SWNOVELS Chapter 924 A Twinge of Envy
After a week of hospitalization, Abigail finally returned home, just in time for the day when she and Luna's child would receive their official names. Lawrence had arranged for a distinguished master from Capitalis to cast their birth charts and officiate the naming ceremony.
After a busy day, Larry and Abigail's son were finally named.
Sean and Abigail's son was named Phynix Graham, inspired by the symbolism of the phoenix.
Meanwhile, Larry was named Lawrie Pearson, reflecting poetic influences.
"Quite a sophisticated master," Abigail remarked to Sean after the master had left.
"I must admit, I find the chosen names quite appealing and reflective of the children's personalities," Sean expressed his admiration for his son's name. With a deep appreciation for poetry, incorporating the names from his poems into his son's name was indeed a prestigious tribute.
"I sincerely hope that what he said isn't true," Abigail softly murmured while cradling Phynix.
The master had suggested that Phynix might have possessed a wandering nature in the future.
Sean couldn't help but chuckle, "Whether it's true or not will depend on how we nurture him. But if he takes pleasure in exploration, then we should encourage it."
"I'm fond of Larry's name too. Lawrie... It has a certain elegance and such poetic resonance." Abigail believed that Larry's demeanor would gradually refine over time.
Despite Larry being three years old already, they hosted a full moon celebration for him and Phynix at a prestigious five-star hotel in Capitalis, attended by a plethora of guests.
Upon catching sight of Phynix, Shaunee promptly grabbed Alfie's arm and exclaimed, "Shouldn't we tie the knot and start a family? He looks magnificent-I want to secure a match for our future daughter first." "Absolutely! I'm ready whenever you're ready! Let's commence the preparations!" Alfie eagerly looked forward to marrying Shaunee, as he yearned to start a family with her.
Sean's son has already been born; should I not catch up?
Regardless of the child's gender, they were all well taken care of.
"My daughter Yanine has already taken a liking to him," Eilane declared while holding Yanine.
"Mommy, Phynix is incredibly handsome," Yanine exclaimed as she lay beside the stroller, wide-eyed.
Phynix's appearance epitomized the finest qualities of Abigail and Sean.
At just one month old, he radiated the delicate charm of a meticulously crafted doll, with large eyes and long, thick eyelashes.
"Is Sean excessively favored by fortune? Even his son is remarkably handsome. Should we just surrender to life?" Kevin remarked, his jealousy palpable.
"And he was born weighing nearly ten pounds-it's not merely fat; he's naturally robust. How tall will he grow in the future?" Isla expressed intense envy.
"This name, this appearance, this birth weight-all extraordinary. If this were ancient times, he would undoubtedly be destined for kingship, wouldn't he?" Cameron couldn't help but be sarcastic.
A sizable crowd encircled Phynix, yet he remained unperturbed, calmly observing everyone with his large eyes.
"Excuse me. Pardon me." Larry maneuvered through the throng.
Since Phynix's departure from the hospital with Abigail, Larry had faithfully watched over him every day.
"Lawrie, you're now Lawrie," Shaunee playfully tapped Larry on the head.
Larry was still acclimating. "Please keep calling me Larry. When you use this name, I sometimes forget who you're talking about..."
"Aunt Abby requested that I bring
Phynix indoors. There's quite a crowd outside, and it wouldn't be safe if he got lost in the shuffle," Larry explained as he maneuvered the stroller through the gathering.
Of course, this was his own initiative.
Seeing his Phynix being scrutinized by so many, he felt a twinge of envy.
Phynix was his alone, not everyone else's!
And his Aunt Abby had been like a mother to him for a while, so his Phynix was closest to him.
"Lawrie, I'll help you push," Yanine also wanted to play with Phynix.
Calvon became serious for a moment and said, "Lawrie and Yanine, you shouldn't push it. This stroller is quite heavy." Despite being the second eldest, due to Isla and Cameron's strict upbringing, he was relatively mature for his age.
"Actually, Lawrie, Abigail didn't
mention that. She wouldn't allow a
child to push another, especially
since you're only three," Shaunee
said sternly, squatting downto
confront Larry's fib.
Larry wrinkled his nose. "You don't understand Aunt Abby! Anyway, I'm taking Phynix with me."
"Looks like Lawrie's feeling a bit envious with all of us surrounding Phynix," Kevin joked with a mischievous grin. Amidst the teasing directed at Larry, Abigail, having just finished a toast with Sean, made her way over to the group. "Why are you all gathered here? Aren't you going to eat?" Abigail asked, keeping an eye on Phynix, who was nearby. "Looks like Lawrie's jealous of all the attention on Phynix," Shaunee teased mischievously, glancing at Larry. Abigail glanced at Larry.
Larry's cheeks flushed slightly as he stammered, "N-No, I just... I just didn't want Phynix to be scared by so many people."
"When Phynix grows up, he'll surely appreciate how good you've been to him. He'll definitely like you the most Abigail reassured, gently patting Larry's head. S
Larry's innocent face brightened as he asked, "Really, Aunt Abby?" "Absolutely," Sean chimed in.
