Chapter 113 The Child's Name
"It's a boy?"
Edward asked tremblingly.
He was really not as obsessed with the gender of the child as the old housekeeper. Both his son and daughter were his children, there was no difference. They mainly lived in two lives. As a father for the first time, Edward was a little at a loss.
"Yes, yes, the Hoffman family finally has a successor, and I have lived up to Master Thomas' entrustment!"
Philip Jennings said while wiping away tears.
This child means a lot to him.
To some extent, he still felt that Edward was not so reliable.
In his opinion, Edward still has a big gap compared with his grandfather Thomas Hoffman. Edward is too casual when doing things, not like a patriarch who can lead the family to prosperity.
Now that there is a brand new heir, no matter what the future development of this child will be, at least he has new goals and motivation.
Philip Jennings may have had more affection for the Hoffmans than Edward.
His family used to be good, but then his family fell into poverty. If he hadn't met Thomas Hoffman, he would have been taken away by the disease. It can be said that Thomas Hoffman gave him his life.
Since then, Philip Jennings has regarded the Hoffman family as his main family. The only value of his existence is to serve the Hoffman family. When Thomas died of illness, although he only asked him to take good care of Edward, but The old butler had even greater ambitions in his heart. He hoped that the Hoffman family would become the top family in Europe and even in the world.
There is still a long way to go to achieve his ambition.
First of all, a family needs a thriving population. At present, it seems that Edward should be able to do it. He already had his first child in his early 20s. He still has 3 girlfriends. It is estimated that he will have many children in the future. Even if this child is not a qualified heir now, but there are many goals, and he can always find a reliable one.
Philip Jennings has already begun to imagine the scene where the fourth generation of Hoffman will gather in the manor in the future. Those children will bring their partners, and he is still the one who stands by and serves the whole family.
That picture is what Philip Jennings wants to see most.
"How is Jane?"
Edward hurriedly asked about Aniston's situation. Although he had never been a father, in many film and television works, women would be in danger when giving birth. Although he knew the probability was very small, he couldn't help but worry.
"Miss Aniston is doing very well, would you like to go in and have a look?"
Back to God Philip Jennings said.
"Of course!"
Under the guidance of the old housekeeper, Edward changed his clothes and went directly into the house.
"Eddie!"
Seeing Edward, Aniston shouted with emotion.
She is also a first-time mother, and she thought a lot when giving birth. She never imagined that she would have the crystallization of love with a man who was younger than her.
Although it was just a mistake at the beginning, she now found that Edward was really a perfect partner. Apart from being a little playful, he really had no shortcomings.
Obviously, even if she were to leave Edward, she would not agree.
Although she doesn't care about men and women, she is still relieved that the first child is a boy. The Hoffman family is a typical European aristocratic family, and it is difficult for women to become heirs. Now that Edward has given birth to an heir, she also feels that Much easier.
"Jane, how are you feeling?"
Edward sat on the edge of the bed and took Jennifer Aniston's hand and asked. The girl looked haggard and he couldn't help worrying.
"Fool, I'm fine."
Jennifer Aniston smiled sweetly. Before that, she complained a little about Edward not being around at this time, but seeing his worried expression, that bit of resentment disappeared long ago.
"That's fine, that's fine."
Edward kept repeating this sentence, and the concern in the words was beyond words.
"Eddie, you haven't seen the baby yet, have you?"
"Hmm..." Edward was at a loss for words for a moment, he just cared about the child's mother, and forgot about today's other protagonist.
Seeing his silly appearance, Jennifer Aniston smiled again. Although Edward is often very strong, he can often decide the future of many people with a single word, but at home, Edward is an ordinary A boy who couldn't be more ordinary, he cared more than most men she had ever met, was gentle, careful, and cared about her feelings.
At this time, Jennifer Aniston was even a little thankful for the accident at Christmas.
Only by experiencing it can we know that happiness is hard-won now!
Edward walked to the side of the incubator, saw his first child, and blurted out wrinkledly: "Why so ugly?"
"Eddie!"
Jennifer Aniston gave him a coquettish glance and explained: "The baby's skin will be wrinkled when it is first born, but it will be fine in a few days. How can you say that about him!"
"Sorry, Jane!"
Edward admitted his mistake, and at the same time he had a premonition in his heart that this boy would be his "rival in love" in the future. After a woman has a child, she will devote a large part of her energy to the child.
Thinking of this, Edward's expression changed, and he burst into laughter suddenly. The child was just born, and he, as a father, began to be jealous, which was too immature.
Aniston looked at Edward in front of the incubator happily, and felt that this was the life she wanted.
Then she thought of a question: "Eddie, you should give him a name."
Yup!
Names are a big deal!
After Aniston's reminder, Edward remembered this question.
Compared with many people, Edward has a better understanding of the influence of names. In his previous life, his surname was somewhat rare. Adding his name just formed a homonym, which was his biggest nightmare when he was a child.
When naming your son, you must be more cautious.
"Is it Paul?"
Edward tentatively asked, but he quickly denied the name because the previous generation already had this name.
"Or what about Kevin?"
Edward remembers watching the movie Home Alone when he was a child. The name of the main character was Kevin. Kevin in the movie was very smart. Although the actor grew up disabled and went astray, the name is indeed good.
"No, I used to have a neighbor named Kevin who was a very boring stalker."
Jennifer Aniston frowned and rejected Edward's proposal.
"Or Adam?"
"I had a classmate named that, and he was a nerd who got bullied a lot."
Aniston again turned down his offer.
"Eric?"
Cantona's name is domineering when you think about it, and it would be good for him to inherit Cantona's domineering personality in the future.
"No, I met Eric when I was just starting out, and he was a jerk."
"Oliver?"
"There are women with this name, don't you want your child to be laughed at by his friends?"
"Andre?"
"I know a..."
Before she could finish speaking, Edward suggested again: "Francisco?"
"This kind of name is Italian, we have no Italian blood!"
"Steven, Einstein, Miroslav, Philip, Gade, Bernard?"
Edward said a few famous names he could think of in one breath, but Jennifer Aniston rejected them all.Now he finally understands why friends who had the same higher education in his previous life chose to take their children to test their names. It’s not that they don’t know how to name names. It’s because their family members are really picky. If you want a hundred names, they have a hundred reasons to refuse, so it’s better to hand them over. For professionals, even if they are a bitch, they can still tell his truth.
Originally, Edward didn't know much about European naming. If it was a Chinese name, he could hold the "Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci" to choose a name for the child, but now he can't find the name in the "Bible", even if he I don’t understand, but I also know that those Christian names are already rotten on the street. What he said just now has Christian names. You can always meet people with that name when you are walking on the road.
"Or Bruce? Bruce Hoffman!"
Edward was reminded of a famous comic book protagonist, a bit ominous, but he had a crush on Bruce Wayne.
But this time Aniston shook her head and refused.
"Peter Hoffman?"
"Barry Hoffman?"
"Eddie!"
Jennifer Aniston said softly: "Do you think I haven't read comics? I don't need my child to become a superhero, I just hope he can grow up healthy and happy."
Edward understood this truth, but he couldn't help it.
He made a final attempt: "Steve Hoffman? Captain America! This is a legendary hero!"
In his previous life, he was completely fancied when he watched the American team. Although he knew it was a brainwashing movie, there were indeed some lines that really made people excited.
"Eddie..."
"ok, I get it."
Edward felt that the matter of naming was not suitable for him. He was going to come back to the team to recruit the whole team. There were rewards. Once adopted, he would send a luxury car to the namer, and then invite other celebrities to become children. Godfather, this is popular in Europe, and it has almost the same meaning as godfather. The traditional meaning of godfather is not the later extended meaning.
To be able to solve a trouble for him, Edward felt that little effort was nothing.
In the summer, because of a friendly match, he threw out bonuses of tens of millions of euros. The players of Union Berlin may not be the team with the highest penetration rate of luxury cars in the world, but if you count the staff of the club, it is definitely the number one in the world. .
Many football practitioners know the name of Union Berlin, and as long as they go to Union Berlin, they can get the best treatment.
This is also the reason why Edward spent a lot of money in the first place. Many of the things he did were aimed at enhancing the influence of the club. Don’t think that football will enter the golden dollar era in the future, but even then, the treatment of the club staff can only be said to be average. Generally, it's not very good, but Edward's move has made many capable football practitioners regard Union Berlin as their first choice.
Although going to those wealthy families is said to have face, the work of Union Berlin is more affordable. People can't rely on vanity to live their lives. In life, it is more realistic to make more money.

Later, the team ended the game, and they came to the hospital immediately.
With such a large group of people shouting, they would definitely not be allowed in if they were in China.
But Europe is different after all, and there is no tradition of confinement. In the final analysis, their physiques are different. Although these players are all children, they are also curious about a newborn.
"So that's what a child looks like."
"Then what do you think, my brother was born like this, like a big mouse."
After Philip Judit finished speaking, he knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly watched Edward shut up.
Although he is a related family member, he puts his own position very well. He is a super fan of Union Berlin. Now the atmosphere of the team is a hundred times better than he imagined. He is not willing to leave the team, even if Edward does not give him a salary, he is willing to stay in the team.
Just because he is a Union Berlin player, he has now found a like-minded girlfriend.
Although there were always girls around him as the second generation in the past, Philip Judit didn't like that kind of girl. He is also a second generation with ideals. He hopes to find a Berlin Union fan to start a family with, which happens to be the team's fifth The status of a striker gave him this convenience.
Edward doesn't care about such things, even he thinks so, the newborn is really not good-looking.
The child was not afraid of strangers at all. He opened his eyes and looked at a large group of strangers curiously.
At this time, he stretched out his little hand.
"Chris, he seems to like you very much!"
"Then can I hug him?"
Xiao Luo asked, and the nurse next to him gave an affirmative answer and taught him the correct way, Xiao Luo reached out and picked up the child.
This kid really likes Ronaldinho, he grabbed it with his hands, and Ronaldinho turned his head to show off to his teammates: "See, this is popularity, even a newborn child likes me very much!"
Van Persie, who was suspended from the game, turned his head to the side. He sat in the stands for the entire game today. Although he and Ronaldinho are in different positions, they are the top two in the team. Before he was suspended last season, he He is more popular than the young Ronaldinho, but after being overtaken, he never regained the top spot.
At this time, Edward's son suddenly urinated, and it happened to urinate completely on Ronaldinho's chin, and the room burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Chris, it looks like he really likes you."
Edward also couldn't help but laugh, this scene is so joyful.
Xiao Luo, who wants to save face, is a little angry, but there is no way to vent his anger on a child.
He pretended to be ferocious and reluctantly said to the child: "You little villain, since you are so wicked, you can call him Frank!"
Frank Abagno is a legend, a character in Leo's "Cat and Mouse Game" last year, a film based on a true story in which Frank toys the FBI with his brilliant eccentric skills , pretending to be a pilot and traveling all over the United States on a free flight. The story of the prototype character in the film is even more legendary than this. Although he is a criminal, this character is very popular.
At this moment, Edward's eyes lit up and he made a decision. The child was named Frank.
Frank Hoffman, if this kid is as clever as Frank in the film, it will be very interesting.
