Chapter 3534
– His cry was so loud that it could be heard from the fourth room to the main house.
Lilian, who had not gone out that day, took her crying son from the nanny’s arms and asked, “Did he poop?”
“No, I just changed his diaper,” the nanny replied.
“He just ate not long ago, so why is he crying? It’s so frustrating. He cries both day and night. Can’t I have a moment of peace?”
Lilian hugged her son and attempted to calm him down. She then asked the nanny, “Where is his father?”
“The fourth young master should be with the eldest young master,” the nanny answered.
Because the old doctor and his friends were visiting today, along with the eldest young lady Serenity of the York family, the brothers Ben decided not to return to the company and instead waited for several seniors to arrive at the villa.
Lilian told the nanny, “Alright, I’ll take him to play with his brothers and sisters.”
Although Fabian’s siblings were still quite young, they enjoyed each other’s company, often looking at one another, sometimes crying together, and frequently playing together.
However, Fabian was a few months younger and could not sit up yet, so he could only lie in the crib, crying for an adult to hold him after just a few minutes.
Avah and Enzo could sit up and were learning to crawl.
Laurel’s two sons were even more advanced; they could walk before turning one. The two boys were quite mischievous. Once they started crawling, they would rummage around, often creating a mess in the house.
The servants in Laurel’s household spent a great deal of time cleaning up every day. Now that the boys could walk, they were even more troublesome.
Four nannies watched over the two brothers, but they could not fully control them or prevent them from causing chaos.
Children are naturally curious about everything. Laurel believed that this curiosity should not be suppressed. They should be allowed to explore and play as long as it poses no danger.
The nannies had a demanding job, but the high salary from the Johnson family made them willing to endure the exhaustion.
“You don’t need to follow me. My master is here, and with him taking care of this child, he is very well-behaved. I seriously suspect this kid wants to be reincarnated in my master’s womb. But my master is an old man, and since men can’t get pregnant, he had to be reborn in my belly.
I carried him for ten months and cared for him during the confinement period, yet I still can’t soothe him. Whenever my master looks after him, he is perfectly obedient. My master often scolds me for being impatient and for not knowing how to care for a baby.
He criticizes me for wrongly accusing this child, claiming he is very obedient while I constantly complain that he is difficult to manage and cries too much.”
Lilian vented her frustrations about her son.
The nanny was at a loss for words. She wanted to point out that Fabian wasn’t actually that hard to care for.
He wouldn’t cry if he was well-fed, had a clean diaper, and was being held. However, if left alone in the crib, he would cry unless he was asleep.
When Lilian took care of the baby, she often let him lie alone in the crib, which, naturally, caused Fabian to cry.
During the confinement period, she held him frequently. The baby was quite perceptive; being held was both comfortable and safe, and babies generally enjoy being held. They tend to cry when they aren’t.
Lilian carried Fabian out, and the nanny chose not to follow.
Lilian didn’t need them to accompany her, allowing them to take a moment to breathe and rest.
Fortunately, there were many staff members at FC Manor, and the owner often took care of the baby himself.
In comparison, Fabian’s nanny was…
not as fatigued as the other three nannies. Fabian ceased crying when his mother embraced him, and he even smiled at her.
