Lucas carefully leaned over and wanted to return Pearl her slippers. Pearl took the slippers stoically
“You’ve misunderstood me. What I mean was.. Lucas continued as he deliberated over his word and touched his nose again while he coniched lightly: “To be honest, I’ve taken a fancy to the excellent genes that you possess. Since I’m going in have a child. I have to have a braundul and amart

Under Pearls cold stare, Lucas’s voice became weaker and weaker, but he still forced himself as hish has sentence, “Why don’t you do me a favor and give me a biological child borne by you
Pearl’s eyes were cold as she slowly rotated her wrist.
Lucas panicked and hurriedly said, “I promise to find the most professional doctor. The process is completely painless.. I will pay you handsomely after this. Furthermore, I promise that I don’t need you to be responsible for raising the child …”
This time, before he could finish. Pearl clenched her and punched him in slow motion.

Back at Machodean, Marc had left the office early and was on his way back to the Males old residence after handling some urgent matters at 1) company
When he arrived home, Brooke and Mandy were watering the flowers in the courtyard. Caleb was also at home, chatting and laughing around the old couple. The atmosphere was very warm and harmonious.
Upon sering Marc, Brookes face immediately turned stoic. He snorted and went to the study with his hands behind his back.
Marc was visibly upset.
Ever since his divorce, his family had been dissatisfied with him. After such a long time. Brooke was still ignoring him and did not speak to him Birely at all
“Oliver Give it to me” Caleb instructed as he went forward to take the health supplements that Mare had brought and carried them down. “Grandma, Mare greeted as he walked forward and took the hose from the old lady’s hand to water the flowers
The old lady waped her hands with a handkerchief and said. “Don’t blame your grandfather. He has such a bad temper. Today, he even scolded your two uncles because of company matters. He’s in a bad mood”
Mart pursed his lips as he replied. “No. I wont blame it on him”
Caleb ran out after delivering Mates–pifts and shouted, “Oliver, can you get hold of the new jewelry from Pearl’s company Our class belle watts Mam looked up and raised his voice. “Bear“”

It was as if a thorn was stuck in his heart.
Caleb did not pay much attention to how he addressed Pearl. He said excitedly. “The two pieces of jewelry that Pearl’s company designed are popular. Our classmates were all discussing about it. They could not get hold of it even after queuing up for hours. Fortunately, I’m smart and asked Pearl for a key pendant in advance. My friends knew Pearl was my ex–sister–in–law and were envious of me. It’s a pity that you’re already divorced. Otherwise, I could have asked Pearl for it openly..
Every word Caleb said was heartbreaking. It stabbed Mare’s heart repeatedly. The more Marc listened, the more upset became.
“What nonsense are you spouting? Marc lectured his brother stoically. “The most important thing for students is to study. Why are they focusing on such useless things all day long! If you have the time, you can practice on two more sets of test papers. It’s almost the final exam. Have you
revised?”
Caleb looked pitiful after being scolded and muttered softly. “I was simply passing a comment about foul mood! You did not dote on your wife and lost her. Why do you have to take it on me?”
“What did you say?” Mare snapped, “Louder, say it again to my face!”

As soon as he shouted. Caleb ran away trembling while retorting indignantly, “Oliver, if you don’t get Pearl back, our entire family won’t like you!”
Marc looked at Caleb’s fleeing back. His forehead was bulging with anger as he discreetly clenched the hose in his hand and wished he could pull Caleb back and beat him up.
This brat! How could he choose to side with outsiders instead!
Mandy didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Caleb was merely expressing all our thoughts. It’s been so long, and you’ve already made a few i Manston. Have you made any progress!”
Marc’s face was visibly upset, and he felt an impending headache lurking.

He had recently been facing this problem wherever he went. While everyone was urging others to get married, he was surrounded by to convince him to remarry. It perplexed him.
“She won’t talk to me. She won’t listen to me, Marc explained while trying to force himself into a bitter smile.
He continued helplessly, “I took a step forward, and she took two steps back. I am feeling helpless as well.
When the old lady heard this, she could not help but chuckle, “Isn’t this the same as how you treated Pearl back then?”
Marc suddenly looked over and did not understand what Mandy meant.
“You’ve been married to Pearl for three years. I’ve been observing the two of you. Regardless of how well Pearl treats you, you’ve always been cold to her. You’ve never bothered to show her any concern. If she takes a step forward, you can’t wait to take two steps back.”
The old lady shook her head gently as she continued, “As expected, she’s treating you the same way you treated her previously. I think you deserve. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Marc was speechless. He retorted, “Grandma, I am your biological grandson. Why are you siding with her?”
The old lady mocked her grandson and added, “It’s precisely because we’re biologically related that I hope that you can find yourself a virtuous wife. A good wife can bring prosperity to the family. If you marry a vixen, your life will be over. You have to think about which is more important There’s no use for us to worry about this…
With that, Mandy took the hose back from Marc and patted him before she concluded, “Alright, stop standing here in a daze. If you have to say, quickly go in and talk to your grandfather. Your mother will be back soon. You should leave before she scolds you again when she sees you.” anything
Marc smiled bitterly. His status in the family was probably even lower than the guard dog in his house because of his divorce.
