Chapter 1246: I Want to Take Little An’an Home with Us
Holding little Anan, Amelia Linton noticed Ryan Taylor’s intent, but she didn’t plan to let him hold the baby; she wasn’t comfortable letting a man with no experience hold her grandson.
"Anan! Let’s thank Uncle for the gift." Amelia Linton held little Anan’s hand and made a thank-you gesture toward Ryan Taylor.
Ryan Taylor bent down towards little Anan, gently touching the baby’s cheek with his hand. "No need to thank me."
Such a tiny baby, he looked truly adorable.
"Ryan! Don’t you have any thoughts seeing little Anan?" Harriet White, sitting next to Amelia Linton, seized the opportunity to subtly suggest as she saw Ryan Taylor curiously watching little Anan.
Upon hearing his mom ask the question, the smile on Ryan Taylor’s face froze momentarily, but he quickly returned to normal. He tilted his head toward his mom, "Of course I have thoughts; I want to take little Anan home with us."
He knew that wasn’t his mom’s intention, but he intentionally twisted her words.
"You want to take our Anan home? I’m not okay with that. If you want a baby, go find a wife and have one yourself." Before Harriet White had a chance to speak, Amelia Linton had already chimed in.
As a mother, how could she not understand the intent behind Harriet White’s words? Since the other couldn’t speak directly, she spoke up on their behalf.
Ryan Taylor and Easton Holmes were only a few months apart in age, but Easton Holmes was already married with a child, while Ryan Taylor didn’t even have a girlfriend. Harriet White observed this with growing concern, especially after seeing little Anan’s birth; she became even more anxious.
She had urged Ryan Taylor to find a girlfriend several times, but each time he managed to evade the topic, leaving her unsure of what to do.
"Exactly, hurry up and find me a daughter-in-law so I can hold a grandchild." Building on Amelia Linton’s words, Harriet White again pushed Ryan Taylor toward marriage.
Lately, Ryan Taylor had grown increasingly annoyed with Harriet White’s marriage pressure, considering moving out, but the timing was never right. He felt today was ideal.
"I’ll do my best!"
Though Ryan Taylor wore a smile, Harriet White could see he wasn’t happy; she clearly understood why he was unhappy.
Worried about upsetting her son, Harriet White didn’t press further, still hoping for him to bring home a daughter-in-law and eventually a grandchild.
Wishing to avoid the topic of marriage pressure, Ryan Taylor played with little Anan briefly then returned to his seat.
Ryan Taylor led the gift-giving for little Anan, and others soon followed suit, showering him with gifts. In no time, the area beside Amelia Linton was piled with various toys and baby items.
Once the gifts were given, some guests took the opportunity to say their goodbyes and left. In the end, only Christopher Turner and Sophia Wood were left from the Turner Family, Ryan Taylor from the Taylor Family, and Callix Linton and Amelia Linton, along with Michael Linton and Serena Zimmerman, from the Linton Family.
As Easton Holmes’s best friends, Thomas Fisher and Benjamin Shaw stayed behind, choosing to sit and quietly drink with Ryan Taylor.
Noticing the three might continue drinking for a while, Callix Linton suggested others leave and give them space as buddies.
"Drink a little less."
Lily Turner quietly cautioned Easton Holmes before leaving the hotel with her family.
