Chapter 598 - Five Hundred And Ninety-Eight: His Poop Smells Great (2/2)
”Look at the way he flutters his eyelids!”
”I think he just smiled at me!”
”He just cooed!”
”He's so adorable!”
”I want a baby too!”
Those words rang out across the room as the baby bewitched them with his charm.
”Pedro!” Ailee called all of a sudden
”Yes?!”
”Can I betrothed Dash before anyone lays a claim to him first?”
”Huh?” The boy was stunned. His brother was barely three days old and they were already talking about betrothment.
Neon and Allen glared at the baby instantly, what is this talk of betrothment. He was barely three days old and was already trying to take away their sister from them? They can't let that happen!
Pedro laughed nervously, ”Sorry, Ailee, but you're just a kid and you know nothing about betrothment,” He treated her like one as well.
But Ailee frowned at him, ”I'll be eight next month,”
”All the better, you're too old for Dash,” Allen said harshly.
Pedro breathed in relief.
”Silly,” Ailee scowled at him, ”I'm not talking about me, but my future sisters - the one mommy is going to give us,”
They almost facepalmed, the girl was betrothing their unborn sibling. Who does that? She wasn't even sure Reina would birth a female child. A single-sex triplet was rare but not impossible.
”It would be perfect,” Ailee went on, ”Pedro marries Isabella…”
Isabella went red in the face, what the hell has this girl been learning lately. She never taught her this.
”Julie marries Anabelle…”
Anabelle didn't hide her blush, she relished it, already envisioning a future between her and Julie. Isabella wished she could throw up.
”My future sister Dash -”
”Then you?” Allen interrupted her, ”You then? Who would you marry?”
Ailee grinned and Neon's heart doubled, anticipating an answer.
”Someone better you,” Was all Ailee said yet didn't notice the way Neon's expression faltered.
He was not better than Allen, the boy moaned inside of his heart. However, a flame ignited suddenly, he could be better if he worked hard. Neon stared at Ailee, he liked her and wouldn't mind marrying her when they grew up. For her, he would work hard to become smart, handsome, and strong. He would be better than Allen so he can be her betrothed, he decided in his heart.
Allen huffed, as expected girls would be girls. He hasn't thought about his future at all nor did he care about getting married in later years, all he wanted was fun and his family by his side.
”So what do you say?” Ailee was still adamant about the engagement.
Pedro didn't know what to say, he was between the devil and the blue sea. What was he going to do? Ailee was really adamant when she wanted something. He was still thinking of an escape route when fate (aka the author) gave him one.
”What's that foul smell?” Isabella's nose wrinkled in distaste.
Julie sniffed, ”I smell that too,”
And slowly, the unpleasant smell permeated the room. Everyone covered their nose except Anabelle who announced joyfully,
”I think Dash just pooped. Isn't it amazing?”
Isabella was the first to rush to the door, leaving successfully. Her cousin was nuts, what's amazing about poop?
Julie wanted to leave as well but he had to show support. Hopefully, no one would ask him to do the diapers - that would be his breaking point.
Allen, Ailee, and Neon took a step back, for a baby this small, his poop does smell greatly.
Pedro gulped, and for the first time, turned pleading eyes on Annabelle, ”Please tell me you can do the diapers,”
