Chapter 921 - Scheming Like His Mother (2/2)

Xiu hummed in reply and looked at her sleepy son. ”I think he has inherited my laziness. He loves to sleep. Here, I'm washing him up and he is dozing off.”

Darren laughed at her, ”He is still small. All he can do is eat and sleep for now.”

Xiu pinched his tiny nose saying, ”That's why he is my favorite. He loves all those things that I love. Eating and sleeping. I can already see how good of a friend we'll make in the future.”

Darren could only laugh harder when he heard her say that.

”Sweets, if he is your favorite, what am I?”

”You?” Xiu pretended to think about it for a while before telling him, ”You're a part of me. How many times I have to tell you this?”

”I like hearing it again and again,” he replied cheekily as he held up their son in a towel and patted his dry softly. The little one was so obedient that he didn't mind what his parents did to him. As much as he tortured Xiu during the third trimester, he was trying to gain brownie points now by being a good baby.

And to this, Xiu had said, ”He is scheming like his mother.” She had no qualms in calling herself scheming.

Darren took the baby out of the bathroom which gave Xiu enough space to take a bath and change her clothes. As she came out to the bedroom, she found her baby curled up on the ċhėst of his father. His diaper-clad buŧŧ was raised up while his small hands laid on top of his father's ċhėst.

This scene before her was so warm that it filled her soul to the brim with warmth. Her two precious babies were just too adorable. Handling one's charm was deadly enough and now seeing them together, it was instant kill!

Darren was lightly patting the little baby's back with his eyes closed. Xiu took light steps over to their side and pushed Darren's hair away from his forehead. Her husband had also chosen to lock himself in the house with her and their son for the whole month. And because of that, his hair had grown longer than she was used to seeing.

With her touch, he opened his eyes and blinked at her.

”Tired?” she asked.

Darren shook his head, ”Not really. I'm fine.”

Xiu picked up her son from his ċhėst who moved slightly but soon curled up in his mother's arms. Babies do have some kind of affinity with their mothers since even though the one to always hold him was Darren, this little tiger still knew how to act spoilt with his mother and garner her attention and love.

In the corner of the room was set up baby's nursery. They hadn't chosen to give him a room of his own yet. First, he was too small, and second, both of them were too overprotective of their son.

Xiu put him in the crib which was made with love by the little tiger's uncles. Xiu knew how many blisters and cuts both Xiao Li and Ah-Si had when they were learning to build a crib from scratch for their son. Even though she said there was no need, they had insisted on doing it this way.

Although Xiu loved the gesture, she felt distressed seeing her brothers in pain.

As she fixed the blanket for the baby, Darren came to stand behind her and wrapped his arms around her. They both gazed at the sleeping face of their baby and both of them had a soft and gentle smile on their faces. For some reason, that smile had become permanent since this little one had arrived. Just looking at his face, they both found their happiness.
