This was indeed something that John would do.
Everyone got into the car with the driver, and John held the baby steady. The baby had been sleeping all along with
his eyes closed, looking a little silly. John couldn’t hold back and bowed his head to kiss the baby.
Matilda smiled next to him. “You are behaving better than your dad. When I gave birth to you, your dad didn’t even
dare to touch you. During the whole month, your dad never held you, saying that you were too soft, and he feared
hurting you.”
Sophia couldn’t help laughing at the side. “I didn’t know that Dad is so cowardly when it comes to this.”
“Right?” Matilda continued, “You see, since this little boy right here was born, we’ve all taken turns holding him, but
your dad still doesn’t dare to touch him. He asked me last night what it’s like to hold a baby, so I told him to try
holding the baby today, but he didn’t dare at all.”
Sophia thought of when William was in the ward. Indeed, he only walked around the crib all the time and didn’t dare

After thinking about it, Sophia said, “I saw Uncle Owen holding the baby the other day, and I felt that he was quite
good at it.”
Matilda nodded. “Owen was very good to children back then. When Dylan was young, he took him wherever he
went.”
Hearing this, John also spoke up. “Yeah, I used to envy Dylan very much and thought that Uncle Owen was very
good to him.”
When Matilda heard John’s words, she wanted to put in a good word for William. “Your dad is good to you too, but
he is not very good at expressing it. In the past, when you were asleep, your dad watched over you by the side. He
could sit there and watch you sleep for more than an hour
” John chuckled. “What are you so nervous about? I just agreed with what you said and never said that my dad
wasn’t good to me.” Matilda nodded. “I’m just siding with my husband.” With that said, the others somehow felt
that she was showing off her love for William. The car drove all the way back to the Constance Residence, and Old
Mrs. Constance was already waiting in the parking lot. After the car stopped, she hurried over. She first asked if
Sophia was alright, then went over to John and stared at the baby in his arms. The baby twisted his body, and upon
hearing the noises, opened his eyes. Old Mrs. Constance laughed. “Oh, he knows he’s home.” The postnatal
caregiver came over too and helped Sophia. But Sophia did not want her help. Waving her hand, she said, “No
need. I’m fine.” With that, she strode to the main building first. The postnatal caregiver thought for a while before
carrying the baby and following her into the main building. There was a baby crib in the living room on the first floor
of the main building, which was convenient for the baby during the day. There was also a nursery room upstairs.
Now that the baby was awake, the postnatal caregiver put him in the crib and lifted the quilt a little bit. The baby
immediately stretched out his legs and waved his hands. The postnatal caregiver laughed and massaged his soles
with her fingers. “This little boy is quite vigorous.

See how powerful his kicks are.” Old Mrs. Constance was also watching by the side, her eyes full of contentment
and joy. At this moment, she said, “In fact, I had a dream before Sophia gave birth. I dreamed that there was a
dragon above the main building of the Constance Residence. Now look, Sophia gave birth to a boy.” John laughed.
“Why didn’t I have any dreams?” Sophia leaned on the sofa. “I had a dream a few days ago. I dreamed that there
were two fish in the pond. I thought I would give birth to twins.” “That really was a dream then,” Matilda
commented from the side, causing everyone to laugh. After the postnatal caregiver massaged the baby’s hands
and feet, she went to the kitchen and poured a bowl of soup for Sophia. This soup had been stewed since the
morning, so it was rich. The grease had been removed, so it was not greasy. Sophia held the bowl and looked at it
for a long time. Then, as if drinking medicine, she raised the bowl and finished the soup in a few mouthfuls. The
postnatal caregiver laughed. “It’s not that bad, is it? I tasted it, and it’s okay.” Sophia waved a hand. “I’ve eaten too
many supplements since my pregnancy, so much so that I think I’m allergic to fish and meat now.”
