Aleigha was pulled by Laura to look at the child. Although the child was born ahead of a regular schedule, he was taken care of carefully.
And after a month, the child didn't look a bit abnormal or smaller than other infants.
His fair and chubby appearance was very pleasing to the eye.
Aleigha looked at him, and for some reason, her mood also improved. Gradually, a smile appeared on her face.
"Your grandpa and I came back as fast as we could after hearing about the little fella here. It was such short notice that we didn't even have the time to prepare any gift for you."
"Here this is for Aleigha and Laura. Open them and see if you like them, they are both from your grandpa."
Aleigha took the gift, which was a LV limited edition purse. Despite the indifference, if not total contempt she had for such a luxurious item, she still managed to form a pleased expression on her face.
Quite the opposite, Laura, who also took over the gift, held the purse in hand, her eyes shining with surprise and joy, hesitated about whether to open it or not.
"Open it. You've made a great contribution to the Gardner family. Marcos is a rough and grumpy old man that his mind doesn't work this way."
"You are now and will always be a member of the Gardner family, treated equally as all other Gardners are."
Dustin's tone was calm, but there was an unconcealable smile on his face.
Aleigha knew in her heart that Dustin preferred boys to girls and he was sure to be extremely delighted now that Laura had given birth to a boy for the family.
As for Lainey and her daughter, Dustin might not know what had happened before. If he knew, Lainey and her daughter might really have no status in the Gardner family.
However, one day Lainey had shown her true colors, it would be one more day that Aleigha could not let down her guards.
"Master, it is my true and utmost honor to be an even mere servant of the Gardner family, not to mention a member of it."
Aleigha didn't say a word and looked at the tears streaming down Laura's face.
"Nonsense. The Gardner family had always awarded those who have done great contributions to the family. I'll surely talk to Marcos about your legal status in the family."
As for Marcos, his whole mind was now completely focused on his newborn son, not caring about anything else in the slightest.
"Dad, are you going to drive us out of the Gardner family?"
A cold and sharp female voice came from the door. Aleigha followed the voice and saw Lainey pulling Emilia in.
They came a little earlier than she had expected. It seemed that Lainey couldn't hold her horses for one more second.
As soon as Laura saw Lainey and her daughter, her body trembled subconsciously, and the smile on her face froze instantly.
The atmosphere became strange instantly because of the appearance of the two.
Aleigha stood in front of Laura and shielded her body behind herself as she kept her gaze on Lainey.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Laura?" Lainey came over with a sinister smile.
The thick makeup could not hide her ferociousness. A touch of coldness flashed in Aleigha's eyes. "And what do you wanna do?"
"Paying a visit to the projects of the Gardner family."
Lainey and Emilia went on a trip abroad so that they could put behind the unfortunate things that had happened earlier.
Unexpectedly, her snitch at home told her that Laura had come home with a son.
Marcos read the paternity test and was thrilled with it.
Even without being there, Lainey could imagine the smugness on Marcos's face.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. However, she didn't dare to say too much in front of Emilia. After all, she had suffered too much recently to deal with yet another blow.
She didn't want her daughter to worry anymore.
However, she couldn't bear it, she couldn't bear the fact that all her efforts trying to be Mrs. Gardner had been flushed down the toilet.
She would not accept that her extravagant and luxurious life was going to leave her.
"No, I will not accept this. That batch's never gonna get what she wants!"
"Shouldn't you be way over your head by now, Lainey?"
