Chapter 838
The baby was extremely cute when she was sleeping soundly in Pierre's arms. She was his daughter, a new life, as well as a life that Selena had given birth to by risking her own. The day after the birth of her daughter, Selena gave Jude a video call. "Jude, I have also given birth to my baby! I have another daughter now!" She delivered the good news to Jude.
"Really? I suppose I have found my son his future wife! Haha! How is she? How much does she weigh? Is she pretty?"Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
"It doesn't matter if she's pretty or not! She will be part of your family, so you shouldn't be picky!"
"Of course I won't! I'll accept her even if she's as ugly as a toad!"
"Oh, it's your son who is ugly!"
Pierre stood beside Selena while watching the two friends engage in a banter, which was rare.
"Hey, Selena, what is my daughter-in-law's name? Have you come up with a name for her?"
It wasn't until then that Selena realized that Pierre and her had never thought about it. In fact, not even Juniper was properly named. "Nope. We haven't decided on one."
"Charles and I are racking our brains for one, but we haven't decided on one either. It's so annoying! Hey, since Charles isn't around, let me tell you that he cried when I gave birth to my boy! Hahaha!" Jude's cockiness could be sensed by Selena even through the screen. "You know him. I have never seen him cry, but he did! He cried despite being the manliest of men! Oh, he must have felt so sorry for me!" Jude seemed so proud of herself.
"I see..." Because Selena had just given birth, the nurse forbade her from using the phone too much. Therefore, she hung up after a few more words with Jude.
On the other hand, Pierre had no idea what they had spoken about since he went to the washroom earlier. When he returned, he noticed Selena was staring at him. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Pierre could feel his scalp tingling.
"Jude told me Charles cried when she was giving birth."
Upon hearing that, Pierre burst into laughter. "D*mn! That man sure is a wimp! I never expected him to cry!". After laughing for some time, he sensed a heated gaze on him, which prompted him to stop. "He might have cried because he's too old to be able to stand witnessing such an occasion."
"Those were tears of joy! It was also because he felt sorry for Jude after she went through hell and back to give birth to his baby." Selena pouted. "He's unlike a certain someone who has a heart of stone." "Why would you accuse me of that?" Pierre was feeling indignant.
"Did you cry?" Selena pressed for answers.
"I-I didn't! Men need to be strong! H-How could they cry at the drop of a hat?" Pierre stuttered in denial.
Hearing that only irked Selena even more. "How dare you say that? I suppose you mean to tell me that you didn't cry because childbirth isn't enough to elicit such a response from you. You don't even feel sorry for me!"
"Of course I do!" Pierre had a feeling that Selena had become even more unreasonable after childbirth.
"You don't! You don't, because I say
so!" Selena lay down, ignoring him. However, both of them put that squabble behind them soon enough, for there was a lot to do during the postpartum recovery period, Thus, Selena was too busy to even hold a grudge.
The perineal tear caused her much pain, and medicine also had to be applied regularly on the wound. When the doctor rubbed her belly to squeeze out the remaining blood in her body to ensure better recovery, she couldn't help but yelp in pain.
All the while, Pierre could only watch in silence. Other than staying by her side, he couldn't do anything to help. By the third day, Selena was starting to produce breast milk. Her breasts were swelling so much that it gave her a lot of pain.
