Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 525

The Scotts decided to hold a one-month-old party for the baby in a few days. In actuality, he had already exceeded one month old at that moment. However, due to the tradition in Avenport, it was better to celebrate it as close to when the baby was two months old as possible so that he could live a longer life in the future. As stubborn as Sabrina was, she, of course, chose the day right before the baby reached two months old. Yet, as a result, I could attend it. Otherwise, I would have had to give her my blessings while in the hospital.

Previously, I would always attend such a party alone. Even after knowing Christopher, I still seldom joined a party with him openly. The few times we were together, we had always ended up getting tangled in a mess or being the center of gossip.

This time, I attended it with Julia. As soon as I arrived at the hall in a gown prepared by Julia and a pair of high heels, I instantly noticed how the crowds’ gazes on me had changed.

“Hi, darling! Come here and let me hold you for a while.” As I carried the baby in my arms, I found it hard to tear myself away from him. He kept giggling when he saw me as if he remembered that I had taken care of him for two days before.

After comparing him with Sabrina, I said with a smile, “The more I look at him, the more he resembles Zachary. Sabby, your genes seemingly aren’t strong enough. I can’t find a feature on him that resembles you.”

“So what?” Sabrina had always been open to joking. At that moment, she sat on a rocking chair with a servant pushing the chair continuously beside her. While eating imported grapes from Anglandur, she said, “If he inherits his father’s genes, he will be as handsome as his father in the future. When we go out together in the future, the women will surely be jealous of me, knowing that I have two extremely good-looking men by my side! Haha!”

Seeing her getting carried away, an urge to slap her surged through me instantly.

“Don’t make a fuss in front of Zachary. He’s an honest man, so he’ll take anything seriously. He even kept questioning Chris about why we don’t have children yet. After getting beaten by Chris, he still acted innocent. As a result, Chris mentions it in resentment whenever we get into bed. I have to bear the consequences as well, you know.”

Finishing that, I touched the baby’s tender face lightly. Interested, he grabbed my fingers and started to play with them.

“Well, it serves Zach right! Every day, he keeps bugging me about having seven to eight children. I’m not a breeding machine, so why the hell should I give birth to so many children? Yet, he doesn’t know when to give up. If I don’t teach him some lessons, he’ll never learn.”

Well, now I know that she did it purposefully. I twitched my mouth before saying in resignation, “Be careful. If Zachary ends up getting hurt, don’t come crying to me. I won’t sympathize with you then.”

“Don’t worry. I believe in Zach’s abilities.”This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

That’s probably how an affectionate couple is. It’s indeed the most blessed thing in my life that both my friend and I have found our happiness.

The hall was lively and crowded. Some passersby would greet me now and then. Most of them were the sons of wealthy families who hadn’t mingled with me before. It was at such a moment that I felt my status was elevated.

After getting bombarded by nonstop blabbering from the people around me, I finally understood why Christopher always hid in a corner whenever he attended a party. I can’t stand it anymore. It’s so noisy that my head feels like it’s about to explode.

After finding a quiet corner out on the balcony, I sipped at some wine. Just as I planned to relax, I suddenly saw Benjamin running out to the balcony with Crystal following after him. While crying, she hugged Benjamin from behind. “Benjamin, please don’t be angry anymore. I got deceived by Benson into helping him do all that. Can you forgive me?”

Yet, Benjamin struggled out of her arms, turned around, and looked at her coldly. In a calm tone, he said, “Then, Ms. Yates, can you preserve yourself some dignity? Why do you keep bothering me?”

Crystal widened her eyes in disbelief at his words. As she blinked her eyes, a tear rolled down her face. “Benjamin, even if I did deceive you, even if the person who saved you before was Yvonne, are you going to deny me just because of these? We still have a wonderful past together. All those memories belong to both of us, not Yvonne. You even promised me that you’ll protect me forever regardless of what happens.”

Hearing that, Benjamin stretched out two of his fingers and lifted her chin. After looking at her for a moment, he suddenly tossed his head back and laughed. Then, he remarked slowly, “The one I want to protect is the kind woman who was once willing to risk her life just to save me, not a promiscuous b*tch!”
