At night, Xyla Quest, Stanley Batton, Josh Batton, Annabeth Cates, Rachel Wood, and Sebastian Brenand gathered at the Armstrong family’s house to visit Georgie Clementine and the latest addition to the family.
Henry Armstrong’s mother had prepared a feast for everyone, which they enjoyed immensely.
After dinner, everyone moved to the living room, where two tables had been set up for poker.
Xyla passed on poker in favor of heading up to the nursery, where she found Georgie observing while a few nannies fed bottled milk to Landon Armstrong.
The entire room had a light milky scent, one that instantly melted Xyla's heart whenever she smelled it.
Georgie was on her bed but quickly moved aside to pat the space next to her. "Here, have a seat."
Xyla smiled and sat down. “Are you bored during postpartum recovery?”
She instantly nodded in relief as if she’d finally met someone who understood her. “How could it not be boring? I’m practically dying of boredom over here.
“I hope the rest of the time is over soon so that I can get back to the office and work.
“You have no idea how much I miss the office. I worry the company can’t cope without me and that you can’t handle everything by yourself.
“To be honest, I should get back to my normal routine after a month, but Henry’s parents won’t allow it,” she grumbled with a heavy sigh.
“I have to listen to them, don't I? After all, it is for my own good. I shouldn’t upset my in-laws over something minor like this,” she added.
Xyla nodded in understanding and smiled. “Yeah, stay at home and rest. Postpartum recovery is crucial for women.
