Married at First Sight

"Okay, take care of him. Jane, stay at my place for a few days. We can talk. This confinement period is so boring."

Although Jasmine and Elisa dropped by often, and Liberty would call or video chat at night, Serenity still felt bored most of the time.

She slept a lot—so much that she felt wide awake and couldn't fall asleep

anymore.

And if she slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep at night, Zachary would take over caring for the baby.

Other than breastfeeding, Serenity barely had to lift a finger. It was just eat, sleep, repeat― like she was being raised like a pig during confinement.

Jane chuckled. "You don't even need to ask. We're planning to stay at your place for a few days anyway."

"You're bored because you've got Zachary taking care of everything-the baby, the house, you. All you have to do is eat, sleep, and recover. That kind of life every day would bore anyone."noveldrama

Serenity smiled. "You're right."

Jane said, "When I was doing confinement, Ben was just like Zachary. But we had two kids. Avah wasn't too fussy, but Enzo cried a lot. If Avah cried from hunger, I had to feed both at once. I didn't want to leave them with a sitter, so I did everything myself. I stayed busy and the days flew by."

Jane had twins. Ben felt bad for her, so he insisted she rest for two full months. She didn't return to work until the twins were six months old. Before that, she could drop by the office, but she wasn't allowed to actually work.

"Let me see the baby."

Jane hadn't seen the baby since she came in.

She leaned over to check and smiled when she saw the baby was waking up. "Looks like the baby knows Aunt Jane is here."

She pulled out a red brocade box and handed it to Serenity. "Here's my gift for the baby."

Then she took out a red envelope and tucked it beside the baby. "This is your meet-and-greet red envelope from Auntie. Be a good baby, okay? Play lots during the day and sleep well at night."

Serenity didn't hesitate to accept the gift and red envelope.

Jane gently picked up the baby, studied his little face, and said to Serenity, "He looks more like Zachary, but I see you in him too. It's like he got the best of both of you. He's going to be so handsome when he grows up. Both of my kids look a lot like Ben. I carried them for months, and they come out looking just like their dad. Doesn't seem fair."

Serenity laughed. "That's just how it feels. They look like both of you, but yes, Avah does resemble Ben a bit more."

Jane replied, "Their looks aren't settled yet. It might change as they grow." "True. Where are your two kids? Weren't you all coming together?” Serenity asked. "They're still downstairs. Grandma York came home and immediately scooped Avah up. If my grandma had come too, she'd be on edge, worried Grandma York would take Avah."

Old Lady Johnson was always worried Grandma York would steal away her greatgranddaughter.

The two older ladies usually got along-they were good friends—but when it came to Avah, Old Lady Johnson guarded her like treasure.

When Grandma York returned, she joked about how her old friends treated her like a thief.

"Your grandma loves girls," Serenity said with a laugh. "Avah is seriously adorable. Who wouldn't love her? Her eyes are bright and playful, her features are delicate-she's gorgeous. I dream of having a daughter like her. Jane, I'm so envious that you got both a son and daughter in one go."

Jane smiled. "My brother and I are twins too-boy and girl. Twins run in the family. It's genetics, so you can't be too jealous."
