Ch. 2281..2290

Chapter 2281 Chapter 2281 The mood in the ward suddenly became tense after the family discussion. They might have a solution for now, but it was still unsettling to know the baby had this particular blood type. "All right, let's not talk about this," Henry Armstrong's mother said. "What's the child's name? Have you thought of one?"

"I have a decent name in mind," her husband told them, drawing the younger couple's curious gazes.

Henry and Georgie Clementine had come up with the baby's name long ago, but they still wanted to hear his suggestion if he had one.

It would be meaningful to use his suggested name if they all liked it. He would surely be happy with that.

"What do you think about the name Landon Armstrong?"

"Not bad," Henry's mother said thoughtfully. "If they have a daughter in the future, we can call her Melinda. Landon and Melinda are such beautiful names."

Georgie and Henry both liked the name more than their initial choice.

"Okay, I like it. Let's go with Landon," Georgie instantly said after hearing the suggestion.

Her husband nodded, too. "I agree, but forget about having a granddaughter. We aren't planning to have any more children."

"Why?" his mother instantly questioned.

"I don't want my wife to go through such pain again," he answered truthfully. "I don't want her to experience the same thing twice."

She was never against having a second child before this but now found herself resisting the idea after suffering through the labor pain once.

She was already planning to break the news to her husband after some time. She intended to stand by her decision not to have another child.

To her surprise, Henry had the same idea and turned his parents down before she could say anything.

She never expected this and genuinely felt touched.

There was nothing else she would ever need if she had him by her side.

A man would only say such things if he truly loved a woman from the bottom of his heart.

His parents nodded their understanding upon hearing his words.

"Okay, that's up to you both. We don't to get involved," his mod him. "You can decide if you want to have more children. It's fine either way."

His father also agreed with her.

Georgie felt relieved at how open-minded they were.

Her parents arrived in her ward in the afternoon, with the initial intention to stay in town to look after her.

However, the Armstrong family did such a good job that they changed their minds.

They stayed to take care of their daughter for an entire night before boarding a flight home, leaving her in the capable hands of the Armstrongs.

She was constantly in a terrific mood under their attentive care.

Soon enough, she'd spent an entire month in the hospital without realizing it.

During that month, her husband, his mother, and their hired nannies stayed by her side.

These nannies were hired to look after the baby, but since he was still in the incubator and under the hospital's care, they ended up looking after her the entire time.

She had been treated like a princess the entire month, ensuring that no harm ever came her way.

Chapter 2282 Chapter 2282 Everyone in the hospital knew that the Armstrong family treated Georgie Clementine like a queen.

There wasn't a pregnant woman in the obstetrics ward who wasn't envious of her.

That day, Landon Armstrong went through a thorough checkup before doctors deemed him fit to be discharged. The Armstrong family then brought him and Georgie back to the family's house. The family had unanimously decided that she would complete the rest of her postpartum recovery at her in-laws' home.

Henry Armstrong carried his wife inside while his mother held Landon in her arms behind them upon arrival.

The baby boy was small and soft, with a unique scent that only babies seemed to have.

His grandmother felt her heart turn to mush for him and was even willing to die for the child.

She even grew fonder of Georgie as a result of her newborn grandson.

Henry carefully lowered his wife to the couch as his mother brought Landon over to sit beside her while they waited for the maids to bring his nannies upstairs to set up the nursery. Henry's father took a seat next to his wife and eagerly took Landon from her, feeling his considerable weight gain after spending a month in an incubator.

Even his flawless facial features became more distinctive.

At first glance, it appeared as if Landon inherited a combination of most of his parents' great facial features, further enchanting his grandparents as they admired his good looks. "Oh, look at Landon.," his grandfather cooed. "He is so adorable! How could he be so precious, hmm?

"Landon, this is your grandparent's for coming month. Do you be the is where you will be living Ell's Ouare it here, hmm? Tell Grandpa, will you?"

He sounded so gentle when he spoke to the baby, almost childlike.

He didn't seem like his usual, intimidating self in front of outsiders as he was practically fooling around with his grandson.

Beside him, his wife couldn't resist doing the same as she gently pinched his hand and beamed at hmm? Surely you do, rightye.net him. Yes, Landon, do you like it here, Content The baby merely laid quietly and didn't respond at all, his large blue eyes darting left and right as if he was taking everything in.

His eyes were as blue as the sky and as clear as a stream, making the older couple fall in love with him even more.

His parents could not resist looking and smiling at each other when they saw how adorable they were.

They had gotten used to this as they frequently saw Henry's parents acting this way in the hospital.

"He should be quite happy. He is neither crying nor making a fuss," Georgie commented with an affectionate smile at Landon.

It was no wonder they liked Landon.

so much when he was so good-looking and obedient, never crying no matter what the doctors or nurses did to him in the hospital.

He remained smiling at any time, even if he was hungry or had soiled diapers.

He was like an adorable adult.

"This child must be an angel from above," his grandmother declared, unable to resist praising him.

"Exactly, he must be an angel," her husband echoed. "Our little angel. My life is more interesting now because of this child."

Chapter 2283 Chapter 2283 Henry Armstrong's father looked at Landon Armstrong affectionately.

Right then, Jenny Armstrong walked in from the outside, releasing a long, helpless sigh when she saw her parents' reaction.

Then, she quickly sat down next to her father and turned to address her brother and Georgie Clementine. "Hey Brother, hey Georgie. Sorry, I couldn't pick you up at the hospital, but something came up at school."

"Don't worry about it. We understand," Georgie replied with a chuckle. "Dad and Mom were there to pick us up."

Right then, Henry's parents had their full attention on Landon and continued to lavish their affections on him.

Jenny helplessly shook her head. "Human relationships are full of mystery. In the past, I wouldn't dare imagine you two being so good to my new nephew," she said playfully.

"What's the matter? Are you enjoying yourself a little too much now?" she added.

Her parents awkwardly coughed and exchanged glances. Neither of them spoke.

"Jenny, that's all in the past. We are a happy family now, so let's not bring up the unhappy stuff," Georgie said.

The past bad memories she thought she would never forget had faded over time. Now, she only had good things to say about this family.

Jenny smiled. "Georgie, you sure have a big heart. I don't think I could do it if I were you."

"Georgie has a big heart, unlike you," her mother stated.

"Is that your retaliation because I said something you didn't like earlier?" she asked directly, earning her an instant eye roll from her mother, who neither confirmed nor denied it.

She made a face at her before turning to gaze affectionately at Landon, who was in her father's arms.

Her nephew was smiling quietly at her, his large eyes returning her gaze while he showed his beautiful dimples.

Everyone was falling in love with him.

"Dad, let me hold Landon for a while, okay?" she asked, extending her hand to her father.

He nodded and reluctantly placed the baby in her arms gently.

Jenny held him carefully as she pressed her cheek softly against his.

His smile widened as he reached out to touch her face with his small, fair hands.

The soft sensation and slight milky scent melted her heart.

As his aunt, they were from the same bloodline. She had grown fond of him as if he was her child.

"Hey, look My grandson is smiling!

Why does he look so good when he smiles? The proud grandfathe couldn't stop smiling, his eyes never straying from Landon at all. FindNovel "He does! He even has dimples, long eyelashes, fair skin, and big round eyes. He has all the good qualities of our son and daughter-in-law Henry's mother praised.

They would never get tired of looking at their grandson, the best-looking baby in the world, in their opinions.

Later, she took her phone out and began taking pictures of which he looked adorable every angle. Content on el

Chapter 2284 Chapter 2284 It seemed as if Landon Armstrong could understand what was happening.

His grandmother kept making all sorts of funny faces as she took pictures, making everyone else laugh out loud.

"He is way too adorable!" Jenny Armstrong said. "How could such a perfect child exist? Mom, remember to send me the pictures. I want to show them off on my social media feed."

She used to get annoyed by people showing off their children's pictures in the past. She couldn't understand what they were thinking at the time. But since her nephew was born, she had turned into the very kind of person she disliked the most.

She would take pictures and publish them on social media whenever he was by her side, receiving many likes for her posts each time. Anyone who saw him would adore him, commenting how adorable and handsome he was and how much they all wanted to hug him.

Jenny found joy and pride in having such an adorable nephew.

"Me, too," Henry Armstrong and Georgie Clementine agreed simultaneously.

Henry's mother admired the pictures she took as she nodded silently, focusing on editing them without being distracted.

"Be careful, Jenny. Don't hurt my grandson," her father warned.

"You're speaking as if I am a terrible aunt, she said with a frown. "Of course, I will be careful."

"I'm glad you're aware. He is still small and requires careful protection," he went on.

She nodded absent-mindedly, already used to his nagging.

She wondered if he would ever get tired of repeating himself daily ever since Landon was born.

She certainly was getting bored as a listener.

། "Also, if you are free today, go buy some groceries for your sister-in-daw and nephew. I'll send you the sw novel?von grocery list on WeChat later," he told her.

"They will be staying with us for a month, as you already know. I hope you won't disturb Landon and Georgie while they rest during this period.

"And, don't upset them as they both need to rest and recuperate in peace, understand?" he went on.

Jenny listened and nodded slowly before returning Landon to her father. In that case, I'll head out right now. Send me the groc.net while I'm on my way."

list She then grabbed her phone and walked out the door, leaving the rest of the family to shift their attention back to Landon as they surrounded him.

swne They kept him entertained with funny faces and noises, making him very responsive as he laughed loudly at them.

His laughter resonated clearly through the living room, causing a lively and relaxing atmosphere at home.

Chapter 2285 Chapter 2285 At night, Xyla Quest, Stanley Batton, Josh Batton, Annabeth Cates, Rachel Wood, and Sebastian Brenand gathered at the Armstrong family's house to visit Georgie Clementine and the latest addition to the family.

Henry Armstrong's mother had prepared a feast for everyone, which they enjoyed immensely.

After dinner, everyone moved to the living room, where two tables had been set up for poker.

Xyla passed on poker in favor of heading up to the nursery, where she found Georgie observing while a few nannies fed bottled milk to Landon Armstrong.

The entire room had a light milky scent, one that instantly melted Xyla's heart whenever she smelled it.

Georgie was on her bed but quickly moved aside to pat the space next to her. "Here, have a seat."

Xyla smiled and sat down. "Are you bored during postpartum recovery?"

She instantly nodded in relief as if she'd finally met someone who understood her. "How could it not be boring? I'm practically dying of boredom over here.

"I hope the rest of the time is over soon so that I can get back to the office and work.

"You have no idea how much I miss the office. I worry the company can't cope without me and that you can't handle everything by yourself.

"To be honest, I should get back to my normal routine after a month, but Henry's parents won't allow it," she grumbled with a heavy sigh.

"I have to listen to them, don't I? After all, it is for my own good. I shouldn't upset my in-laws over something minor like this," she added.

Xyla nodded in understanding and smiled. "Yeah, stay at home and rest. Postpartum recovery is crucial for women.

"And, as for the company, I can deal with everything on my own even without you around. Don't worry."

She nodded helplessly. "What can do even if I can't stop worrying? km practically under house arrest, tam not allowed to read anything or even worry."

Georgie felt both sad and happy at the same time as she spoke.

"Good in-laws are like that," Xyla chuckled. "Honestly, I never thought you guys would get along one day."

She always thought their animosity would never dissipate. At best, they would treat each other respectfully but at arm's length.

It would be chaotic if they never got along.

The sudden change in her in-laws' attitude was surprising.

Georgie laughed after hearing this. "Exactly. I didn't expect this would happen either. We are pretty good now, and I'm honestly grateful for everything they have done for me. I will surely repay their kindness in the future."

"Yeah, I'm glad to see that you're happy, Georgie."

Xyla felt happiest when people around her were happy. There was a feeling of satisfaction knowing that.

Georgie chuckled. "I'm glad to see you happy. too."

Xyla's smile gradually widened.

"Is the company doing well recently? Is there anything I can do? You have to deal with everything in X Entertainment and Quest Group net` There must be countless issues to handle. I'll bet you must be feeling suffocated."

Georgie felt very sorry for her friend then and could only hope for time to pass by swiftly so that she could return to the company to help her out.

Chapter 2286 Chapter 2286 Xyla Quest merely shrugged in nonchalance. "I am fine, honestly. Don't worry."

It was exhausting to work alone, but she would never show it in front of Georgie Clementine.

She finally realized how much she had relied on her friend for assistance on multiple things when she took over all the workload in X Entertainment.

Managing an entertainment company proved to be much more challenging than managing a real estate company.

Xyla felt even more grateful to her friend from the bottom of her heart.

Georgie naturally knew she was lying, but she didn't comment on it. Instead, she nodded and smiled. "Wait for me, and I'll be back very soon. It'll only be one more month, so hang in there."

"You make it sound as if I can't live without you," Xyla replied with a chuckle.

"All right, all right, you are a capable, strong woman, okay? Xyla is the best," Georgie grinned at her.

Xyla nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, that's more like it."

Then, she shifted her attention to Landon Armstrong, noticing that he had finished drinking his milk, so she instantly smiled as she addressed the nanny. "Could you please let me hold the baby for a while?"

Her voice was soft as usual.

The nanny quickly nodded before placing Landon into her outstretched arms carefully, both behaving as if they were exchanging a priceless treasure.

Landon began to smile sweetly in her arms, captivating her heart as she gazed down at him.

At that moment, a wonderful thought suddenly occurred to Xyla, prompting her to peer at Georgie. "I have a suggestion."

She could instantly tell that Landon inherited the best traits of both the Armstrong and the Clementine family's genes, with no doubts he would grow up to be a handsome man.

There wasn't a more suitable candidate for her future son-in-law.

She wanted to set this up now so that he could be her son-in-law once the timing was right.

Georgie nodded without hesitation idea how et at the suggestion. "That's a great idea. I would have suggested You have no idea how much Lynette."

Both of them were on the same page on the subject.

"It's been decided then."

Georgie nodded. "Don't worry, we'll treat your daughter right once shee becomes part of our family. We'll treat her like a princess. Coreet "Also, I will brainwash Landon so that he would pamper Lynette from a very young age."

Xyla agreed, so she nodded again.

"I feel happy just thinking about how we'll end up as one big family," Georgie added joyfully. Xyla smiled in response. "Yeah, me too."

Chapter 2287 Chapter 2287 Henry Armstrong opened the door and walked in right then, feeling curious when he saw Xyla Quest and Georgie Clementine in the middle of such a joyful conversation.

He quickly sat down next to his wife, wrapping his arms around her as he crossed his legs. "What are you two talking about, looking so happy?"

Then, he addressed Xyla directly. "I'm glad you came, Xyla. Georgie only seems to perk up when you're around."

Seeing his wife happy greatly improved his mood.

Xyla chuckled at his words. "We've decided that Lynette and Landon should be together once they are all grown up. What do you think about that, Henry?"

"Well, that would be wonderful," he answered without hesitation. "I must say that Landon is as lucky as his father. I can only describe Lynette as a perfect partner for my son. It would be our family's pride to have a future daughter-in-law like her."

He was very much on board with this decision.

"We have a deal, then," Xyla replied at once.

"Yeah, but you must not regret this," he said, nodding his head.

"Don't worry, I won't."

His smile widened at that.

"All right, I just came up to see my wife and son. I am content now that I have seen them both. I better get back downstairs to play poker," he said as he stood up.

His wife shook her head helplessly. "Must you exaggerate like that?"

"I couldn't help it, so what was I supposed to do? I was playing poker downstairs, but then I missed my wife and son, who were both upstairs. I just wanted to come up and check on them. Is that so wrong?" he asked with a grin.

Xyla felt like she was intruding on a moment of intimacy between the couple. Luckily, she wasn't envious since her relationship with Stanley Batton was similarly sweet.

She felt nothing but happiness for the two of them.

"Look at you. You're hopeless."

Georgie's affectionate tone betrayed her words as she wore an embarrassed expression on her face.

"Okay, I am going back downstairs to play poker. You two can continue chatting, Henry said with an affectionate pinch on her cheek before giving a parting look toward their friend.

"Xyla, spend some time chatting with Georgie so that she won't feel so bored. Thank you."

He then waved politely at her, prompting her to return the gesture.

"Don't worry, go ahead."

Xyla couldn't resist sighing as she watched him leave. "In the past bet never thought Henry could become such a great husband who adores his wife."

Georgie nodded in agreement. "Me neither. I always thought he was the kind of man who would never give up his freedom.

"When we first met, I didn't see a potential in him to become a good father or husband."

"Exactly," Xyla smiled.

Then, some of the nannies spoke up after hearing the topic of discussion.

"Ms. Clementine, Mr. Armstrong is very good to you. We are all envious of you."

"Exactly. I was chatting with my daughter on a video call yesterday. She nearly cried from envy when i told her how well your husband treats you."

"You are so lucky."

Chapter 2288 Chapter 2288 "Not only does Mr. Armstrong treat you well, but his parents do, too. The Armstrong family practically treats you like a princess."

"I think your in-laws treat you even better than their own daughter, Jenny Armstrong."

"Exactly. You're a winner in life, Ms. Clementine. We can only dream of being as lucky as you."

Georgie Clementine's smile widened upon hearing what the nannies said, agreeing with them about her being lucky.

"You're right. Georgie is very lucky," Xyla Quest agreed.

"All right, you guys. I'm feeling embarrassed now," Georgie chuckled, making the nannies laugh, but they didn't make any further comments.

Then, the two best friends held hands and began chatting about various topics.

Xyla and Georgie had endless things to talk about whenever they got together, from funny incidents around them to girl-talk about clothes, purses, cosmetics, skincare products, and more.

They also spoke about travel, spas, saunas, and many other topics they had in common.

Later, they discussed about some newly recruited trainees of X Entertainment.

Xyla described their appearance without photos, and Georgie was happy with what she heard.

She liked how X Entertainment could always find good-looking talents, making her enjoy working every day while looking at attractive people.

Most importantly, these good-looking talents could create unlimited wealth for the company.

"Oh, how has Lukas been doing lately?" she asked.

"He's been a hardworking trainee. He is a good kid and much more diligent than the others," Xyla said. "Moreover, I've been secretly observing him for a while, and his days filled with singing and dancing.

"He doesn't take part in any negative activities at all."

She was in an even better mood knowing this.

They both had high hopes for Lukas Ronaldo. It was better if he stayed away from negative influences.

Celebrities gained fans through their looks initially, but those fans would remain loyal for life because of their positive character traits and personalities.

Georgie preferred talents who could develop long-term over those who faded in popularity quickly. She was glad that all their artistes could go far in the entertainment industry. en.swhovels.net "How great! This kid hasn't disappointed us at all. I have even higher hopes for him now," she said.

"Me, too. I haven't met a more hardworking trainee than Lukas," Xyla admitted.

She looked forward to the young talent's debut, feeling confident that he would be greeted with never-ending applause and cheer.

Chapter 2289 Chapter 2289 Georgie Clementine seemed equally hopeful.

"Most importantly, Lukas has a great reputation among his relatives and friends, too. He has never even been in a relationship or done anything wrong to others, either. "Everyone says he's a good kid. If he works hard, I honestly have high hopes for him," she said.

"Yeah, I believe he's going to be the next Josh Batton," Xyla Quest said.

Xyla stayed in the nursery for a long time and only left the Armstrong family's house reluctantly after Stanley Batton came to get her.

She fastened her safety belt as she got into the car before turning to gaze at her husband. "Georgie and I decided on something important today."

"What is it? Have you decided on who Lynette will marry?" Stanley asked with a raised eyebrow.

She nodded in surprise.

"I know. Henry was so excited that he told me right away. He couldn't even control himself," he told her with a smile.

Her smile widened. "Yeah. Henry's son is so good-looking. I think he would be a good match for Lynette."

"I agree. It would be great if these two could end up together just as planned.

"We know the Armstrong family very well, and we'll watch over their child as he grows up, too. That way, Lynette will have nothing to lose when she marries into their family," he said in a serious expression. "That's what I was thinking, too. No matter how I look at it, Landon is still the most suitable one for our daughter," his wife said dreamily.

He nodded in agreement while casually lighting a cigarette and taking a puff at it. He then turned the ignition on and drove away.

Red roses were still in full bloom by the road, and they made a striking scenery as the wind blew, sending a thick scent of roses into the car.

Her heart was full of happiness that Stanley planted these red roses for her. Now, she had a splendid view of her favorite flower when she went out each day.

Right then, pedestrians walking along the road were taking pictures of the sea of roses.

Xyla was very glad to see how joyful everyone seemed.

Stanley slowly brought the car to a halt when a traffic light turned red.

There, they could hear a conversation between two girls as they took pictures of the flowers- "Did you know that Stanley Batton had these red roses planted in Atlantis for Xyla? He replaced aft flowers in this city with red roses because they are her favorite flower."

"Yeah, I read that on the internet before. Xyla is like a female character in a romance novel.

Novelists probably couldn't even write the stuff that Stanley does for her"

"I can only say that I'm jealous. These kinds of husbands never disappoint."

"I'd like to interview Xyla in person and ask her how it feels to have a husband like that. Would she be too excited to fall asleep every night?"

Stanley and Xyla exchanged amused glances as they eavesdropped until the traffic light turned green.

He stepped on the accelerator and drove forward, wearing a smug grin on his face.

She broke the silence first. "Did you hear them? They were singing high praises for you."

"Yes, I heard them," he replied casually.

She didn't comment further. Instead, she opened her social media feed to scroll through her friends' activities, liking all their posts.

Then, she slowly closed her eyes to rest, falling fast asleep by the time they arrived home.

Stanley couldn't bring himself to wake her up

Chapter 2290 Chapter 2290 Stanley Batton got out of the car before carrying Xyla Quest into the house, finding it utterly silent at this hour. Only a single bright lamp lit up the living room.

He proceeded upstairs into their bedroom and put her to bed.

Seeing the face full of makeup on Xyla, he went into the bathroom for some makeup remover wipes.

He removed all her makeup with exceedingly gentle movements until her pretty face was bare before him.

He found her still stunningly beautiful even without makeup and couldn't help the tender smile that appeared on his face as he gazed at her. Even his eyes softened.

After removing her makeup, he retrieved some skincare products and went through her nightly skincare routine, being careful not to wake her. She was still sound asleep when he cleared everything up before walking into the bathroom. He cleaned himself up and joined her in bed. The next day, Xyla woke up naturally.

When her eyes opened, she subconsciously reached for her phone on the nightstand to check the time.

It was noon.

Nothing felt better than waking up naturally after a good night's sleep.

Her body was fully relaxed as if she had just gone for a massage.

There wasn't much to do today, so she was in no hurry to get out of bed.

Stretching her limbs, she logged into Weibo to see the list of hot topics and soon found Lukas Ronaldo's name on the number one hot topic.

She immediately clicked on it and saw a picture of Lukas taking the subway in the subway station.

He wore a white shirt with light blue jeans and a pair of white sneakers. He looked attractive with his neatly brushed hair and no makeup.

A marketing account had published the picture along with a long caption- "The young man who appeared on various major social media platforms this morning has been identified as Lukas Ronaldo.

"He is currently a trainee at X Entertainment and is rumored to be well looked after by Xyla Quest By the looks of it, he would be making his debut very soon."

There were already several reactions from various women in the comment section- "Ahh! Lukas Ronaldo looks just as good as his name sounds."

vel.net "I think that he and Josh Batton closely resemble each other in looks. They are practically doppelgangers. Also, they are both handsome!"

"Xyla does have good eyes. It was right for her to invest in him."

"Xyla is very lucky. Never mind that everyone in her family is handsome, but even people in her company are handsome."

"This guy is so good-looking. I want to become his fan!"

"Thank you for letting me experience love at first sight, Lukas. I sat right across from him at the time. When I first saw him, I felt like he had touched my soul. My heart was beating extremely fast."
