Joanne had met Brian when she was 10 years old.
Brian and Iris lived in her grandmother's old house back then.
Generally, what happened more than a decade ago would be forgotten unless it had left a deep impression on people.
However, the old days when she had stayed with Brian were still vivid in Joanne's mind, as if every minute with him had been engraved on her mind.
The name of her grandmother's old house was also fresh in her memory.
It was called the West Window.
Neither did she know why her grandmother had named the house the "west window", nor she have the chance to ask her mother about it.
However, Brian had met her in that house. It was the beginning of their love story.
Therefore, a baby named Aiden (Xi meant "west" while yu meant "meet"), who was created from their love, finally came into the world.
Joanne looked up into Brian's eyes, beaming at him.
She wanted to tell Brian that she knew why he had named the baby boy Aiden.
Iris found that Joanne was happy about the babies' names, so she asked, "It's settled, right?"
"Yeah!" Joanne nodded in approval. "They're nice names. It's settled then!"
Everyone in the room was happy. At that moment, a nurse knocked on the door and entered the room. She looked embarrassed as she said, "Mr. Lambert, you may have to go outside to deal with something."
Brian frowned. "The press?"
"Yes!" The nurse nodded in horror. "Almost all the mainstream media and non-traditional outlets have come and crowded the lobby of the outpatient department. We don't dare to tell them anything. Could you please deal with what is going on there?"
Chris thought that Brian would call Gavin and ask him to deal with the media.
Because Brian disliked talking in front of the media-even the media knew that.
Unexpectedly, without even thinking about it, Brian turned to Joanne and said, "Wait for me for a moment. I'll be back soon."
"Mm," Joanne replied in surprise and watched Brian leave with the nurse.
Chris smiled. "Brian has changed."
"It's normal." Joanne compressed her lips. "He's already a father of two kids."
Iris asked, "Chris, are you planning to be a father too?"
Chris glanced at Freya and answered ambiguously, "I'm ready."
"Ahem." Freya simply took a sip of water as if she hadn't heard anything.
At that moment, Brian reached the lobby of the outpatient department.
It really surprised the reporters that Brian showed up for the interview about his private life.
It meant that being a father was of great significance to Brian.
A group of reporters pounced on Brian. If it were not for the security guards surrounding him hand in hand and his height advantage, he would have been blocked beneath various microphones.
"Mr. Lambert, we learned that you've become a father, right?"
Brian smiled and said without hesitation, "Yes."
Brian always had a frosty look when facing the shareholders of his company, not to mention the press. Therefore, it had been circulated among the reporters that Brian only smiled for Joanne.
Being reporters wasn't a career in vain because they saw Brian smile to them just now.
The reporters became much more relaxed. "Mr. Lambert, could you please tell us whether your baby is a boy or a girl?"
Brian said, "Doesn't matter, it's all the same to me."
His words incited curiosity among the reporters. "Then, is it a boy or a girl?"
Brian thought for a moment and gave a brighter smile. "A boy and a girl."
A boy and a girl. He meant that Joanne had given birth to a pigeon pair!
A buzz of excitement ran amongst the reporters. They congratulated Brian immediately.
Finally, a reporter asked, "Mr. Lambert, may I have the photos of the two babies? You and Mrs. Lambert are both amazing. We're very curious about how your kids look like."
"I'm sorry." Brian said, "For their safety, I will not publicize their photos until they're able to protect themselves."
The reporters were disappointed. However, it was within their expectations that he would disappoint them.
After a few more questions, Brian checked the time and returned to the suite.
Gavin and Wendy were on their way to the hospital.
Gavin was working overtime in the company when he received a call from his assistant. He was told that Joanne had been taken to the operating room. However, he wasn't worried at all. He left for the hospital after finishing his work.
He wondered, "Do the twins look more like Brian or Joanne?"
When he reached the hospital, he saw that the reporters were gathering for red packets.
Gavin had dealt with the media on behalf of Brian for many years, so he was familiar with the reporters. They greeted him, and he waved at them as he asked, "What did you get?"
"Mr. Brian told us all that we want to know. The pity is that he didn't give us the babies' photos." A reporter said, "It will take the Internet by storm once the photos are published."
"The photos?" Gavin thought for half a second. "Perish the thought. It's useless. By the way, what did Mr. Brian say just now?"
A reporter thought for a while and repeated what Brian had said. "Mr. Brian told us that he will never make public the kids' photos until they're able to protect themselves."
"Oh, do you know Mr. Brian's hidden meaning? Even if you get photos of the two babies in the future, you can't make them public either."
Gavin explained to the reporters with a smile.
Then it dawned on them, and several reporters sighed with disappointment.
"But I can tell you something else!" Gavin said with a mysterious tone. After a while, he said, "When Joanne waited for parturition at home, she donated a lot of money to support elementary education in the remote areas. You may dig into it. The report about this and Mr. Brian becoming a father will also make headlines."
Brian and Joanne had never made their private life public. It would take the media a long time and energy even if they could find some big news. Realizing that Gavin knew a lot about the whole story, the reporters immediately surrounded him. They also began to flatter him,
"Special Assistant Gavin, you look sharp today! I've never seen a man that has such wonderful taste in clothing as you!"
"Special Assistant Gavin, you're a handsome man with taste!"
Gavin knew well about the reporters' tricks. He waved his hand and said, "Give up on me. I won't tell you anything more." With that said, he took a red packet from Winston and opened it. There was a small stack of one-hundred bills that was enough for a person to enjoy a big meal at a five-star hotel.
He patted Winston on the shoulder. "Uncle, thank you."
Winston was there to give all the reporters and photographers present a red packet according to Iris's order. Gavin wasn't on the list at all.
However, Winston could only wave his hand helplessly. "Go and see the babies."
Gavin put the red packet into his pocket and left the outpatient department. He ran into Wendy who was walking toward the OB/GYN building.
Wendy had received the news when she was still at work. However, she was too busy to ask for leave, so she held back her excitement. She hastened to the hospital as soon as she got off work.
Wendy wasn't surprised to see Gavin. She even joked, "Just now I heard a lot of reporters flattering you. Did you threaten them?"
Gavin laughed. "They were just telling the truth. Why did you say that?"
"..." Wendy rolled her eyes and looked up at the sky as if she hadn't heard anything.
The two reached the OB/GYN soon. Somehow, they felt that the whole building, especially Joanne's suite, was full of joy.
The two little babies were lying next to each other by Joanne's side while the others kept teasing them by the bed.
Wendy walked over. Her eyes lit up as soon as she saw the babies. "They're so cute!"
The two infants were good-looking with delicate facial features. The rosy lips under their tiny noses looked so tender that everyone wanted to kiss them.
Freya smiled. "Their parents both look gorgeous. It's hard for them not to be beautiful."
"You said it." Wendy gazed at the two babies and suddenly asked, "By the way, who's the older baby?"
"Who do you think is the older one?" Freya said with a mysterious tone, "Joanne guessed it by telepathy. You may have a try too."
Wendy chuckled as she looked closer at the babies. "I can do that without telepathy."
Both Freya and Gavin were confused. "How?"
Wendy pointed at the towels on the infants. "The baby boy is in a light blue towel, and the baby girl is in a pink one. My cousin must have guessed it in the same way."
Freya felt awkward. She looked at Joanne and asked, "Is that so?"
"Yes." Joanne smiled. "Did you think it was really because of telepathy?"
Although Freya had said it before, she still repeated the sentence to Joanne, "It's said that a woman will be stupid for three years after she gives birth. But that's not you." Then she said to Brian, "You have suffered a lot."
She thought that Brian must have had a hard time since his wife was too smart to be cheated!
Brian raised his eyebrow and said calmly, "That's not true. I would be suffering if I got a stupid wife."
"..." Freya pondered for a while and found that she had never heard others express their love for their wives like that. She felt that Brian was doing great.
Wendy's eyes were glued to the two babies. The more she looked at them, the more she loved them. She touched their little faces and asked, "What are their names?"
"Romy and Aiden," Brian said in a gentle voice and felt his heart soften as if two lovable hands were petting his heart.
It was beyond expression.
Wendy blurted out with a smile, "Nice names! If I have a baby in the future, I'll also name the baby like that!"
