My Husband, Warm The Bed

Perhaps that was not the case, but it was so to Jayden.

His wife was beautiful, so naturally his daughter would be too. The kind of distinctive beauty that no other women could compare to.

Jayden said, "No matter whom our daughter resembles, there is no doubt that she'll be good-looking."

Silvia had never thought that she would hear such boastful words from a reserved person such as Jayden himself. She smiled and said, "You, praising your daughter like this, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"I'm telling the truth. Whoever has the gut to laugh at me, I'll pull his teeth out." Jayden was staring at the baby. She appeared rather crumpled up, but in his eyes, she was no less than a fairy. "Silvia, look at her eyelashes. They're very long, just like yours."

Silvia chuckled and said, "Was that a roundabout way of giving me a compliment?"

"Have I never praised you for being good looking before?" said Jayden.

Pensively, Silvia thought before she said, "I don't think so."

It was true that his wife was gorgeous, but it seemed rather self-conscious for Jayden to spell it out loud. However, under Silvia's expectant gaze, he would hate to disappoint her. "Our baby is good looking because she looks like you, so it followed that you are also good looking."

Silvia chewed at her lips. "But why do I feel that the baby looks more like you?"

"Like me?" Jayden stared at the baby again. "I think she'll be better off taking after you."

Silvia grinned and said, "Are you that insecure about your looks?"

"It's not that I'm not confident. I just think that as a girl, she would be better if she looked more like you." Jayden drew his face to Silvia and said, "Look at my face. Such defined lines. A girl shouldn't look like this."

"Oh, you!" Silvia was amused by him. She laughed and felt a tug at her stitches. It was a little painful, but she endured it and kept a straight face. He was already very worried about her, and she did not want to add to it.

Often times, Silvia would wonder. How did she manage to be blessed with a husband who adored her so much?

"Well, it's getting late. You should sleep for a while." Jayden tucked Silvia into the blanket and sat beside her. He intended to sit by their side all night.

"You should go to bed too. Your body won't be able to take it if you guard us like this." Silvia pointed to the bed next to her. "We are in the same room. I will holler if I need anything."

"You go to sleep first. I will accompany you for a while." For Jayden, it was not so much as worried, rather he just couldn't take his eyes off them. If he could, he would behold them like this for the rest of his life. Silvia knew that Jayden could be as stubborn as a bull when he wanted to be, and she stopped trying to dissuade him. As she slowly closed her eyes, she added, "Don't stay too long, we still need you to take care of us."

Seeing that they had hired a nanny, they could leave most things to her. But Jayden still wanted to do things personally. Quoting his own words, it was his wife and daughter. How could he hand them over to be cared for under someone else?

Watching as Silvia slowly entered her dreamland, Jayden quietly sat beside them. At times, he would look at Silvia's familiar face, and at times, he would stare at the little baby beside her.

As he watched, the baby seemed to twitch a little. Her face wrinkled, as though she was about to cry. Jayden quickly stretched out his hand and patted lightly on the blanket, saying, "Daddy is just right here. Be good. Sleep tight. Don't wake Mommy up."

As if she understood what he had said, the little one puckered her lips. Very quickly, she settled into a silence again. Her miniature appearance was so cute that it thawed Jayden's heart.

He never knew he could feel such bliss!

The family members who had come over from Chatterton Town were busy as well. As if agreed upon, they all woke up early in the morning.

Some were busy decorating the nursery, others were busy arranging all the gifts for the baby. Even the two little boys, Larry and Lawrie, were up and about. They had prepared a gift for their little cousin, hoping she would like it.

"Larry, Lawrie, what are you two doing?" During her free time, Karen Joy saw the two little guys sitting in the corner of the room discussing something, so she approached them to ask. Larry pointed at the remote control car and said, "Mom, I want to gift this car to the baby!"

"Isn't this one of your favorite toys? Are you really willing to give it to your little cousin?" Larry owned a lot of toys, but this toy car in particular was his favorite. In the past, when other children had asked to play with it, he had always been reluctant. But now, he was so generously giving it away to the baby. A surge of warmth rose in Karen Joy's heart. He knew how to take care of a baby at such a young age. "Mom, she is younger than me. She's really small, so I need to take care of her." Larry felt a pang in his heart when his mother had doubted his sincere thought to care for his baby cousin.

"Okay, looks like I have underestimated your love for her! I apologize. Don't be angry with me, okay?" Karen Joy firmly believed in educating her children by treating them like a friend. Since she had hurt his feelings, she should apologize. Her principles were what led to Larry growing up to become such an innocent yet sensible little boy.

"Mom, it doesn't matter. I forgive you." Larry stood up, held Karen Joy's face in his palm and pecked her. "I love you so much, I would never be angry with you."

"Baby, you're such a good boy. I love you too! I will love you for eternity!" Karen Joy squeezed Larry into her arms and gave him a kiss in return. He took the opportunity to snuggle up against her.

As Lawrie was left out, he felt like he had to do something too. So he pushed his beloved toy over and said, "Aunt Karen Joy, this is a toy for the baby."

"Aww, you prepared a gift for her too. Let me see what it is." Karen Joy let go of Larry, put Lawrie on her lap and sat down. She peeled off Lawrie's gift. "You wrapped it so well. What could it be?"

Because Larry gave the baby a car, Lawrie did not intend to present her the same thing, so he had asked his mother to bring him to buy a toy meant for girls. There was a beautiful Barbie doll inside the exquisite package. "My mom said that the baby will be as beautiful as a Barbie doll, so I bought this doll for her."

"You're such a thoughtful one. She will definitely appreciate such a beautiful gift." Lawrie hadn't really liked talking to strangers previously, but now that he had spent the better part with his life with the Kyle family, he had completely integrated himself into the huge loving family. His personality was much more sunny and active. Seeing him like this, Karen Joy felt really happy from the bottom of her heart. Larry climbed onto Karen Joy's other leg and sat down. "Mom, do you think that the baby would like my gift?"

Karen Joy pinched their soft faces and assured, "Of course. These gifts were carefully prepared by you two, her loving cousins. She can feel your sincerity from it, so she will definitely love them."
