Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1737

Alec's arrival turned everyone's world upside down for a few days as they rallied to take care of the little guy. Jenna, having just given birth, was completely worn out, so Adler dedicated his time to staying with her at a postpartum retreat to ensure she got the care she needed.

Meanwhile, back at the Aldridge Estate, the baby was left in the hands of Sophie, Colby, and Harold—capable, yet slightly overwhelmed. The trio quickly found themselves on constant baby duty. Initially, the two guys thought a newborn would be a cute, cuddly bundle of joy. Little did they know, this tiny human had a talent for soiling diapers and crying at the drop of a hat.

Within just a week, Harold was on the verge of losing his mind. "For heaven’s sake, can't he just stop crying?" he lamented, sporting a scruffy beard and tired eyes. Harold had even stopped going to the office, opting instead to have all his work documents sent to the estate. The nursery had been set up in the study, but that did little to muffle the baby's cries.

Colby strolled into the room and, with surprising ease, managed to calm the baby down. Before long, he had the little one nestled in his arms. The baby stopped crying as soon as he saw Colby but didn’t break into a smile either.

"Big brother, thank goodness for you!" Harold was in awe of Colby. The baby only seemed to find peace in Colby's arms, his tiny face wearing an oddly serious expression.

Colby, with his usual cool demeanor, stared at the baby, who appeared on the brink of getting spooked by his intense gaze. "Colby! You're scaring the child!" Sophie chimed in, swooping in to scoop up the baby. Once in her arms, the baby let out a loud cry before settling down and breaking into giggles.
