Sophia tutted at him. “I’m not gonna bicker with you anymore. I’m going to see my darling.”

With that, she went out of the room and headed to the nursery. The baby woke up a long time ago and had been carried downstairs by the postnatal caregiver.

Sophia turned around and went downstairs. When she reached the stairs, she saw the baby kicking his little feet and waving his little hands in the crib.
