Chapter 725: Chapter 728: Turns Out Genius is Hereditary
The nanny saw her delight and continued to speak.
“Most children, at five months, can only hum a few tones at most. The little master is incredible, as I’ve never seen a five-month-old child who can speak like him.”
In fact, the nanny might be exaggerating a little – Ben is not exactly speaking yet.
What he can do is connect a few simple sounds and hum them together.
The only smooth thing he can say is ‘Mommy.’
But even so, it’s quite remarkable.
As a mother, the favorite thing to hear is not other people praising yourself, but praising your baby.
That’s how Lily Gray feels now.
Hearing the affectionate words from the nanny, her smile could hardly be contained.
She picked up little Ben and hugged and touched him, playing with him for quite a while. When it was about time, she put him back in the crib.
The little lad was reluctant to let go of her, holding onto her hand tightly.
Lily Gray could only be patient and soothe him, kissing him a few more times before reluctantly letting go.
After saying goodbye to the little baby, Lily Gray prepared to go to the office.
On her way downstairs, she ran into Emily Taylor.
“Lily, how about Ben, isn’t he exceptionally well-behaved and adorable? I heard from Ellie that she said a lot of nice things to you, right… Oh, I’m so envious!”
Emily Taylor’s expression was a mix of envy and a little jealousy.
Oh my, she likes and loves her grandson so much, wishing to hold him in the palm of her hand.
But then, Ellie told her.
The nanny said that as soon as Ben saw Lily, without even having to coax him, he reached out for his mother and even took the initiative to say a lot of sweet things.
Things like “love mommy” and “like mommy” made Emily Taylor green with envy!
Her grandson is so adorable. She also wishes he would say more sweet things to her.
Upon listening, Lily Gray laughed.
“Yes, Ben is really well-behaved and sweet. He can talk at just five months old and be so intimate and affectionate. Do you think Ben will attract a bunch of girls when he grows up?”
What to do, Ben is so young, and she’s already worried about his future love life.
Emily Taylor chuckled, “You’re right, if this continues, our Ben will definitely be attractive to girls when he grows up.”
“Sigh…” she sighed emotionally, “Actually, children who can speak at five months are not only Ben. Ethan Wilson could speak when he was less than five months old. When he was only eight months old, he could say more than a hundred words. Ben is probably just inheriting Ethan’s genes… That’s a good thing; smart kids have it easier in the future. However, I hope he doesn’t grow up like Ethan did.”
“Ethan’s childhood was tough because I didn’t protect him well enough, causing him to live so oppressively. You may have heard from your grandmother – Ethan constantly demanded the best of himself just to get that person to look at him more often. Not like our Ben, who can grow up carefree.”
Lily Gray noticed a slight shadow in Emily Taylor’s eyes and knew she was thinking about Ethan’s childhood.
Though Ethan had been outstanding since childhood, he lived an incredibly oppressed life. He never experienced a happy childhood like other children, always aiming to get his father’s attention.
He spent his time either attending private lessons or studying other specialized books.
Lily Gray sat down, held Emily’s hand, and said, “Mom, don’t think about the past. Look at us now, aren’t we all fine… Ethan is coming back soon, and in the future, he and I will take care of Ben together. We will also take care of you and grandmother together.”
Emily’s eyes turned slightly red, “Lily, it’s Ethan’s fortune to have married you. Thank you, I’m alright, I’m very…”
Before she could finish speaking, a sudden, earth-shattering noise came from outside the mansion.
[Author’s Note] I saw in the news that there are babies who can talk at five months and speak more than 200 words at eight months.
