Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1184: Dianna Hollis Gave Birth to a Daughter
Little Willow smiled, "Vivi, precisely because I’ve seen many rare treasures since childhood, I know that the Pearl Nightingale just now was no ordinary item. I heard that recently the Rosen royal family acquired a thousand-year-old Pearl Nightingale. If I’m not mistaken, it’s the one the prince of Rosen gifted me, showing the royal family and the prince’s affection for me."
Little Vivi nodded, "But sister Willow, do you like Prince Rosen? Even if something is nice, if it’s not given by a boy I like, I wouldn’t accept it."
Little Willow gazed at Vivi’s innocent face with some envy. The Xavier family’s daughter has always been cherished, held dearly, and if anyone ever tries to force her to marry someone she doesn’t love, her daddy and mommy, Justin Xavier and Leah Thorne, wouldn’t agree at all.
But she’s different.
She’s the Princess of Alani!
Little Willow looked up at the night sky, filled with dazzling stars. It’s so beautiful tonight. "Vivi, you don’t understand yet. What I don’t like, I cannot refuse; what I like, I cannot have. The word ’like’ is a luxury for me; I cannot afford it."
Why?
Little Vivi truly didn’t understand. She looked at her sister Willow. Willow was so beautiful, born to a noble family, a princess of the nation, truly the pride of heaven, her brilliance outshining the night sky.
In her memory, sister Willow had been receiving the most traditional education from a young age, mastering music, chess, poetry, painting—nothing was beyond her. She was more noble, elegant, wise, composed, and perfect.
But young Vivi already saw a faint melancholy on sister Willow’s face. What could be troubling sister Willow?
Upstairs, Serena took in the scene below completely. She nodded, "Although Willow hasn’t told us anything, I know our daughter understands everything."
"Everyone has their path to walk in life, and I will always be by your side. You have me." Hayden Crawford kissed her cheek.
Serena felt her heart was full, and she curled her lips into a smile.
Suddenly, the sound of crying reached her ears, and a maid brought in a little girl, "Madam, look, Dotty is crying."
Serena had already heard Dotty’s cries. Dotty turned two this year, having just celebrated her second birthday. She was such a tiny bundle, with a little face crafted like jade, and her bright eyes resembling her mommy’s.
Dotty was crying now, her tender cries heart-wrenching, sobbing so sorrowfully that anyone watching would have their heart melt.
"Dotty, why are you crying? Come here, let me hold you." Serena quickly took Dotty into her arms, gently wiping away the tears from her little face.
Dotty wrapped her little arms around Serena’s neck, "Mommy... I miss mommy..."
"So Dotty misses mommy, mommy will come soon, and mommy misses Dotty too..."
"Really?"
"Of course, it’s true. Don’t cry anymore, or you won’t be pretty." Serena said lovingly.
Dotty listened, and soon stopped crying.
Then a familiar figure appeared, Leah Thorne had arrived.
Leah reached out to embrace Dotty, "Dotty, you miss mommy, but do you miss Aunt Leah?"
"Of course, I do. Aunt Leah and Aunt Serena are the prettiest~" Little Dotty sweetly hugged Leah and planted a kiss on her.
Serena and Leah laughed blossom-like, taking little Dotty downstairs to play.
At that moment, little Dotty looked up and saw two people ahead, happily calling in her childish voice, "Mommy~ Daddy~ Mommy and Daddy are here~"
Serena and Leah turned around to see Dianna Hollis and Raymond Alden.
Three years ago, Dianna married Raymond, and soon they had their daughter Dotty. These three years, the couple was very much in love, making many envious.
Leah put down little Dotty, and she ran forward with her little legs.
Dianna bent down, lovingly opening her arms to her.
Little Dotty rushed into Dianna’s embrace, joyfully hugging her mommy’s neck, "Mommy, you’re here, Dotty missed you so much~"
Dianna picked Dotty up, kissing her cheeks lovingly twice, "Mommy missed Dotty too~"
Little Dotty giggled happily.
Raymond wiped Dotty’s forehead with a tissue, tenderly saying, "Dotty, come here, let Daddy hold you, and let’s ride a horse together, okay?"
Little Dotty adored her daddy, nodding, "Okay."
Raymond lifted Dotty onto his shoulders, "Flying~ Flying~"
Dianna walked over to Serena and Leah, delivering a gift, "Sister Serena, happy birthday to Princess Willow."
Serena accepted the gift, gently taking Dianna’s hand, "Dianna, stay and play for a few days; Leah and I love playing with Dotty."
Dianna shook her head, "No, my husband has to handle company business, so we’ll leave early. Besides, my mom can’t go a day without seeing Dotty, she misses her terribly now."
Serena didn’t insist, Leah stepped forward, holding Dianna’s elegant arm, "Dianna, are you happy now?"
Are you happy?
Dianna looked at Raymond and Dotty playing joyfully; her cool features softened into a gentle smile, nodding, "Yes, very happy."
Then little Dotty reached out her hand and called, "Mommy, come here, play with me and Daddy~"
Dianna quickly walked over, joining her husband and daughter.
Serena and Leah stood together, "Leah, do you want to ask something from Dianna?"
Leah paused for a few seconds, looking at the present Dianna. After three years of not seeing her, today’s Dianna was already 24 years old; she had transformed from a girl into a woman. Time had bestowed upon her an even more refined and attractive beauty; a simple black long dress outlined her graceful curves, making her a noticeable sight wherever she went.
Now Dianna was with Raymond and Dotty, their family of three constantly laughing and smiling.
Leah slowly shook her head, "No, I don’t want to ask anything; I have no right to."
Serena looked at Leah.
Leah curled her lips into a smile, "I can see that Dianna’s eyes shine now. Earlier, she said she was very happy, and she wasn’t lying. Now she has a mom, a husband, and a daughter, truly happy, very happy."
"Sometimes I think, my brother couldn’t give Dianna everything, yet someone else has, and doubled it. That’s enough."
"No one was wrong; not every emotion reaches fulfillment. Now, I only hope Dianna is happy and content."
"The name ’Mort Thorne’ disappeared three years ago; no one mentions him now. He vanished from everyone’s life. Now, everyone lives peacefully and happily."
Dianna gave birth to a daughter.
At first, Leah had questions she wanted to ask, but now, those questions don’t matter anymore.
