The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 562

Even though she was embarrassed to admit it, she can't deny that she often imagined her brother-in-law as the protagonist when reading those novels.

"Sis, did we get too excited too soon?" her sister-in-law asked with a puzzled look.

She already had two sons, and was looking forward to her brother-in-law getting a wife and having a daughter for her to spoil.

Now... were her hopes crushed?

From that day on, Gloria was all down in the dumps.

No more dieting or body sculpting, just moping around, and even discussing with her husband about having another child.

Who knew, maybe they would have a daughter this time?

The next day, Baillie's dad got so scared that he flew straight oversees for fishing.

The servant was quite confused.

"There's no man here, Mr. and Mrs. Scott are having fun."

"What are they playing with?" Gloria asked excitedly, as if catching a glimmer of hope in the dust.

"Maybe unwrapping presents?" The servant replied.

There was a silence:"Brisa, why would unwrapping gifts make you nervous? Please don't scare me, I'm really fragile right now, don't..."

"No, ma'am, it's Mr. Scott laughing, a full-on belly laugh!" Brisa hastily explained, "I was scared to death!"

Brisa watched Baillie grow up.

Little Baillie was a bit more terrifying, rarely crying or fussing when he was very young, and he was emotionless as he grew up, like a little adult. His parents thought he might have autism or something.

They took him to doctors everywhere, who all said he was perfectly normal, physically healthy, and mentally sharp.

It wasn't until he grew up a bit more that he slowly became the gentle and polite person that he was now.

Brisa had never seen Baillie laugh so heartily.

Despite his politeness, the family was still somewhat wary of him.

The housekeepers also privately discussed, worrying that one day Mr. Scott might get unhappy and kill everyone.

"Really?" Gloria was just as surprised.
