Yana’s eyes swelled up again. Natalie held the baby and smiled. “Yana, you should know Hans cares deeply about you. Stop crying, as it could worsen your eyes’ condition. I don’t want Hans to blame me even more!”
Upon hearing this, Yana could not help but laugh at Natalie’s teasing. “Only you understand how to make me feel better. I wish Hans could lift my spirits as you do.”
Hans did not mind taking the fall. He nodded in agreement and said, “Yes, you’re right. You’re right!” Everyone burst into laughter. Samuel looked at the swaddled newborn and asked, “Have you given her a name?”
“We did, but I don’t think it’s suitable…” Feeling embarrassed, Hans adjusted his glasses. Natalie, who was playing with the baby, raised her head upon hearing this. “Why not?”
“Before this, Yana thought you were gone, so she named our daughter Natalia,” Hans explained hesitantly. That explanation rendered Samuel and Natalie speechless.
The name was lovely, but now that they heard the story, they felt somehow it had taken on some negative associations. Yana chuckled a few times and changed the subject. “Natalie, since you and the baby survived the ordeal, would you like to name her?”
“Me? I’m not very good at naming people, though.” Natalie was not just being modest. She just knew she was not great at coming up with names. Look at Xavian and Clayton’s names. If only I could give them better names, like how Samuel did with Sophia and Franklin.
Yet, Yana insisted. “It doesn’t matter. I want you to name our daughter.” Upon noticing how determined Yana and Hans were, Natalie could only nod and say, “Okay…”
She began to think of a name for the newborn. After a moment’s consideration, she suggested, “Let’s call her Summer. How about that?” “Summer?” Yana muttered repeatedly.
“Yes, Summer.” Natalie nodded. “The name. radiates warmth and gives out a bubbly vibe, not forgetting she was also born in the middle of summer. What do you think?”
“It sounds lovely.” Yana coaxed her daughter and smiled. “Summer. Summer Becker. That’s your name! Do you like it?” As soon as she finished speaking, the newborn baby, who had just turned one month old, looked at Natalie with her obsidian, shimmering eyes as if she knew what was happening. The way she giggled also seemed to suggest she was satisfied with her name.
Now that Natalie had taken a look at Summer, it was the five children’s turn to greet the newborn. They could not wait to say hello to the baby. Filled with joy and curiosity, the five children surrounded Summer and could not stop studying her from head to toe..
As Clayton reached out to hold Summer’s palm, the newborn girl surprised him by grabbing his hand before he could react. Stunned, he looked at the baby girl, only to see her giggling at him.
Though Summer’s face was like a ball of smooth, unblemished dough, Xavian could sense a tingling sensation. It was as if someone was brushing him with a feather..
Upon noticing how dumbfounded Clayton was, Natalie could not help but quip, “Clayton, would you like to marry Summer when she grows up?”
That question put a smile on Yana’s face. “Yeah! You can be my son-in-law in the future if you like my daughter!” Hans, on the other hand, did not take it too well. “Guys, it’s too early for us to discuss this, isn’t it? Let’s revisit the idea in another thirty years…”
Yana glared at Hans. “You want to talk about this when Summer reaches thirty? You want her to stay single until she’s thirty?” “Isn’t it great if Summer can live with us for a few decades?” Feeling aggrieved, Hans pouted. “Why don’t you ask Samuel and see if he’s willing to let Sophia marry our son?”
