My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 21

"Mommy!" Little Bean's voice squeaked with excitement. "Daddy is so handsome! Did you see him just now? He looked like a total alpha billionaire!"

Seraphina thought to herself: *He already is a billionaire.*

"Oh, right!" Little Bean paused for a second before his laughter grew even brighter. "Then he's the king of all billionaires! A super billionaire!"

Seraphina was speechless.

Was this kid's vocabulary a bit lacking?

Grandma Eleanor watched the scene unfold, the anger on her face gradually dissipating, replaced by a look of profound comfort.

"That's more like it." She took a sip from her teacup and looked at Seraphina. "Sera, don't worry. I've got your back."

Seraphina smiled. "Thank you, Grandma Eleanor."

"For what?" The old lady waved it off. "You're a Langford now. Anyone who bullies you is bullying the Langford family. Lucian understands this, and so do I."

A sudden lump formed in Seraphina's throat.

Growing up, she had never been protected like this.

In the Simmons family, she was the invisible one; her father only had eyes for Sienna.

But here, in this unfamiliar, luxurious estate, an old woman she had just met was giving her a warmth she had never experienced before.

"Mommy, don't cry!" Little Bean panicked. "If you cry, I'm going to cry too... Wah..."

It was all just too overwhelming.

Seraphina didn't know what to say.

This kid really could turn on the waterworks at a moment's notice.

She took a deep breath, swallowing the lump in her throat, and smiled as she passed a plate of food to the old woman. "Grandma Eleanor, you should eat too."

Grandma Eleanor took it with a beaming smile. "Good, good. Let's all eat."

Sitting across from them, Lucian watched the exchange, a fleeting emotion flashing through his eyes.

It vanished so quickly it seemed like an illusion.

......

That afternoon, Seraphina and Lucian left the estate.

Grandma Eleanor walked them all the way to the door, holding Seraphina's hand reluctantly. "Sera, come back and see me whenever you have time. If Lucian is busy, you can come by yourself. I'll have someone make you a comforting meal."
