Chapter 387: How Old Is Your Child?

…

The day Halle went to see Claus, it drizzled again.

River City was along the sea, so it is humid all year round. Particularly in the summer, it rained constantly.

Since Hilla heard that Halle went to see Claus, she had been uneasy.

With a straw in her mouth, Riya frowned at the woman opposite her. She heaved a sigh and said, “Hilla, didn’t you ask me out for afternoon tea? It turns out that I am the only one drinking. You just sit here.”

Lowering her head, Hilla kept swilling the black tea in her teacup. As the liquid eddied, she glanced at the window and said, “I’m just a little worried…”

“Your sister went to see her husband’s father. She is with Horton. He was her husband. What are you worried about?”

Drinking coffee, Riya muttered in a low voice, “In fact, it has nothing to do with you.”

Hilla also felt that it was funny. Claus was not a monster. She didn’t have to be afraid.

And now, Halle was not that weak.

Hilla felt amused as soon as she thought of the fact that Halle had beaten Titus up, and he got a concussion.

“That’s true. Halle dared to hit her ex-husband. She is no longer the same as before.”

Hearing this, Riya immediately became spirited.

She moved closer and whispered, “Did Halle really beat that bastard?”

When she had heard about it, she was so shocked that she couldn’t believe it.

Now that Hilla said so, it must be true. Riya was more curious about it.

She thought, “It must be interesting to see that!”

Hilla chuckled and nodded. “Titus went too far. We should have called the police, but Hilla is pregnant. If we call the police, she has to go to the police station. It is troublesome. So, we let him go at that.”

Although Hilla said it casually, she was surprised by Halle’s change.

Halle had never ever fought once before this.

She struck others as a tender, smart, beautiful girl with good breeding. Hilla was the one who troubled their parents all the time.

She really didn’t expect that one day, she would see Halle beat someone up.

She still remembered Titus’s terrified look when he saw Halle in the hospital.

“You and your sister are too rude. It’s so hard to be your husband. Bruce is so poor.”

Riya shook her head and spoke. Hilla chuckled but pretended to be angry, “Why are you talking about Bruce? Are you still in love …”?

“Shut up!”

Riya interrupted her immediately, giving Hilla a disdainful look.

“I used to like him. I admit this, but I am Riya. I am a beautiful and sexy girl. I don’t have to center around a man who doesn’t love me. Do you know how many men are chasing after me?”

As Riya spoke, she flipped her long hair in a sexy way.

Speaking of this, she was annoyed. Charming as she was, she didn’t receive any of the love letters since she was in school.

Riya wondered, “Are those men blind? Can’t they see that I am a great beauty?

But in fact, from kindergarten to the university, she had always been the goddess for boys.

But they ignored her, or to be exact, and they avoided her like she was a devil.

Instead, they courted that vulgar woman.

That was why it was said that if a woman could not get married, it was not necessarily because she was not good enough. It was possible that it was because she was too outstanding. Those men felt that they didn’t deserve her and felt ashamed of themselves before her.

“Just one, Mr. Key.”

Riya was speechless at once. Hilla was happy to hit the point.

Hilla got out of the shadow of worrying about her sister, and the atmosphere was better.

Riya glared at Hilla.

She rolled her eyes upwards and said, “He is not the only man in the world. I wouldn’t be that fool to bet everything on him.”

Hilla smiled and said in a low voice, “It was clear that he bets everything on you.”

“It’s been so many years. He has liked you since we were kids. It is really not easy for Mr. Key to like you for twenty years.”

As Hilla spoke, she moved towards Riya and stared at her, who was flushing and guilty. “Can’t you see it?”

It was impossible for a woman who was not blind to neglect such a hot guy around herself.

It was really rare that Riya was not annoyed by Hilla. She whispered, “You don’t know it. It’s difficult for friends.”

Riya couldn’t accept it because she always reckoned that they should be friends forever like they were in childhood.

It would be embarrassing for her to accept one of her friends since childhood would become her boyfriend and even her

Hilla looked at her and said, “Actually, you don’t need to do anything. I think Mr. Key has taken action. All you have to do is follow his lead.”

“Bullshit! What action did he take then?”

It is obvious from her expression that Riya knew what Hilla meant. But she changed the topic right away as if she was afraid that Hilla would find out something.

“All right. We are here for Halle. What takes her so long? Claus wouldn’t let her go?”

As soon as Riya reminded her of this, Hilla immediately turned his attention back to the window.

From the window of the third floor, they could see the door opposite them.

Halle came out from inside, by her side, Horton.

Hilla heaved a sigh of relief and stood up. “They are coming out.”

When she got up and was about to go downstairs, Riya stopped her. “What are you doing? Can’t you see that they are a close family?”

Riya felt jealous when she saw Hilla was so worried about her sister.

Since she was born, somehow, the children the Marley family got were all boys. She felt it was a pity that she didn’t have any sister like Hilla.

“But…”

While Hilla hesitated, Riya pulled her back to the seat.

“But what? Halle is not a child. I think Claus will accept her. She has got her happiness.”

Riya supported her chin and looked at the people downstairs.

Halle walked by Horton’s side. It was hard to tell if she was happy or sad.

She still hadn’t recovered from her shock and didn’t know how to deal with Claus.

Horton did not blame her for her silence. Indeed, for his father and wife, it was really hard to like each other.

It was the same with Claus. He was with a poker face. Only when he gazed at Emily, who was opposite him, would there be a smile on his face.

“Grandpa, see you next time.”

With an obedient look, Emily stared at the old man sitting in the wheelchair.

Claus opened his mouth and looked at Horton. “Although you don’t want to come

back, Emily was my granddaughter.”

After saying that, he looked at Halle and said awkwardly, “When will this one be due?” “As the grandfather, I should name my grandchildren!”

…

Halle sat in the car and could not help but turn to look at the figure behind the car.

The old man stared at their car.

“Mom, why does grandpa still not go back home?”

They had already left, so why was he still standing in place?

Emily raised her little face and asked seriously.

Halle smiled and said, “Because grandpa likes you and doesn’t want to be separated from you so quickly.”

Regardless of whether it was Claus’s true wish, he did not make things difficult for them, nor did he ask Horton to divorce her. He just hoped that Horton accepted the Hutt Group. This was his final hope.

Halle knew that she was not a good choice for a daughter-in-law. For Claus, if Horton didn’t resist firmly at the moment, he would not choose her.

“Then, next Sunday, I will come to see Grandpa again with Bell. He is so cute that grandpa will like him very much.”

Bell was a little pet dog that Horton had bought for Emily when he coaxed her. Emily always took care of it like a younger brother.

Halle smiled and nodded, “Okay, but you have to watch Bell and don’t let him disturb grandpa.”

“Bell is very obedient. I love him the most.” After saying that, she glanced at Horton, who was driving in front, and added, “I also love mom and dad the most.”

Now she liked to go to the park the most, and when playing with children, she could compare her father with others.

The kindergarten classmate asked her how old her father was. She thought about it and said that he was thirty years old. Then her classmate said that his father was older than her father. But she was not angry.

It was clear that her father was taller and more good-looking.

Halle held Emily in her arms and smiled, “Mom loves Emily the most.”

“Then does mom love dad?”

Halle was stunned for a moment and nodded with a red face, “Mommy loves Daddy too.”

Emily frowned unhappily, “Mom, don’t you love Emily the most?”

Halle was helpless and said, “Mom loves Emily and Dad, but the one she loves most is Emily.”

“How is Dad?”

Emily moved forward but was pulled back by Halle. She said, “Dad is driving.”

“Who does daddy love the most?”

Halle looked at the back of Emily awkwardly. The child’s question was indeed a lot of boring.

“Daddy loves you the most.”

When Halle was thinking about how to explain it to Emily, the man’s low answer came from the car.

Halle’s face was hot, and she quickly lowered her head. Emily blinked and asked, “Do you love Emily the most?”

Horton replied, “I love Emily the most.”

Hearing Emily’s excited cheers, the man in front of her slowly whispered, “I love your mother too.”

Halle didn’t know what to say.

It seemed that he was fooling the child.

When Halle’s car disappeared, Hilla felt relieved.

Riya glanced at her and said disdainfully, “Are the Hutts wolves or tigers? They scared you to this extent. Now they had left. Don’t worry.”

“The Hutts is not scary. What is scary is the kinship. He likes my sister, but he belongs to the Hutts. This truth will follow him for a lifetime.”

There were some things that humans could not choose freely.

Even if they could not see each other, they could not refuse to acknowledge each other.

Perhaps this was the best choice for everyone to live in peace.

“Alright, I used to see how close you sisters are every day. Now your sister is fine, so you can accompany me to buy something.”

Hilla frowned, “Do you still lack clothes and jewelry?”

“It’s not for me. My grandfather is celebrating his birthday next month. Every year, I have to pick out gifts for him. It is big trouble for me. There are so many people in the family. The gift can’t be the same as the previous years, and it has to be a new idea. It’s hard to think about it.”

Riya sighed. It was too difficult!

Maybe she just had to give coffin. But if her grandfather found out about this, he would probably kill her.

Hilla nodded in agreement and sighed, “It seems to be a bit difficult.”

“I have to rack my brains every year. I don’t know what to buy.”

Looking at her appearance, Hilla couldn’t help but smile, “Seriously? But I think you still have a relaxing life.”

“Go away. I have to express my nervousness every day?”

Hilla smiled and said casually, “Actually, it is not difficult for you to pick up a gift.”

“What?”

“You can take Mr. Key back. Not only your grandfather, but your whole family will probably be happy.”

“You’re joking with me.”

Hilla couldn’t hold it in any longer and finally laugh out loud, which made Riya get angrier with her again.

“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I’ll go with you to buy a gift.”

Hilla left with Riya to the mall with a smile.

There were many large shopping malls in River City. They had entered many shops, but they did not choose a suitable one.

There was a limited number of luxury goods for the old people. And the Marley family did not lack luxury goods.

“Shall we buy an antique?”

When Tyree was still alive, Orlenna had once ordered two antique vases with her name. They were very beautiful and meaningful.

“Those antiques are expensive and boring. I have already sent several of them. Besides, I have to buy them with my private money. If I buy too many antiques, I will go bankrupt, okay?”

“Why are you learning from Margaret now? Why are you so poor?”

Hilla couldn’t help but laugh. Looking at Riya’s awkward appearance, she found it interesting.

“Can I be the same as her? She can’t afford it at all. I don’t want to buy it. It’s boring. I want to buy something new.”

The Marley family didn’t lack money and those precious things.

Every year, her uncles would give her grandpa a big meal of precious things. The old man had a lot of.

Hilla nodded, “Why don’t you give him a toy for children?”

Riya was stunned for a moment, then nodded, “Okay, that’s good. I’ll give him a toy.”

They stood in a dazzling display of toys. Looking at the room full of things, they were excited.

“How old is your child? Is it a boy or a girl?”

Hilla looked at Riya in a daze. Riya also looked at her, and then they laughed.

“Wrap this baby bed for me. I also want that night lights.”

Not far away, a woman’s arrogant voice sounded. They looked over curiously.

Hilla saw the pregnant woman and the man standing next to her. They looked at each other. They didn’t know when Linus had discovered them.

Hilla turned to look at Riya and said, “There is nothing suitable here. Let’s go to another to take a look.”

Only when they left did the woman beside him pull him. She said, “Linus, what do you think of this?”

The man turned his head and replied, “Of course!”
