Chapter 589 Name The Girl

"What in the world are you doing? Put my daughter down?" his eyes were so fierce as if he would kill the midwife. Just taking out the sword was left but with the intense pressure and the killing intent, she was already having trouble breathing.

She looked at him with a shock registered on her face.

"What.. What did I do?" she asked in a low voice in spite of being the eldest one in the room.

She was shocked but held the baby tightly under her clutch when the man frowned further.

​ "You are hurting my child!" he said with a flower. It was so strong that the woman trembled but then she looked at the agitated man and then at the kid in her hand with confusion.

And in the next second. She laughed, shocking Leo.

"Did you just laugh?" He looked like he would have already ripped the woman apart if not for the fact that she had helped in taking her daughter's birth.

"My lord, I understand your concern. But I am not hurting the child." she explained in a soft voice as she held the girl properly in her arms.

"Babies need to be turned upside down so that the blood flow in their mind works better. There!" She again held the young baby with her feet and swung her in the air, "it will make her wiser!" she assured the shocked and suspicious man who looked at her as if she was an enemy and he was searching for possible weapons brining an amused look on the face of old woman.

She explained to him calmly when he looked at everything as if it was a new world to him.

"My lord, do you want to hold your daughter before I leave?" That meant she was not going to give him that chance when he was alone.

Evan was still sleeping soundly while his father was still not in the condition to hold it so only Jenny was left who was already afraid how she was going to handle the cold and brooding eyes of her master who was already jealous that the midwife was holding his child instead of him.

"That.. i.. What if I break her bones?" he asked with a fearful voice widening the eyes of Jenny.

So, that was why he had not taken the baby in his hands so far.

Leo was on the larger frame side. His muscles were strong and firm due to the handling of the sword all the time.

He trained daily in the sun with all kinds of wings of the sword and other weapons. His pectoral muscles were well built and his chest was wide.

Evan looked too frail when she stood with him but when it came to the baby. What if he placed a bit of pressure and she broke?

She was the size of his palm. What if he hurt her. He would never be able to forgive himself.

The midwife muffled the laughter. This was really a user one! She was amused in her heart.

"You only need to be gentle with her. Isn't she lovely?" she asked in a soft voice as she brought the girl closer to him.

He stared at the contorted face of the child which still had wrinkles. Her whole hand was equal to his one finger, lean and small just how in the world would she be able to walk with those tiny legs that are longer than stick.

Yet he could not help but smile while looking at her. She was so small and so precious.

"I will help you in holding her, just spread your arms like that." She showed him and he mimicked. When she nodded her head in satisfaction bringing a look of pride on his face.

His chest swelled but at the same time his heartbeat increased. He was feeling sweat covering his hands yet he couldn't let go of that chance.

What if Evan did not let him hold her when she would wake up with the same fear in her heart.

He wanted to touch that tiny doll for once. He nodded his head in the end bringing a smile on her face.

"There, is she not soft?" asked the lady when Leo nodded,

"Yes, very!" his face could not contain the happiness he was feeling. Tears started to form on the corner of his eyes.

He looked so.. Aah! My daughter. My own daughter!

William stared at the face of his son. He had felt that he had not been a good father and the head of the family once his family started to feel apart but now that he looked at the joyous face, he felt relieved.

He was wrong. Money and wealth were not the things that were keeping them together but this love!

He was happy in this small house too when Evan was with her.

"Have you thought of a name, my lord?" asked the lady as she packed her things and was ready to leave when finally Leo came back to his senses.

"Shall i? I mean what if Evangeline wanted to name the baby. I will call her fairy till then." he said with a shake of his head as he sat on the bed beside Evan.l

"...….."

"Fairy?" the woman tilted her head, "you should give her a proper nickname or she would be teased later by her siblings. She should not feel that you were not sincere while naming her." she shook her head as she left.

The word fairy made her laugh again.

Leo started the face of the woman who laughed like it was a joke and her last line started to echo in his heart when he stared at Jenny as if he wanted to kill her.

His eyes were so fierce that she trembled.

"Jenny, go and bring the book of names from our religion this instant. We have to find a sincere name for the girl."
