Marriage Games with a Charming CEO novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Don't You Want to Have Grandchildren?

In the living room.

Edmond and his mother, Kalinda, sat on the sofa watching the TV.

He was lazily munching on the nuts, but his gaze always subconsciously glanced toward the stairs.

Sure enough, Kalinda noticed the small gestures made by him.

She sneered coldly and started spilling her guts.

"Only now you care about your wife? It's too late. She had brazenly cheated on you, and it's clear that she doesn't want you anymore! See! I reminded you back then in the hospital, but you still failed to capture her heart. Serve you right."

Edmond knew that his mother was adding insult to his injuries purposely.

"That's just a way of fun between me and her." Edmond rebutted.

Kalinda continued provoking her son.

"I went online and looked up the male celebrity, Eli Preston. He came from a modeling background and had a great body figure. He is handsome and considerate and has never been in a scandal before. If I were Licia, I'd pick him instead of you."

Edmond glanced at his mother and asked slyly, "Don't you want to have grandchildren?"

Kalinda instantly changed her expression.

"Of course, I do want a grandchild! But do you have the ability to do that? Look, your wife is already running away with another man." Kalinda countered his question.

"Soon, just wait for it," Edmond replied smugly.

Kalinda's eyes lit up upon hearing his answer, and asked, "Really? There's hope for you guys to get together again?"

Edmond leaned on the sofa and absently flipped through the channel on the TV with a smile, "Yes."

......

When Alicia helped Peter down the stairs, she noticed Kalinda chatting happily with Edmond.

Her mother-in-law's face was filled with joy, and she was even happier when she saw Alicia descending the stairs.

"Licia, why don't you stay over for dinner too?" Kalinda asked gleefully.

Before Alicia could reply, Peter had already waved Kalinda's suggestion off.

"I've arranged for her to go on a business trip. Her flight will be this afternoon, so she's leaving now." Peter informed everyone.

"What?" Kalinda exclaimed.

She was stunned and turned her head to look at her son.

A hint of surprise flashed across Edmond's eyes too.

Alicia nodded and said, "There's a company project I'm responsible for, and I need to meet the other party in person. Yet they have only a day free to meet up with me."

Kalinda sighed sadly.

It looked like today there was no way for her to pull the same trick and have them stay overnight in the Agos Mansion.

However, Edmond calmly reacted as he stood up and picked up his car keys.
