Heinz was startled as he looked at how Grace headed over to the nursery upon tidying herself up. He rolled his eyes silently and lamented towards the ceiling.
"Those little creatures are more important than me. I'm ranked so lowly in this family, sigh."
Heinz sighed bitterly as he lamented.
Grace, on the other hand, said coldly, "Stop sighing about it and get up quickly to check up on your daughter. Isn't she your little darling? Go and feed her some formula milk."
Heinz was shocked and quickly got out of the bed. "Why is my daughter drinking formula milk instead of your breast milk?"
"I don't have enough breast milk." Grace said, "Your daughter will have to make do with it for now."
"No, let that brat, Sebastian, drink formula milk, so that our little cutie, Sylvia, can have breast milk." Heinz kept on suggesting to Grace while following behind her. "Did you hear me? Grace, you have to feed that brat Sebastian formula milk instead. Little cutie Sylvia is so well-behaved."
"Heinz." Grace stopped outside the door and looked at him, saying, "Look at you how you're calling Sebastian a brat but calling Sylvia a little cutie. Don't you think you're being too outrageous here?"
"Outrageous?" Heinz was shocked and asked in return, "Was I? Am I outrageous? What's wrong with the names I have given them? That brat Sebastian didn't even complain about it. Why are you complaining in his place?"
"Baby Sebastian doesn't know how to complain yet. Once he does, though, he will surely dislike you as much as Little Gary did." Grace reminded him. "Although Baby Sylvia is a very good girl, you still shouldn't say that, as it wouldn't be nice for the children to hear such things."
"Okay, okay, little cutie Sebastian then." Heinz frowned after saying that, as it felt weird. He then spread out his hands and said, "Look, calling him little cutie Sebastian sounds so weird. So, I still think that it would be better for me to call him a brat. Don't you think so?"
Grace also frowned. The way he addressed Sebastian did sound weird.
She snorted. "How much worse can you go? Didn't I tell you to call him Baby Sebastian already?" "Well, Baby Sebastian, cutie Baby Sebastian, are you happy now?" Heinz said, "You can't blame me though. It's his fault for being the third child."
Grace couldn't be bothered by Heinz and walked into the nursery directly.
Surely enough, the children were awake.
The two nannies were holding one baby each, as they were about to start feeding them.
They had prepared the formula milk already, because Heinz asked them not to wake Grace up for the night, so that she could rest better.
Therefore, the nannies obeyed and did not wake Grace up, but they didn't expect her to end up here anyway.
As soon as she entered the nursery, she asked for Baby Sebastian and said, "I'll feed Baby Sebastian. Let Baby Sylvia have formula milk."
"No way! Let Baby Sebastian have formula milk, so that Baby Sylvia can have breast milk." Heinz quickly protested.
Grace looked at him and said, 'No, I'm going to let Baby Sebastian have breastmilk while Baby Sylvia will have formula milk. Don't try to interrupt my plan."
Heinz immediately shook his head and tried to persuade her. "Baby Sylvia is a girl. So, she should have breast milk instead. Baby Sebastian is the older brother. He wouldn't mind having formula
milk instead."
Heinz doted so much on this daughter that he would do everything for her. However, Grace knew that Baby Sylvia was heavier than Baby Sebastian by more than half a kilogram. As such, she had to care for Baby Sebastian more, so that he could increase his weight as well.
After all, both of them already had such a big difference in their weight although it had only been four months. As their Mom, she felt quite guilty about it.
She hoped to be fair to all her children.
This way, as they continued growing up, their mental state would also develop in a fair and healthy way.
