Yvonne hurried over to Christopher''s ce, brimming with excitement.
A servant told her that Christopher was in his room. Yvonne ran up the stairs, to his room, and knocked on the door.
"Uncle!"
The door was opened and Christopher appeared right before Yvonne, standing tall and handsome in a suit. "What''s the matter?"
"Rose just gave birth! It''s a baby boy, and both mother and son are safe."
"Is that so?" Christopher was very d to hear the good news, but his face turned solemn in an instant. "Why wasn''t I informed of it?"
"Well, aren''t I telling you about it now?"
"I meant, why didn''t Seb call me to tell me about it?"
Christopher thought that Sebastian might still be bearing a grudge against him for the words he said before.
"Seb wanted me to inform you. I don''t know why he didn''t tell you himself. Maybe he''s too busy. He needs to go for treatment while taking care of Rose, so..."
Even Yvonne found her excuses weak.
She found Sebastian''s behavior slightly strange. Why didn''t he tell Christopher about the news directly? Making a call didn''t take much time. Christopher didn''t get hung up about the matter. "No matter what, I now know about it. It''s good that the mother and child are safe and sound." "Rose is my cousin. That makes Rose''s son my...my..." Yvonne nced up, trying hard to figure out their rtionship and what she should call the baby.
Christopher smiled. "He''ll just call you Aunt, and he''s your nephew."
"Yes, yes," Yvonne said as she scratched her head. "You know best. Oh, yes. What should the baby call you, then?"
Yvonne had no clue. Her mind was in a frenzy right now.
"Since Rosalie is my elder brother''s child, her baby should be calling me Granduncle, making him my maternal grandnephew," Christopher said. Yvonne''s brain was still churning from the news.
"But no one knows about Rose being my cousin and your niece. Publicly, she''s my brother''s wife, and that still makes the baby my nephew and me his aunt. And he would be your..."
Yvonne paused mid-sentence.
"In the same way," Christopher said, "he is still my grandnephew, and I am still his granduncle, just on the paternal side."
"Yes," Yvonne said, heaving a sigh of relief. "It''s not thatplicated, really."
Christopher nodded in agreement.

"Since Rose delivered her baby and there seems to be some results from Seb''s treatment overseas with him remembering some things, when should we tell him that Rose is our cousin and a member of the Jackson family?"
Christopher''s brows furrowed slightly.

"We should find a time to tell him about it," he said, "but Seb is still undergoing treatment and Rose only just gave birth. Let''s wait till they return."
Yvonne nodded. "Alright."
Yvonne suddenly sensed something. She sniffed the air, sensing a particr fragrance in the air.
"Chris, are you meeting someone today? You''re all dressed up."
Christopher looked dashing in his suit.
"I have a meeting to attend and it''s finance-rted. There will be many people there, and I can''t be too shabbily dressed."
"Is that so?" Yvonne leaned in closer to him. "You''re even wearing cologne. I almost thought you''re going for a date."
"Can''t I wear some cologne? Are you the only one allowed to wear fragrance?" Christopher teased.
"Of course not," Yvonne retorted. "I just wanted to say how handsome you look today."
"I''m heading out now. Is there anything else you need to talk about?"
"Nothing else. Go on, I''m leaving soon, too."
Yvonne was about to turn to leave

"Oh, yes. I should be
calling Rose''s baby my nephew, right?"
"Yes," Christopher replied to her once more.
"Yes, that makes me his aunt. I got it now..."
Yvonne mumbled to herself as she walked out.
