[He is so light. It's so scary to hold children. I might accidentally tear a limb if I'm not careful. How did Raymond even get used to this?]

Arabella got cold sweat from Ferdinand's thoughts.

'Was this why he never held Fermin when he was a baby?'

Now she's scared to let him carry Fermin once he was born. She has to make Ferdinand practice how to carry a child in the future.

[This feels so strange. But somehow, it feels familiar. When was the last time I ever carried a child… Ah, Alwin was the first child I ever carried. That brat was so eager to grow. He finally grew tall but he's still young too.]

Arabella realized that Alwin was indeed akin to Ferdinand's first child. It was no wonder Alwin treasured him very much. And among Ferdinand, Raymond, and Alwin; Alwin was the youngest.

[This is even more difficult than carrying my wife.] Ferdinand internally complained as he made sure not to put any pressure on his hands but still ensure Raymart won't fall from his lap.
