The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 27

At dinner time.

Lucian's aunt, Cora Lindberg-Hamilton, was the last to arrive. When she walked in alone, Carter asked in displeasure, "Where's Jason?"

"He said he's going to a birthday party for a female classmate."

"Oh, Jason has a crush?" The old man's face immediately lit up, nodding nonstop, "He's not a boy anymore. If she's the right one, we should meet her."

"Okay." Cora Lindberg-Hamilton replied, but she didn't seem as happy as the old man. She knew her son too well to have high hopes.

Sitting nearby, Allison was taken aback by the conversation.

Lately, she hadn't seen Jason because of her busy schedule. But she'd heard rumors at school that Jason was seeing a girl named Audrey.

So, it was true.

Well, that was good. At least he won't bother her anymore, and she won't have to keep making excuses to reject him.

On the way home, Lucian was driving. Through the rear-view mirror, he saw the agate necklace on Allison's neck, "Did Aunt give you this?"

After dinner, he saw Cora Lindberg-Hamilton taking her for a walk. When they came back, she was wearing this necklace.

"Yeah."

"What did she tell you?"

"Aunt said..." Allison began, then suddenly stopped. She blinked rapidly and fell silent.

"Hmm?" Lucian was driving and thought he didn't hear clearly.

"Aunt said..." Allison felt shy and whispered, "She hopes we can set a wedding date soon and have a baby early."

Through the rear-view mirror, Lucian looked at her. His eyes suddenly dimmed, and he squinted.
