Chapter 666
“Is there anyone else? Anyone else coming up?” The nurse followed up, then proactively approached Jonathan and said, “How about our handsome expectant father here demonstrating?”
Among a group of expectant fathers, Jonathan’s refined appearance naturally stood out, catching the nurse’s attention. She hoped to see this handsome soon-to-be dad demonstrate.
However, when the nurse suggested it, the specialist on stage was
shocked. Asking Jonathan to demonstrate didn’t seem like something he would do!
Jonathan didn’t immediately refuse the nurse’s request. Instead, he asked Rosalie, who was by his side, “Do you want me to go up and
demonstrate?”
“Are you willing?” Rosalie countered.
“If you want me to, I’ll go,” Jonathan replied.
Rosalie glanced at the well-dressed man before her. Honestly, she was quite curious about how he would look while holding a baby.
So Rosalie nodded and said, “I want you to.”
“Okay!” Jonathan smiled. He stood up, removed his suit jacket, and then walked toward the stage.
Instantly, everyone’s attention focused on him. With his tall figure, exquisite facial features, and unique charisma, it was hard not to be captivated. Many expectant mothers even looked at Rosalie with envy. The specialist was also in shock as she thought, “Is Mr. Youngblood- seriously willing to demonstrate? Because Mr. Youngblood’s wife wants him to?”
The most shocked person, however, was the scion sitting behind. Jonathan.
At that moment, he was in a state of utter disbelief, staring at Jonathan, who was holding a model baby according to the specialist’s instructions. He felt like the world had gone crazy!
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect to see this scene.
If he told someone about this, they probably wouldn’t believe him. “Wow, this guy is so handsome! Is he a celebrity? But I don’t remember

seeing him in any entertainment news,” his wife whispered excitedly.
The scion let out a long sigh, his voice trembling slightly. “If you really saw him in the entertainment news, that would be strange.”
“What do you mean? I’ll take a photo and ask my friends on Instagram if they recognize this handsome guy,” his wife suggested, reaching for her phone to take a picture secretly.
The scion was alarmed and quickly grabbed her hand. “No, please don’t take a photo. If you do, our company might go bankrupt tomorrow.”
His wife was taken aback. “What do you mean? Who is this guy?”
“Let’s talk about it later,” the scion said awkwardly. He needed time to digest what had just happened that day.
Rosalie watched as Jonathan followed the specialist’s guidance and held the plastic baby, imagining what it would be like when their own children were born. She couldn’t help but smile.
Even though the baby in his arms was just a simulation, he handled it with care and even learned on the spot how to burp the baby and put it to sleep.
In the past, she couldn’t have imagined seeing him like this.
Suddenly, she was looking forward to their future with their children. She believed he would be the best father.
In the following days, Rosalie needed to receive a progesterone shot every day. However, she didn’t have to go to the hospital each time; Jonathan arranged for a nurse to come to their home to administer the shots, which made it much more convenient for her.
As the number of progesterone shots increased, so did the pain with each shot. The areas on her abdomen where she received the injections often had bruising. It looked quite unsettling.
One night, Jonathan looked at the bruised areas on Rosalie’s abdomen, his eyes filled with concern. “Should I ask the doctor if there’s any other method that can replace the injections?”
“No need,” Rosalie said. “If there were a better way, the doctor would have mentioned it. Besides, it may look a bit scary, but it’s not as bad as it seems. Many pregnant women go through much more intense injections, especially those undergoing in vitro fertilization. Some have to start taking injections from the early stages of pregnancy and continue until childbirth.”

He remained silent. She had only been getting these injections for a little over a week, and her belly was already looking like this. He felt a painful tug at his heart, realizing she had to continue this torture until she gave birth.
“Don’t worry,” Rosalie reassured Jonathan, pretending to be laid-back. “I really don’t think it’s that painful.”
He lowered his head and kissed the needle marks on her abdomen. Each of those marks represented her sacrifice for their child.
“I really wish I could bear this for you,” he whispered.
“Right now, you accompany me to every checkup and class,” Rosalie said. “You’re already sharing the burden with me.”
Nevertheless, it was still far from enough. He didn’t want her to suffer any pain, but now, there was no way to avoid it, and it pained him deeply. Just then, Rosalie’s phone suddenly rang. Rosalie checked the caller ID and saw that it was a call from Amelia, so she answered the call.
On the other end of the line, Amelia’s voice came through. “Rosalie, it’s late… I hope I’m not disturbing you.”
“No, not at all. I’m still awake,” Rosalie replied, sensing that something was off in Amelia’s voice. “What’s wrong, Amelia?”
“I…” Amelia took a deep breath before saying, “I’ve decided to drop the custody lawsuit with Warren. You don’t have to represent me anymore. I want to give up custody of Aiden.””
“What?” Rosalie was surprised. “Amelia, you’re giving up? Weren’t you determined to have custody of Aiden no matter what?”
“That was in the past,” Amelia’s voice was filled with bitterness. “I’ve thought about it. Aiden would only suffer if he stayed with me. If he’s with Warren, at least he can have a better future.”
“But…”
“Rosalie, thank you for everything you’ve done for me,” Amelia’s voice was tinged with sadness. “I’m going to talk to Warren and personally entrust Aiden to him. I don’t want to fight for custody and create a messy situation that Aiden shouldn’t have to endure at such a young age.”
After saying these words, Amelia ended the call, leaving Rosalie staring at her phone in confusion.
“What’s going on?” Jonathan asked.

“Amelia suddenly said she won’t pursue custody anymore. She’s willing to give custody to Warren,” Rosalie said, her face filled with bewilderment.
