Chapter 730: Chapter 730: I Have Triplets (20)
The moment the Triplets were mentioned, Madam Burton immediately set aside the previous topic and quickly walked to the trio of infant beds placed side by side.
This was Madam Burton’s first time seeing the three children, and naturally, the more she looked at them, the more delighted she became. Lady Gregory, although she visited every day, never seemed to tire of them. So, the two women faced each other, smiling ear to ear, discussing the Triplets.
“Madam Burton, let me tell you, this one is the first-born, nicknamed Chise, this one is the second-born, nicknamed Candice, and this one is the third-born, nicknamed Candy. The first and the second are boys, while Candy is our little princess,” Lady Gregory introduced them to Madam Burton.
Filled with joy, Madam Burton took turns observing each of them, then, focusing on Chise, she said, “The oldest one looks just like Steve did when he was a baby. Look at his eyebrows and eyes; they match perfectly. Look at his mouth, all tightly pursed, not even smiling. It’s like he’s a little Steve.”
Lady Gregory glanced at Candy and said, “You know, when comparing Candy to Ruby when she was just born, they look so similar. Ruby’s mouth and nose were just like this when she was this age, and her skin was this pink and tender. She was also very smiley… look, just like this smile…”
Second-born Candice seemed to understand that she was being overlooked by Grandma and Grandma from her mom’s side, so she suddenly grinned and started crying.

Madam Burton and Lady Gregory stayed until late in the evening before leaving.
The Triplets were already asleep, tucked into their infant beds by the special care nurse and wheeled away from the room.
Ruby had plenty of free time when the Triplets were in the incubators before, but having all three in the room today left her a bit sore and tired. When it was just her and Steve left in the room, she immediately slumped onto the bed.
Steve leaned in and began massaging her back and shoulders with just the right amount of pressure. Ruby closed her eyes as her face relaxed into a comfortable expression.
It was quiet and peaceful in the room.
Unable to resist, Ruby slowly closed her eyes, and then Steve’s gentle voice came to her, carrying a bit of warmth, “Ruby, we still haven’t decided on our three babies’ names.”
On the day of Ruby’s last prenatal check-up, she and Steve had already thought about the babies’ names while eating in the private dining room of the Grand Ciawell Restaurant. So she closed her eyes, lazily saying, “Didn’t we agree on Andy, Kelly, and Daniel?”
Steve suddenly remembered how he once helped Ruby pick names for their babies. He recalled how jealous and bitter he had felt back then, but now he was filled with gratitude. He was grateful that Ruby had given him so many chances to be involved in their lives, allowing him to take part in important events before their birth, such as picking names, buying strollers, preparing cribs, and even their birth…
Steve couldn’t help but lower his head and tenderly plant a kiss on Ruby’s temple, then pondered for a moment before saying, “Kelly might sound a bit more feminine, and Daniel is more neutral. So how about the first-born is called Andy Burton, second-born is called Daniel Burton, and third-born is called Kelly Burton? What do you think?”
Ruby played the three names in her mind and, as Steve’s massage felt extremely comforting, her agreeing hum sounded a bit seductive.
As Steve’s heart skipped a beat, he couldn’t help lowering his head and pressing against Ruby’s lips. Knowing he almost couldn’t hold back any longer, he ended the kiss promptly, his voice sounding a bit husky and seductive, “Ruby, the Triplets have been born for more than twenty days now. Shouldn’t we start thinking about registering their hukou?”
