Hence, Cormac could only sit down on the sofa and watch him.
Maxina put the folded clothes on the sofa and asked, “Cormac, you came back so early to see your son, didn’t you?”
Cormac answered, “Back then, after knowing Amanda and Andrew were my children, I was extremely excited. However, I’m still quite excited now.”
This tiny little baby was his son.
After the baby was born, the doctor told them that it was sent to the neonatal department. Cormac changed into a clean gown and followed the doctor to see the baby – it was lying in an incubator, as tiny as a big mouse. It had bruises all over. The medical monitoring equipment was monitoring her vital signs. It was truly a miracle for him to survive and recover so soon.
Cormac had to praise the wonder of life.
He didn’t believe in God, Buddha, or Jesus. Nor did he believe in anyone that appeared because he wanted to have someone to rely on mentally.
However, when seeing his baby, he was quite grateful to God for sending his baby into this world.
If the baby had died, he would blame himself and suffer for his whole life.
He had signed the agreement at a critical moment.
“Where is Lola?”
He hadn’t seen Loredana after coming home.
“She has gone to see Theresa.” As she spoke, Maxina heaved a sigh. She just thought that Theresa was way too unlucky and pitiful. “Look! He’s smiling,” said Jayden.
The baby still closed his eyes. He was sleeping, but just now, Jayden saw him smiling.
Coral trotted over to take a look.
Right now, the baby’s lips had already flatted down. Coral was about to question. Then, she saw the baby parted his lips and smiled for real. “Oops! He’s so adorable. I wonder what he’s dreaming about now as he’s smiling so happily. Have you dreamed about your wife, little fellow?” Maxina picked up the pile of folded clothes and was about to put them upstairs. She laughed and said, “He’s so little now.”
“In twenty years, he’ll be a handsome boy. He must have a girlfriend,” said Coral.
Maxina laughed and thought that Coral had thought too much.
Right then, Coral heaved a sigh and added, “I wonder if I could still see the scene at that time.”
Maxina said, “You can live to a hundred-year-old.”
Coral smiled.
In the evening, Andrea and Amanda came home after school. Hence, Amanda occupied her younger brother. She lay prone on the edge of the bed. Poking his little cheeks and rubbing his head from time to time.
She said, “This is my younger brother.”
Andrew had been used to it, so he was pretty calm. Sitting next to Cormac and holding his arms across his chest, he asked, “Dad, how do you feel after becoming a father?”
Cormac answered calmly, “It’s not my first time to be a father. I’ve been used to it.”
“How do you feel after becoming an older brother?” he added.
Andrew answered calmly, “It’s not my first time to be an older brother. I’ve been used to it.”
Cormac choked up.
In the evening, Loredana didn’t come back for dinner. The kids worked on their homework while Jayden was watching them.
Coral wanted to hold the baby, so Maxina did the dishes.
The baby was taking the formula milk. His small lips tightly wrapped around the pacifier, sucking very hard. Soon, he finished drinking twenty milliliters up.
Coral put down the milk bottle and wiped his lips for him. The baby was awake just now. After drinking the milk, he fell asleep again.
“Gee… You are like a piglet. After eating, you just sleep.”
Maxina walked over to get the empty mike bottle. She would clean it before putting it into the disinfection cabinet. Upon hearing Coral’s words, she said, “He’s just a little baby, so he can only sleep and eat. He will grow fast in this way.”
Coral smiled. “Who does this baby look like?”
“He followed Cormac,” said Maxina.
Coral said, “He looks like Mrs. Mendelsohn. It’s said that if a son looks like his mother, he’ll be quite lucky.”
“He’s already quite lucky no matter who he follows. Our whole family is serving him now. Besides, he’ll be quite handsome as he looks like Cormac.” With a smile, Maxina looked at the baby in Coral’s arms. Usually, a mother-in-law would like her son-in-law more and more. Maxina wasn’t an exception. In her opinion, Cormac was perfect.
“Jesus. Ms. Lennon, I can’t believe you said that. Do you dislike Mrs. Mendelsohn for she’s not so good-looking as Mr. Mendelsohn?” Coral looked at her and couldn’t believe that she disdained her own daughter. Maxina, however, didn’t disdain Loredana. She just thought that it was a baby boy. If he looked like Loredana, he would be quite girlish. Hence, she thought it was better for the baby to follow Cormac’s appearance – good-looking and manly.
“No matter who he looks like in the future, he wouldn’t be ugly,” said Coral.
Jessie agreed with a smile, taking the milk bottle away.
In the evening, Loredana would take care of the baby herself. Maxina offered help, but Loredana insisted on taking care of the baby for a while.
When it was bedtime, Coral carried the baby upstairs.
Cormac was alone in the bedroom. He had taken a shower and put on the pajamas. He planned to read some documents next to the window.
He was sitting with his legs crossed elegantly. Half of his handsome face was in the shadow, and the other hand under the light, which showed his sharp outline.
Coral put the baby into the baby’s cot and whispered, “Mrs. Mendelsohn hasn’t come back yet.”
“She’ll be back later,” Loredana called Cormac earlier and told him that she would accompany Theresa longer as no one was taking care of her.
Coral walked out of the bedroom and closed the door.
A while later, the baby started crying in the baby’s cot suddenly.000000
Cormac walked over and held him in his arms. His posture was awkward and unskillful.
He seldom had chances to hold the baby after it came back, so he was quite inexperienced.
He patted and swayed the baby gently, but the baby wasn’t calmed down. Instead, it cried more and more fiercely.
“Wah… Wah…”
Cormac wondered if the baby was hungry. He put it down and was about to make the formula milk. Right then, Coral came back. Seeing the baby weeping so hard, she asked, “What happened?” Cormac said, “Probably he’s hungry…”
“He has just had some milk before sleeping. I don’t think he’s hungry.” Coral held the weeping baby in her arms.
Cormac made the formula milk and passed it to the baby, but he refused to take it.
