Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride

On the hospital bed, Sophia Hamilton was groaning in pain, her smooth, fair abdomen cut right open. Even with anesthesia, it still hurt.

"Mia,"

"Yes!" Hearing Sophia call her, Mia Foster quickly let go of Darling’s little hand, walked over to the hospital bed, sat down sideways, and held Sophia’s hand, asking with concern.

"What is it?"

Sophia covered her painful abdomen with one hand and winced, "Mia, trust me, having one baby is enough, it’s too much suffering."

The excruciating pain was something she never wanted to experience again, like something was pulling her from inside, accompanied by a tearing pain below. After all that struggle, she still ended up with a scar on her stomach...

She never wanted to go through childbirth again, it hurt too much.

"Sophia, it’s because the baby was so well-nourished that it was so hard." Mia Foster comforted her with a smile, the baby born just a day ago was already chubbier than most full-month ones. It’d be strange if it wasn’t difficult to have a natural birth.

Mia had already decided that when she gets pregnant, she’d avoid over-nourishment to spare herself from suffering.

"Felix, what have you been feeding your wife, how is the baby so chubby?"

Felix Shaw also absentmindedly stroked the baby’s cheek, the chubby, smooth skin felt really nice.

Evander Lancaster came over with a bottle, placing the nipple near the baby’s mouth, and Felix Shaw closed his eyes blissfully and suckled hard.

The sight of two grown men standing by a baby crib was somewhat out of place, one looking nonchalant, the other kindly and gentle.

"My Sophia just loves beef jerky, she’s practically digested a whole truckload since she got pregnant."

"Evander," Sophia Hamilton, just out of surgery, barely had the strength to speak. She wanted to scold him, but her voice came out weak.

"When did I eat that much, I’m not a pig."

"Here, hold this for me." Evander Lancaster handed the bottle to Felix Shaw, turned around, and walked to the bed. Mia quickly moved aside to make room for him.

Evander helped Sophia adjust her pillow and said with a smile, "How can you be a pig? You’re the mother of my son. If you were a pig, wouldn’t that make my son a little piglet?"

Sophia...

Pouted in displeasure, "Evander, I just gave birth and you’re teasing me."

"Not at all, just teasing you for fun." Evander chuckled and ruffled Sophia’s hair. Mia went over to the baby crib again. Just as she reached Felix, the little baby inside cried out with a loud "Wa..."

Turns out Felix mischievously pulled out the nipple when he saw the baby sucking so vigorously. The little one was happily feeding and losing the nipple suddenly caused him to cry out in displeasure.

"A grown man!" Evander was about to check on his son when Mia punched Felix’s arm and took over the bottle, giving it back to the baby who then stopped crying and continued sucking.

"Evander, congratulations!"

"Nathan, congratulations on your baby boy!"

Nicholas Croft and Nathan Moore walked into the rest area together, with Sophie Foster carefully supporting Titus Zane. The two couldn’t wait so they came over early.

"Thank you, big brother, second brother." Evander smiled at them, "Come over and sit."

Not seeing Titus and Sophie around, Evander curiously asked, "Where are the wives? Didn’t they come?"

"Your second sister-in-law is now a national treasure under protection, and my Lara is guarding her!"

Nicholas Croft rarely joked, and as he spoke, Sophie Foster came in supporting Titus Zane.
