Chapter 563
“Thanks to Fenna, Wanda could only anxiously wait for the police and ambulance to arrive. I can’t imagine what would’ve happened if the ambulance had been just a few minutes late! “The despair and fear Wanda felt at that moment made me wish I could kill myself hundreds of times over!
“I’ve lost Wanda’s trust after this incident. She was close to filing for divorce.” Nathan’s words dripped with bitterness and anguish. “Luckily, we have a son, or Wanda would have left me.” Cameron’s anger gradually subsided, his voice quiet as he apologized, “Nate, I’m sorry. On behalf of Fenna, I apologize to you and Wanda.
“She went too far this time. I’ll make sure to discipline Fenna properly in the future, but for now-”
Nathan cut him off, “She’s an adult. She needs to face the consequences when she messes up.”
Cameron hesitated. “But-”
Understanding Cameron’s concern for Fenna, Nathan composed himself and spoke slowly, “Fenna is close friends with the President’s daughter. You don’t need to worry about her living conditions or food. No one dares to mistreat her.”
Feeling troubled, Cameron buried his face in his hands and sighed deeply. His expression clouded with melancholy.
After venting their pent-up emotions, a heavy silence settled between them.
Suddenly, Nathan rose from his seat, surprising Cameron, who glanced up at him.
“My son is back. Would you like to meet him?” Nathan asked gently.
A smile brightened Cameron’s face. “Of course!”
“Come on.” Nathan led the way.
Upstairs, they entered the nursery. The maternity nurse cradled the baby in her arms, feeding him formula.
Cameron and Nathan paused a few steps away from the baby, observing him with fascination as he drank his milk. They were completely engrossed in the moment. A smile crept onto their faces. The soft cooing noises the baby emitted while feeding were utterly heart-melting. Nathan felt his heart swell with affection.
Overcome with curiosity, Cameron asked, “How old is he?”
“Over fifty days,” Nathan replied.
“That’s nearly two months, but why does he still seem so tiny?”
“He was born prematurely.”
Cameron’s smile stiffened as he remembered Fenna’s mistake, which had nearly cost the baby’s life. Flooded by sadness, he mustered a smile and said, “I’ll go greet Wanda and then I’ll leave.”
Nathan led him downstairs once more.
In the garden gazebo, they spotted Mila, who was talking with Gary and Florence, deliberating over the baby’s name.
Gary and Florence were immersed in flipping through the dictionaries, deeply engrossed in their task.
As Cameron and Nathan approached, Cameron greeted cheerfully, “Hey Gary, Florence, and Wanda, keeping busy?”
Gary and Florence glanced up and greeted Cameron politely, “Hey Cameron, good to see you. Come, join us. We’re brainstorming names for our grandson. Any ideas?”
Cameron chuckled awkwardly as he settled into a seat. “I’m afraid I’m not good with that.”
Meanwhile, Nathan sat beside Mila
and
obsesed intently on her,
l.ne
observing her mood and behavior.
He asked tentatively, “Wan
still
haven’t settled on a name you like?”
Mila stayed composed, shaking her head as she continued to flip through the dictionary.
Nathan leaned closer to her and whispered, “Regarding Fenna’s matter, it will be handled impartially.”
Mila pursed her lips, looking indifferent as she nodded.
Cameron noticed how Nathan behaved around Wanda and it touched him.
He wondered whether a man’s
excessive love for his wife was always good. Even though Nathan held a position of power in society, he acted humble and carefu whenever he was with Wanda.
At that moment, Gary pointed at a word in the dictionary, his excitement apparent as he exclaimed, “This name is good, Evan Hoffis.”
“Evan Hoffis? That’s not half bad,” Florence said.
Yet, Mila frowned slightly.
“The name has a nice ring to it,” Cameron remarked.
Nathan glanced at Mila and asked in a gentle tone, “Wanda, do you like it?”
