Chapter 2083
Roxanne spent only three days in the hospital before returning to the manor. The second delivery felt like simply unloading goods, a stark contrast to the first. Her body felt lighter, and her hormonal balance was restored. Sonya, however, prepared an overwhelming amount of supplements, prompting Roxanne to enlist her husband's help in moderating her mother-in-law's enthusiasm for nutritional excess. Soon after, she began focusing on regaining her figure. The rest of her time was dedicated to Seward and Noreenโa hard-earned respite after her duties as a new mother.
This was largely due to the twins' pampered existence. The entire Farwell family revolved around them. Lucian diligently cared for the twins, carrying them to bask in the sun to treat jaundice, feeding them at precise intervals, and changing their diapersโa task he found enjoyable. He even instructed Archie, Benny, and Estella in infant care, accurately identifying their different cries. After school, the older children diligently taught the twins to speak and recite poems, seemingly oblivious to their tender age.
Sonya's role was dedicated to bathing the babies. She meticulously followed a precise routine, paying close attention to water temperature, lighting, and the bathing process itself. She hummed lullabies during bath time, her mood brightening whenever the babies laughed. Sharing photos and praising her grandchildren became a daily ritual.
Elias, usually uptight yet amiable, struggled to find his place. His aspiration to be a good grandfather was thwarted by a lack of opportunity, until he settled into the role of bottle sterilizer and formula preparer.
The twins thrived, their fair, chubby features drawing admiring glances daily. Madilyn, their godmother, frequently visited, taking over Lucianโs childcare duties as if practicing for the future. Jonathan, their godfather, also diligently learned childcare skills from Lucian. Lorraine and other elders from the Queen and Lann families also visited frequently, often engaging with Archie, Benny, and Estella when the twins were asleep or unavailable.
All five children inherited exceptional genes, possessing beauty, intelligence, and talent. Their elders, filled with envy, pressured Jonathan and James to have children of their own. Jonathan and Madilyn enthusiastically began trying for a baby, while James, still single, faced a more daunting prospect. However, Elektra's increasingly obvious pursuit of James was not unnoticed.
Roxanne reacted with amusement, playfully urging her husband to subtly encourage the pair, hoping to end Elektra's pursuit. The Farwell family basked in daily laughter. Time flew, and six months passed in the blink of an eye.
