Chapter 998

With a soft coo that sounded like a "boom," just like Henry's chubby, adorable face, the sweetness was undeniable, much like the relationship between his parents at the moment-ready to explode. Mia was taken aback, cradling her little bundle of joy as he uttered a new word, "boom," and seemed to grasp that putting big Isaac together would result in a "boom"!

Anya turned into an adoring fan, gazing at the baby with hearts in her eyes.

"Who taught you "boom'? And even 'double boom'?" Mia playfully tapped her son's bottom and then had a lightbulb moment, "Henry! You're bunking with your grandpa tonight; you're picking up bad habits." Grandpa Hansen...

The old man couldn't shake his gaming addiction.

At night, cuddling his grandson, Henry, Hansen would play card games on his smartphone, and over time, everyone underestimated the little boy's memory and learning skills. Spending so much time together, they both knew that tossing out two matching cards of different colors would trigger a "boom" sound from the phone.

Molly grinned, "Mia, maybe Henry shouldn't be sleeping over with Dad. With Dad's kind of mentoring, 'the apprentice' could either end up a card shark or a gambling addict. Henry's already showing promise at just one year old."

Anya curiously asked, "Auntie, do you think the baby could really become a card shark?"

Her daughter quipped back, "Anya, have you ever seen a 'gambler' raise a card shark?"

For the sake of the future and to instill good values, the three of them were firmly against all gambling.

Mia conceded, "Let's switch to a different game."

But Henry was keen on playing; even in his grandpa's arms, he'd help him tap "bombs" on the smartphone screen.

"Mommy Mommy," Henry whined in Mia's arms, wanting to join in.

Mia kissed her son, "Sweetheart, it's bedtime for you."
