ebne chuckled, teasingly saying, “Looks like you’re fond of daughters. Since you got here, haven’t seen you even glanced at Asher.”
Speaking softly in the presence of the babies, Nathaniel replied, “Personally, I do lean toward having a daughter. However, as long as they’re your kids, I’ll adore them regardless of gender.”
He picked up the blue toy meant for Asher, then turned to soothe Asher in the nearby crib, treating both children equally.
Seeing his genuine affection for the kids, Sheena did not comment and joined him in entertaining
the babies.
Nathaniel glanced at Sheena, his handsome face breaking into a genuine smile.
At that moment, he felt the tranquility of the present, wishing it could last forever.
“Nana, I heard about some trouble with the Lawson family before you had the babies. Did you gain
another sister?”
Sheena’s smile faltered briefly before she regained her composure, continuing to play with Asher
and Adora.
“Yes, my dad’s illegitimate daughter. She caused quite a stir.”
Nathaniel asked worriedly, “Did she harm you?”
“It’s no big deal. She’s no match for me.”
Looking at Sheena’s stunning and arrogant expression, Nathaniel chuckled softly.
“Of course not. No one could outwit Nana.”
Sheena narrowed her eyes at him, saying, “I’ll take that as a compliment.
“Of course, it’s a compliment,” Nathaniel replied softly, “In my eyes, you’re the brightest star.”
He sighed lightly, steering the conversation, “When Uncle Albert passed away, I saw news about another incident involving the Lawson family. That must have been related to this illegitimate
daughter, right?”
Sheena nodded, her tone growing serious. “Whether she’s alive or not, the Lawson family will never welcome her back, and I won’t give her a chance to cause trouble.”
Nathaniel’s expression mirrored her seriousness.
It seemed there was more to this situation than meets the eye.
