His innocent wife is a dangerous hacker. Chapter 944 Unbelievable

Meanwhile, Eli had carefully settled beside Bella on the bed, making sure not to accidentally bump into her. His earlier excitement had not disappeared but he was trying very hard to behave himself now that he had been allowed to sit near his mumma and his new little brother.

Both of them were looking at the baby boy lying beside Bella.

Unlike his little sister, who seemed determined to make everyone in the room follow her personal rules, the baby boy was perfectly content. He lay wrapped in his soft blanket, his tiny eyes moving as he looked at the faces around him without making a fuss.

Eli leaned closer, studying him with the utmost concentration.

For several seconds, he said nothing.

Then his little eyebrows drew together.

"Mumma..."

Bella turned toward him with a tired but affectionate smile. "Yes, sweetheart?"

Eli pointed carefully at the newborn.

"Why is he so small?"

Bella couldn’t help smiling at his serious expression.

"Because he’s a baby, Eli."

Eli looked at his little brother again, apparently trying to understand how such a tiny person could possibly belong to their family.

"But, Mumma, I’m big."

"Yes, you are, my love."

"And he’s sooooo small!"

Eli spread his hands apart to demonstrate the enormous difference between himself and the newborn, looking thoroughly bewildered by the situation.

Bella laughed softly.

"That’s because you’re older than him. When you were born, you were this small too."

Eli’s eyes widened.

"Me too?"

"Mhm."

He looked down at the baby, then back at Bella. "Really?"

"Really." Eli seemed to consider this information very carefully before asking his next question.

"Will he grow up like me tomorrow?"

Bella pressed her lips together, trying not to laugh at the hopeful look on his face.

"Not tomorrow, sweetheart. It’ll take a long time for him to grow up."

Eli’s face fell a little.

"A long time?"

"Yes. He’ll grow bigger little by little. First, he’ll learn to hold his head up, then sit, crawl, stand and eventually walk."

Eli listened with wide eyes.

Then he looked at his brother again, his excitement returning almost immediately.

"I want to play with him!"

Bella’s heart melted at the enthusiasm in his voice.

"Oh, you will, sweetheart. When he’s a little bigger, you can play together."

Eli leaned closer, carefully keeping his hands to himself as he examined the tiny boy.

"Can I play cars with him?"

"Of course."

"And blocks?"

"Yes."

"And I can show him my toys?"

Bella brushed a hand through his hair.

"You can show him all your favorite toys. But remember, he’ll be very little for a while, so you’ll have to be gentle with him."

Eli nodded seriously.

"I’ll be gentle, Mumma. I’m Big Champ!"

Bella smiled and kissed his forehead. "Yes, you are."

Eli appeared satisfied with this responsibility. He sat a little straighter, as though he had just been officially appointed his brother’s protector.

Then, suddenly, his expression changed.

He leaned closer to the baby, studying his face again.

"Mumma!"

"What is it, sweetheart?"

Eli pointed toward the newborn’s eyes, his face lighting up with fresh excitement.

"He got your eyes!"

Bella blinked, then looked down at her son.

Eli was absolutely delighted by his discovery.

"Look, Mumma! His eyes are like yours!"

Bella’s gaze softened as she studied the little boy’s face. His beautiful brown eyes reminded her of her own and seeing Eli notice the resemblance made her happy.

"You’re right, sweetheart," she whispered. "He has Mumma’s eyes."

Eli grinned proudly, as if he had uncovered an extraordinary family secret.

"My baby brother has Mumma’s eyes!"

He looked at the newborn again and gave him a small, affectionate smile.

"Hello, baby brother," he whispered. "I’m Eli. I’m your Big Champ."

The little boy blinked slowly, looking in Eli’s direction.

Eli immediately gasped.

"Mumma! He looked at me!"

Bella laughed softly. "I think he heard his big brother."

Eli’s smile grew even wider. He leaned a little closer, careful not to touch the baby without permission.

"Baby brother, you have to grow up fast, okay? I have lots of things to show you!"

Bella watched him with shining eyes, her heart overflowing with love as she listened to her little boy welcome the newest member of their family.

She had worried about so many things during her pregnancy but seeing Eli’s immediate affection for his brother made one worry disappear.

Her little boy wasn’t upset about sharing his parents.

He was excited to have someone new to love.

Leo had finally admitted defeat.

His little princess, who had made him feel like the most important man in the world only a few minutes ago, apparently had no problem being held by other people. His father could hold her. Jay could hold her. Jace could hold her.

Even Alessandro, who had only just become a grandfather to a little girl, had managed to earn her approval without any effort.

He had foolishly believed he was special.

Now, as he watched Jay happily holding his daughter while everyone else admired her, Leo felt a deep sense of betrayal from a baby who wasn’t even an hour old.

.

He sighed, with his pride slightly wounded, he turned away from the others and walked toward Bella’s side.

The moment he looked at his wife, however, his thoughts came to a complete stop.

Bella was watching him with a warm, dreamy smile.

There was something about that expression, something so full of love and affection, that made him feel as though he were falling in love with her all over again.

He had loved Bella for years. He had loved her through every difficult moment, every argument, every laugh and every little thing that made her who she was.

Yet somehow, even after many years of merriage, she could still look at him like that and make his heart feel as though he were meeting her for the very first time.

He wanted to fall in love with her again and again, for the rest of his life.

He wanted to wake up beside her when they were old, see that same smile on her face and spend every remaining day being the man she chose to love.
