Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

On the day Serenity gave birth, Rowan worried he wouldn't even get close enough to be among the first to see the baby.

He wanted to be the first one the baby saw, but that seemed like wishful thinking! Rowan was at a loss for words.

Serenity laughed and said, “It doesn’t matter who the baby sees first.

Once the baby is born, you can hold him and play with him whenever you can.

That's how you'll build a bond, and he'll become close to you.” She could already picture their baby becoming the York family’s little darling.
