Chapter 952 - First Words (1/2)

”I heard Rowan said his first word?”

Both Xiu and Darren shared a look. Rowan was about to celebrate his second birthday in another 2 months. This baby was growing up slowly. However, if one asked Xiu and Darren, they'd say that their son was growing too fast. He was already so difficult to manage by both Xiu and Darren combined!

”Little lass, your brothers are asking something,” said Xin Zimen with a smirk playing on his lips.

”Ah-Xin, don't make me say it,” replied Xiu.

Xin Zimen ended up laughing out loud. While his elder brother gave him a look that said, don't-mess-with-my-daughter. But of course, as always, Xin Zimen didn't pay heed to Xin Zemin's expressions.

”I think Rowan learned to call 'Dadda' first instead of 'Mama,'” said Nora. ”And that's why Xiu is not telling us what Rowan said.”

Nora played with Rowan saying in a baby voice, ”Tell me, baby, did you call 'Dadda'? Just tell me, I won't tell anyone.”

”Talk like a human with my son,” said Xiu. ”Don't use that baby voice again.”

Nora glared at Xiu, ”I'm your sister-in-law now. Talk nicely.”

”Okay, my dearest sister-in-law, my son is a human. Talk to him like a human,” said Xiu in a cheeky way making Nora want to slap her face. How was that any different than what she said earlier? It was all the same!

”I am talking like a human,” answered Nora.

Nora and Ah-Si got married about two months ago. So these two have been traveling with their daughter for the past two months. And surprisingly, Ah-Si even managed to drag Xiao Li along with him. But all of that was possible because Ah-Si mentioned how Asteria needed some change in her life and environment. Xiao Li being Xiao Li, actually felt like his daughter needed a change. And since it was already summer vacation, he didn't find it wrong to take his daughter out.

But while they all were gone, Rowan actually said his word. It was such a coincidence that both Xin Zimen and Xin Zemin had come over to see their grandson when Rowan spoke his first word. And they both became the lucky grandfathers who heard Rowan talk.

”So what did he say exactly?” questioned Xiao Li. ”Why is everyone's reaction so weird?”

Xin Zimen chuckled before saying, ”It won't be fun in this way.” He raised his voice and called, ”Serve the dinner.”

”Dad, I thought you're gonna...” Xiao Li didn't continue since he honestly didn't know what to say what his father just did.

Xin Zimen gave his son a mysterious smile as they all gathered for dinner. Xiu put Rowan on his baby seat and stared at her son long and hard before helplessly shaking her head.

As soon as the meal was served, a milky voice was heard, ”Meat! Meat! Meat!”

Xiu's lips twitched when she heard it and looked at Darren who pressed his lips together to stop himself from laughing. However, Nora wasn't as reserved as him, since she instantly burst out laughing.

”Oh my gosh! He actually is a meat fan!”

Xiu facepalmed herself and turned to her son, ”Have you been that hungry for meat in your last life?”
