After a long while, the handymen began speaking one after another—“Xyla is truly impressive. Stanley doesn’t even dare to argue with her.”“Haha! No matter how tough he is to others, he still has to obey his wife when he’s home. What a great man.”“It must be hard for Stanley when his wife has such a dominant personality.”“Xyla is the only person who can overpower Stanley.”“Of course. Have you seen Stanley surrendering to anyone except for Xyla?”Everyone nodded in agreement.The atmosphere felt very tense in the nursery. Even the nannies didn't dare make a sound.Meanwhile, Lynette Batton started crying even more loudly when she realized she wasn’t getting what she wanted.Stanley Batton’s heart hurt even more at the sound of her cries.He couldn’t bear it anymore, so he handed his daughter over to Xyla and turned around to leave.He was a rational thinking man, but there were some emotions even he couldn’t control.He knew how to handle other people and issues, but he

Rachel Wood’s belly had grown significantly by then since she was now six months along in her pregnancy. She could no longer hide it.Despite her extended belly, she hadn’t gained any weight so far during her pregnancy, so she still looked like a young woman.No one would believe she was pregnant if they didn’t see her belly.Due to her pregnancy, Rachel appeared unusually delicate and demure, with a maternal aura around her.Sebastian Brenand had no intention to let his parents know about her pregnancy before the baby was born. However, what happened today was a complete surprise.He was not at home when they came over unannounced, leaving Rachel and a group of bodyguards to be ambushed.Upon arrival, they had threatened to commit suicide, making everyone frantic and left with no choice but to let them in.Sebastian regretted leaving home today at the thought.Presently, his parents were looking at Rachel’s stomach with grim expressions.“You’ve been sitting there all this ti

Rachel Wood chuckled. “They are your parents, after all. What if they died in front of our house? How could I let that happen?“I may not like them, and I even considered ignoring them, but I wouldn't wish death on anyone,” she added.Sebastian Brenand felt his heart soften at her words.He let out a bitter laugh as he ran his fingers through her hair affectionately. “You, my dear, are an idiot. You are the biggest and kindest idiot in the world.“My parents would never kill themselves! They were only trying to scare you. They are rich and powerful people. Do you really think they would give up all that?” he asked with a snort.Her brows furrowed together. “What if they did? We should always expect the worst because I can’t bear that responsibility.”“I would never let you bear any responsibility even if it did happen,” Sebastian told her with a soft smile. “Even so, I don’t want to cause anyone’s death,” Rachel insisted.He gently caressed her face. “If this happened to other

Sebastian Brenand and Rachel Wood had been interacting with the baby in her belly, enjoying the peaceful moment together as a family.Meanwhile, his parents were fuming once they arrived home, lamenting that their son was increasingly stubborn.They knew very well that they had thoroughly lost him.His father sat down and clenched his fists tightly before yelling at his wife. “It’s your wonderful idea that caused us to lose our son completely.”“Hey, didn’t you agree to my suggestion of sending that girl to the mountains? Why are you blaming it on me now? Are you even a man?” she retorted in a furious fit.She was unhappy to fail at too many attempts to win her son back lately. Her husband naturally became a target for her to vent out her frustrations now that he suddenly provoked her.At that moment, he was also furious and got even more upset when he heard what she said.He promptly lashed out at her. “Can you stop yapping so much? Yes, I agreed to your suggestion, but you wer

Sebastian Brenand felt relieved when Rachel Wood woke up to his hand clasping hers tightly.“How do you feel? Are you dizzy? Are you tired? Does your stomach still hurt?” he voiced several questions at once with a worried look.Rachel felt touched by her husband's concern.Someone once told her that she would see her partner’s true colors once she became pregnant.True enough, she remembered everything Sebastian did for her throughout her pregnancy up until now. His care and concern for her proved to be his utmost priority, that much was apparent to her.Even now, he remained by her side the entire time when everyone else attended to the baby after the birth.Rachel was still more important to him between his wife and their daughter.She couldn’t help but tear up at the thought.“What’s the matter, hmm? Do you feel uncomfortable?” he asked in a frantic tone when he saw her tearing up, appearing a little restless. “Does it hurt? Tell me, Darling.”Without waiting for a reply, h
