Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

After asking about her son, Dolores asked about Noah’s son, “Why didn’t I see Edmund when we were eating just now?”

“Alas.” He wouldn’t have sighed if his son was not brought up. Bringing him up would just induce his headache, “He was unwilling to enlist in the military back then as he insisted to do what he loved. Now, he doesn’t even have any achievements. He has been spoiled greatly by his mum.”

“Do you mean that he’s my son and not yours?” Chloe came in with a tray of freshly sliced fruits and she happened to overhear Noah’s words. She refuted, “You said that I keep spoiling him, but did you ever keep him in check?”

“You know that I am always swamped with work,” Noah replied albeit a little unconvincingly and weakly.

“You are saying that you are busy, so you have no time to look after him. I am the one doing that, yet you are saying that I am spoiling him. You’re putting me in a difficult position here.” Chloe put the tray down on the table and smiled at Dolores, “Edmund is just like him when he was still young. He wouldn’t listen to his parents, and all he knows is going out and fool around.”

Dolores smiled back at her, “The son naturally takes after the father.”
