Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1090: Mommy Is Still Just a Little Girl~
Justin Xavier wiped his hands on his pants pocket, his handsome back casually leaning against the door. He looked towards the quiet hallway, but his peripheral vision was still attracted by the rustling sound of clothes over there.
It’s not just good-looking, it’s exceptionally good-looking.
He swallowed hard.
Leah Thorne lifted her clothing to feed little Vivi, but with a "hiss," she instantly straightened her legs in pain.
"Madam, endure it a bit, it will get better once you get used to it," the maternity assistant comforted.
But five minutes passed, and the maternity assistant shook her head, saying, "Madam, it’s not working; little Vivi didn’t get any milk. You should try to relax."
Leah clutched the maternity assistant’s hand tightly, tears streaming down her face. She cried, "It hurts, it hurts so much..."
Seeing her cry, the maternity assistant quickly reached out to wipe her tears, "Madam, my dear lady, you mustn’t shed tears during confinement; it’s bad for your eyes, stop crying quickly."
Justin Xavier heard Leah’s cry and quickly turned his gaze. It probably really hurt a lot; the small figure on the bed was trembling.
Feeling deeply hurt, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Forget it, if she can’t eat it, let’s just feed her formula. It doesn’t have to be breastfeeding."
"Alright, sir, I’ll take little Vivi and feed her some formula first."
The maternity assistant took little Vivi away, and Justin Xavier walked to the bedside where Leah’s face was still marked with tears, looking very pitiful.
Justin Xavier reached out to wipe away the tears and kissed her forehead, whispering softly, "If it hurts too much, just leave it. Many babies nowadays drink formula, they don’t have to be breastfed."
Leah pouted, shaking her head, "No, I just hurt too much earlier. Once I get used to the pain, I’ll try again."
Looking into her brave eyes, Justin Xavier felt utterly moved, "Yeah, you’re the bravest and the best; you can surely do it."
Leah pulled the blanket up, covering below her shoulders, her little hand quietly covering the aching spot under the blanket. She felt her eyes close shut, wanting to sleep.
"Get some sleep," Justin Xavier affectionately patted her little head.
"Mm." Leah closed her eyes.
...
Leah fell asleep, meanwhile little Vivi started to cry.
The maternity assistant held and comforted little Vivi, but could not soothe her. The tiny little infant cried out loud, her small face turned bright red from crying.
Holding a bottle in hand, filled with milk formula, the maternity assistant said, "Sir, little Vivi is too smart. Just fed her a little bit of mother’s milk, now she absolutely refuses to drink from the bottle. I offered it to her mouth, she just spit it out. Now her stomach is hungry again, hence crying so hard."
"Shall we let Madam try again, to let the baby have a bit of milk?" the maternity assistant probed.
The maternity assistant was a golden standard in high society, experienced countless times in aristocracy households. No status was given to women, after childbirth they must breastfeed; after all, a mother’s status rises with her child, without concern over whether the woman is in pain or not.
But the maternity assistant could also see that this gentleman cherished his wife like a precious treasure, unwilling to let her suffer.
"Leah is already asleep, don’t wake her up. Hand little Vivi over to me, I’ll hold her," Justin Xavier approached.
"Sir, are you sure you can do it?"
Justin Xavier carefully took little Vivi in his arms, looked down at his daughter who cried loudly, nodding, "I can."
Little Vivi cried and sweat all over. Justin Xavier slightly lifted the corner of a goose-yellow blanket, holding her while pacing the corridor, speaking softly, "Shh, little Vivi, don’t cry so loudly, mommy is sleeping, don’t wake her up." "Little Vivi, mommy bore great pain to bring you into this world, now that you’re born, you should be considerate and tender to mommy, formula milk is very tasty, just drink a bit of it. When mommy wakes up, she’ll feed you again, okay?"
Justin Xavier raised his daughter higher, tickling her soft little face with his finger, whispering words only this father and daughter could hear, "Little Vivi, mommy is still very young, even a little girl, it’s her first time being a mom, in the future you need to show more understanding. Mommy isn’t used to breastfeeding, feels pain, when you nibble, be gentle, especially don’t bite mommy, normally even if daddy... uses a little force, mommy would cry."
"Little Vivi, can you cooperate a bit now, drink some of the formula?"
Little Vivi, "...Waaa, waaa..." unable to understand.
At this point, two nurses walked from the corridor, side-glancing at the tall handsome man holding the baby with one arm, the arch of his back displaying expansive arm strength, oozing masculinity.
Even though the man’s knitwear and trousers showed wrinkles, it didn’t affect his inherent elegance and refined charm. He lowered his gaze, focusing on the baby, his sculpted profile strikingly handsome, his low soft voice coaxing the infant like the most magical night tunes.
The corridor’s royal-style lamp cast warmly from above his head. As a father, he radiated an alluring magnetism, unique to mature men.
The two nurses glanced over, blushing.
"I heard this is Bayside’s richest man, President Xavier, he truly has charisma."
"Hey, don’t get any ideas, President Xavier’s wife is Leah Thorne, Beauty Thorne. Their relationship is so good, just now Beauty Thorne fell asleep after giving birth and President Xavier was especially nervous, afraid of having a daughter but losing his wife."
"What kind of ideas could I have, for a man as attractive as President Xavier, we can only admire from afar."
The two nurses chatted playfully as they left.
...
Justin Xavier continued soothing little Vivi, not knowing how long had passed, her cries softened, the tiny infant hungry, rotating her small head, reaching her little tongue to lick the corner of the blanket.
Justin Xavier smiled, entered the ward, "Nanny, little Vivi is ready to eat, prepare a bit of formula, I’ll feed her."
"Alright." The maternity assistant quickly prepared half a bottle of milk.
Justin Xavier placed the bottle’s nipple to little Vivi’s mouth, she licked it with her tongue before finally taking it into her mouth and sucking vigorously.
The maternity assistant laughed watching, "Sir, this little Vivi has a temper. We couldn’t soothe her, only you can, that’s what they call father-daughter connection."
Justin Xavier sat in a chair, it was also his first time holding such a small baby, but his left arm supported her snugly in the crook, holding the bottle skillfully, hugging the baby like a pro. He smiled proudly, his otherwise calm expression showing a faint trace of pride, "Exactly."
Now little Vivi was famished, greedily sucking the bottle, once satiated, she opened her mouth wide, giving Justin Xavier a sweet smile.
...
Once she was full, little Vivi fell asleep, the maternity assistant prepared to keep watch through the night.
"Sir, you’ve had a long day; you should go back to rest too. I’ll be here tonight, come back tomorrow morning," the maternity assistant whispered.
Justin Xavier shook his head, "No need, I’ll stay here."
