Chapter 3253 An Elder Apologizing To A Younger Person
Rainie smiled and nodded. "Of course!"
Sue was sitting on the balcony, sipping tea with them while watching the three kids in the living room. Rainie was taking care of both Kari and Teri, and she could not help but heave a sigh. "This just proves that having daughters is the best."
"What's this? You already have twin daughters. Isn't that enough? Don't tell me you're thinking of having twin sons too?" Nina teased.
*Two kids are already enough of a headache. There's no way I want two more sons!" Sue shook her head quickly." Besides, having twins was just a fluke, and there's no guarantee the next pregnancy would result in twins."
"Well, that's where you're wrong. If you naturally conceived twins, it means your body has the genes for it, so the next pregnancy could easily be twins too," replied Nina, glancing at Luca, suddenly thinking of Bianca.
Bianca had three kids with Luke.
However, no one knew where she was, and Luca had gotten pretty close to her...
Nina could not quite put her finger on it, but something felt off.
"Anyway, I don't want to have any more kids, but Jason's family is really pushing for it." Sue let out another sigh, resting her chin in her hand.
"Huh?" Luca was curious. "Why do they want you to have another child?"
*They're just scared because of his ex-wife," answered Sue. She was also puzzled by why they were so insistent on her having more kids. After asking, she found out it was all because of that.
"His ex-wife is overseas now, getting treatment with their child, but no one here really knows what's going on with that kid. His parents are just terrified, saying all sorts of things about how having another child would secure Kari's and Teri's future..." explained Sue, sounding exasperated.
"But aren't Kari and Teri perfectly healthy?" asked Nina.
Sue nodded. "Yeah, when I first found out that Jason had a sick son, I was worried about genetic issues too. So, I took Kari and Teri for a check-up, and they're both perfectly fine. I have no idea what his parents are so worried about."
Nina muttered slowly, "I think they just want a grandson."
"Yeah, the older generation always prefers boys over girls, I know that. They even tried to get custody of that kid from Bailey back in the day," replied Sue, clearly frustrated. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.
*Just let things take their course," Luca said calmly while listening to their conversation.
*Yeah, but now the old couple is trying to get Kari and Teri to ask me for a little brother every day. I'm really at my wit's end. Thankfully, Jason doesn't pressure me. He even said that two kids are enough, and he won't force me to have more," replied Sue. She felt tired just talking about it.
When she first decided to have kids, she was getting older and did not plan on getting married, so she thought having children would add some color to her life.
However, after the kids were born, she ended up having more and more interactions with Jason.
In the end, they got married.
None of this was something Sue had anticipated before having kids.
*It's good that Mr. Doyle understands you," Luca reassured her.
Jason was well-educated, so his views were likely different from his parents.
"Now, all I want is a simple life without any more drama. And as for Bailey, since she has left, she should just stay gone. If she comes back to cause trouble again, I'm really going to lose it," complained Sue, recalling the nightmare that Bailey had made of her life in the past.
That woman's presence had caused problems between her and Jason.
Fortunately, they had managed to overcome them.
*Mom, what are you guys talking about?" Teri came running over on her little legs, cuddling up next to Sue.
"We're just chatting," replied Sue, pulling out a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead. She smiled lovingly at her. "How'd you work up a sweat?"Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
"It's a bit hot!" Teri wrinkled her nose.
"Hot, huh? Let me adjust it." Nina got up and turned the temperature down a degree.
Sue glanced at the ribbon flower in Teri's hand and asked, "That's so pretty! Did Rainie make it for you?"
*Yeah! Rainie is amazing! She can make flowers!" Teri looked at the ribbon flower in her hand, then walked over to Luca and handed it to her, "Pretty miss, this one's for you."
Luca was a bit surprised but smiled as she took it. "Thank you, Teri!"
Teri giggled and ran back to the living room to continue folding ribbon flowers with Rainie.
The leftover ribbons were being folded, and Kari and Teri were trying to follow Rainie's moves, folding along with her.
"I have to say, the kids really love you!" said Nina as she adjusted the temperature and sat back down, noticing the flower in Luca's hand. "What is it about you that attracts all the kids? They just seem to gravitate toward you!"
"Maybe I'm just naturally good with kids," Luca replied with a cheerful smile.
"It's not a maybe; it's a definite! All three of Luke's kids like you, and now, even Teri does too. Good thing they're not my kids, or I'd be super jealous," joked Nina.
When Sue heard this, she let out a laugh. "What's wrong with that? If your kids end up loving Luca, you could just let her babysit them. It'd make your life easier!"
"That's true!"
They chatted for quite a while, and it was not until evening that they each headed home.
When Luca and Rainie got home, Luca was surprised to find Karen there. She was startled for a moment.
Luke was also in the living room, and the coffee table was covered with beautifully wrapped gifts.
Luca quickly realized what was going on and turned to Rainie. "Sweetheart, why don't you head upstairs for now, okay?"
Rainie, understanding that this was adult business, nodded and replied, "Okay."
Once Rainie was upstairs, Luca walked over and sat beside Luke. They exchanged a glance.
Luke spoke up, "Madam Mallory, you should take these gifts back."
Karen's expression clarkened when she saw Luca, especially after witnessing how close she was with the child. It made her feel uncomfortable.
A mistress speaking to the child as though this were her home and as though she were the lady of the house!
Due to Daryl's betrayal, Karen had developed a deep dislike for mistresses, so she had never liked Luca. Now, her hostility was even stronger.
She asked in a cold voice when she heard Luke say so, "So, you're really not going to forgive me?"
"Madam Mallory, do you even think you've done something wrong?" Luke suddenly asked.
Karen looked at Luca. Her gaze then fell on the gifts she had brought.
She secretly sneered. She had bought expensive things. Surely, this woman who relied on men to get ahead had never seen anything so luxurious!
Karen added, "I shouldn't have kidnapped anyone, but I begged Luca, and she refused. I wasn't planning on hurting her. If she hadn't pushed me so hard, I wouldn't have done it."
Luke's expression darkened.
Karen's expression was not looking any better. "I've brought you gifts, and I've apologized. Can't you explain to the
old master that it was all just a misunderstanding?"
Luca suddenly laughed at her tone.
She knew it was hard for an elder to apologize to a younger person and there would always be a bit of
awkwardness in their tone.
However, Karen's attitude was something else entirely...
