In less than two minutes, only Grandma May and Sam the butler were left in the living area. She said, “Look, they all ran away as soon as I talked about having another child.“I have six granddaughter-in-laws, but only Seren has a second child and gave me a great-granddaughter. The others refuse to have another baby. I think Callia has opened up new possibilities. Maybe my other granddaughter-in-laws can give me more great-granddaughters.“I don’t need too many. I’ll be satisfied with having three or four great-granddaughters.”It was no fun if all of them were great-grandsons.Sam smiled. “The young madams are all busy, Old Mrs. York. Just let them be. If they had wanted more children, they would’ve tried without your urging.“Look at how noisy the manor has become with the young masters around. I think the young madams must be afraid of the noise. Most young people are like that.”The married York brothers had good relationships with their wives. They preferred spending time

After a moment of silence, Trenton said, “I won’t be interested in you because you look down on my family. We can never be in a relationship.”Amanda’s smile vanished. She did not expect him to sense her distaste for his family.“I have to leave as I’m in a rush, Ms. Evans.”After speaking, Trenton walked toward the subway entrance with the bouquet in hand. Amanda watched his leaving silhouette for some time before turning her gaze back. She raised the window and murmured to herself, “It doesn’t have to be him. I don’t like him that much anyway.”She did look down on his family. His parents were cruel and had blood on their hands. Since Trenton was their son, who knew if he would turn out to be like them?Genes were powerful things. Amanda brushed it off quickly as her feelings were not that deep. Soon, she drove away. Trenton arrived at the subway station with a serious expression. Meeting Amanda had reminded him of her disgust toward his family. While the Evans family

“Her ex-classmate is already waiting for her at the entrance.”The weather was hot, and Trenton had taken the subway. If he had driven his car, he could have waited for Lana in the car with the air conditioner turned on.He also refused to head inside to wait. Therefore, Clive decided to let Lana end her work a few minutes earlier. That way, Trenton would not have to wait that long.When Trenton heard Clive’s words, he said gratefully, “Thank you, Mr. Stone.”“Don’t mention it. Your girlfriend should be out in a few minutes. I shall head over to Wildridge Manor for dinner first.”His parents, wife, and children had gone to the manor. Elisa and her family were there too.Clive wanted to join in the fun, so he turned down an appointment that night to go to Wildridge Manor.Clive told the driver to start driving.Soon, the Maybach was out of sight.Lana exited the company in less than two minutes.“Trenton,” called Lana from afar.Trenton walked toward her with the bouquet.

Lana’s parents had made things clear. They only decided to have another child after confirming they could afford it. They would not sacrifice her quality of life for their son. They also said they would save up enough money for him to study, buy a house and car, and for his marriage.Although Lana had a brother, she did not have any extra burden. He was their parents’ responsibility, not hers. If their parents were to pass away, her brother would be her only family left. She would still have a family to return to even after getting married. Since Lana’s parents had everything planned for their son, she did not have to look after him. She could keep her entire salary and did not have conflicting interests with her brother. They had a close relationship. She had grown to love him more as the years passed. Several men had rejected her upon hearing that she had a brother who was much younger than she was. They were worried she would have to raise him in the future. Lana did no

Otherwise, why would she treasure a bouquet he gifted her?“If you like it, I can give you flowers every day.”Trenton walked alongside Lana.She smiled and said, “There’s no need to do that. I’m not your girlfriend anyway. What if your future girlfriend gets jealous when she finds out?”Trenton wanted to blurt that he liked her.However, he swallowed his words as she was focused on the path ahead and simply smiled. Lana did not look at him because she was flustered. She kept her gaze straight after saying those words and pretended to be focused on walking. Actually, she was just trying to hide her panic.She was slightly disappointed when Trenton did not reply to her.It seemed like he truly treated her as a friend and a coursemate. He most likely did not have thoughts of taking their relationship further.Lana did not mind. They still had a lot of time. She would confess and pursue him after she gathered more courage.As her best friend had said, she had to give it a try s
