The Unwilling CEO's Love Game novel Chapter 221

Jocelyn patiently warmed the bottle, tested the temperature against her wrist, and only then did she gently lift the baby boy into her arms, feeding the milk to little Euston's lips.

With the milk flowing, Euston's cries subsided.

His beautiful eyes were glistening with tears. The sound of him swallowing made him all the more endearing.

Seeing the baby quieted, Jocelyn finally felt a wave of calm wash over her.

"You and Melvin..." Daisy suddenly choked up, "if you two really have thought it through and want to spend your lives together, then you should."

Jocelyn was taken aback. She looked at her mother, noticing for the first time the redness around her eyes.

Gazing at the child, Daisy said, "All we ever wanted was for you to marry a man who makes you happy. If you two truly love each other, we can't stand in your way."

"Jocelyn, your life is your own journey. Your father and I will grow old and pass away. You're still young, and only a husband will be there to support you in the end."

Wiping her tears, Daisy added, "You're our only child, and we just want you to be well."

Jocelyn always knew what her mother feared. She couldn't bear to see her mother's heartbreak. Moved as she was, she hesitated before making her confession.

"Mom, Dad, this isn't my child," Jocelyn apologized, "I'm sorry for not telling you earlier."

Daisy was stunned, turning to look at Calvin.

Calvin was equally surprised, "Not your child? Then whose is it?"

"A friend's," Jocelyn explained from start to finish.

Drying her tears, Daisy asked, "Does Melvin know?"

Jocelyn shook her head, "He doesn't. He thinks Euston is mine and Castiel's child."

"He cares Euston so much even though he thinks it’s another man's child?" Daisy couldn't believe it.

Jocelyn didn't know how to respond.

Calvin sighed, "It's clear he still has feelings for you."

Jocelyn couldn't deny it.

"And you, do you...?" Daisy frowned, her question hanging in the air, but the implication was clear.

"I don't want to think about all that right now." Having fed Euston, Jocelyn carried him around the living room, "Let's just see what happens."

Seeing her daughter so detached, Daisy felt a pang in her heart.

She looked at her husband, her eyes filled with sorrow and regret.

After clearing the air with her parents, the weight on Jocelyn's shoulders finally lifted.

Daisy still adored Euston, and even if the baby truly were Jocelyn and Melvin's, she wouldn't have the heart to turn him away.

While Jocelyn stepped out to use the restroom, Daisy confided in Calvin, "To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed to learn he's not really their child."

Calvin understood his wife's feelings, gazed at the sleeping baby and sighed, "But he isn't our kin, after all."

As evening approached, Quinta and her parents arrived.

Upon seeing the extra child in the house, Jocelyn explained that she was looking after a friend's baby who had to travel for a while.

Quinta loved children so much that she took Euston into her arms and wouldn't let go.

If Quinta's own child had lived, they would have been older than Euston.

Watching Quinta's tender embrace, Aunt Mae's eyes welled up with tears.

Every parent dreams of their child's happiness and success.

After her experience with Damian, Quinta might still harbor hopes for marriage. But she'd likely not rush into it again.
