Selina went back to the Whitlock family home.
As her wedding day approached, Selina could not suppress the anticipation she felt. Her heart was bursting with happiness.
She wanted to find someone to share her happiness with.
And the person she'd naturally thought of was Natalie.
Although Natalie was still in her confinement period, they could chat for a while. It just so happened that Natalie was bored and needed someone to chat with her.
fhe two of them got along instantly.
When Selina arrived at the Whitlock family, she heard a cry coming from the living room.
As she entered the living room, she saw Cecilia cuddling and comforting the crying baby.
Selina walked over.
"Why is he crying? " Selina asked.
When the baby was just born, his face was wrinkled like a little old man. Now, his skin was as smooth as a freshly peeled egg with big shiny eyes and ruby lips. His good looks could melt the hardest of hearts.
The baby looked adorable even when he was crying, with his little scrunched- up face.
"Children are like this. No one knows when or why they cry," Cecilia answered. "Natalie is upstairs. Go and keep her company."
"Mom, I'll help you with the baby, and I'll accompany Natalie later," Selina replied without hesitation.
After all, the baby was still crying.
Cecilia glanced at Selina. "Forget it. You're just a little girl. Go up and accompany Natalie, don't create more trouble for me. I can handle him by myself."
Selina was speechless.
She just wanted to offer her help but Cecilia did not appreciate it. Selina gave up with a sigh.
"Alright then, I'm going up."
"Go, go, go."
Selina went upstairs and entered Natalie's room.
Natalie was resting in bed.
"Hey, Natalie." Selina called out.
Natalie looked at Selina and chuckled, "Selina, you're here."
Selina sat down beside her. ''When I came here just now, the baby was crying. I tried to help Mother comfort the baby, but she insisted that I accompany you immediately. Natalie, I think my mother loves you more than me."
Natalie looked resigned but happy.
"Mom dotes on me too much." Natalie continued, "I feel like her love has filled me with the maternal affection I had been craving since childhood."
Although Cecilia was just her mother-in-law, she treated her better than Natalie's own biological mother.
"I also heard the baby crying. Initially I wanted to get up and console him, but Mom wouldn't let me. She is determined to make sure I rest all day in bed." Natalie's face flashed a trace of helplessness. "Recently I feel like I'm being overprotected, like an endangered species."
Selina laughed out loud. "Are you, Natalie? You are now an endangered species of the Whitlock family, more specifically under the care of my mother and Tobias!"
Natalie groaned jokingly, but her eyes were shining with happiness.
Selina assured her, "My mom said that it's normal for a baby to cry. Besides, she'd brought up two excellent children and there are so many servants to help out as well. Don't worry about anything else and have a good rest during your confinement."
Natalie nodded. "I know. I am not worried."
"That's good." Then, Selina suddenly asked, "By the way, have both of you decided on the baby's name?"
Natalie shook her head and admitted, "Not yet. Grandpa regretted not choosing Hayden's name. So, he wants to carefully consider the name of this one."
Selina burst into laughter. "Grandpa is such a character. Natalie, don't mind him."
"I didn't." Natalie's face was very gentle. "I can see where he is coming from."
"Alright then."
"If I remember correctly, you are going to get your marriage certificate with Matthew the day after tomorrow?" Natalie looked at Selina.
