Chapter 517
Chapter 517
Cynthia stayed in the hospital for two more days. She had a natural delivery so she recovered quickly. She went directly to a postpartum confinement center after being discharged from the hospital.
Before she was discharged from the hospital, Liam finally named his two children.
The boy’s name was Andy and the girl’s name was Charlie.
He wished the two little ones would have a peaceful and happy life.
Cynthia and Isabella went to the same postpartum confinement center and their rooms were next door.
Since the babies were taken care of by nannies, they visited each other often when they were free so that they would not be bored during the following tens of days.
Liam and Anthony stayed with them, using the moms‘ rooms as their offices.
Ziv and Hunk used to deliver documents back and forth between Regalian Garden and Royal Blue Bay, Now, they commuted between the postpartum confinement center and the office.
Cynthia was worried that Liam would be too tired to deal with work and take care of her at the same time. So she asked him to go to work in the office during the daytime and come back to the postpartum confinement center at night.
But as long as Cynthia was out of sight for a moment, Liam couldn’t help but worry. He thought she could not recover so fast since she had suffered so much when giving birth to the babies.
So he refused without thinking. “No, I can’t work without you. Besides, I just decided that for your good, you must stay here for two months.”
Cynthia was shocked.
Her eyes widened in surprise. She asked uncertainly, “Are you serious? Who said that the confinement period is two months long? It should be 42 days only.”
Although the service in this postpartum confinement center was very good and Isabella was also here so Cynthia would not be too bored, she couldn’t stay here without going out for two months.
Cynthia said, “Anyway, I will not stay here for two months.”
Before Liam could say another word, Cynthia refused him directly.
Liam was not anxious. He put the computer on his lap down on the table and stood up. He walked to the bed.
Before Cynthia realized what was going on, he quickly bent down and kissed her pale lips.

@ G#.
Liam’s kiss didn’t allow her to say a word. She struggled and pushed his chest,
The next second, Liam grabbed her hands and put them above her head.
Cynthia, who had just given birth to two babies, was too weak to resist him.
After a while, Liam raised his head with ragged breathing. He stared at the woman beneath him with deep eyes.
He said softly, “Cynthia, listen to me. Look how weak you are. Staying here will be good for your health. Don’t worry. I will be with you.”
Hearing this, Cynthia pouted, obviously still a little dissatisfied.
She didn’t give up. “But I don’t want to stay here any longer. We can go home. It won’t make any difference.”
Liam said, “No.” When he was about to say more, Cynthia’s attitude greatly changed. She took
Liam’s arm.
She said, “Honey, after I come back home 42 days later, I will take care of myself. Please.”
She deliberately elongated the last word.
Cynthia rarely acted like a spoiled child. So now, Liam couldn’t refuse her at all.
So Liam had to agree with her.
At the same time, Anthony was much tougher than Liam in the room next door.
He said, “No, you are not like your sister. You have been in poor health after the first baby. I have to make sure this time you’ll be taken good care of. I have renewed the contract with the center.”
Like Liam, Anthony wanted Isabella to stay here for two months.
But Isabella also thought sixty days were too long. She kept refusing it. They had a quarrel about it for a long time.
In the end, Isabella was defeated because Anthony threatened her with Rina.
Rina was the name that Anthony gave to the baby.
He wanted the baby to have a happy life.
When Rina was just born, Anthony was worried that Isabella was too weak and breastfeeding would be bad for her so he didn’t allow Isabella to breastfeed the baby.
But Isabella believed that baby girls must have breast milk so she stubbornly chose to breastfeed Rina.
Anthony had no choice. But now he threatened Isabella with this.

To continue breastfeeding Rina, Isabella could only agree with Anthony’s demand that she stay here for sixty days.
As time went by, Isabella and Cynthia almost recovered.
They spent most of their time resting and feeding the babies.
Occasionally, Liam would hold the baby while working on some paperwork. He carefully learned how to take care of a little baby from the nurses.
One day, Jasmine and David came to the center to visit Cynthia. Watching Liam coax the baby, they were much relieved.
They thought that a Sullivan must love his family, including his wife and children.
Jasmine carried up the other baby and smiled happily at it.
After a while, Jasmine suddenly said meaningfully while teasing the baby, “Little guy, he’s your Daddy. Say Daddy.”
Jasmine was holding the boy and Liam was holding the girl.
Hearing what Jasmine said, Liam and Cynthia secretly exchanged a look.
Liam wondered what was going on with Jasmine today.
She was very nice to Cynthia usually but she taught the baby how to say Daddy first today.
Cynthia suffered a lot before giving birth to the babies. She thought the first thing that the babies learned should be how to say Mommy.
Liam was afraid that Cynthia would overthink it so he said to the baby girl in his arms, “Charlie, say Mommy.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liam felt a sharp pain in his forehead. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
When he looked up, he saw Jasmine right in front of him with a fierce look.
Jasmine said, “Teach the babies how to say Daddy now.”
Liam sighed slightly, “Grandma, what do you mean?”
Cynthia who was lying on the bed was also a little disappointed but she couldn’t show it. She had to swallow it and said like it didn’t matter, “Grandma, it doesn’t matter.”
Only then did Jasmine realize that what she had done could be easily misunderstood.
She shook her head with a smile, glanced at Cynthia, and sighed, “Silly girl, I’m doing this for your good. Whoever the child calls first will worry about the child more. Just think about it. If the two kids grow up and ask for you whenever they need anything, you will know what I just did means.”

Cynthia suddenly had a moment of enlightenment
It turned out that Jasmine wanted Cynthia to worry less about the babies so she said it on purpose.
Cynthia felt a little bit guilty for misunderstanding Jasmine. She knew how much Jasmine cared about her.
After Liam understood what Jasmine meant, he also taught the baby to say Daddy while playing with it.
As long as it would make Cynthia more relaxed, Liam didn’t mind taking on more responsibilities.
