Chapter 465
After Sherri had fallen asleep. Juana, Joy, and Hackett went to Natalie’s ward.
The door was gently pushed open and the three entered together. Meanwhile, they tiptoed as though they were burglars..
As soon as they entered, they bumped into Rachel, who were about to leave. Rachel nodded at the them and said to Joy, “Congratulations.
Joy held Rachel’s hand and said softly. “Congratulations to you too. Are you heading out now?”
Because Natalie was already asleep, Rachel said softly, “I’ll go home and make some creamy potato soup for her.”
Hackett, who was following behind, greeted Rachel as well..
“Why didn’t you arrange for postpartum meals? Sherri doesn’t like to eat those. I guess you will have to make some creamy potato soup for your two Little Princesses as well.
Rachel had exclusively tasked the two maids with looking after the children, without any request for them to prepare postpartum meals. This decision was made in light of the fact that all arrangements had been tailored to meet Natalie’s preferences.
Nevertheless, Rachel assumed responsibility for the postpartum needs, making dietary adjustments as necessary.
Walking into the living room, she saw the two little ones happily playing on the couch. Hackett said, “You shouldn’t bully Ruby, alright?
Jasper responded casually, “Hmm.”
Joy gently patted her son’s arm and said, “You’re a good kid, but you talk too much.”
Accompanied by Joy and Juana, Rachel entered the baby’s room. Since Hackett had already met the two Little Princesses, he took a seat on the couch with them to engage in play.
With Natalie now asleep, Trevon found himself with some free time. Spotting Hackett’s arrival, he approached and took a seat beside Jasper, wearing a smile as he remarked, “It looks like your daughter has taken a liking to my son.”
Hackett said protectively, “You’re overthinking it. Don’t even think about making a move on my little darling.”
Trevon struck back by saying, “I have two little darlings.”
Hackett pondered the unfairness of life, questioning how a man like Trevon would be blessed with two daughters.
Seeing Hackett’s defeat, Trevon basked in his own victory. With great pleasure, he said, “If your daughter really likes my son, I wouldn’t mind accepting him. Your daughter is more likable than you, anyway.
“Don’t get ahead of yourself. Dream on!” Hackett retorted in frustration.
As Hackett seethed with anger, Trevon’s smile grew even wider.
In the baby’s room, Joy could not stop praising when she saw the two identical little ones, “Rachel, you are truly blessed. These two kids are so precious, and they look so much like Trevon.”
Rachel looked at the two little ones, who were peacefully asleep. At times, their lips would twitch, and their eyes would be half–open, indicating their contentment. “They resemble Trevon more, but their mouths are like Natalie’s.”
Juana, a chatty person, had watched Natalie grow up since childhood. Now, seeing Natalie in such a joyful and loving home. she felt a sense of happiness too. “Natalie has faced challenges from a young age. It appears that fate is just, and she’s finally finding the happiness she’s earned.”
Rachel grasped the meaning behind Juana’s words but decided to remain silent, offering only a subtle smile. Once the group had visited the children, they departed quietly. Meanwhile, the maids within the room remained an unseen presence, watching but not intervening.
Outside the room, Joy told her son, “Let’s go home and make creamy potato soup. You keep an eye on Sherri, eh? If she isn’t taken care of properly, you’ll see me unleash my wrath”
Hackett replied, “Alright, you should hurry and leave; otherwise, Sherri won’t get to have creamy potato soup.”
After the trio had departed, Hackett began to suspect that Trevon might have hidden intentions concerning his daughter. To alleviate his worries, he persuaded Ruby to return home with him by explaining that her younger brother was searching for
her.
It was highly unlikely that a newborn baby who had only arrived a few days ago would be searching for Ruby, but Hackett devised this explanation nonetheless,
Then, Natalie stayed in the hospital for several days, and Sherri also stayed a few extra days, just to be together with her best friend. Meanwhile, visitors from the two wards could visit each other.
If Natalie and Sherri went through their postpartum recovery separately, they would not be able to see each other for two
