Next One Is a Babe

Agreeing with John’s statement, Isabelle nodded. “Yeah, I think so too. So, I came to ask my dad’s opinion this time as well. I think if they really have no feelings for each other anymore, it’s best to get a divorce. Although my mom is not that young anymore, she still has quite some time left, so she can totally get together with someone better.”

Matilda laughed next to her. “You’re quite clear-minded, aren’t you? Nowadays, there are not many daughters who are as sensible as you.”

Isabelle laughed too. “I’ll take it as a compliment then.”

Nodding, Matilda replied, “I’m indeed complimenting you.”

Isabelle didn’t stay in Sophia’s ward for too long. After all, she still had to see Elder Mr. Bailey and Old Mr. Bailey.

John sent her off. After Isabelle left, Matilda went to Sophia’s side. “What did you two talk about just now?” Sophia found a comfortable position and leaned back. “What? Are you afraid that I will say nasty things to her, or are you afraid that she came here to agitate me?”

Matilda rolled her eyes at her. “Look at her. When was she ever a match for you? She had always gotten bulldozed by you. It’s just that I saw she came to see you with a gift, so it wouldn’t be nice for you to snub her.”

Let out a long sigh, Sophia uttered, “It seems that you still like her.”

Matilda retorted, “You speak so well that I don’t think you’ve ever suffered under her at all.”

At that moment, the baby gurgled slightly next to them. He was probably feeling a little uncomfortable. Therefore, Matilda brought him to Sophia and lifted the quilt, allowing him to move his arms and legs.

The baby’s small hands and feet were not as big as Sophia’s palms, and they looked pink and tender. Sophia gently held the child’s foot, her heart melting into a puddle all at once.

Waving his little arms around, the baby twisted his head, turned to Sophia, and looked at her with large, blinking eyes. Seeing how adorable her son is, Sophia couldn’t hold back and leaned in to kiss him gently. The little baby opened his mouth and gurgled twice.

Matilda looked at Sophia. “How does it feel? Do you feel that all the suffering before is worth it?”

Sophia nodded. “I’ve never felt like this before. I can’t explain it clearly, but I especially want time to stop at this moment.”

Matilda stretched out a finger and touched the baby’s fingers. The baby naturally curled his fingers around her finger. “This is maternal love. You’ll find that this feeling will become more and more noticeable as the child grows up.” After saying this, Matilda paused and added, “You know what? I got up last night and found John sitting next to the crib, just staring at the baby. You have no idea what the scene looked like. Let me tell you. It’s not just you who has changed. John has also changed a lot.”

Sophia did feel that too. Many times, when she had fallen asleep, John would also stare at her from the side. He didn’t speak nor move but would just stare at her with a gentle gaze and a smile between his eyebrows. John used to treat her well, but he never did that.

So, with this child, both of them were slowly changing. Because it was a natural birth, Sophia did not stay in the hospital for too many days and was discharged after four days.
