"It's okay. You'll have a daughter in a few years, then you won't have to envy me anymore," Jane said with a smile, gazing at the baby. "Your little guy is wonderful too. Whether it's a son or daughter, all kids are precious."

Nowadays, most families only have one or two children, and they're cherished regardless of gender.

Some only-child daughters have one child after marriage, and that child becomes the grandchild of two entire families. Whether it's a boy or girl, they're doted on by everyone— totally different from the old days when boys were preferred.

The baby needed a diaper change, and Jane helped take care of it.

Once she was done, she handed the baby back to Serenity and said, "Let's lie him down."

Jane said, "Sonny's in kindergarten now."

Serenity nodded. "He's counting the days to summer break. He keeps saying he's going to your place to see Titus. How's Titus doing, by the way?"

Jane smiled. “He's doing great. His master takes good care of him, so we don't worry. I videocalled him a few days ago, and he mentioned Sonny. Said they should play together during summer break. He even asked me which park Sonny's sister was at so he could go too. He wanted to swing on the swings with Sonny and pick up girls. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. His master tried to explain it to him, but he didn't get it. He whispered to me that he didn't mind how many sisters they picked up he just wanted to bring some home. But he made it clear that Avah is still his favorite."

Serenity burst out laughing.

Sonny had asked Liberty the same thing, and when Liberty told Serenity, she couldn't stop laughing either.

When Serenity was a kid, she once asked her mom why she wasn't in a family photo with Liberty. Her mom joked that Serenity was picked up from a park while swinging on a swing.noveldrama

Back then, parents didn't explain where babies came from. They'd say things like the baby was found on the roadside or by the river.

Her mom's version was that she was brought home from the park.

And she believed it.

It wasn't until she got older that she realized her mom was just teasing her.

So when Sonny asked where he came from, she told him the same story.

One generation teasing the next-classic.

"Has Titus gotten taller?" Serenity asked. "His parents must be tall."

Jane nodded. "He's at least half a head taller than kids his age. He's been learning martial arts, and his master makes sure he eats well and stays healthy. It's no surprise he's taller than the others."

They'd never seen Titus's biological parents, but it was obvious he got strong genes and a good upbringing.

"Sonny's taller too. He used to look a little chubby, but now he's grown into it."

Jane smiled. “Kids are cutest with a little baby fat. I love chubby babies-they're so squeezable."

As they were chatting, there was another knock at the door.

It was Zachary, and he had the two kids with him.

Enzo had started crying downstairs when he couldn't find his mom. Avah didn't cry, but once she saw her brother being taken upstairs, she squirmed out of Grandma York's arms and toddled after him, asking Uncle York to carry her too. It was clear-Avah was on a mission to find her mom.
