At Glamour Hall, the Long Family Mansion, Dragon Island
Cries of two different pitches from newborn babies came through, filling up the entire place. As one baby stopped crying, the other began crying again, which was repeated endlessly, as if they were saying that they were not satisfied with what they were suffering at the moment.
Molly walked inside the main hall with two feeding bottles in her hands. Seeing the scene before her eyes, she could not help but open her mouth slightly. Then she blinked as if she could not believe what she saw and asked, "Bri, what are you doing?"
Brian's face was an overcast one. With a wet diaper in one hand, he took a slight glance at it before throwing it in the garbage can. Ignoring the baby's cry, he lifted his son's fat legs and began wiping his ass with a piece of wet tissue. He could not look clumsier or funnier with the expression on his face.
"Let me do it." Molly offered to help, putting the feeding bottles on the table. Seeing him so unlike the man she had been familiar with, Molly couldn't bear seeing her husband doing such an uncomfortable task. Knowing him by heart, she knew there was nothing that he was not able to do in the world. However, it turned out that he was not able to get the point of changing diapers for his babies, which was the easiest and simplest thing she had known.
"No. I can do it." Brian refused. Not wanting to give up, he set himself against Charlie. Brian was determined to change his son's diaper successfully even if it would drain all of his patience away. However, the little baby seemed to be on bad terms with him. Charlie kept on kicking his chubby legs in the air instead of cooperating with his father.
While he was crying, little Evelyn who was just in the crib beside him cried even harder, as if she was infected by her brother.
Determined to console her baby girl, Molly despite being annoyed, wanted to laugh at the same time. Then bending over, she carried Evelyn in her arms and danced her into a hush while humming a calm lullaby.
Then just like magic, a miracle happened.
All of a sudden, Charlie stopped crying, and his teary eyes followed Evelyn, who was in Molly's arms. The way he stared at his sister with his eyes was so unusual for a baby.
Taking advantage of this chance, Brian finally finished changing little Charlie's diaper in a hurry. As a result, he was so flustered that he couldn't even manage to wipe away the sweat on his forehead.
