Chapter 255

Stella burst into tears.

"Did the baby have a genetic mutation? We're both so good-looking. Why did the baby turn out like this? What are we going to do?"

Since it was a natural birth and Stella was in good physical condition, she started crying right after giving birth.

The people outside heard the noise and got startled. Theo couldn't care about anything else and rushed in with everyone. After learning what had happened, Theo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you talking about? All newborns look like this. After a few days, she'll become adorable. Stop talking nonsense."

Mia chimed in from the side, "That's right. You might not know this, but Matthew looked exactly like this when he was born. He looked just like this baby. Look how beautiful this child is. She's definitely going to be a little beauty in the future."

Seeing the baby, Mia was overjoyed.

After all these years, her biggest wish had been to have a daughter, but unfortunately she never got the chance. Now that she had a granddaughter, of course she wanted to shower her with love.

Learning that the baby would become prettier, Stella gradually felt relieved.

In the days that followed, Stella watched the baby every single day, practically witnessing the child's transformation.

As everyone said, in less than a few days, the baby became extremely cute.

As a new mother, Stella was thrilled. Although her body wasn't fully recovered, whenever she had energy, she would keep the baby close by and stare at her without blinking.

Matthew was the same way.

As a new father, he wanted to hold the baby in his arms all day long.

Not to mention Theo and Mia.

The whole family practically stayed there 24 hours a day, holding the baby whenever they got the chance.

The days flew by, and soon it was the baby's one-month birthday.

The White family and Mia's family held a celebration together. They didn't invite too many people, but it attracted a lot of media attention and was even live-streamed.

In this happy atmosphere, an uninvited guest broke the cheerful mood.

And this person was none other than Raina.

The moment Raina appeared, Stella's expression changed, and she looked at Matthew with warning in her eyes.

Matthew guiltily touched his nose, "Don't worry, I've already said that from now on, our family of three will live well together. I won't let anyone hurt you and the baby. Leave this to me, I'll be back soon."

Matthew left, walking away with another woman in front of everyone.

Mia was so angry her chest heaved violently. She wanted to drag him back, but Stella spoke up.

"It's okay, let him handle this himself. No matter what, some things he has to do himself—others can't help."

To be honest, watching Matthew and Raina's backs as they left, Stella felt anxious and uneasy, but what good would worrying do?

You can't hold back someone who wants to leave.

Besides, after going through so much, Stella had already figured things out. Before, she had to get married for money, but if Matthew really did something to betray her, she would leave without hesitation.

Matthew had left, but the celebration had to continue.

Stella and the others gathered around the baby, overjoyed.

Just when Stella and the others thought Matthew wouldn't come back, he actually returned, and he was even holding a bouquet of flowers.

"Honey, this is for you. Thank you for giving me a family and such an adorable daughter. I promise you here and now that I'll take good care of you and our daughter for the rest of my life. I won't let you suffer even a little bit."

Matthew pulled Stella into his arms and whispered, "I've dealt with that person. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. I gave her some money and promised we'd never meet again."

If this had been a few months ago, there might have been other solutions. Matthew would have thought about helping her secretly, making sure Raina could maintain her position in the country no matter what, not letting her suffer.

But after what happened with William and Evelyn, he completely changed his mind.

No matter what happened, he should stand firmly by his wife and child. If something went wrong or there was any accident, he simply couldn't bear it.

Even now, William still followed Evelyn around every day trying to take care of her, but even so, they hadn't remarried.

With this example before him, Matthew didn't dare have any involvement with Raina anymore. He was afraid that one day he would end up alone too.

Hearing this declaration, Stella smiled brightly, "Those are your words. Nobody's forcing you. But if one day you really want to leave, I'll let you go. If you want to leave, I'll let you, but if you stay, you have to stay with both your body and your heart."

No matter what, she absolutely didn't want to live that kind of life where they were together in appearance only, and she didn't want to give her child a terrible family.

Matthew nodded firmly.

The celebration was lively, and Theo even made a grand gesture, donating half his wealth to charity.

The celebration ended.

Matthew held Stella, looking at the baby in his arms, so happy he could almost jump for joy.

He kissed Stella's forehead, "Stella, what do you think about giving this child a little brother? That way she'll have someone to protect her in the future."

Stella rolled her eyes, "You think having a baby is that simple? It's really hard work. If you want a son, go find someone else."

Matthew shook his head repeatedly, "Of course not. This kind of thing has to follow your wishes. I just think our daughter is too lonely by herself—she needs a little knight."

After all, they would leave this world someday, and then how pitiful their daughter would be.

Seeing Matthew's eyes unknowingly turning red, Stella didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"So now you're planning to have a son to protect our daughter?"

"Of course! My daughter can't suffer even a little bit."

The couple lay in bed looking forward to the future, even deciding they definitely had to have a son—better yet, several sons to protect their daughter.

Waves of laughter rang out. Stella kissed the baby in her arms and said hopefully, "I just hope we'll all be well for the rest of our lives."
