Chapter 1666
"Lionel, after Silvia leaves the hospital, why don't we take Larry out on a trip instead of returning to Chatterton Town?" Karen Joy raised her head. "We haven't seen Jackie and Serene for so long. Shall we go visit their family?"
"Alright." Previously, when Jackie mentioned Serene, Lionel also had this thought. Now that Karen Joy had brought it up, the timing was just right. It would be nice for the two families to meet each other and catch up.
Karen Joy smiled and said, "It's a deal. However, don't tell Jackie and the others first, I want to give them a surprise."
"Okay, it's all up to you." Lionel smiled and bowed his head to kiss Karen Joy gently. Right as he kissed her, Larry, who was between them, suddenly stretched his body and said, "Mom and Dad, you can't kiss in front of children."
"You little one!" They kissed his cheek at the same time. "What about kisses like these?"
Larry was so happy that he squirmed in his parents' arms. "No matter when or where we are, you can always kiss me. I'll gladly go along with it."
Larry's clever words made his parents laugh. The two of them kissed his cheeks again. Such an adorable child, they thought. No kisses would be enough for him.
In the hospital.
The rain continued to fall.
Jayden closed the window and returned to the room. Silvia, who had been talking to him earlier on, had fallen asleep. He sat down beside her and gently stroked her head. "Sleep well. Once you have enough sleep, we'll have another check- up. If nothing's wrong, then we can bring our baby back home."
He pulled the quilt up to cover her. However, just as he was about to draw his hand back, Silvia suddenly reached out to hug him. "Jayden, can't you see that I'm pretending to be asleep?" "You're already a mother, yet you're still so childish?" Jayden did not mind Silvia's childishness and was merely teasing her.
"That just means you have two daughters to take care of now." Silvia poked him in the chest and said, "Daddy, other than being fussy during eating, our baby does nothing but sleep. Do you think there is something wrong with her?"
Jayden poked her head and replied, "Silvia, what have you been thinking all day long? The doctor said that a newborn baby grows up while sleeping. If she doesn't sleep well, you should feel anxious then." "I know but I also want to talk to the baby. I don't want it to stay like this, it feels like she doesn't need her mother." Silvia stared at the baby lying next to her. If it weren't for the baby falling asleep, she would have held her in her arms to grow closer to the baby.
"Who says that she doesn't need her mother anymore?" Jayden patted the baby, and then looked at Silvia, who looked depressed. "When you went to the bathroom and left even for a little while, the baby, who was sleeping soundly, would wake up. Only when you returned to her side and lied down again did she fall asleep."
"Really? Did the baby really cling to me that much? Why couldn't I have known?" Silvia enjoyed her baby's dependence on her, but the baby was still too young. She hadn't even called her 'mother' yet and she felt anxious already.
All mothers loved their babies, but Silvia's love was a bit too much. These days, she only had eyes for her baby and basically ignored everyone else, including Jayden.
Every time Jayden thought of this, he would feel somewhat jealous, but he couldn't do anything to Silvia. How could he tell her that he was jealous of their newly-born daughter?
He had to keep his bitter feelings in his heart and said exasperatedly, "Whenever you have time, you just stare at the baby in a daze, almost like you've gone dumb. What else have you noticed about the baby?"
"As people would say, when a woman gives birth to a child, she will become stupid. I guess that I've become like that too. But no matter what I become, Jayden, you are not allowed to dislike me. Otherwise, this child and I will have nothing to do with you." In the past, when there was only Silvia around, she could already order him whole. Currently, with their daughter around, Silvia seemed to be able to see Jayden's future as a 'slave' for them. Thinking about it, she still felt a little sorry for him. "But as long as you love us, we will love you. Don't be afraid of change."
Jayden shook his head helplessly and said, "Yes, my dear wife! I will love you and the baby well, and try to make you two love me and not dislike me."
"That's right." Silvia pinched his chin, which pricked her finger a little because of the fresh stubble. "Do you want to try growing a beard so you look more mature, and more like an upgraded version of a father?' Jayden stayed silent.
Was he not a father if he didn't grow a beard? He wondered.
Silvia teased him, "Daddy, do you agree?"
Jayden retorted, "Stop fooling around!"
At this moment, he said that she was being ridiculous. However, Silvia noticed him growing a beard at a later time.
When Silvia saw Jayden's mustache, she started to grow restless. In the past, when Jayden did not have a beard, she already thought that he was very manly. She did not expect that he would be even sexier after growing one, so sexy that she wanted to slam him to the floor.
Silvia pouted and started a new topic. "Daddy, have you decided on a name?"
No matter what Silvia said, Jayden was a man of patience. "We thought of several names together before and I felt that each name was very meaningful. I really didn't know which name to choose, so I'll just wait for you to decide."
"Then, let me think about it again. Which name is the best?" Silvia asked Jayden to take out her mobile phone. Looking at the several names in the document, she immediately saw the one she was the most satisfied with. She pointed at it and said, "I choose 'Candice'."
"Candice Kyle?" Jayden also particularly liked this name. Silvia choosing it too surprised him. "Why did you choose this name out of all the other ones?"
Silvia said gently, "Her name will be Candice Kyle, while her nickname would be Candy. She would be our sweet little Candy. I also hope that Candy will grow up happy to become a kind, persevering person. I hope that she'll always be as sweet as honey all the time."
"Candice, did you hear that? Mom has given you a proper name. From now on, you'll be Mom and Dad's little Candy." Jayden poked his daughter's face gently. "Candy, you have to obey your Mom. You can't make her angry, you understand?"
"Candy is so obedient, she definitely won't make me angry. Oh, my little Candy." Jayden only gave a casual remark and Silvia had already acted like a mother hen, being protective of Candy.
