Everyone gazed at the impossibly adorable baby with eyes full of endless tenderness. But this child...
All six husbands glared at Adrian Night in perfect unison, demanding, "Why is he yours?!"
Yep, this baby was Adrian Night’s among the seven of them. Even though he was tiny, his expression, brows, and face looked like they’d been copied straight from Adrian’s mold.
"It’s honestly unreal—this baby is way too magical!" Yvonne Li couldn’t help blurting out. She’d heard the palace midwives say most babies only ‘settle’ their features after three months, so you can’t tell who they resemble at birth. But this one, you could tell instantly.
Adrian Night just raised his brows and shrugged. "Hey, what can I say? I’m amazing!"
"Beat him up!" The six husbands, seeing Adrian show off like that, instantly lost it and started pummeling him with their fists.
Watching this, Ivy Shen frowned, totally helpless. Weren’t they all getting along so well before...?
Suddenly—"Hee hee hee!" A silvery, bell-like giggle burst out from the angelic baby.
Everyone stopped mid-beating and turned their heads. The little prince, cradled in Madam Jin’s arms, was kicking his feet, waving his tiny hands, and grinning wide enough to melt the whole tent. Just seeing him like that warmed their hearts right up.
"Come here, let Second Daddy hold you!" Lucian Vane dashed over, carefully scooped the baby out of Madam Jin’s arms, and started playing with him. The baby giggled right back, totally delighted.
"Fifth Daddy wants a cuddle too!" Butterfly Rogue rushed over, eager to join in.
"Here, Third Daddy brought you a welcome gift! Come let Third Daddy hold you!" Caleb Miles whipped out a huge rainbow gemstone, instantly filling the tent with sparkling colors. The baby saw this and reached out, waving at Caleb.
Everyone was stunned—how old is this kid again? Already recognizing treasure at such a young age?!
Caleb Miles just laughed, tucked the gemstone into the baby’s bundle, and picked him up to play. "Ha! You really did inherit Third Daddy’s best trait!"
"Hey, when did you get such a gorgeous gem? I never saw you give me one!" Ivy Shen pouted, annoyed. When did this guy stash away such a treasure and keep it hidden from her?
"Hehehehe..." Caleb Miles laughed awkwardly. "Isn't this basically giving it to you? If I give it to our son, it's the same as giving it to you!"
"This kid is seriously advanced," Yvonne Li said with a smile. She’d never seen a newborn act like this before.
"Waa waa waa!" Maybe he'd played enough—suddenly the little guy started bawling, and the force of his cries was like thunder rolling through the tent.
Caleb Miles panicked, totally flustered by the thunderous wailing. But Eli Crane walked over, scooped the baby out of his arms, and said, "Come on, Seventh Daddy will take you to get some milk!" He planted a big kiss on the baby's cheek, then cheerfully and carefully handed him to Ivy Shen.
"Wifey, wifey!" Butterfly Rogue and Liam Willow, who hadn’t gotten a chance to touch the baby yet, rushed over to watch him nurse, unable to resist stroking his tiny hands and legs.
