Free Web NovelChapter 1381: Chapter 1375: Mom, Let’s Talk About Xiaoru
The brothers didn’t stay out late, the card game ended before midnight.
Titus Zane had already spoken, asking the sisters to stay over at their own homes, worried that his wife might throw another tantrum, so after the game ended, Nathan Moore played the role of supervisor, making arrangements for Nicholas Croft and Felix Shaw and his wife, and then quietly slipped back to the master bedroom.
On the big bed, Titus Zane was holding a pillow, Nathan Moore slipped into bed and gently pulled the pillow out, then snuggled up to her.
Although Titus Zane was indignant at the dinner table, insisting on splitting rooms with Nathan Moore, when the familiar scent approached, instinctively she leaned over.
Since they stayed at Nathan Moore’s house, Evander Lancaster was also able to share a bed with Sophia Hamilton as he had hoped.
After Nicholas Croft and Sophie Foster walked into the guest room, Sophie pinned him against the wall, wrapped around his strong waist as she jumped and grabbed onto his shoulders.
Kisses came overwhelming, Sophie was very proactive because she wanted to have a baby sooner.
In the guest room next door, things had progressed to the main act, Felix Shaw held his woman’s hips, watching the face in the midst of the scattered black hair as radiant as peach blossoms, thrusting while promising, "Wife, I’ll work hard, guarantee twins in one go..."
The next day, Evander Lancaster sent Sophia Hamilton back to her mother’s home, and called his mother Violet Zimmerman before getting off work.
At that moment, at Violet Zimmerman’s place, the chefs were busy in the kitchen like it was a holiday.
Violet Zimmerman, wearing wide-legged trousers and a long shirt, paired with a black shawl, personally brought out a plate of fruit, "Vanessa, come have some fruit first, Evander will be back in a while."
"Auntie, please stop, you’ve been tired all day, come sit down." Vanessa Quinn had just stood up when Violet Zimmerman hurriedly put down the plate and pressed her back onto the sofa.
"Sit down, Auntie isn’t tired, everything at the company is managed by Robert now."
"Auntie, you’re being too kind." Vanessa sat back down.
On the other side of the sofa, Joseph Lancaster held a financial newspaper in his hands, his phoenix-like eyes were seemingly fixed on it, but seeing Violet Zimmerman so enthusiastic made him shake his head and chuckle softly.
This woman, she’s so naive, that stubborn ass of hers isn’t so easily led by the nose, knowing it’s impossible yet still fussing. Fine, let her be, only when she runs into a wall will she give up.
"Hey, hey, sit," Violet Zimmerman sat beside Vanessa, holding her hand, clearly showing how much she liked her.
"Vanessa, how come you’re so outstanding? A girl who conquered her PhD early on, while so many boys in their twenties are still playing basketball on campus!"
"Cough, cough, cough..." Joseph Lancaster covered his mouth and coughed, amused at heart, this woman, is quite the liar, Evander didn’t even graduate college before he had started a hospital.
Seeing Joseph Lancaster’s intentional reaction, Violet Zimmerman glanced over at him with reproachful eyes, Joseph Lancaster cleared his throat again and continued reading his newspaper.
"Auntie, you overpraise me, I just work harder than others, Evander is the impressive one, he doesn’t rely on the family and started his own business, Mom and Dad often tell me to learn from him, not to depend solely on the family."
When it comes to speaking flattering words, Vanessa Quinn is not inferior to Violet Zimmerman.
On the single chair, hearing Vanessa Quinn praising his son, Joseph Lancaster discreetly raised an eyebrow, his two sons have always been his pride.
Though in the eyes of the world he is pitiful and lamentable, but his happiness and satisfaction, who knows!
Violet Zimmerman glanced secretly at Joseph Lancaster again, her eyebrows couldn’t hide her happiness, gently patting the back of Vanessa Quinn’s hand, "He’s stubborn, won’t change until he hits a wall."
Opposite her, Joseph Lancaster coughed again because of Violet Zimmerman’s words.
Your son is stubborn, isn’t it because of you? Aren’t you the same? Knowing your son’s woman is about to give birth, yet still pushing a woman into his arms!
Wait, when that stubborn mule comes back, it’ll be quite a show!
When Evander Lancaster pushed the door open, his brows were sullen, even Vanessa Quinn could see it clearly from the sofa.
It could be said that this was her first official encounter with Evander Lancaster, though they had met several times before at other people’s parties.
At that time, Evander Lancaster was different from now, dressed casually in a jacket.
At the parties, Evander Lancaster was in a suit, not a celebrity but even more striking than one.
"Evander, why is it so late? Was there traffic?"
Violet Zimmerman rose smiling to greet him, Vanessa Quinn also instinctively stood up, looking at the sullen-faced man at the door, unable to hide the admiration in her eyes.
Evander Lancaster glanced at the unfamiliar woman standing before the sofa, completely indifferent, changed his shoes as he entered, "Mom, I want to talk to you about Sophia."
"Evander!" Violet Zimmerman furrowed her brows and lowered her voice to remind him, "What’s wrong with you? Didn’t you see there’s a guest?"
"She’s your guest, not mine!" Evander Lancaster said coldly, the mother and son stood confronting each other at the door, their gazes meeting with neither yielding.
In front of the sofa, hearing Evander Lancaster speak so, Vanessa Quinn’s smile stiffened, her nails deeply embedded in her palm, a princess cherished by her parents, a darling in the business world, being ignored by a man for the first time, naturally feeling embarrassed.
After recovering, Vanessa Quinn grabbed her handbag to leave, "Auntie, I just remembered, there’s something I need to attend to."
"Wait a moment," as Vanessa Quinn was about to bypass her to leave, Violet Zimmerman grabbed her hand, her previously gentle demeanor replaced with uncompromising seriousness.
Holding Vanessa Quinn’s wrist, her gaze shifted to her son, speaking clearly, "Evander, today I’m going to be clear with you, since Vanessa isn’t an outsider, and she will know sooner or later.
Vanessa is the daughter-in-law I’ve chosen, regarding Sophia Hamilton, I absolutely do not agree with you being with her, as for that child, if she wants to give birth, it has nothing to do with the Lancaster Family!"
"Mom! What are you talking about!" A man as free as the wind, rarely angered, with eyes showing clear disbelief, "My woman is about to give birth, yet you still push another woman to me, I really doubt if you’re my real mom!"
"How impertinent! What nonsense are you saying!" Violet Zimmerman’s voice also struck sharply, leaving Vanessa Quinn caught in between, not knowing whether to leave or stay, while her wrist was held tightly.
"Ha," a light chuckle, Evander Lancaster’s lips curled with sarcasm, "Am I impertinent? No matter how impertinent I am, I wouldn’t make a move on my sister-in-law."
With a "slap," Evander Lancaster was slapped by his mother.
Violet Zimmerman glared at her son’s turned handsome face in anger, trembling all over.
On the sofa, Joseph Lancaster initially didn’t want to get involved, aware of his son’s temperament, he thought his wife’s fuss would soon end, but who knew this rebellious son would bring up the topic, a taboo for Violet Zimmerman.
Clenching the newspaper tightly, his gaze also shifted over.
