Chapter 616 Tacit Understanding

He had a friendly smile but a cold look in his eyes. He told Ewan who gasped,

"Mr. Butler, we're friends of Lucia. She gave birth to a baby. Isn't it human nature for us to visit her? Why are you stopping us?"

Then he raised the gift box in his hand.

Ewan couldn't explain why, but he could only watch Eduard and the others walk towards the building. Immediately he returned to the villa and called Spencer to report the situation. Spencer was in a bad mood these days because of the press conference. After he knew what happened at his villa, he hurried back from the company.

Arriving at the building, Eduard and the others met Lucia and her daughter.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were both so happy and grateful that Juliana would have jumped up in her arms if she hadn't been so concerned about Lucia's recovery. "Lucia, congratulations on giving birth to a beautiful little princess!" Juliana and Kane's son, Prince Fletcher, was already more than a year old. It was time for him to learn how to walk so mischievously. Therefore, she was very envious of the soft newborn baby in her swaddling clothes. She picked the baby up and couldn't let go.

Daphne couldn't resist touching the baby's hand, looking excited. "So cute, so beautiful..."

The baby girl seemed to hear their compliment.

Lucia was pleased to see how much Juliana and Daphne liked the baby, for she had not forgotten that they did not know that the baby was Arthur's daughter. Their affection for the baby girl was partly out of maternity, and partly out of affection for Lucia.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Lucia, is it true what Arthur said about you almost fainting? How are you recovering?" Eduard was very fond of the baby, but first concerned about Lucia's body.

Juliana was furious at the mention of this. Before Lucia could answer, she said unhappily, "Arthur was the one taking care of Lucia, but Spencer is so shameless to say that he did everything. How shameless!" Lucia smiled and answered Eduard's question with a nonchalant tone, "I'm recovering well. The medical staff Helena brought over are all professional. They've been very helpful to me."

"Good," Kane said reassuringly. "You've lost some weight. I thought..."

"Nothing serious. It's just a normal post-natal weakness and I'll be fine," Lucia replied with a smile.

Knowing that Lucia did not want to talk about Spencer, while she was chatting with Eduard and Kane about the market, Juliana was so focused on the baby that she took a close look at her eyes, her nose, her lips and her earlobes. And Daphne kept teasing the baby, too.

The baby girl was curious about what was moving in front of her, so she opened her eyes and moved her arms. Daphne could not be more in love with her watery eyes. Suddenly, she moved her face close to the baby and looked into her eyes.

"Daphne, don't get too close. Adults can't alternate breathing with newborns. There will be bacteria," Juliana, who had already raised a son, told her.

But Daphne didn't listen and kept looking into the baby's eyes. Juliana noticed something was wrong and asked her, "Daphne, did you find something?"

"I don't know if it's just my illusion..." Daphne looked up slowly and said to Juliana in confusion, "I always feel that the color of the baby's pupils is abnormal. Could it be something bad?"

"Really?" Juliana frowned in concern. She lifted the baby up and looked into her eyes. Her heart was pounding and he looked surprised and excited.

"Julia?" Daphne called out to Juliana.

Juliana raised her eyes, and the next second she looked straight at Lucia, who was discussing business with Kane.

Daphne didn't know what happened, so she looked blankly at Lucia.

Sensing their gazes, Lucia turned to look at Juliana. Then they looked at one another, and when Lucia looked into Juliana's eyes, she immediately understood what had happened. Others may not get a close look at Arthur's pupils, but Juliana, who grew up with him, did!

As Kane and Eduard looked over at their side, Lucia raised her hand to her lips and asked Juliana,

"Julia, Daphne, what are you looking at me for?"

Others may not have understood Lucia's allusion, but Juliana did. She smiled and said casually,

"Nothing," she said. "It's just that Daphne thinks the baby has beautiful eyes, very much like yours."

"Really?" Lucia asked reassuringly.

"Daphne, the baby had the checkup when she was born. It's probably the light, so don't let Lucia worry," Juliana whispered into her ear.

Daphne nodded and agreed. "Well, the baby's eyes are very beautiful, and she has the Lucia gene perfectly."

With a gentle smile, Lucia continued to discuss the company's plans with Kane. Before she looked up, she gave Juliana a long look.

Juliana held back the joy in her heart and continued to look at the baby. The more she looked, the more the baby looked like him.

No wonder Lucia was so protective of the baby. No wonder she had Arthur accompany her. No wonder...

The more she thought about it, the happier she became. Juliana wanted to tell everyone out loud what she had just discovered, but Lucia seemed to have her reasons...

Kane didn't want to bother Lucia before, so he took over the company's business, and now seeing that she was in good spirits, he took the opportunity to brief her on some important decisions. And the two began to discuss them. Eduard listened for a while and felt he had no chance to interrupt, so he leaned in to watch the baby.

"This little girl is going to grow up to be as beautiful as her mother in great beauty." Looking at the baby's beautiful features, which she inherited from Lucia, he couldn't help but marvel at the power of her genes. It was amazing how pretty a the little baby can be.

Juliana raised an eyebrow and teased, "When are you and Daphne going to have one?"

Juliana's teasing came suddenly, and Daphne blushed, while Eduard smiled cheekily, imagining what the baby would be like with Daphne.
