My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 301

"Lucian," Seraphina said softly, breaking the silence.

"Hmm?"

"Did you let Grandma Eleanor know?"

Lucian paused, pulling out his phone. He had been so frantic earlier, rushing from the corporate headquarters to the hospital and straight into the delivery room. His nerves had been strung so tight that he hadn't had a single second to notify anyone.

"I'll call her right now," he said.

Before he could even dial, his phone buzzed. The screen displayed an incoming call from the Langford estate.

Lucian arched a brow and answered.

"Lucian!" the elderly woman's voice boomed through the speaker, brimming with energy and excitement. "I heard Seraphina delivered! It's a boy?"

Lucian glanced at Seraphina, a faint smile touching his lips. "You catch on quick, Grandma Eleanor."

"Quick? I was the last to know!" she huffed in clear displeasure. "If Susan hadn't called the estate to share the good news, I'd still be completely in the dark! You little brat, how could you not tell me something this important immediately?"

She had fully intended to be at the hospital for the delivery. Now, the baby was already born, and she was just finding out.

Lucian chuckled helplessly. "Grandma Eleanor, Seraphina gave birth less than an hour ago. I didn't even have the chance to—"

"Alright, alright, skip the excuses," she cut him off, her tone urgent. "I'm on my way! Which hospital are you at?"

"Grandma Eleanor, don't fuss over coming out today. Tomorrow—"

"What do you mean, tomorrow? My great-grandson was just born, and you expect me to wait until tomorrow? Send me the address right this second!" Her voice left no room for argument. "Let me make this perfectly clear, Lucian Langford. If you dare stop me from seeing my great-grandson, you'll never hear the end of it!"

With that, she abruptly hung up.

Lucian stared at his phone, caught between amusement and exasperation.

Just then, Charlene walked in. She had been visiting frequently over the past few days, hoping to butter Eleanor up and secure Landon a prominent position within the Langford Group.

"Eleanor, what's going on? Why is everyone so thrilled?" Charlene asked smoothly.

"Seraphina gave birth! It's a healthy baby boy. Come to the hospital with me," Eleanor declared, her voice laced with urgency and delight.

Charlene's smile froze for a fraction of a second.

Damn it. She actually gave birth? And to a boy?

Charlene had secretly been praying it would be a girl. She never expected Lucian to have such incredible luck. With a son, he was virtually untouchable. It meant her branch of the family would have even less of a foothold in the Langford Group.

A surge of sheer panic and fury washed over her. But with Eleanor standing right there, she forced herself to mask it, quickly regaining her composure.

"Eleanor, there's no need to rush," Charlene reasoned sweetly. "Lucian and Seraphina just had the baby. They must be completely overwhelmed. If we go now, won't we just be getting in the way? It wouldn't hurt to wait until tomorrow—"
