Chapter 8 Holy Moly

Finally, they got to the main point. Jasper hid his displeasure, speaking in a calm tone. "His name is Sean. Evian and I are planning to adopt him. From now on, he will be our son. Sean, this is your Uncle Alexander and Aunt Isabella. Say hello." Just as Sean was about to stand up and speak timidly, David interrupted him, wearing a grim expression. "Hold on. We haven't talked about this yet."

Sean's face turned pale, and he sat back down with his head hanging low.

Feeling a pang of sympathy for the child, Selena suggested, "Perhaps we should let Sean go out and play."

They should avoid discussing adult matters in front of a child.

"It's okay." Jasper, however, didn't seem too concerned about the child's emotional state.

David, who had been struggling to contain his frustration, finally spoke up. "I'll be blunt. Evie is only thirty and still young enough to have children. You brought the child back and told us about the adoption without even giving us a heads-up. Is this how things are done in the Lawson family?"

Paula responded, "You can't blame us for this. Ever since Evie's health was affected by complications during her first labor, the doctors have said it would be difficult for her to conceive again. We can't just sit around and waste time..."

Nine years ago, Evian had a stillborn child and has been unable to conceive since. However, the Quirks believed that with advancements in medicine, there was still a chance for Evian, who was still young, to have a child. They hadn't expected the Lawsons to show up with an adopted child.

Evian's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Are they that eager? Is Jasper dying and the Lawson family line about to end?Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Isabella, enjoying her fruit, dished out harsh inner remarks.

The Quirks, who were controlling their anger, almost laughed out loud when they heard that. Even the emotional Evian was left speechless.

Coughing lightly, Alexander held Isabella's arm and said, "It's almost time for dinner, so go easy on the fruits."

He then turned to Jasper. "What's the rush? Even if you think there's no hope, you shouldn't have chosen a child his age."

Isabella placed her fork down, inwardly praising Alexander. Wow, you've grasped the crux of the matter!
