Next One Is a Babe Chapter 1349

John turned his head to look at Sophia. "I finally slept well after holding you last night."

Sophia huffed. "I was scared out of my wits last night when someone sneaked into my bed. I almost

screamed for someone to catch the pervert."

Curling his lips, he leaned directly against the head of the bed. "So you woke up last night and even

deliberately snuggled into my arms."

Sophia tutted at him. "I’m not gonna bicker with you anymore. I'm going to see my darling."

With that, she went out of the room and headed to the nursery. The baby woke up a long time ago and

had been carried downstairs by the postnatal caregiver.

Sophia turned around and went downstairs. When she reached the stairs, she saw the baby kicking his

little feet and waving his little hands in the crib.

He had changed into red clothes, making him look very feisty. The red color also caused his skin to

look fairer by contrast.

Compared to how he looked a few days ago, he looked way better now.

Sophia's heart was a gooey mess as she looked at him. Indeed, as Matilda said, maternal love would

get deeper and deeper with the passage of time.

Just then, Matilda came out from the kitchen with a bowl of soup in her hands. "Oh, you’ve come down.

I wanted to bring this up to you. Come and drink the soup."

Sophia skipped down the stairs.

Seeing her, Matilda shook her head helplessly. "You look as if you have never given birth. I remember

that when I gave birth to John… Ugh, I was as fat as a ball."

Sophia chuckled. "Perhaps it’s genetics. No one in my family gets fat."

Or perhaps it was because she was malnourished during her childhood, so she had always remained

thin.

Sophia took the bowl of soup and went to the crib. The little baby blinked his eyes, staring at her

without any expression.

He didn’t seem to be able to make any expressions other than the crying one for now. Sophia put out a

hand and touched the baby’s hand, which was soft and fair.

Matilda came up from the side. "This little one woke up at night. But unlike other children, he just

looked for something to eat with his mouth open without crying.”

Sophia didn't wake up in the middle of the night to feed the baby and instead slept soundly until the

next day. Naturally, she didn't know what it was like when the child woke up in the middle of the night.

So, she asked, "Does he wake up often in the middle of the night?"

Matilda shook her head. "This boy is very sleepy. Sometimes when I think it's time to feed him, he

would still be sleeping."

The postnatal caregiver came out from the kitchen. "Right? This boy is really easy to look after. After

peeing, he’ll twist his body to let us change his diaper, and he doesn’t cry like other children either."

Sophia remembered how he didn't cry as soon as he was born in the delivery room either. Instead, he

twisted his body and opened one eye to look at her and John. He even parted his lips into something

that resembled a smile.

Sophia didn't believe that a baby could smile as soon as it was born, but his expression at the time was

definitely not a crying one.

Recalling what happened, Sophia touched the baby’s face. “This little boy is probably here to enjoy a

blessed life."

That was why he was so happy to be born.

After Sophia finished the soup, John finally came down.

Now that the baby was born, William had talked to John last night and asked him to go back to the

company to start work. However, John refused at once.

When the child was not born yet, he wanted to accompany Sophia throughout the pregnancy, but now

when the child was born, he wanted to accompany the child.

He had only become a father recently, so he wasn’t bored of it yet. How could he let go of his child and

go back to work?

Old Mrs. Constance came back from a walk outside. When she saw John, she said, "How was your

talk with your dad yesterday? Did you guys decide when you’ll return to the company?"

"Yes," John replied. "When the child can walk, I’ll go back. There is no shortage of employees at the

company right now anyway."

Matilda frowned beside her.

When William and John were talking about this yesterday, she was listening to the side, and she never

heard them deciding for John to go back to the company after the baby could walk.

In fact, William was extremely anxious and wanted John to return to the company and start working

immediately.

Since when has John learned how to speak such nonsense?

It wasn’t clear whether Old Mrs. Constance believed John's words, but she simply said, "It will take a

long time for the baby to learn how to walk."
