstrong.The entire room had a light milky scent, one that instantly melted Xyla's heart whenever she smelled it.Georgie was on her bed but quickly moved aside to pat the space next to her. "Here, have a seat."Xyla smiled and sat down. “Are you bored during postpartum recovery?”She instantly nodded in relief as if she’d finally met someone who understood her. “How could it not be boring? I’m practically dying of boredom over here.“I hope the rest o
Xyla Quest merely shrugged in nonchalance. “I am fine, honestly. Don’t worry.”It was exhausting to work alone, but she would never show it in front of Georgie Clementine.She finally realized how much she had relied on her friend for assistance on multiple things when she took over all the workload in X Entertainment.Managing an entertainment company proved to be much more challenging than managing a real estate company.Xyla felt even more grateful to her friend from the bottom of her heart.Georgie naturally knew she was lying, but she didn’t comment on it. Instead, she nodded and smiled. “Wait for me, and I’ll be back very soon. It’ll only be one more month, so hang in there.”“You make it sound as if I can’t live without you,” Xyla replied with a chuckle.“All right, all right, you are a capable, strong woman, okay? Xyla is the best,” Georgie grinned at her.Xyla nodded in satisfaction. “Yes, that’s more like it.”Then, she shifted her attention to Landon Armstrong, noti
