Chapter 1403: Chapter 597: Becoming a Dad! (Part 2)

"Mommy~" Just as the Goddess hoped, the little fellow called out "Mommy" again.

What the heck is going on?! Laine’s face turned green.

Why is it that their child with Surya is calling the Lake Fairy "Mommy"?

This isn’t right!

More bewildered than Laine was Francois, the father-in-law, who found himself in a quandary as he faced his own Goddess; neither approaching nor escaping felt right.

At this moment, his mind was plagued by a single question.

This is Laine and Surya’s son, so the child should call me Gramps.

But now the child is calling you Mommy.

So what should I call you?

My lady? How should you address me?

The father-in-law felt overwhelmed by the vastness of the situation and needed time to process it.

"No, no!" Laine was a bit anxious. He reached out, hurriedly grabbed his son from the Lake Fairy, and quickly walked toward the tower: "No! How did things end up like this?!"

"Ah! My champion, what are you doing?" The Lake Fairy was a little annoyed at having the baby taken from her. She suddenly felt as if she’d lost something important and quickly followed: "What are you doing?"

Everyone hurried after them. Angerong also wanted to follow, but Fugen immediately stopped him: "We should stay outside."

Rushing into the delivery room, Surya didn’t look weak or tired. She comfortably leaned against the head of the bed, chatting with Chief Maid Sylvia. Mogiana was seated on the other side making tea for her. Seeing Laine rush in with the baby, the lady knight was a bit puzzled: "Laine, why are you here? Is something wrong with the child?"

"Son, my dear son, Devenhill, tell me, who is this person?" Laine held his son, sweat forming on his forehead as he pointed toward Surya, indicating for the little one to look over.

"It’s Mommy!" The little one was excited to see Surya, babbling enthusiastically.

"And this person?" Laine exhaled in relief, pointing again at the Lake Fairy.

"It’s Mommy!"

"???" The expression on Laine’s face was indescribably peculiar. He quickly pointed at Teresa: "And this one?"

"Auntie!"

The female sorcerer frowned briefly but relented, accepting the title of auntie.

Everyone started to realize something was amiss as Laine asked the little one to identify all the women present.

Devenhill only recognized the Lake Fairy and Surya as his mommies; everyone else was uniformly addressed as auntie.

"No, this isn’t Mommy, this is Auntie. Listen to me, a-u-n-t, Auntie~" Laine was somewhat exasperated, pointing desperately at the Lake Fairy: "Auntie!"

"Mommy!" The little baby was very earnest!

"Auntie!" Laine started to feel a headache coming on.

"Mommy!" The little one remained unyielding.

"Auntie!" Laine’s tone began to harden.

"Wah!" Suddenly the little one burst into tears, the loud wailing filling the room and frightening all the women present—the little one seemed to have a natural Magic Talent; his cries were like magical sounds invading the mind.

"Laine~ It’s no big deal!" Surya playfully chided Laine, signaling him to hand the baby over: "The child recognizing the lady as Mommy is something to be happy about, so why are you behaving so badly? Hand the baby over!"

"But, I just feel..." Laine’s expression was one of helplessness; after a brief hesitation, he still handed the little one to Surya.

Curiously, as soon as Devenhill was placed in Surya’s arms, he stopped crying right away. He seemed exhausted by the fussing and quickly fell asleep in Surya’s embrace after nursing.

To avoid disturbing Surya’s rest, Teresa and Veronica paid their respects to the lady and left, leaving only the Lake Fairy, Surya, Sylvia, Mogiana, and Laine in the room. A dark elf stood behind Laine, leaning against his back, looking at the sleeping baby with heart-shaped eyes: "So cute!"

"Oh ho ho ho~ Very good, such an obedient child!" The Lake Fairy sat next to Surya, helping her hold the baby; the sight of the little one sleeping brought the Goddess immense joy: "So clever! Very good, from now on, I’m also your Mommy! Good boy, son, good boy~"

"Lady, did you do something to my and Surya’s child? Otherwise, why would he think of you as Mommy?" Laine’s face showed a mix of convoluted emotions and the joy of having a son, making him feel undeniably uncomfortable.

"I did not, I have not, don’t jump to conclusions." The Lake Fairy immediately shook her head, and smugly replied: "This is your son’s own decision, it has nothing to do with me! Whether I did anything, you should be able to tell!"

"..." Laine begrudgingly nodded; it indeed seemed the Lake Fairy hadn’t done anything to the baby—he instinctively considers her as Mommy.

So what exactly went wrong?

"Her Highness Mogiana, please attend to the guests outside." The Lake Fairy held the baby, issuing commands: "And Sylvia, I’m counting on you as well."

"Yes, my lady!" Mogiana reluctantly glanced at the baby in the Goddess’s arms, the Lake Fairy smiled and beckoned her over, the Lake God Witch also gently kissed the little one’s cheek before departing with Sylvia.
