Chapter35
Indeed, a daughter provided a warm and comforting presence..
Felicia vowed not to let this sole source of warmth leave her this time.
Felicia’s wish appeared to be fulfilled.
Besides Bettie occasionally coming to bring food, which she politely refused, there were no other interruptions.
Soon, Felicia recovered well from her postpartum period. Understanding her situation, both Eugene and Darrick had made all the necessary arrangements.
All Felicia needed to do was to bring Minerva to the venue.
Jarred came to pick up Felicia and Minerva. Felicia brought Emma along, thinking she might need an extra pair of experienced hands.
“Felicia, Prof. Galvan will be late today. He has his granddaughter’s graduation banquet to attend, but he’ll just make a brief appearance and
then come over.”
Felicia smiled, “It’s fine, thank you for your effort, Jarred.
She knew that Jarred had taken care of most of the details for Minerva’s baby shower.
“Don’t be. You’re our only junior sister, so of course I have to lend a hand when you need it.”
Last time, Eugene wanted to give Felicia a share of the bonus, but she declined, leaving most of it for the others.
All the members of the team knew that without Felicia’s initial research. their subsequent achievements wouldn’t have been possible.
So, these small favors really weren’t a big deal.
Getting out of the car, Felicia and the others went directly to the reserved. private room.
There were about ten people present, mostly medical students, who were thoughtful enough not to smoke.
This was why Felicia felt comfortable bringing Minerva, as she knew they would take good care of a baby.
There was also a separate lounge inside the private room, so Emma and Minerva could stay there during the meal, minimizing their contact with the outside environment and people.
Felicia always prioritized Minerva’s safety,
The guests were very respectful, unlike some of her relatives who might touch and pinch Minerva randomly.
They played with Minerva using toys but didn’t overdo it. Minerva, still being just a baby, got tired after a short while.
Emma took Minerva to the lounge to rest, and Felicia then engaged in conversation with the guests.
“Licia, time flies. In these six years, you’ve become a mother of two.”
As soon as he said this, someone tugged at his clothes.
Although it wasn’t a secret that Felicia and her husband had a diflicult relationship, mentioning it at the baby shower was inappropriate.
Darrick glared at his thoughtless student. “Licia, don’t pay attention to
Η
what he just said. Here, try some of this clam soup. It’s very fresh.”
They shifted the conversation to some light and cheerful topics.
Felicia wasn’t really upset by the comment.
If she always worried about others mentioning her relationship with Seymour, the upcoming days would be difficult to bear. Therefore, she had mentally prepared herself for a long time. In the future, when she was alone with her daughter, she would be strong. Such gossip could not possibly affect or upset her.
“By the way, Jarred, hasn’t Eugene arrived yet?” Darrick stroked his beard and spoke slowly.
He finally found an opportunity to make Eugene envy him!
Jarred smiled awkwardly, “Prof. Galvan just called and said he will arrive.
soon.”
Upon hearing this, Felicia stood up. “Then I’ll go out to greet him.”
Today’s baby shower was organized by Eugene and Darrick, so she should personally go to greet Eugene and bring him in.
Jarred also stood up. “Licia, I’ll go with you.”
