It felt as if she was no longer favored by her family. Perhaps such feelings of dejection were only known to women who had given birth. Compared to the poor, weak baby, she didn't seem to need the care. "That's not it, Selena. You are overthinking things. It's not what you imagined. Everybody cares for you."

"It is! Not only did the baby get Uncle Reuben and Aunt Jocelyn's attention, but she got the kids' attention too! They used to hang around me! But they didn't even spare a glance at me anymore now that they have a baby sister!"

While she was speaking, Pierre had been wiping her tears away. "No, Selena. Do you know you have been experiencing a sharp decline in your estrogen levels after childbirth? This will affect your judgement, as well as make you a lot more sentimental than usual. This means that you are overthinking things now. Do you understand me?"

Despite his words of consolation, Selena remained indignant. "There is no covering up the truth! You're also partial toward the baby!"

"Why would you lump me in with them? Aren't I keeping you company when everybody else is checking on the baby? After we go home, we will leave the baby to the maids, and I will keep you company at all times. How does that sound?"

"Mommy, you look pale. Is giving birth to a baby really hard work?" Juniper was staring at Selena with a worried look on her face.
