Chapter 489 - Sleepless Nights (1/2)

At Yang Mansion around two in the morning.

Xander sighed and smiled after placing baby Kanya back in her crib.

'Finally, I can sleep.' He mused and joined his wife on the bed who was already sleeping soundly. He closed his eyes and was about to drift to sleep when a loud cry again roared inside the room.

Xander abruptly got up on the bed and ran to baby Bernard's crib.

”Oh, hush my baby…” he hummed while he cradled him gently and sang him a song to stop him from crying.

He did not want Yera to be awakened since the latter just slept after b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding baby Yeng.

They had to switch to formula milk for each of them a few times a day since Yera's milk was insufficient to cater the hunger demands of all three of them, so they started with formula milk alternately for each of them.

Baby Bernard kept crying, and Xander prepared the bottle of formula milk and fed it to him. It was past three in the morning when Xander could finally go to sleep.

At around six in the morning, Xander suddenly woke up when he heard another cry and he moved, getting up fast.

He sluggishly went to carry Kanya, thinking she was the one crying, but then he realized it was not her, so he carefully put her back in her crib.

He slapped his face to stay awake because his eyelids were dropping for being too sleepy. He yawned loudly and was about to prepare a bottle of milk.

He saw Yera get up with a smile and said, ”I'll feed her. Go back to sleep, darling.”

Xander nodded and walked to bed like a zombie. He slumped his restless body without minding his slant position, taking all the space for him.

”Darling, when will you feed me too?” He sheepishly mumbled as if he was dreaming half asleep.

Yera chuckled and shook her head before carrying baby Yeng in her arms to b.r.e.a.s.tfeed her. It had been a few weeks already since they came back home after birth and her husband insisted that they both switch turns for the triplets and look after the kids themselves.

Tomorrow they should get a babysitter or she was afraid for her husband's health who was too hands on with their triplets as well. He was too kind not to wake her up or let her rise from bed often to feed the triplets at night.

The next morning, Dion laughed, seeing the dark circles under Xander's eyes during breakfast.

”Bro… allow a babysitter at night so you two could have a proper sleep.” Dion insisted, pitying his brother who seemed to lack a lot of sleep.

”You guys don't have a babysitter,” Xander answered, followed by a yawn.

”Almost all babies are awake at night so more weeks without proper sleep and your immune system will fall. Dion has only one baby and you have three.” Senior Yang added.

”I told you let baby Bernard be with us tonight then switch turns every night with Kanya and Yeng…” Senior Yang insisted.

Xander shook his head followed by a yawn before saying, ”No dad. My babies should stay together and stick with each other and with their daddy.”

Senior Yang chuckled. His son was too possessive for his triplets that he wanted them all to be inside his own room during the night.

Dion shook his head, wondering until when his brother could last. He had become a full-time father and would occasionally visit the group every once in a while, or only for some important meetings that needed his presence. That was because he had a reliable assistant like Ron who could handle almost everything on his behalf.

”By the way, Lyndon would be released today, right?” Xander asked, and Dion nodded.
