Chapter 341

Grace carried the child and sat in the back seat.
Brian’s face darkened. He craned his neck to look in the rearview mirror, but he did not see anything.
He had no choice but to start the car and drive to the hospital.
Austin was still sound asleep. Grace carried her out of the car. Brian quickly locked the car and strode over, his heart suddenly pounding.
He was tall and could easily see Austin’s face.
Looking at that chubby little face, his heart seemed to melt instantly, and his throat moved unconsciously.
He reached out and wanted to carry the child, but Grace walked very quickly with her head lowered.
The appraisal center was on the second floor. There were many people waiting for the elevator. Grace did not want to carry the child to squeeze into the elevator. Just as he was about to take the stairs up, Brian grabbed her hand. “Give me the child. What if you fall on the stairs later?”
He finally found a suitable reason to take over the child.
It was Brian’s first time carrying a child. He was still a baby. When he first received it, he was at a loss.
He imitated how Grace carried the child and held her in his arms.
From Grace’s angle, his cold side profile became gentle, and there seemed to be a gentle smile hidden in his eyes. Grace was slightly absent-minded. If they were together, they should be a very happy family, right?
Brian should also be a good father, right?
Tears welled up in her eyes.
“Grace, Grace, stop daydreaming. It’s impossible for the two of you to be together. If he marries Louise, he’ll never be Austin’s father in this lifetime.”
Austin was too cute. She closed her eyes lightly, but she could see his long eyelashes that were like fans.
Her little nose was also pink and tender, and her small mouth was moist. Maybe because she had eaten milk before sleeping, at this moment, her small mouth was still pouting slightly. It was simply adorable enough to melt his heart. He subconsciously asked, “What is my daughter’s name…”
He cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment. “What’s her name?”
“Austin.”
Austin, Austin, Brian repeated her name several times and even added the word ‘Huo…
Austin Francis. It was a good name.
Brian blinked and hid the excitement in his eyes. He deliberately commented in an indifferent tone, “Austin symbolizes harmony, auspiciousness, and longevity. It’s a good name. It’s cadence and catchy. I didn’t expect you to be so good at naming.”

Grace looked at him. “Of course I have to take care of my own daughter.”
“Come on, let’s go up.”
Brian nodded and kept his gaze on Austin’s face.
They were not the only ones who came for the test. There was also a queue in front of them. Brian was very happy with this phenomenon because he could carry the baby longer.
At this moment, Austin stretched and rubbed her head twice before opening her eyes.
Brian’s heart skipped a beat. It was as if he was welcoming the first time the father and daughter met. He subconsciously sat up straight and looked at her.
Grace saw the change in his expression and frowned. “What are you doing?”
Brian looked at her and then down at the child. “She’s awake.”
Austin was already staring at him with her black grapes-like eyes. Her eyes were round as she stared at him without blinking with a hint of curiosity.
