Chapter 662


    Chapter 662 Gently Poking The Face Of The Baby


    Averyy on the hospital bed, the pain from her uterine contractions felt like she was being burned and


    torn apart at the same time. Her consciousness blurred as she reeled from its intensity.


    Yet, even amidst the pain, she felt a sense of joy, for she could clearly hear the resonant cry of the


    newborn baby.


    She saw with her own eyes the baby cradled in the doctor''s arms.


    The child was hers and Cayden''s. It was the proof of their love, and even more so, the flesh and blood


    that connected their lineage.


    Everyone, especially Jeffrey and Allie, was overjoyed because Avery had given birth to a boy.


    The reasons for their joy was naturally different.


    Jeffrey felt that Avery had made a great contribution to their family by bearing an offspring to continue


    Cayden''s line.


    What delighted Allie was that Avery had given birth to a boy. In the future, when it came to dividing the


    family property, she would have an additional bargaining chip on her side, one that was extremely


    powerful.


    Jeffrey man looked at the beautiful baby who was quietly sleeping after being cleaned and swaddled by


    the nurse. Watching how his fair and tender face resembled his grandson''s, Jeffrey was so happy that


    he couldn''t stop smiling.


    The children''s names had always been personally chosen by Cayden in the past.


    Since both Zachary''s and Rory''s names were given by their father, he decided to let Avery name his


    new great-grandson.


    As Avery believed steadfastly that Cayden was still alive, she wanted to give him the right to name their


    child. Hence, she nicknamed the baby “Cal” for the time being.


    Despite the consensus that the nickname Avery had chosen for the child was rather simple, Avery


    simply smiled and offered no exnation.


    When she was pregnant, the baby was very active in her womb, kicking her belly every so often.


    Every time, Cayden would reprimand the baby in her belly without any hesitation. “You little rascal, why


    are you kicking mommy again? From now on, your name will be Cal. If you continue to be this naughty


    after you''re born, I''ll stop ying nice and spank your little bottom instead!”


    At that moment, Avery was so amused by Cayden''s childish words that she couldn''t help butugh.


    Reminisced about it brought her a sense of sweet mncholy.


    Upon hearing the news of Avery''s childbirth, ire rushed to the hospital to visit her at the earliest


    opportunity.


    When she arrived at the hospital with a gift, she saw Avery nursing the baby.


    The twins were sitting obediently by the bed, their eyes unblinkingly fixed on the tiny baby, filled with


    curiosity.


    The two little ones even poked their baby brother''s delicate face. Despite being disturbed by his older


    siblings, the baby didn''t show any signs of being shy.


    After he stopped drinking milk for a moment, hezily yawned and fell into a deep slumber in no time.


    Only after the baby was lulled to sleep did Avery notice ire standing there holding a gift.


    She paused for a moment before apologizing to ire, “I''m sorry, ire. I was just feeding the baby


    and didn''t notice you. When did you arrive?”


    “No worries. I just arrived not too long ago. I wanted to see what the child looks like and if he''s chubby


    and fair-skinned.”


    ire spoke warmly as she set down the gift.


    She walked over to the baby, bending down to take a closer look at his small face. She then clicked her


    tongue in amazement. “This little one really resembles Cayden. Does he have a name yet?”

    “Everyone says that the child resembles his father. I think that''s good. I hope he can grow up to be a


    man of integrity just like his father. As for the baby''s name, his nickname is Cal, but we haven''t chosen


    a formal name yet. We''re waiting for his father toe back to do that,” Avery said, her eyes welling up


    with tears.


    Upon seeing Avery starting to feel upset again, ire hurriedly patted the back of her hand,forting


    her, “Ery, you''ve just given birth, you can''t afford to cry. Otherwise, you''ll end up with postpartum


    complications that will make you sufferter! Listen to me. Cheer up a bit. What could be more joyful


    than Cal''s safe delivery?”


    Avery fought hard to hold back her tears. Staring at the baby''s adorable face in deep sleep, she gently


    nodded.


    “Mommy, why does Cal sleep after eating? Is he a piglet? Why doesn''t he y with me and Zach?”


    Rory asked innocently as she scratched her cheek and stared at the sleeping Cal with widened eyes.


    ire was utterly amused by Rory''s innocent words.


    She pinched Rory''s cheeks and exined to her, “Cal has just been born and is very weak still. He


    needs to drink lots of milk and get plenty of rest so he can grow up quickly and y with you. This is


    how all babies are when they''re little.”


    Rory suddenly understood and nodded vigorously, “Oh, so that''s how it is? Grandma, was it the same


    for Zach and me when we were little?”


    Upon hearing Rory''s cute voice calling her ''grandma'', ire happily patted her little head. “Of course.


    Since you''re so well-behaved, you must have been very obedient when you were little...”


    Giggling softly, Rory shyly covered her face with her hands. Yet Zachary maintained aposed


    demeanor.


    Unlike his younger sister, he would not ask their mother such childish questions.


    His father had told him that a man''s duty was to protect women and his responsibility was to join his


    father in safeguarding the women in their family.


    Now that his father was no longer here, he had be the de-facto man of the house.


    With the addition of his new brother, both of them would protect their mother and sister together in the


    future.


    Even though he was still too young now and physically weak, there wille a day when he would


    grow up.


    ire chatted warmly with Avery for quite a while before she noticed that in the hospital room, aside


    from the doctors and nurses who came to check on the patient at fixed times, there was not a single


    member of the Moore family present. Even Avery''s so-called mother-inw, Allie, was nowhere to be


    seen.


    A sense of gloominess began to overshadow ire''s good mood.


    She couldn''t help but ask in a roundabout way, “Ery, you''ve gone through so much to bear a child for


    the Moore family. Has no one from their familye to visit you? Is none of them willing to keep you


    company here?”


    Avery replied softly, “Grandpa is old. His body can''t take it, so I asked him to go home early. Kendrick


    took his girlfriend for a prenatal check-up, so he didn''t have time to stay here. Besides, he''s just my


    brother-inw, his presence here could be misunderstood and isn''t convenient. My mother-inw did


    come while I was giving birth, but once she saw that both the baby and I were safe and sound, she


    hurried home. She said she had an appointment and important matters to deal with...”


    “How outrageous! Is this how the Moore family treats you and your child? It''s absolutely disheartening!”


    ire, renowned for her good temper and elegance, felt a surge of anger after hearing Avery''s words.


    “What could be more important than her daughter-inw giving birth? It''s clear to me that she doesn''t


    value you and your child at all! Allie, oh Allie, is how you treat my daughter?”


    ire knew that Allie didn''t like Avery, but what infuriated her the most was that her daughter had


    be the daughter-inw of such a woman.
