Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 5074

Just then, over on another end.

Ambrose and Neil quickly returned to the abandoned island with the baby.

Dawn had broken then, and the child had woken up. He opened his eyes, blinking curiously at the two men.

At the sight, Neil could not help but chuckle. He stretched out a finger to gently stroke the baby's chin. "You know what, he's pretty cute."

To tell the truth, Neil had planned to be wary as this was the enemy's child. Yet the baby was too cute, and he could not bring himself to be cold.

Ambrose frowned as well. Neil didn't know if they would bring Heather forward for the swap, so why did he look so happy?

Just then, the child's gaze turned onto Ambrose before beginning to chuckle as well. He flailed his limbs about with mirth, not unlike a child who had just seen family.

The baby shared a father with Ambrose, which would make Ambrose his brother. Although neither of them knew then, blood was still thicker than water, and the familiar bond could be felt even upon first meeting.

At the sight, Neil wondered curiously to himself, 'Why isn't the child afraid of strangers?'

"Dude, do you think you're related? Look at how he's smiling at you."

As he spoke, Neil burst into laughter.

He could tell that Ambrose was plenty anxious then and was trying to liven the mood.

"Shut up, man…"

At the words, Ambrose was torn between amusement and frustration as he said impatiently, "Stop with that nonsense. He's the child of a pirate leader. How could I be related to him?"

As he spoke, Ambrose's annoyance grew, and he passed the baby over to Neil. "Here, you hold him for a while. I'm going to see if anyone's coming over from Dragon King Island."

"Waaah…"
