Chapter 4439
“Okay, take care of him. Jane, stay at my place for a few days. We can talk. This confinement period is so boring.”
Although Jasmine and Elisa dropped by often, and Liberty would call or video chat at night, Serenity still felt bored most of the time.
She slept a lot—so much that she felt wide awake and couldn’t fall asleep anymore.
And if she slept too much during the day and couldn’t sleep at night, Zachary would take over caring for the baby.
Other than breastfeeding, Serenity barely had to lift a finger. It was just eat, sleep, repeat— like she was being raised like a pig during confinement.
Jane chuckled. “You don’t even need to ask. We’re planning to stay at your place for a few days anyway.”
“You’re bored because you’ve got Zachary taking care of everything—the baby, the house, you. All you have to do is eat, sleep, and recover. That kind of life every day would bore anyone.”
Serenity smiled. “You’re right.”
Jane said, “When I was doing confinement, Ben was just like Zachary. But we had two kids. Avah wasn’t too fussy, but Enzo cried a lot. If Avah cried from hunger, I had to feed both at once. I didn’t want to leave them with a sitter, so I did everything myself. I stayed busy and the days flew by.”
Jane had twins. Ben felt bad for her, so he insisted she rest for two full months.
She didn’t return to work until the twins were six months old. Before that, she could drop by the office, but she wasn’t allowed to actually work.
“Let me see the baby.”
Jane hadn’t seen the baby since she came in.
She leaned over to check and smiled when she saw the baby was waking up. “Looks like the baby knows Aunt Jane is here.”
She pulled out a red brocade box and handed it to Serenity. “Here’s my gift for the baby.”
Then she took out a red envelope and tucked it beside the baby. “This is your meet-and-greet red envelope from Auntie. Be a good baby, okay? Play lots during the day and sleep well at night.”
Serenity didn’t hesitate to accept the gift and red envelope.
Jane gently picked up the baby, studied his little face, and said to Serenity, “He looks more like Zachary, but I see you in him too. It’s like he got the best of both of you. He’s going to be so handsome when he grows up. Both of my kids look a lot like Ben. I carried them for months, and they come out looking just like their dad. Doesn’t seem fair.”
Serenity laughed. “That’s just how it feels. They look like both of you, but yes, Avah does resemble Ben a bit more.”
Jane replied, “Their looks aren’t settled yet. It might change as they grow.”
“True. Where are your two kids? Weren’t you all coming together?” Serenity asked. “They’re still downstairs. Grandma York came home and immediately scooped Avah up. If my grandma had come too, she’d be on edge, worried Grandma York would take Avah.”
Old Lady Johnson was always worried Grandma York would steal away her greatgranddaughter.
The two older ladies usually got along—they were good friends—but when it came to Avah, Old Lady Johnson guarded her like treasure.
When Grandma York returned, she joked about how her old friends treated her like a thief.
“Your grandma loves girls,” Serenity said with a laugh. “Avah is seriously adorable. Who wouldn’t love her? Her eyes are bright and playful, her features are delicate—she’s gorgeous. I dream of having a daughter like her. Jane, I’m so envious that you got both a son and daughter in one go.”
Jane smiled. “My brother and I are twins too—boy and girl. Twins run in the family. It’s genetics, so you can’t be too jealous.”

Thank you writer and interpreter for bringing back and writing in English names...

I feel like I betrayed this site caus I had to go to novel drama to continue this novel... They have the real thing there from chapter 182...
I'm seeing Vivian, bill, Julie, maria... Who are these ?...
Need English names, makes the whole story hard to follow....
Please go back to english names. Its been too long that we are reading this novel commitedly. Its like a torture to your loyal readers who can not focus on the story after living with the characters for so long. Please change your interpreter....
Please, please go back to original characters and stop with the repetitive pages. Furthermore the missing chapters from 4389-4412 are still missing. This stopping and starting is getting old. You going to lose all your readers...
Can you hire back the original interpreter or the ones who knows the original name? I think the current interpreter does not want to exert effort on studying the previous names. Please satisfy your readers. We have read the story for a long time. We are patronizing you for this long....
Chapter 4429 and 4430… almost the same. Have read this before. Shuffled contents. Please, kindly check and focus. And change back to English names. All of us are out of focus, no focus in writing and interpreting and we are out of focus by the contente and names. Dizzy…...
Mr. Writer or interpreter please change the names back to English. It is getting hard to connect with the novel. Seems like reading a new novel with no head and legs…...
