Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! by Nora Hoover

Chapter 1173 Can't Be Forced

"It's totally normal for her to think that way," Sadie muttered, keeping her voice low. "Nobody wants their son to marry someone who can't give them an heir. Plus, the Louis family is royalty."

"How can Duchess Louis pull this crap? She's totally pushing you," Arya fumed, feeling all riled up for Sadie. "They've scored big time by marrying you. With Mr. James's name, the Louis family is set in the business world. And we didn't beg them to marry you. You told Mr. Louis from the start you didn't love him. He was the one who insisted on marrying you. And now, even before the wedding, they're already stressing about grandkids. Seriously, how can they do this?" Sadie shot Arya a stern look. Arya pouted, biting her tongue but still fuming inside.

"They act like they don't care about money, but I call BS," Annika chimed in. "Maybe they just can't keep up in the royal family and are pretending to save face."

"Yeah, that's true," Sadie said with a bitter smile. "Honestly, the only one who really doesn't care about profits is Joe."

She had long figured out that the Louis family wasn't as simple as they seemed.

"I don't think Barbara's innocent either," Annika said with a mocking sneer. "I noticed earlier when Duchess Louis gave you a gift, Barbara kept staring at it with this look in her eyes..." Annika paused, thinking. "A look of longing and disappointment."

"Yeah, you nailed it," Sadie nodded approvingly.

"What do you mean?" Arya asked, still confused. "What longing, what disappointment?"
