Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 815

When she saw Caroline and George arguing with each other, Harper quietly took the baby out of the room, leaving the couple to sort things out. As she saw the new grandparents waiting outside anxiously, Harper informed with a smile, "Lord Franklin, Lady Isabella, your daughter and the baby are stable. It's a boy."

Isabella held the baby in her arms and said with so much excitement, "Caroline wants you to give the baby his name. Please name him. It would be such an honor."

In fact, Harper had been thinking about it for a while. She said, "How about Jabari? It means brave."

Franklin couldn't help but repeat the name, as if he was trying to see how the name would sound. "Jabari, Jabari. It's great. The name has been decided then."

Meanwhile, Zack had been standing by the sideline and watching how happy they were. He smiled and thought to himself, 'It's such a precious time. I wish this moment can stay a bit longer, so I can also enjoy the warmth of it all.'

However, it seemed like Matthew was born to ruin Zack's happiness. As soon as Harper gave the baby a name, Barry walked into the room. Zack didn't have to think any deeper, and he knew that the man was there on Matthew's command. Matthew was so determined that he and Harper wouldn't stay with each other for no more than an extra second.

After Barry curtsied to everyone, he then stated, "Lord Franklin, Lady Isabella, Lord Zack, congratulations on the safe birth of this child. Lady Harper, His Highness has been waiting for you outside of the gate for quite a long time and wants to know when you plan to come back home."

Harper faintly smiled. "Ask him to wait for a moment. I'll come out after I tell them something important."

"Yes, Lady Harper, understood." After he acknowledged what Harper said, Barry turned around and left the room. A hint of distress was briefly seen across Zack's eyes but it soon disappeared.

"You've just returned to the capital so we were actually planning to invite you for dinner. We wanted to properly welcome you. But it so happened that Caroline gave birth to a baby and you had to come in this kind of situation. Thank you for your hard work. We're fine here. Please go back to your mansion. You must be tired and craving for some rest after your journey." Zack was always so considerate and gentle. He would never make it difficult for Harper.

"That's right but Caroline just gave birth so she needs some tonic. Later, I will write a list of some nutritious food that will help her recover and have someone send it here. Since we came back, I haven't returned to my mansion. Matthew is already waiting outside so I can't stay any longer. Goodbye, everyone." Harper politely bid everyone goodbye.

"Go ahead. After all, we now have plenty of time since you're back in the city. Harper, please take care of yourself. We didn't see you for a long time but you look much thinner than the last time." Isabella spoke in a gentle voice.

Harper was a little stunned but she nodded. "Thank you for your concern, Lady Isabella. I'll keep that in mind."

She turned around and left the room while Zack's gaze followed her out. He didn't veer his eyes away even when she disappeared at the corner.

Franklin sighed quietly before he spoke. "Zack, take a look at your nephew. Just stare at him right now and you can see that he's going to grow up into a promising boy."

As Zack looked away and turned to the child in Isabella's arms, his eyes softened. "Yeah, I don't doubt that," he remarked.
