Chapter 647
The baby resembled a tiny ball when it was first born. Jeanne stepped forward and carried the baby in her arms.
Nevertheless, because of this move of hers, the peacefully sleeping baby woke up and let out a loud wail.
Isabella had seen the baby's cries in the delivery room, so she was not startled by this.
Yet the group of people who were used to Ollie's obedience was completely taken aback.
It turned out that... babies did cry.
The baby's cries startled the entire group of people. Jeanne rocked the child in her arms and tried her best to coax the baby, but the baby cried even louder.
Jeanne couldn't figure out what she should do.
"Let me try," Philip suggested.
The baby stopped sobbing as soon as he had it in his hands. Before he could delight, the baby began to wail even more intensely, turning her sweet tiny face scarlet. She seemed to be venting her anger at these people for disturbing her sleep as she wouldn't stop crying.
Philip was similarly baffled.
He looked at Jeanne for help and said, "Who does this child have a temper like? Olivia and Draxton weren't like this when they were small."
At this moment, a man voiced out, "Let me carry her."
It was Jackson who said.
Although Philip wasn't too happy with the sound of it, the baby was sobbing too intensely. He was forced to give the child to Jackson after seeing his extended hand. At first, the child was still crying. Jackson smiled and rocked her gently, cooing, "Be good, baby girl. Don't cry, don't cry. Your grandpa is here for you."
The baby's cries then softened with time. The baby's soft hiccups were all that was left once the crying had subsided.
Jackson rocked gently a few more times, and the little thing finally stopped crying. Instead, she looked at him with her dark blue eyes that were filled with curiosity. Jeanne and Philip could no longer remain calm. They glared at Jackson as if they wanted to bore a hole through him.
Jackson grinned at them. His face beamed with smugness.
"Hey, looks like the child is closer to me!"
Philip opened his lips to speak, but he chose not to. His face was crimson red.
Jeanne didn't look good either. With a ferocious stare, she managed to say, "Give me the child. I'll bring her in for Olivia."
She came forward to hold the child.
Jackson had no intention of going against her wishes, so he carefully handed the baby to her.
The child suddenly felt like her hug had shifted. She was pouting and on the verge of crying again. Jeanne immediately panicked and coaxed her gently.
However, the baby didn't seem like she was going to stop crying. Instead, she frowned, looking very challenging to deal with. Isabella batted her eyes and whispered to Draxton, "This child's temper is definitely like Jake's. He has such a bad temper." Draxton's eyebrows furrowed as soon as he heard this. He refused to believe that he would fail to calm a baby down.
Hence, he went forward and said to Jeanne, "Mom, let me carry her."
Jeanne glared at him, "She won't even let me carry her. How would you be able to?"
Draxton narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at baby girl, saying, "It might work."
Jeanne handed the child to him.
And something magical happened. As soon as the child was in Draxton's arms, she stopped crying and looked at him with her watery eyes. Philip was instantly amused, "Heh, the little girl listens to her uncle."
The corners of Draxton's lips curled up into a smile as he looked at the little girl in his arms with a gentle expression.
Well, at least she knew her place!
Isabella was also surprised and gasped, "Hey, it really works!"
The two of them looked at each other and carried the child into the ward.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Jeanne was unhappy about it, but she still went to the ward to see Olivia.
Olivia was in good spirits and was talking to Jake in a hushed tone. When she saw a large group of people enter the room, she immediately looked over. When she saw the child in Draxton's arms, she could not help but laugh. "Oh, you're obedient in your uncle's arms."
Jake looked at Draxton with a burning gaze.
Draxton raised his eyebrows and asked him, "Do you want to hold her?"
Of course, Jake wanted to hold her! He walked over to Draxton nervously.
Then, he reached out with trembling hands and held his baby in his hands. Everyone looked intently at him as Jake had his baby in his embrace.
Then, a loud baby's cry sounded.
Jake was as rigid as a rock in an instant. His hands started to shake while he was holding the baby.
His expression was completely blank.
"God, you look hilarious!" Isabella gloated.
Jake couldn't care less. He just held the baby stiffly and helplessly, not daring to make a move.
Draxton went forward and carried the child back.
He looked at Jake in disdain and said, You're holding her too tightly. The baby is uncomfortable."
Then, he skillfully demonstrated how to carry a baby and make sure that she could feel comfortable.
Sure enough, in Draxton's arms, the baby's cries slowly became softer.
Isabella put away her phone and said to Jake with a smile, "It's fine. Don't worry, new dad. You'll have plenty of opportunities to practice in the years to come." Jake didn't feel comforted by her words at all.
This was because he caught a glimpse of Isabella recording him just now.
She caught his previous humiliating moment on camera.
Moreover, Isabella's eyes were clearly filled with amusement.
Jake's face turned red.
Draxton lay on the bed and started chuckling lightly.
"Have you decided on the name for the baby?" Isabella asked.
Olivia nodded and said, "I have. Jalivia Quillon."
Isabella was surprised. Olivia smiled sweetly and explained, "It's Jake and Olivia combined."
Isabella was instantly overwhelmed by their unfailing displays of affection for one another.
She looked at little Jalivia. She was indeed the real gem of her parents' love.
"What? What kind of name is this?" Philip was displeased at the sound of it.
"I think it's pretty good," Jackson said with a smile.
Philip was taken aback.
His face slightly paled as he asked again, "Then what's her nickname? Since I call you by your name, what should I call her then?"
Olivia smiled and said, "Dad, I've already decided on her nickname too. It will be Livvy."
This time, Philip kept his mouth shut.
Isabella restrained her laughter. She had herself draped over Draxton when she failed to hold back her giggles, This is really too fun."
"Livvy sounds beautiful to me. Only my daughter is worthy of this name. She will undoubtedly have a wonderful and bright future," Jake looked at Olivia proudly and affectionately as he said. Olivia grinned broadly and agreed, "I also think Livvy sounds really nice."
They looked at each other with affection and completely forgot about Livvy, who they keep talking about.
Draxton asked, "Are you going to hold Livvy? If not, I'll be taking her away.
