Love Coming from the Least Expected novel Chapter 508

Waa! The moment a baby’s loud wail pierced the air, I was so thrilled that tears almost escaped my eyes. Oh my God, that’s my godson!

“Congratulations! It’s an adorable baby boy! Both mother and child are doing fine. Please send your wife and the child to the hospital for further examination.”

As Zachary cradled the baby, he grinned like a fool. The doctor had to repeat himself several times before he finally gathered his wits about him and handed the child to me.

I carefully cradled the tiny and delicate baby. He had just entered the world, so even opening his eyes was a strenuous task to him. He cried for a while at first before he started looking around curiously, blinking his black eyes every so often. When I gently touched his cheek, he giggled at me.

A maternal instinct spread all over me, and I dipped my head to peck him on his soft cheek.

Even after placing the child into the incubator, I still couldn’t bear to part with him. Through the glass, I gently stroked his tiny hand, and he likewise waved his hands before touching it to my palm.

“Aw, how adorable! My heart is melting at the sight of him!”

“Why is he so unsightly? He’s wrinkly, and his face is also bright red. How ugly! But then, both Zachary and Sabrina have decent looks…” A frown marred Christopher’s face, and bemusement was written all over his face after he beheld the child.

Hah! It’s rare that there’s something he doesn’t know! I poke his forehead huffily. “A baby is naturally wrinkly when he has just entered the world, okay? He’ll need a few days to grow, and he’ll look just fine then. You’ve got no common sense at all! You’re lucky I wasn’t the one giving birth. Otherwise, I’ll definitely get angry if you say such a thing.”

“Naturally, that’ll never happen. Even if our child is wrinkly, he or she is the most good-looking one!” Christopher proclaimed domineeringly as he waved a hand firmly.

Hmm… Okay, then. He’s always unreasonable when it comes to his family!

As a new mother, Sabrina struggled quite a bit. On the very first day she took care of the child, she made quite a number of mistakes. She either inverted the diaper when changing his diaper or placed him down before he had eaten his fill when feeding him. I only helped out at the hospital, but I was already dead tired.

“Who’s calling that you’re so nervous?” Sabrina leaned over for a peek.

“It’s a call from my future mother-in-law, and this is the first time she ever phoned me. I’m so nervous! What should I say after answering the call? Should I act simpering or serious?”

“What future mother-in-law? You’ve been married to Christopher for a year now. You know what? When you think you’re pregnant, go to Lane residence with Christopher for a visit. I guarantee you that Mrs. Lane will be more anxious than you,” Sabrina muttered.

Clearing my throat, I only answered the call after I had composed myself. Trying my best to sound normal, I smilingly greeted, “Hello, Julia. It’s been a long time. Is something the matter?”

“What nonsense are you spouting? You and Chris came over and had dinner just the evening before yesterday. It’s only been two days.” Subsequently, Julia demanded in a chagrined voice, “Where are you now? Didn’t you say that you’ll go shopping with me today? Yet, I see no sign of you! Are you this disrespectful toward your elders?”
