Chapter 2278

Author: Moonlight
Having a social butterfly stay at one place to look after someone else was torturous.

However, Henry Armstrong’s mother seemed determined despite what Georgie Clementine said. “What do you mean? You’ve just delivered. It’s my duty as your mother-in-law to look after you.”

Then, she turned her attention to her husband. “You must choose the best nannies and provide our daughter-in-law with as many nannies as the Batton family has.”

He instantly agreed.

“Is it necessary to compare?" Georgie scratched her head helplessly.

“It’s not a comparison," she replied. "You and Xyla are good friends. I don’t want you to feel like you’re not being treated just as well.”

“I won’t.”

“Well, I insist on it,” his mother said stubbornly.

“Thank you, Dad, Mom. And thank you, Honey,” Georgie said. She would never have thought that her mother-in-law would ever speak to her this way in the past.

Henry’s mother was considerate enough to think in her shoes.

    Georgie Clementine nodded as she subconsciously clasped her hands together. “Yes, it’s all my fault. I was too confident in myself.”“Don’t be that way anymore," Henry Armstrong's father advised. "Work is important, but your health is even more so. You shouldn’t work too hard even if you’re not pregnant or your body would be exhausted."Henry’s mother also nodded in agreement. “He's right. Our family has more than enough money to look after you even if you don’t work and stay home.“Women shouldn’t work so hard anyway,” she added, sighing at the situation before her.She never thought she’d one day be on such good terms with Georgie when she used to disapprove of her so much. She certainly never expected to be so concerned about her. She felt ashamed as she thought about the things she used to say to Georgie back then.Her daughter-in-law chuckled. “Okay, I’ll pay attention. Nonetheless, I’m not going to stay at home and not do something. I have my dreams and goals, and I’ve dev

    “He hasn't cried once since he was born. On the contrary, he smiled,” Henry Armstrong replied.His parents both had looks of disbelief in their eyes. “Are you serious?” they asked simultaneously.He nodded.“That’s truly unusual. People say that kids like this are born lucky,” his mother expressed in wonder.“That’s redundant," his father spoke up. "The baby was born into our family. Of course, he’s lucky.”“Not only is he lucky, but he can also bring good luck to our family,” she said.“Seriously?” his father questioned.She nodded silently.Even Henry was surprised to hear that.It didn't matter if there was any truth in it, but everyone felt even happier after hearing what she said.“That’s all the more reason we ought to protect this baby,” his father said.“Yeah, our grandson is a gift from God. We have to protect him,” she stated in agreement.The Armstrong family was in love with the newborn baby before their eyes, feeling reluctant to leave his side for a long while

    The mood in the ward suddenly became tense after the family discussion. They might have a solution for now, but it was still unsettling to know the baby had this particular blood type.“All right, let’s not talk about this," Henry Armstrong's mother said. "What’s the child’s name? Have you thought of one?”“I have a decent name in mind,” her husband told them, drawing the younger couple's curious gazes.Henry and Georgie Clementine had come up with the baby’s name long ago, but they still wanted to hear his suggestion if he had one.It would be meaningful to use his suggested name if they all liked it. He would surely be happy with that.“What do you think about the name Landon Armstrong?”“Not bad," Henry's mother said thoughtfully. "If they have a daughter in the future, we can call her Melinda. Landon and Melinda are such beautiful names.”Georgie and Henry both liked the name more than their initial choice.“Okay, I like it. Let’s go with Landon,” Georgie instantly said aft

    Everyone in the hospital knew that the Armstrong family treated Georgie Clementine like a queen.There wasn’t a pregnant woman in the obstetrics ward who wasn’t envious of her.That day, Landon Armstrong went through a thorough checkup before doctors deemed him fit to be discharged. The Armstrong family then brought him and Georgie back to the family’s house.The family had unanimously decided that she would complete the rest of her postpartum recovery at her in-laws’ home.Henry Armstrong carried his wife inside while his mother held Landon in her arms behind them upon arrival.The baby boy was small and soft, with a unique scent that only babies seemed to have. His grandmother felt her heart turn to mush for him and was even willing to die for the child.She even grew fonder of Georgie as a result of her newborn grandson.Henry carefully lowered his wife to the couch as his mother brought Landon over to sit beside her while they waited for the maids to bring his nannies upst

    Henry Armstrong’s father looked at Landon Armstrong affectionately.Right then, Jenny Armstrong walked in from the outside, releasing a long, helpless sigh when she saw her parents’ reaction.Then, she quickly sat down next to her father and turned to address her brother and Georgie Clementine. “Hey Brother, hey Georgie. Sorry, I couldn't pick you up at the hospital, but something came up at school.”“Don't worry about it. We understand," Georgie replied with a chuckle. "Dad and Mom were there to pick us up."Right then, Henry’s parents had their full attention on Landon and continued to lavish their affections on him.Jenny helplessly shook her head. “Human relationships are full of mystery. In the past, I wouldn’t dare imagine you two being so good to my new nephew,” she said playfully.“What’s the matter? Are you enjoying yourself a little too much now?” she added.Her parents awkwardly coughed and exchanged glances. Neither of them spoke.“Jenny, that’s all in the past. We

    It seemed as if Landon Armstrong could understand what was happening.His grandmother kept making all sorts of funny faces as she took pictures, making everyone else laugh out loud.“He is way too adorable!" Jenny Armstrong said. "How could such a perfect child exist? Mom, remember to send me the pictures. I want to show them off on my social media feed.”She used to get annoyed by people showing off their children’s pictures in the past. She couldn’t understand what they were thinking at the time. But since her nephew was born, she had turned into the very kind of person she disliked the most.She would take pictures and publish them on social media whenever he was by her side, receiving many likes for her posts each time.Anyone who saw him would adore him, commenting how adorable and handsome he was and how much they all wanted to hug him.Jenny found joy and pride in having such an adorable nephew.“Me, too,” Henry Armstrong and Georgie Clementine agreed simultaneously.Hen

    At night, Xyla Quest, Stanley Batton, Josh Batton, Annabeth Cates, Rachel Wood, and Sebastian Brenand gathered at the Armstrong family’s house to visit Georgie Clementine and the latest addition to the family.Henry Armstrong’s mother had prepared a feast for everyone, which they enjoyed immensely.After dinner, everyone moved to the living room, where two tables had been set up for poker.Xyla passed on poker in favor of heading up to the nursery, where she found Georgie observing while a few nannies fed bottled milk to Landon Armstrong.The entire room had a light milky scent, one that instantly melted Xyla's heart whenever she smelled it.Georgie was on her bed but quickly moved aside to pat the space next to her. "Here, have a seat."Xyla smiled and sat down. “Are you bored during postpartum recovery?”She instantly nodded in relief as if she’d finally met someone who understood her. “How could it not be boring? I’m practically dying of boredom over here.“I hope the rest o

    Xyla Quest merely shrugged in nonchalance. “I am fine, honestly. Don’t worry.”It was exhausting to work alone, but she would never show it in front of Georgie Clementine.She finally realized how much she had relied on her friend for assistance on multiple things when she took over all the workload in X Entertainment.Managing an entertainment company proved to be much more challenging than managing a real estate company.Xyla felt even more grateful to her friend from the bottom of her heart.Georgie naturally knew she was lying, but she didn’t comment on it. Instead, she nodded and smiled. “Wait for me, and I’ll be back very soon. It’ll only be one more month, so hang in there.”“You make it sound as if I can’t live without you,” Xyla replied with a chuckle.“All right, all right, you are a capable, strong woman, okay? Xyla is the best,” Georgie grinned at her.Xyla nodded in satisfaction. “Yes, that’s more like it.”Then, she shifted her attention to Landon Armstrong, noti

    Xyla quickly reached for Hannah’s hand. “Is that right? Hannah, you’re amazing…! You’re practically on par with Leon!”Hannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. “Not at all.”“Oh, cut it out. If you hadn’t helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?” Leon chuckled.“I guess I’ve lived up to my promise.” Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of. She earned her rightful seat next to Leon as the CEO of Dragon Group.Stanley also turned to look at Hannah. “Yes, Hannah’s very capable. She’s our family pride.”Hannah laughed. “I was lucky to be accepted by your family.”In fact, Hannah genuinely felt grateful toward the Batton family over the years she had spent with them.They had helped her through all the hardship she encountered when she was poor and down on her luck.Aft

    “Hannah, I’ve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?” Leon asked, serious.“Yes, I am…” Hannah answered without missing a beat.“I’ll protect you. From now on, you don’t have to worry about a single thing.” With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannah’s face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surreal…Hannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannah’s dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.But now… Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.Their driver sighed to himself while

    Over time, Leon’s feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannah’s mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasn’t he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless. There were many things she wanted to say, and yet, she couldn’t utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake. Sensing her trembling body, Leon tightened his e

    Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

    Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannah’s body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking. Everywhere hurt badly.At that moment, Hannah felt like a fragile doll made of clay that had been forcefully slammed hard against the ground until it broke into small pieces.Her mind went blank from the stinging agony.She braced herself and looked at the cold eyes staring back at her, filled with terror. Stammering, she asked, “Mr. Gray… What is the meaning of this?” “What’s the meaning of this? Ha! Don’t you know what’s good for you? You dumb b*tch… You’re lucky that I set my sights on you!”“How dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!”“Even when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!”“Do you think I’m stupid? That I can’t think? Do you honestly think I’d fall for your lies again and again?” Raymond went, his tone steadily rising into a furious roar.He then got on o

    Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasn’t about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didn’t leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond Gray… Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain. She really didn’t know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly. Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.

    A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. “Ms. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs today…”“He lost his temper and claimed he’d destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another song…” The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there weren’t many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didn’t respect women at all… Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality. One could almost describe him as being a pervert.There was once when an owner of a bar offended a female internet celebrity he was dating. He directly hired

    Hannah Roland smiled politely at Lina Cohen. “Nice to meet you… Thank you in advance!”“No problem… Do let me know if there’s anything you don’t like about your makeup too,” Lina said.Hannah nodded. “Okay, sure…”“By the way… Do all the signers here get such good treatment? I’m surprised we’re even assigned our own makeup artists,” Hannah asked carefully as she wasn’t aware about things like these..However, Lina smiled without answering Hannah’s question directly. She held Hannah’s hand casually the next second, “Come here. I’ll start doing your makeup now…”Hannah nodded…Lina was a very professional makeup artist. She took an hour to finish Hannah’s makeup.An hour later, Hannah’s appearance transformed completely.Lina permed Hannah’s long, black hair into natural-looking curls.Hannah had intricate peach-colored makeup on her face which made her appear lively and youthful.Once Lina was done with Hannah’s makeup, she happily retrieved a long, white dress from a clothes

    Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven o’clock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensen’s office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation. He’s fine with my decision to pay your salary in advance. In fact, he even told me I did a good job…”“He said you can sing without worrying about a single thing… If you need any help in the future, do let us know…” Rihanna added.Hannah felt glad when she heard this, and became teary-eyed. “Thank you… Please thank our big boss for me too.
