Chapter 998: Chapter 513: Side Story: The Hilarious Childbirth Farce (Part 1)

Thinking of this amusing scene, Christine Quinn couldn’t help but laugh, and just then, Skyler Jones’s call came through.

Christine Quinn pressed the answer button on her phone, "Hello..."

"What are you doing?" Skyler’s gentle voice sounded.

Christine Quinn smiled, "Nothing much, just chatting with Mom and Becca." She certainly wouldn’t tell him she was imagining him changing diapers for the baby; she didn’t want to scare him off just yet, she was planning to train him into a super dad in the future.

"Is the baby behaving?"

"The baby just kicked me a little."

"Was it hard? Does it hurt?" Skyler asked with concern as he heard this, clearly worried.

"It doesn’t hurt, the baby’s kick is very light, it’s like him telling me he’s awake." Christine Quinn smiled softly, emanating maternal love.

"Well, the baby must be just like me, caring for you, not wanting mom to suffer too much." Skyler chuckled over the phone, wishing he could hold her right now and feel that tiny movement.

Christine Quinn laughed at his words.

Skyler said, "I’m going to pick up Marie from school, be a good girl and wait for me at home."

Christine Quinn nodded, "I want to eat some cake from the XX Store, please buy it for me..."

"Okay..."

After picking up Marie from school, Skyler immediately presented the cake to his sweet wife...

Mrs. Geoffrey and Rebecca Quentin couldn’t help but smile at the way Skyler cherished Christine Quinn.

However, no one noticed Marie silently heading upstairs after calling Christine.

Skyler and Rebecca simultaneously noticed their daughter’s lonely figure.

The cake still untouched, Rebecca and Skyler went to the children’s room together.

Marie was quietly sitting at the desk, doing her homework.

Rebecca called softly, "Marie..."

Marie turned her chair to see her parents and sweetly called, "Daddy, Mommy."

Christine Quinn pulled Marie to her side, asking gently, "Why did you go to your room alone?"

Marie dropped her gaze, bit her lip, and said nothing.

Skyler squatted down, lightly holding his daughter, "What’s wrong, little darling?"

Marie bit her lip and quietly spoke, "Daddy, Mommy, will you always love me?"

Because of her pregnancy, Christine Quinn couldn’t move around easily, otherwise she would have hugged her daughter right now...

She gently ruffled her daughter’s hair, and tenderly said, "Silly girl, how could Daddy and Mommy not love you?"

Marie slowly raised her eyes, tears already pooling, her beautiful eyes fixed on her father, "But grandma said mommy has a little brother in her belly... If mommy has a little brother, Daddy, Mommy, Grandma, Auntie, and Uncle Geoffrey won’t love me as much as before..."

"Marie..." Skyler said affectionately as a father, "Firstly, Grandma is just guessing that there’s a little brother in your mommy’s belly, and even if mommy really has a little brother, Daddy and Mommy won’t favor him over you... Marie, you’re Daddy and Mommy’s most beloved child, now and forever."

Marie heard this and leaned against her father’s shoulder, choked up, "I saw everyone being so happy that Mommy has a little brother, I’m so scared you won’t love me anymore..."

Skyler lifted Marie, letting her lean on his shoulder, "Silly girl... Daddy will always love you the most."

Christine Quinn also comforted her affectionately, "Mommy loves Marie the most, too."

Marie lay on Skyler’s shoulder, breaking into a smile through her tears, "I’ll love my little brother very, very much too."

New York embraced another rainy day.

Christine Quinn stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly watching the rain outside, listening to its sound, feeling very calm and content.

Skyler’s arm wrapped around her from behind...

Her stomach, which had been pregnant for over seven months, prevented him from holding her as he used to, so he could only hug her gently.

Christine Quinn turned to look at him, "Finished your shower?"

Skyler nodded.

Christine Quinn leaned closer to him to smell, "Hmm, smells great."

Skyler kissed Christine Quinn’s cheek, "What are you looking at?"

Christine looked at the floor-to-ceiling window again, leaning back into his embrace, and sighed contentedly, "Don’t you think staying home while it’s raining outside gives you a feeling of happiness?"

Skyler followed Christine’s gaze, seeing the rain forming a curtain, washing against the window, and then gradually disappearing.

Such a feeling, inexplicably reassuring.

"Is it this feeling?"

"Yes." Skyler replied softly.

At this moment, Christine seemed to remember something and excitedly turned to Skyler, "Honey, I suddenly thought of a name for our daughter..."

Skyler held his wife, gazing deeply at her, "Tell me."

Christine excitedly looked up at Skyler, "What do you think of giving our daughter a name with the word ’Rain’?"

"’Rain’?"

Christine nodded, "We don’t know the baby’s gender yet, so we need to think of both boy and girl names... I think if it’s a girl, give her a name with the word ’Rain’."

Skyler didn’t say anything, just smiled lightly, watching Christine’s excited expression, his gaze becoming somewhat dazed.

"Honey, why aren’t you speaking? Don’t you like the word ’Rain’?" Christine asked a bit disappointedly.

Skyler gently stroked Christine’s silky black hair, softly kissing her forehead, "Whatever you choose, I like it." Just now, he was lost in her gentle smile, feeling as if he was in a dream.

"Never mind..." Christine suddenly changed her mind, "I named Marie, so let’s let you name this baby..."

Skyler chuckled softly, "It doesn’t matter who names, besides, Marie’s name sounds beautiful."

Christine excitedly lifted her gaze, "Really?"

Skyler lightly tapped Christine’s cute nose, "My wife is very talented."

Christine snuggled into Skyler’s embrace, "Then you think of a name too. If it’s a girl, include ’Rain’; if it’s a boy?"

Skyler pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "’Deep’?"

"’Deep’? What does it mean?" Christine asked curiously.

Skyler gazed deeply at Christine, his magnetic voice murmured, "Deep love between husband and wife."

Christine was stunned for a moment, then blushed.

"Naughty..."

Skyler gently lifted Christine’s beautiful chin, softly asking, "How about Dorian Jones?"
