Sophia shook her head. “That’s not great either. Few people would be able to pronounce that. He’d end up explaining his name to everyone he meets. Since he’s your child, let’s just call him Matthew Jr. It’s simple, straightforward, and keeps the family legacy alive.”

Sophia’s words made Valerie chuckle.

Chloe disagreed. “It doesn’t really reflect any individuality.”

Olivia chimed in, “Right, it’s not even as good as mine.”

The three of them argued back and forth while the others joined in the lively discussion. Seeing the hustle and bustle in the hospital room, Valerie couldn’t help but laugh, feeling a warmth from being cared for. Matthew remained silent, watching the three elders argue without coming to a conclusion.

Sophia sighed. “Matthew, you decide. What should we name him? It needs to be easy to pronounce and spell.”

Matthew pondered for a moment, glancing at Valerie, who was watching him intently. After a while, his eyes brightened with a new idea. “Why don’t we call him Hugo?“,

Valerie nodded, seeming genuinely pleased with the name he chose. Sophia looked at the couple and smiled. “Then let’s call him Hugo. What do you all think?”

Neither Olivia nor Chloe had any objections.

“Hey little guy, guess what? Daddy has chosen a wonderful name for you,” Sophia said with a tender smile, brushing her hand against the baby’s cheek.

“It sounds perfect to me,” Olivia added.

“I agree,” Chloe chimed in.

At that moment, Valerie looked at Matthew and then at the baby swaddled in blankets. She said softly, “Little Hugo, did you hear? Do you like your new name?” The baby, who had been sound asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, stretched, and blinked at Valerie with a smile on his lips, leaving her stunned.

“Look, he’s smiling! Such a tiny baby can smile already!” Valerie was amazed as if discovering a new continent.

“It’s because of better nutrition now, unlike the past. They used to say newborns wouldn’t open their eyes, but look, he’s just born and can already open his eyes,” Sophia said. “His smile shows he’s healthy and will grow up strong!“>

At this. Valerie’s lips curved into a warm smile. Matthew, beside her, felt touched by the miracle of new life. He reached out hand, and the baby grasped it immediately, his tiny, soft hand touching his fingertip and bringing it to his. mouth to suck. Matthew was stunned, a tingling sensation spreading from his fingertip, rendering him speechless.

Valerie saw this and gently tapped him. “Hugo is hungry!”

He quickly pulled his hand back, and the baby immediately started crying. Valerie hurried to nurse him, while Matthew covered them with a scarf to maintain privacy.

Seeing how well he was taking care of things, Sophia nodded approvingly. “Now that the baby has a name, we need to start preparing gifts. I had a bracelet made before but without a name. Now we need to engrave it quic‘

Chloe wasn’t to be outdone. “I also bought various pieces of jewelry. Although they don’t need engraving, we can make commemorative pieces with the baby’s footprints. I’ll have someone come over to do it!”

Hearing all this, Matthew raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t this a bit too much?”

Sophia shook her head. “Not at all. Even ordinary families do this now. We’re a prominent family; we must do the same, or people will look down on us. Our child can’t lose!”

Valerie felt a surge of gratitude for their heartfelt care. “Thank you, Grandma.” Sophia patted her. “No need to thank me. It’s what we should do. Besides, you’re so sensible and smart. We couldn’t love you more, let alone replace it troublesome.” Everyone was looking at Valerie, and the baby happily drank his milk. Soon, he was full, and Valerie handed him to Matthew.

Seeing how adeptly Matthew handled the baby, Sophia couldn’t help but praise him. “Looks like you’ve learned well during this time. You’re taking good care of them.”

Matthew raised his eyebrows, a look of pride in his eyes. “Of course, Valerie is my wife. I must take care of her, and taking care of the baby is not just her responsibility. I have to keep up too.”

Olivia patted his shoulder. “Well done. Becoming a father has changed you. From now on, Valerie and the baby will rely on you.”

Matthew smiled, burped the baby, and rocked him to sleep before putting him down. Seeing him like this, everyone felt reassured.

No one could have anticipated that Matthew, who was so decisive and commanding in the high–stakes world of business, would transform into such a devoted and remarkable father at home. His adept and gentle handling of the

came as a delightful surprise to everyone.

In their hearts, they recognized that Valerie had married well. This young woman had managed to marry the heir of the Grant family and even gave birth to a son, solidifying her status.

Even though people might have felt jealousy, no o

now held in the highest regard, having firmly established herself as the esteemed

red to say a word. She was young mistress of the Grant family alongside her child.

As the baby slept, Sophia and the others gave a few more instructions before leaving. Matthew escorted them out and found a bouquet and a fruit basket at the door. Assuming that the guests had left them there, he brought them inside.

Valerie saw them and asked in surprise, “What’s this?”
