Chapter 463
S31 206. From Zero to Infinity (THE END)
Philip rushed in and grabbed Barbara’s hand. Before he could say anything, Barbara was pushing again. After Briony came out, Barbara breathed a sigh of relief. “Philip…. Our child has been born.”
Even though his head was nodding, Philip blinked in confusion. His mouth was agape, not knowing how to respond.
“Yes…,” he sighed after a few moments. Briony’s cries helped him regain his senses.
“Wow,” Philip blinked. He bent down, stroking his wife’s hair with. mixed feelings. “You’re so great, Babe. You can give birth that fast.”
Barbara smiled proudly. “Our efforts weren’t in vain, Phil. I was actually scared earlier. Briony’s urge was very strong. But Louis and Emily forbade me to push. I tried to hold it in until finally, I gave in.)
Philip sighed in amazement and disbelief. Still looking stiff, he kissed Barbara’s temple.
“You’re amazing, Babe. I’m glad you didn’t encounter any major difficulties.” Philip wiped the tears from her face.
“I’m happy too. But where were you? I told you not to leave me too long. You know I’m waiting for you, right? What if Briony finds out her father didn’t accompany her at the birth? She’ll be sad!”
Philip’s breathing became heavy. While forcing his lungs to draw in air, he gave a limited nod.
“I’m not going anywhere, Babe. I just went to handle the
administration. I had quite a lot of forms to fill out earlier. And I didn’t think you’d arrive at opening 10 so soon. But I’m here. I’m beside you when you push the last time.” Philip hodded reassuringly.
“But you weren’t here when Briony’s head came out. Emily was the
one who saw it.
Suddenly, the nurse placed Briony on top of Barbara. Feeling the weight of that tiny body, Barbara’s expression immediately brightened.
“Hello, Briony, my beautiful princess. Oh, she looks like me, Phil.”
Barbara’s eyes sparkled brightly. Her annoyance disappeared. Philip’s heart warmed to see her. With a small smile, he also stroked their daughter’s head.
“Yeah, she looks just like you. Her little nose is a hundred percent mold of yours.”
Barbara laughed lightly. While holding back her emotion, she observed Briony’s movements.
“We have to take good care of her, Phil. Let’s be good parents,” Barbara whispered sincerely.
Philip smiled sweetly. His teary eyes looked at Barbara loving
“Yes. Let’s be a great Daddy and Mommy for Briony.”
Barbara nodded in agreement. While laughing a little, she an hugged Briony together.
“Oh, this is so beautiful. Like the end of a fairy tale. The prince princess finally got married and were blessed with a beautiful ba Emily put her hands together, resting them on one cheek with her
head tilted.
“But this is not the end, Emily. Briony has just been born. Russell a Orion are also very small. Our story is still long.”
“Can we call this the beginning of the beautiful Harper Empire?” Emi giggled. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Yes! Daddy and Mommy are the king and queen. I
Will be a brave knight who protects everyone with a sword.” Louis jumped a little while raising one hand.
“Then, I am everyone’s beloved beautiful princess. You must protect me and Briony properly.”
Louis’ lips pursed. “Please don’t be a spoiled princess, Emily. Even though we the boys can protect you, you still have to be able to take care of yourself well. You also have to train a lot and become strong!”
Emily patted Louis’ shoulder casually. “Don’t worry, Louis. I’ll take Briony to boxing practice later. Every weekend, let’s all train together.”
“That would be fun. But we have to wait until our little brother can
walk. Or at least, until they’re not naughty.”
Emily nodded enthusiastically. Her eyes sparkled brightly. “I can’t wait for Russell to be one year old.”
“Yeah. I think our birthday party will be very lively.”
“Very lively! I can imagine all the guests smiling at our little broth
cuteness.”
Apparently, the twins’ saying became real. When their birthday arrived the party became busier than before
Briony whined since Philip turned his eyes to the others. She just wanted her father’s attention to be on her. Her two tiny hands never left Philip while her chubby cheek comfortably rested on his chest.
Orion also cried. He didn’t want to be carried. He wanted to crawl, play with the other, but Ava didn’t allow. She was afraid that Orion would be trampled by less alert guests.
Meanwhile, Russell kept walking and patting every leg he came across. After looking up, smiling and receiving praise, he turned to the
feet of the other guests.
Louis and Emily happily escorted him. They too greeted the guests. While receiving some gifts, they could tell a little about Russell’s greatness.
Frank and Kara looked at them proudly. While stroking her waist,
vas
Frank whispered, “Did you ever imagine there would be a day beautiful as this?”
Kara smiled faintly. She glanced to the side, stroking her husband’s cheek. “Yes. Since we were together, I had a strong feeling that there would be many wonderful things we would experience. But I never thought that our children would be this great. Look.”
Kara returned her gaze to the front. “They handle the guests like adults, like reliable businessmen. While in fact, they are still very
sweet and cute.”
“Yeah, Little Buddy doesn’t want to lose either.” Frank pointed to Russell who was shaking hands with a beautiful lady. When the pinched his cheek, he giggled happily.
“Oh, why is he so flirtatious? Were you like that before?”
Frank cleared his throat. Bringing his lips to Kara’s ear, he whisp I’m just being flirtatious with you, Queen Bee.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah,” Frank’s hands started to get naughty, “otherwise how coul have three children from you and zero from other women? If I we naughty, I could have a hundred.”
Kara laughed. “I’ll kill you if that happens.”
“Yes, you can stab my heart. But I’m sure that will never happen.”
While Frank stole a kiss from Kara’s sweet lips, Jeremy and Ava
shifted closer.
“As someone who has known Frank for a long time, I’m willing to bet that he won’t turn his back on you,” Jeremy said while patting Orion on the back. The baby had stopped crying. Now he was rubbing his eyes and yawning.
“You’ve always said that, Jer,” Kara said sweetly.
“Because that’s the fact. Do you agree, Phil?”
Philip, who had just arrived, spontaneously raised his eyebrows. Agree on what?”
“If Frank won’t turn his back on Kara,”
Philip snorted in amusement. “There’s no need to doubt that. Kara is
his charmer. I’m grateful that Kara came into Frank’s life.
Otherwise….”
Philip shrugged. Jeremy smiled faintly.
“Was my brother that bad?” Barbara furrowed one eyebrow.
Philip and Jeremy nodded hesitantly!
“Be grateful that you got to know Frank after he was with Kara, Bab Otherwise, you wouldn’t have stood staying at his house. If you lef our relationship would never have happened. We could have never had Briony,” Philip muttered before bending down to kiss the baby’s
head, under his chin.
“When will you guys get bored of discussing that?” Frank frowned. ” Come on. Everyone makes mistakes. I admit I used to be very annoying, but the important thing is, I’ve changed.”
“Yes,” Kara stroked her husband’s chest, “Frank is a gentle-hearted father and a very loving husband now.”
“But he’s still a fierce boss at the office,” Ava said, glancing in anothe
direction.
“Trust me, Ava. His level of fierceness has dropped a lot.”
While everyone was giggling in amusement, the twins ran over. Russell looked out of breath, having difficulty keeping up with the speed of his elder siblings.
“Mommy, Daddy!”
“What’s wrong, Little Angels?”
The twins laughed in amusement as they threw themselves against Frank and Kara’s legs.
“Mommy, we think all the guests have arrived.”
“Yeah! How about we blow out the candles now?”
When he managed to touch Louis and Emily’s backs, Russell babbled incoherently. His slanted bow tie added to the cuteness of his round face.
“Yes, Russell. Be patient! Soon, you can eat our birthday cake.” Lo seemed to understand what the baby was saying.
“Mommy, Daddy, let’s blow out the candle!” Emily jumped up and down a little. Russell wanted to imitate but instead bumped into
Louis.
“Okay, okay. Let’s light some candles and sing together.” Kara took the twins’ hands. Frank then lifted Russell into his arms. The baby was shaking his legs excitedly.
“After that, let’s make a wish, blow out the candles, and don’t forget to take photos together!” Emily raised her other hand as high as she could.
“Woohoo! I’m really happy tonight. I’ve prepared a lot of poses for taking photos. Watch out! Everyone will be amazed.” Louis nodded
firmly.
“What pose are you preparing?” Barbara inquired, amused.
“This pose.” Louis smoothed his hair backward. A lot of laughter instantly filled the air.
“And this.” He pinched his proud bow tie while lifting his chin slightly.
“I prefer the second one. Pose like that, Louis.” Emily nodded cutely.
“Okay. Thank you for your input, Emily. Now, let’s take the coolest photo in history!”
“Come on!”
The next day, a new photo was displayed on the shelf in their living Toom. The background was no longer the hospital walls, but the beautiful Harper’s residence.
All faces were beaming there, including Russell who showed his four proud teeth. Louis looked confident with his tie-pinning pose, while Emily was still loyal to his cheek-cupping pose.
Behind them, Frank and Kara glanced at each other lovingly. M impressions were implied in their eyes as their smiles were full of -sincerity, gratitude, and admiration.
“Thank you for coming back into my life, Queen Bee.”
“And thank you for fighting for us to be together again. I love you, Frank Harper.”
“I love you too, Kara Harper. From a to z?”
“From zero to infinity.”
