Side Story 5: Paul VS Daryl (2)

Daryl took his hand, turned her face aside, and lightly kissed the corner of his lips. When she shot a rare gentle glance at him, his heart skipped a beat. And then, he pushed her onto the bed, intending to continue making love.

But the nightmare-like cry sounded again. As soon as the baby began to cry, Paul expressionlessly picked it up before Daryl could get up. He patted its back to coax it, but it did not stop crying. After Daryl took it over and coaxed it for a long time, it was still crying. It didn't want milk, and its diaper was clean. Daryl felt so anxious that she even wanted to call the hospital to ask about what was going on.

Paul silently took the baby from her arms. When she asked him what he intended to do in shock, he entered the study without answering. He held the crying baby in one hand, opened a cabinet with the other, and took out a cardboard box.

Daryl behind him was startled and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you taking it out in the middle of the night?"

Paul replied, "I want to abandon the baby."

Daryl was shocked.

The baby was crying so hard that it turned red all over. Seeing tears streaming down its wrinkled face, Daryl felt distressed. There were newspapers and towels in the cardboard box, so Paul pressed on them with one hand and then put the crying baby inside.

Unexpectedly, a miracle happened. The baby instantly stopped crying, contentedly smashed its lips, and then fell asleep.

Daryl was dumbfounded, wondering why it had suddenly stopped crying. This was too weird. When she tentatively picked it up, it instantly pursed its lips as if intending to cry. So, she quickly put it back. Immediately, it quietly fell asleep again.

The study fell into an eerie silence.

After a long while, Daryl said in disbelief, "Does it like the cardboard box?"

Paul calmly replied, Maybe.”

Daryl was speechless, wondering whether letting a baby sleep in a cardboard box would be regarded as child abuse. Fortunately, it was spacious enough. After putting several soft cushions and a small pillow in it, she placed the baby back inside, tucked it in, and moved the cardboard box next to the cradle.

Confirming the baby was sleeping comfortably, she sat on the edge of the bed in depression, wondering why her husband and son were both so weird. If outsiders saw the baby sleeping comfortably in a cardboard box, they might blame her for being ruthless. At the thought of this, she felt even more depressed.

Paul didn't think much. He sat down next to her and rubbed his chin against her neck. When she felt itchy and couldn't help laughing, he kissed her soft lips.

In order not to wake up the baby, Daryl held back her voice during the entire process with difficulty. And she could only hear them breathing heavily in the bedroom. Daryl felt soft all over her body, letting him do whatever he wanted to do to her. Her body was extremely sensitive, so she soon began to beg for mercy after failing to push him away.

They had finally had sex after a long time, so it lasted until midnight. But Paul was still full of energy and wanted more. After Daryl begged for mercy and ratified many unequal treaties, he finally let go of her, kissed the tip of her nose, and closed his eyes with her in his arms.

The next day, Paul asked the nanny to come over in the afternoon so that Daryl wouldn't be embarrassed. The baby was awake during the day but no longer cried in the cradle. Its eyes were shining like jewels. When Daryl teased it with a toy, it giggled.

Seeing the mother and son getting along so intimately and harmoniously, Paul unconsciously showed a gentle smile and suddenly felt having a child was not a bad thing.

Daryl said," Paul, come here. Look how happy your son is now."

Paul walked over and leaned over to look at the tender baby in the cradle. Its facial features gradually became more exquisite. Its parents were Daryl and Paul, so it would definitely grow up into a pretty man in the future.

When the baby giggled at Paul, its curved eyes immediately reminded him of Daryl's charming smile. So, he reached out to touch its soft little face. But the baby instantly curled its lips and burst into tears.

Paul was speechless.

Seeing him pick up the cardboard box, Daryl asked, "What are you doing?"

Paul replied, "Abandon the baby."

Although she knew he was joking, she was afraid he would really send the baby away in a fit of anger one day. The father and son seemed to be born at odds. The baby always grinned at her. But when seeing Paul, it always began to cry within a few seconds. She even suspected they had been enemies in their previous lives.

Every time seeing him picking up the cardboard box with a gloomy face, she was both amused and helpless. But the baby was always excited when seeing the box as if it were its best friend, making Paul even more unhappy.

And this almost made the couple forget about naming their son.

Daryl listed the names she had thought of before and asked Paul to think of a few more. While eating grapes on the sofa, he slowly said, "I think...’

Don't you dare to talk about Lily!'

Paul replied, "Fine."

Daryl thought the names she had listed were all too elegant and delicate. Paul was too quiet, so she hoped their son to be more active, gregarious, and outgoing.

Paul glanced at the names on the paper and suggested, "What about we draw lots?’

Daryl said, "Please don't be so casual."

No parent but Paul would name their child by drawing lots.

After they meditated for a moment on the sofa, Paul snapped his fingers and said, I got one."

Daryl's eyes lit up when she asked, "What?"

"Joy! I wish him a lot of happiness."

Seeing her speechless look, Paul was confused.

She sullenly stared at him and said in a gloomy voice, "I told you not to be so casual. It's your son instead of a pet! How can you give him such a name? Why don't you directly name him Happy? It sounds even happier."

Paul replied with a calm face, "Happy sounds like a good name."

She was so angry that she was at a loss for words.

After thinking for a long time, they couldn't think of a satisfactory name. So, they decided to choose one from Daryl’s list.

Daryl did not want other kids to laugh at her son's name after he went to school. When she had been a student, her classmates had given her a lot of nicknames because of her real name. The maliciousness had made her sad, so she suddenly realized a common name would be better.

After another discussion, they finally decided to name the baby Charles. It was a good name that was easy to remember. And they hoped their son to be strong and upright.

Then, Charles Thomas gradually grew up in the careful care of his parents.

###Sweet Extra Wedding (1)

Paula returned to the Thomas family's villa on the day before her wedding because she wanted to spend the last night at her natal home.

At 4:30 in the morning, Nico went out of her bedroom with a cosmetics case, knocked on the doors of Lucia's, Daryl's, and Sophie's bedrooms in turn, and then went to Paula's bedroom.

She would have a lot of things to do today. She had to do makeup for Paula and her friends and be her bridesmaid. But this was a happy event for her family, and she respected Burton the most, so she was walking at a brisk pace full of energy and joy although she knew she would be extremely busy today.

Paula was fast asleep, so she did not wake up after Nico knocked on the door for a long time. When Lucia came over with Daryl and Sophie, they saw her blankly waiting at the door with her cosmetics case. Daryl directly pushed the door open and led the others inside.

Paula on the bed was annoyed by the noise, so she turned over with a deep frown, covered half her head with the quilt, and continued to sleep.

Daryl understood the drowsiness of pregnant women but must wake her up. So, she lay on Paula's big bed, patted her, and repeatedly called her name.

Paula ignored her words and muttered with her eyes closed, "Burton, be quiet."

She had not sobered up, so she mistakenly thought that she was still in the Harris family's house and that it was Burton who was trying to wake her up.

Hearing this, Sophie helplessly smiled, pulled her up, and said, "Burton is dressing up now. Hurry up and get up. After you wash up and have breakfast, you will put on makeup. Don't you know it will take a long time to do makeup for a bride?"

Hearing this, Paula finally realized she would get married today, so she immediately sat up, blinked, and continuously rubbed her eyes. When she saw the people around her bed, she completely woke up and pounced to get the mobile phone on the bedside table. When she looked at the time, she found it was 4:50 in the morning.

She needed to have breakfast and dress up, so it was indeed late now. Paula scratched her head, threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and went into the bathroom.
