Awakening Love Reborn to Be His Duchess (Elowen Hale) novel Chapter 625

Chapter 625 Twin Blessings

The newborn boy looked so much like Elowen that Cassian could see it at a glance the moment the chic was placed into his arms beneath the glow of the iron wall lamps,

Lowen’s features had always carried a quiet sort of beauty, gentle and refined in a way that only grew lovelier the longer one looked at her, and their son had inherited every bit of that softness. Someday, when the boy was older, he would surely become the sort of young nobleman capable of charming half the ladie at court without even trying.

ven so, another thought lingered stubbornly at the back of Cassian’s mind.

Ella’s always wanted a daughter.

Now that the first baby’s a boy… is she secretly disappointed?

Before he could dwell on it any longer, another cry suddenly rang out from inside the birthing chamber. Sharp and strong enough to echo through the corridor beyond.

Cassian barely paused to think. Holding the swaddled infant securely against his chest, he immediately turned and strode back into the room.

The midwives had only just finished bathing the baby and wrapping him in soft cloth, planning to bring him outside so Cassian could see him properly.

The moment Cassian crossed the threshold into the chamber, he looked directly toward them and asked without preamble, “Is it a girl?”

One of the older women broke into a delighted grin at once. “It is, Your Grace. A beautiful little lady.

The baby girl had stopped crying almost immediately after being wrapped up warmly. Curled inside the swaddling cloth with her eyes shut tight, she slept peacefully with one tiny fist lifted beside her cheek, pink and impossibly small.

The instant Cassian heard the answer, the tightness in his chest eased completely, and an unguarded smile finally appeared on his face. “Bring them both to Her Grace.”

“Yes, Your Grace.”

Elowen had nearly exhausted herself during labor. Her face and hair were damp with tears and sweat alike. yet she no longer had enough strength left to care. Resting weakly against the pillows, she looked as though she could barely keep her eyes open.

‘Mira sat beside the bed with obvious concern written all over her face as she carefully wiped away the dampness from Elowen’s cheeks using a soft linen cloth.

“Ella.”

Only after hearing Cassian’s voice did Elowen slowly force her heavy

Cyelids open.

One of the midwives carefully placed a tiny bundle beside her assian lowered the child in his own

arms onto the bed as well.

No matter how exhausted she felt, these were still the children she had carried into the world herself. happiness and curiosity inside her were impossible to suppress. Leaning forward slightly, she gently pulled back the edges of the crimson cloth one child at a time to look at them properly.

After studying the first baby for a moment, she spoke in a hoarse whisper. “This one looks like me. Those eyes are definitely mine.”

Cassian smiled faintly as he looked down at the infant. “That’s our son.”

Elowen nodded seriously before turning toward the second baby. The moment she saw the tiny girl, her expression softened all over again. “This one looks more like you, Cassian. Just look at her liftle hands. They’re so pink.”

As she spoke, she lifted her gaze toward him with tears still glimmering in her eyes and a smile trembling faintly at the corners of her lips.

Cassian’s voice gentled instinctively. “Ella, this is our daughter.”

Elowen nodded again, and before she realized it herself, tears slipped quietly down her cheeks once more)

Cassian chuckled softly under his breath as he brushed them away with his fingertips. “Hey now, why are you crying again?”

Elowen sniffed lightly before managing a shaky little smile. “I’m happy, that’s all.”

The midwife who had delivered the children finished washing her hands before stepping forward with a broad smile of her own. “Congratulations, Your Grace. A son and a daughter both. Duskmoor Manor has truly been blessed tonight.”

The other maids and attendants immediately followed with cheerful blessings and congratulations of their own, and before long the entire chamber had filled with delighted voices.

Though Elowen still looked pale from exhaustion, the warmth of the celebration gradually returned a little color to her face.

Cassian turned calmly toward the servants. “Ella has delivered twins safely tonight. Everyone in Duskmoor Manor will receive a reward.”

The room became even livelier at once.

Amid all the celebration, Gerda still remembered the important practical matters that needed tending. Stepping forward respectfully, she lowered her head slightly before addressing him properly.

“Your Grace, allow us to bring the babies to the wet nurses for now. Her Grace must be utterly exhausted after labor, and we should prepare fresh bedding, tidy the chamber, and help Her Grace wash before she

rests.”

Cassian glanced toward Elowen, whose eyes already looked heavy with sleep, and nodded quietly. “You’re right. Ella needs rest.”

Gerda and Edith each carried one of the babies from the room.

Even while lying there half–asleep with exhaustion, Elowen still found herself worrying about two entirely different things at once. Part of her thoughts followed the children who had just been taken away, while

another part still lingered anxiously on Alaric and whether word of his late had arrived

Her gaze instinctively followed the two older women toward the door, and her lips parted slightly as di she wanted to ask something.

Cassian immediately noticed.

Taking her hand gently into his own, he leaned clo

beside her and spoke in a low, soothing voice. “Don’t start worrying yet, Ella. Nothing involving Alaric will be decided this quickly. Try to get some sleep first. Th babies have only been taken to the wet nurses we chose together earlier, the very ones you trusted most

Elowen slowly turned her eyes toward him.

Cassian continued patiently, “Get some rest. By the time you wake up, Scarlet should already be back, and I’ll have the children brought to you again.”

Elowen nodded obediently, though she still kept looking at him as though reluctant to let him leave. Her voice came out soft and worn with exhaustion. “Cassian…. stay with me a little longer.”

The instant the words left her lips, Cassian felt his hear

soften so completely it almost became painful.

Nearby, Mira hesitated briefly before speaking up in a careful voice. “Your Grace, perhaps you should step outside for a while so we can help Her Grace clean up properly.”
