Finally, Valda took Harley.
âHarley, thatâs a nice name,â said Hadwin. âI heard Valda had a smooth delivery this time. Among the few of us, your wife had the smoothest delivery, didnât she?â
Is it smooth? Brian imagined the scene of Valda giving birth and broke out in a cold sweat for the rest of his life. At that moment, he truly understood what it meant to be powerless.
No matter how much money or power one has, it cannot replace the suffering of losing the person they love the most.
âBrian murmured, âI feel like giving birth is really painful for women.ââ
âYeah, but thereâs no way to replace it,â Hadwin said with a heavy heart. âItâs just that it hurts so much, and yet some people still want to have a second child. With so many children, whatâs the point?â
As the man with the most children present, Jason listened and smiled, âI think itâs great, more children bring more blessings.â
âIs that so? You seem to do well when competing for attention with your children at home,â pointed out Hadwin without hesitation.
Okay, favoritism is indeed a problem. Even Jason couldnât find the words to say for a moment.
Just then, Grace and Lina brought the baby out, and Jason and Hadwin finally saw the baby.
âCome and take a look, the child is so cute!â Lina said, âSo adorable! I really want to have one myself just by looking at it.â
Hadwin gave Lina a look, âDonât even think about it. If you have another one, youâll be an elderly mother.â
Lina was speechless, âIâm just thinking about it, I donât really want to have one.â She also knew that she was getting older now, and having a child was not that easy.
Jason looked at the baby, who was chubby and strong. Compared to his own daughter when she was born, the baby looked much better.
Thinking of his own daughter being born prematurely, Jasonâs eyes dimmed. His daughter had stayed in an incubator for a long time before slowly recovering.
However, even so, her physical condition was still weaker than that of ordinary children, and she was more prone to illness. Even a small cold was more likely to develop into pneumonia than other children.
Feeling Jasonâs change of mood at the moment, Grace raised her hand and gently pulled her husbandâs arm.
Jason turned his head and met Graceâs caring gaze. He smiled slightly.
After being married for many years, even if they donât say anything, they understand each other.
âAfter Valda,â Jason said after a moment, looking at the newborn Harley.
âHow did you figure that out?â Grace asked curiously.
âWith more children, you naturally start to see the resemblance,â
Jason replied.
ââ¦â Grace suddenly didnât know what to say. Why didnât she see it?
âBut since the babyâs eyes arenât open, itâs unclear whose eyes they resemble,â Jason added.
Brianâs face lit up when he heard that the baby looked like Valda.
After Jason and the others left, Brian turned to Valda and said, âJason said the baby looks like you.â
âLike me?â Valda was a little surprised.
âYeah, he said the babyâs bone structure looks more like yours,â Brian said. âWe just donât know whose eyes the baby has. It would be great if they looked like yours too.â
Valda chuckled, âDonât you think it would be a shame if your beautiful eyes didnât get passed down to your children?â
âBut me, I prefer looking into your eyes,â said Brian.
Valda felt a wave of sweetness in her heart. Although she thought her eyes were just ordinary, wellâ¦
this is probably what they mean by âbeauty is in the eye of the beholderâ.
âIf everyone was like me, then where would your genetic traits be displayed?â Valda said.
âBlood type, the childâs blood type, is the same as mine,â said Brian.
Valda chuckled and then lowered her head, looking at the little baby in her arms. âI hope our Harley can open his eyes soon!â
She really wants to see what the baby looks like with its eyes open, and she also wants the baby to see her as its mommy as soon as possible.
