Winter passed, and spring came. Cordelia’s baby bump grew in the blink of an eye as she was nearing five months.
Without the morning sickness, her appetite improved, and the baby grew well. Her stomach was bigger than
regular pregnant women’s.
Other than the big belly, however, her limbs were slim, and she looked more radiant day after day.
She could feel the baby’s movement and imagined how cute it was to turn around or stretch in her womb, letting
out giggles involuntarily. The bliss of being a mother was evident in her, and others wished her the best genuinely
when they saw it.
Rowan was the first to lose his composure. With the excuse of observing the medical standard of the joint hospital,
he came to Centrolis again. This time, he checked Cordelia on his own.
After combining both modern medicine and a holistic approach, the final conclusion was reached—Cordelia was
carrying a baby boy!
Once the news got out, the Hamertons blew up.
Liam was so happy that he barely slept, for days. Even when he napped on the couch, he jolted awake in glee. He
even sent someone to the Sweltzar bank to retrieve five big boxes he had deposited there for years.
Even Zephyr had never seen the boxes and was stunned when the boxes came back.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEach box was filled with gold—gold lockets, gold chains, gold bangles, jade embedded gold necklaces. The most
shocking one was the one with neatly arranged gold bricks and bars.
The value of one single box was already immeasurable, and they were talking about five boxes!
“Grandpa, these are…”
“What are you looking at?” Liam guarded the boxes like his food, covering them with his hands, and looked at
Zephyr in disdain. “These are for my little great-grandson. Don’t even think about it!”
Zephyr paused as he was hit by deja vu.
He remembered that he had been greatly shocked and had taken days to recover when mercury was found in the
birthday cake on his ninth birthday. His grandfather then took out that wooden accessory box that kept the Le Esse
and Le Fari, as well as a bunch of jewelry, passed down over generations.
Back then…
Henry asked the old man not to give these valuable things to a child for fun, but the old man glared at him. “What
do you mean for fun? These are for my precious grandson to pull him out of his shock!”
Henry was speechless, but Liam tossed him a disdainful look before he could say much.
…
“What are you looking at? These are for my precious grandson. Don’t even think about it!”
Oh, how the times had changed! He was no longer the old man’s precious baby now. Sigh, he did not know that his
grandfather was fickle in his affection!
Zephyr glanced at Liam glumly. Forget it. He was not going to be petty with an old man.
Returning to Royal Manor, Zephyr saw Cordelia resting on the couch as she browsed the channels lazily.
The bag of chips in front of her was mostly emptied, and the broken pieces left were hard to grab. She lifted the
bag and poured everything into her mouth with a tilt of her neck instead, action smooth and swift without a hitch.
Zephyr let a chuckle escape.
Only then did Cordelia realize he was back and nearly choked on the mouthful of chips. Thinking how he must have
seen her primitive way of eating, she could not help blushing.
“W-Why isn’t there any sound when you come back? Are you a cat!?”

Zephyr squinted at Cordelia for some time. He was suddenly aroused seeing her red cheeks and baby bump, as
well as how she exuded a different air of matured charm tinged with the playfulness of a girl…
He smiled and went over to sit with her, wiping the chip hanging at the corner of her lips with his thumb.
“Why are you looking at me so strangely like this?” Cordelia muttered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Nothing, just…” Zephyr rubbed her stomach. “Just want to know what he looks like.”
“Really?” Cordelia was surprised.
Zephyr had not been too happy since they found out that it was a boy. Cordelia had even found a “Ten Family Rules
of Teaching a Boy” that he had written in the drawer of his study.
The first one was to beat him up in case he did not listen.
When Cordelia saw it, she huffed an angry laugh and kept it back in the drawer the same way she found it.
What was up with this man today? Did he suddenly realize his fatherly side?
Cordelia smiled sweetly. “Darling, do you really want to know what the baby looks like?”
“Of course!”
“But you’re with me every time I go for checkups! Didn’t you see his face on the doctor’s ultrasound machine?”
“How does that count?” Zephyr chuckled. “We can only see a general outline on the screen. It’s not clear. Besides,
the baby’s only five months now and isn’t done growing… Hmm, I mean, I’d like to know what he’s like when he’s
born.”
“I can tell you!” Cordelia was thrilled. “I dreamed about it!”
Zephyr’s heart dropped.
