Chapter 1240: His Official Name Is Daniel Holmes! His Nickname Is An’an
Because it was a natural birth, Lily Turner was discharged from the hospital on the third day and went home with the baby.
Easton Holmes initially wanted to hire two maternity nurses, one to take care of Lily Turner and the other to care for the baby, but his idea was jointly opposed by Amelia Linton and Sophia Wood.
Both of them believed that hiring one maternity nurse was enough, as they could certainly help the nurse take care of both the baby and Lily, especially since there was also Aunt Li at home.
Faced with the firm stance of the two mothers, Easton Holmes had to give up the idea of hiring two maternity nurses and settled for hiring a top maternity nurse.
The arrival of the baby made the house unusually lively.
Of everyone at home, Callix Linton was the happiest person. Now, not only did he have a grandson and a daughter, he also had an adorable great-grandson. Such happy days were beyond what he had dared to dream of before.
Half a month later, the Taylor Family finally learned about the arrival of the baby.
Upon hearing the news, Aiden Taylor and Harriet White rushed over to visit the Linton Family with gifts in hand.
Meeting the Taylor couple made Sophia Wood feel somewhat awkward, but luckily the presence of the baby eased the tension and awkwardness among them.
"The child is so cute, the eyes and nose look like Easton’s, the mouth like Lily’s." Holding the baby, Harriet White commented on the baby’s appearance as she admired him.
Aiden Taylor leaned in for a closer look at the baby and nodded in agreement, "Indeed, the eyes and nose look as if they were carved out of the same mold as Easton’s."
"This child will surely grow up to be an outstanding young man," he confidently added while looking at the adorable baby.
"What should this child call us?" Harriet suddenly remembered and asked what the baby should call her and her husband. It wasn’t out of pettiness; she genuinely felt a bit confused.
Upon hearing this, Sophia Wood immediately replied, "Of course, the child should call you Grand-aunt and Grand-uncle."
Since the couple were the daughter’s uncle and aunt, naturally, the daughter’s child should call them Grand-aunt and Grand-uncle.
Her daughter’s relationship with the Taylor Family hadn’t taken further strides, but if the birth of the baby could change their relationship, she would be more than happy to see it happen and would love to facilitate it. Her long-standing wish was for the daughter to recognize her ancestry.
"Pfft! Grand-old man?"
Lily Turner knew that her mom meant Grand-uncle, not Grand-old man, but she couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the misunderstanding.
After bursting into laughter, she quickly realized her reaction was somewhat inappropriate and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand.
Upon hearing "Grand-uncle," Aiden Taylor and Harriet White also thought of "Grand-old man," and their reactions were also quite strong, but not due to the latter term; it was because of Sophia Wood’s intentions and sentiments.
"Baby! From now on, he’s your Grand-uncle, and I’m your Grand-aunt." To ease Lily Turner’s embarrassment, Harriet spoke to the baby.
Aiden Taylor was very happy, due to Sophia Wood’s understanding, Lily Turner’s acceptance, and even more so because of the little baby Harriet held in her arms. He was overjoyed today, "Baby! Grow up quickly, then Grand-uncle can take you out to play."
"By the way, what is the baby’s name?" He had been calling the baby by generic terms for quite a while without knowing the actual name.
"His full name is Daniel Holmes! His nickname is An-An!" When Aiden Taylor asked about the baby’s name, Lily Turner immediately put down her hand from her mouth and replied earnestly.
