Chapter 1256

"Dorian, you're not a kid anymore. You can't lean on me for everything. I gave you the company so you could learn the ropes. How many years has it been? Why can't you handle things on your own yet?"

Garrett's words were sharp-he was only a breath away from calling Dorian completely hopeless.

Dorian just sat there, silent. He had nothing to say and honestly just wanted to be left alone.

"Alright, enough bickering. When it comes to babies, none of you youngsters have a clue,” Hattie cut in, not bothering to sugarcoat it. “Dorian, Reid, Calix-you three don't even have partners yet, and you think you could take care of a baby? Maybe focus on finding someone first. Let's not talk about anything else for now."

The three brothers looked downright miserable, each one more defeated than the last. Finding a partner and raising a kid were two totally different things!

While the family was still in the middle of their heated discussion, Oliver came back with Josefina.

The moment they heard the door, everyone got up and headed to the hallway to greet Josefina.

Seeing her family all gathered, Josefina's face lit up and she hurried over, smiling. "Mom, Dad, Dorian, Reid, Calix-you're all home."

Calix grinned. "Sis, I'm off this week. I'll be your personal assistant, make sure you're taken care of, whatever you need."

Hattie didn't look impressed. "Calix, you should be out working-go earn some money for baby formula."

Clearly, she didn't love the idea of anyone stealing her daughter's attention.

"Mom, I'm her brother, not a stranger. Don't worry the main job of taking care of Josie is all yours. I'm just here to help out." Calix flashed a cheeky smile.

Hattie nodded, satisfied with his answer. "That's the right attitude. You can help me look after Josie."

Calix raised an eyebrow, looking pretty pleased with himself.

Oliver chimed in, "Mom, thanks for everything. I'll make sure to set aside more time for Josie too. Once I wrap up work, I'll be home so I can be there while she gets ready for the baby."

Oliver always thought of everything. Hattie couldn't be happier with her son-in-law. "Oliver, we've got plenty of family-taking turns is perfect for Josie. But don't forget, your work matters too. I know you've got a lot going on."

Everyone in the Harrison family

knew what Cole had done since he got back, and the Baldwins were all aldwins ess Oliver had his hands full

had to be the focus for now.

The family kept chatting as they moved into the living room and sat down together.

Annika brought out a bowl of bird's nest soup for Josefina to help her recover.

Josefina ate her soup while the whole family discussed her

situation. They even started talking about postpartum care and raising the baby Josefina fistened as they fussed, kind of amused by how much they all worried. .net

She decided to just let them talk it out, watching everyone toss around their ideas and plans.

When she finished eating, Josefina grabbed her phone to answer her messages.

Luke had sent her a video-Logan was eating dinner, looking adorable and so well- behaved.

Josefina was about to reply when Luke's video call popped up on her screen.

She picked up her phone and stepped aside to take the call, not wanting to interrupt the others.

"Boss, good thing you picked up. Logan's been dying to talk to you, but he's too nervous to call. He looks so sad."

Josefina raised her voice just a bit

"If he wants to talk, he can call me

anytime! If he doesnt

anytime. If

does that

mean he doesn't want to be friends

anymore?"

Logan's voice came through, anxious and quick, "Teacher, I want to be your friend. We're best friends!"

Josefina smiled. Luke squeezed into the frame and said, "Boss, Logan's staying with me for a bit. Don't worry I'll look after him."

Right as Luke finished, there was a sudden yell, and then the screen went black.
