Chapter 614
Hackett was in a particrly good mood today.
Early in the morning, he brought creamy potato soup to the hospital. His mother-inw had gotten up
early to boil the soup, saying it would replenish everyone''s energy. When he entered the ward, he
found Frank still sleeping, while others had already been up.
Sensing the movement, Frank thought it was his son waking up. Mechanically, he began to rock the
bass, and Hackett walked in,pletely stunned. The corner of his mouth twitched. He asked,
"What are you doing? The child is sleeping well, and why are you rocking the bass?"
Frank felt bewildered andpletely exhausted. His arms were sore, more tired than if he had been in
a physical altercation. He never thought such a small baby could be so difficult to handle.
"Holy shit, what did you dost night? What''s wrong with you?" Frank opened his eyes tiredly, and
Hackett, holding the creamy potato soup, came closer to look at Frank. Gloating was evident in his
eyes. Frank pushed him away.
Indeed, Hackett hade over early in the morning just to watch the show, and he saw it. "Don''t tell
me that you stayed up all night! Your son is awesome, and it seems that he is your boss now."
Frank was so tired that he couldn''t even keep his eyes open. He pinched his brow and yawned
constantly, suspecting that Hackett was just there to gloat over his plight, not to deliver the soup.
"You seem to have nothing to do."
"Yeah." Frank''s son, who was sleeping peacefully now, didn''t wake up when they talked. In the middle
of the night, he was the one who kept crying on a loop, and Frank had to rock the bass all the time
to keep his son settle down.
Grace walked over to take a look at her son Frank, who was still sitting on the sofa. Frank was really
tired. In the past, when he was in the Lithern Club, even if he stayed upte at night, during the day he
would still catch up on his sleep until the afternoon. "Frank, go inside and catch up on your sleep. I''ll
keep an eye on the child."
Emma also thought that Frank''s body would copse if this went on. "Yes, go inside and take a nap, or
have a bowl of soup first."
Frank waved his hand. He really couldn''t stay up any longer. He intended to catch up on his sleep. Ava
looked at Frank, who was exhausted, with aching sympathy. His chin was bruised, and there were dark
circles under his eyes. Before he entered the room, he met Ava''s worried eyes and then said, "It''s okay.
I just need to get some sleep."

Ava nodded. Luckily, their daughter was quite well-behaved. Otherwise, the whole family would be
exhausted. "Why don''t we hire a babysitter?"
Hackett gave the soup to Grace and knew Frank''s temperament well. "It won''t work. Even if you hire a
babysitter, Frank will still take care of babies himself."
Grace responded, "It''s okay. Being a father also has its responsibilities. You gave birth to the children,
and it''s naturally his responsibility to take care of the children. After all, he can''t just enjoy being a
father without doing nothing. In this case, he can also feel the difficulty of raising a child."
But for Ava, it was just kind of heartbreaking to watch Frank like this. Her son was really hard to take
care of.
Hackett nodded, agreeing with Grace''s words. Frank had to go through it. And that was also what he
had been through. Although his two kidsbined weren''t as noisy as Frank''s son, they were quite a
handful.
Hackett had just left when Daniel and William came to drop off breakfast.
Wiim came in and realized his son wasn''t there. He wondered where Frank had gone in the morning,
thinking Frank had gone to buy breakfast. "Where''s Frank?"
Grace replied, "In bed."
William asked, looking at the chicken soup on the table, "Where did this soupe from?" Daniel was
also confused. Just as they were thinking about it, there was a knock on the door, and Trevon walked
in, suited and booted, carrying lots of breakfast in his hand.
Emma walked over to take the food and smiled gently. "Why are you here? Don''t you have to take
Jasper to school?"
Trevon nced at the tightly closed guest room and guessed that Frank was still sleeping. He
immediately realized that Frank didn''t have a good sleepst night. It was truly hard to be a father.
"Natalie asked me toe over to deliver breakfast. She will send Jasper to kindergarten."
Daniel was now more and more satisfied with Trevon. He treated Natalie well, and he did things
thoughtfully. "Tomorrow, you don''t have toe here. There''s no need to ask you to rush over here to
deliver the breakfast in the morning. I will be mad if you do it again."
Trevon replied, "That''s fine. Then I won''te tomorrow."
Since Frank was not there, Trevon did not stay long. He stood for a while, chatted a few words to
Emma and the others, and left.
Breakfast was abundant, including the soup Hackett brought over. With so few people, they couldn''t
finish the food all. Emma shared the food with the nurse on duty, expressing gratitude forst night''s
assistance. The nurse thanked her again and again, hesitated to ept until Emma assured her that
there would not be any problems.
The nurse knew that this room was reserved for a VIP guest. The dean had exined it repeatedly, but
she was not the type to rush up and kiss up to authority. Last night, she just gave her professional
advice when seeing Frank holding the baby all the time. In truth, when she did speak, there was a hint
of fear in her heart.
After all, the children from affluent families meant a lot to those powerful people. However, she didn''t
expect this family to be so easygoing. She then realized that not every affluent family was hard to deal
with, and this family was an example.
Early the next morning.
Daniel and William arrived to deliver breakfast as usual. Following them were Joseph and Christina,
who came to see Ava before their departure to Sapphire Cityter in the day.
Aware of their impending departure, Emma tried to express something to Christina, "Christina, why not
let George stay at Athana, and I''ll take care of him."
Understanding Emma''s meaning, Christina grasped Emma''s hand, standing gracefully in her heels,
and said with a gentle smile, "No, someone''s ready to head to Sapphire City for a couple of months just
to enjoy the atmosphere."
"Huh?" Both Emma and Ava wore identical expressions of confusion, while Grace, seemingly
anticipating it, smiled knowingly.
Christina patted Emma''s hands, which, despite nearing 60, didn''t show signs of aging, "It''s my mom.
She is nning to spend a few days in Sapphire City to avoid my sister and brother. She says she
doesn''t want to be surrounded by a leftover woman and a leftover man every day, fearing it might affect
her mood."
Ava burst intoughter, though her wounds protested with a painful tug. She covered her belly with one
hand whileughing. Grace reminded her to be careful.
William, evidently pleased, chimed in, "So Charlie''s wife is so upset she''s leaving the house. Chris is
really an ungrateful son. See, Frank already has two kids. Why isn''t he worried about his marriage at
all?"
Grace patted the back of the proud William and said, "No one will think you''re foolish if you stay silent.
Just shut uo and enjoy your breakfast."
Grace stuffed a hotdog into William''s mouth and shot him a warning look.
Christina smiled and then said, "You''re right, William. My mom is already so worried about Chris''s
marriage that she is going bald."
Joseph always invited Chris to go to hispany, but Chris never went once, leaving Christina feeling
helpless.
William nodded, his mouth full of food, and continued to say, "If I were your father, I''d be anxious too.
It''s a good thing you had the vision to find a good man like Joseph."
At this time, Daniel said, "Take it easy. Everything can be resolved immediately when it''s the time. Did
Frank rock the bass all night?"
Originally, Joseph had nned to let Christina stay in Athana, and he would go back with his father.
However, his mother-inw insisted on following them to Sapphire City and even found an excuse to
alleviate any burdens. In reality, Joseph knew that his mother-inw just wanted to offer help. He
secretly noted the kindness of his mother-inw down in his heart without revealing it.
Since his mother-inw was going to Sapphire City, Joseph decided to let Daniel stay in Athana a while
longer. He and Christina could handle thepany''s affairs.
Ava said, "Well, he must be very tired."
"It''s not easy being a dad." Daniel nodded his head. "But Ava used to be quieter when she was a little
kid, just like her daughter now."
Joseph went over to help Ava have breakfast, dotingly rubbing her hair and saying something quietly.
Ava smiled and reassured her brother.
William added, "Maybe there is the gene for staying upte in Frank''s body. In the past, Frank used to
stay upte at night and sleep during the day. Now, look at my grandson, who is exactly the same as
his father. They all sleep during the day as if having worked the night shift."
They considered it and all thought William was right. Frank''s son during the day was much quieter, but
only until the afternoon when his sleep became unstable. Frank basically slept until noon and then got
up, counting only a few hours of sleep a day.
In fact, it was much tiring for him than when the Lithern Club just opened.
Sherri said that Frank was in the same state as working in a factory on the night shift.
After a quick breakfast, Ava went to bed, and Grace sat on the couch, reading magazines.
Seeing that his son and daughter-inw were returning to the Yamin family, and that Angie was
heading to Sapphire City in the afternoon, Daniel decided to go to the Yamin family to express his
gratitude. Emma also thought she should go to thank Angie in person, but she was stopped by
Christina, who told her to take care of Ava at the hospital and not to worry about that.
In the end, Emma was left, and she had to sit by Grace''s side and read books.
Christina arrived in a sports car, which could only seat two people. William could only drive his car over.
He was willing to be the driver. After all, showing off to Charlie on the phone was less funny than
showing off to Charlie face in face.
At this point, the streets of Athana were full of vehicles. Intermittent horn sounded throughout the road,
and there were always red lights along the way, which drove people to anxiety.
After 50 minutes, they finally arrived at the Yamins'' Vi.
William was the first to get out of the car, followed by Daniel. The gifts had been bought earlier and
stuffed in the trunk of William''s car. William opened the trunk, grabbed the gifts, and handed some to
Daniel.
Joseph walked over to help his father carry the gifts, while William refused Joseph''s help with the items
in his hand, saying, "No, I can''t go inside empty-handed. Charlie will use me being impolite."
Upon hearing this, Christina and Joseph smiled, not knowing what to say.
They walked together, and William was more familiar with the route than Christina. He was now walking
in front. Joseph and Christina followed closely behind, and Daniel smiled at the back.
William skillfully inputted the password, opened the door, and before the others had entered, he said,
"Charlie, I came to visit you with gifts, and you didn''t evene out to wee me. What a shame."
These days Charlie did not go to thepany because he wanted to apany George, and his wife
was leaving in the afternoon. He sat on the sofa and nced at the things in William''s hand, saying, "I
didn''t invite you. You''re uninvited."
For Charlie''s dissatisfaction, William directly ignored it. He put the things in his hand on the table and
said, "These were all bought by Daniel. I don''t need to spend a penny toe here. It''s not like I don''t
know the password."
When they saw Danieling in, Angie and Charlie both stood up enthusiastically. Angie gently ced
George down and entrusted her daughter to look after him while she went into the kitchen to make
coffee.
Not a momentter, Angie emerged from the kitchen carrying a few cups of coffee. Joseph stepped
forward, ready to take those cups of coffee from his mother-inw''s hands, "Let me handle it."
Angie responded, "You sit down. I can handle it." Nevertheless, Joseph still took over those cups of
coffee and ced them in front of Daniel and William.
As Daniel sat down, he straightened his back and said, "I''m sorry. I shoulde here for a visit earlier."
Charlie took a sip of his coffee, while William seemed to settle infortably as if he was in his home,
Charlie nced at William and remarked, "You don''t have to say that. It''s not a big deal. If I fuss about
such things, I wouldn''t put up with William."
William interjected at this time, "Charlie, it seems that you don''t wee me."
Charlie remained silent, wondering that even if unwee, William could stille and go as he
wanted. He once asked this proud guy to introduce a girl to his son, but William refused, and now,
William showed off to him every day.
George and Daniel had a great rtionship. Since Daniel arrived, the little guy had jumped from
Christina''s arms to Daniel''s, eximing, "Grandpa."
Daniel lovingly stroked his grandson''s head and smiled, "Have you been a good boy?"
George nodded like a grown-up, indicating that he was always be a good boy. Reаd at

Angie chimed in, sitting down beside her daughter, "There''s no need to be overly concerned about
etiquette between our two families. Just learn from William. Charlie and I aren''t hard people. Ava has
just finished giving birth, and you must all be very busy."
"To talk about etiquette, Charlie and I haven''t even gone to visit Ava yet," Angie added. Despite her
somewhat cranky personality, she remained considerate of manners.
Daniel nodded in agreement but remained silent. Since they all said so, he didn''t need to feel unease
anymore.
Hearing this, William''s smile widened. "It''s all thanks to Ava. She gave birth to the twins. Charlie, you
should ask Chris to a girl with the twin genes to increase the chances of having grandchildren at the
same time in the future."
Charlie, disying a rare moment of humility, replied, "Well, Chris is not as lucky as Frank." He had
already given up hope for his son getting married. This was mainly because he and Ste would have
an argument about who should get married first when the topic arose.
Angie sighed, "That''s also why I want to move to Sapphire City. You know, I want to live a happy life."
Their conversation also amused Christina and Joseph, who were sitting nearby. Joseph, with his legs
slightly apart and hands propped up on his legs, looked at his father-inw. "Just let Chris go to the
Joseph and Christina exchanged meaningful nces. Christina shrugged and indicated there was
nothing more she could do.
Joseph patted Christina''s hand confidently, reassuring her.
They stayed in the Yamin family for almost three hours until Joseph and Christina, along with Chris,
prepared to leave for the airport. Daniel and the others left together, first driving their son to the ne.
After the ne took off, Daniel followed William back to thepany.
