Sophia shook her head. “No. Move aside please, I want to see my son.”

Immediately, John’s face fell. “You no longer need your husband when you have your son.”

Sophia went along with his words and retorted, “Why do I need you when I already have my son?”

John grinned but didn’t answer, whereupon he shifted his position and turned to look at the baby on the bed. The baby slept soundly. His face was a little wrinkled, and they couldn’t tell who he looked like more with his current facial features.

Looking at her newborn son, Sophia had a gentle-looking expression on her face. “So, it turns out to be a boy. I thought it would be a girl.”
