Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 393: Angry Aiden

"Please calm down, everyone," Marina said, interrupting before the argument turned into a heated one. She looked at her husband and said, "Aeldric, it’s the first time we are meeting our son’s family. Instead of being happy, you are already set on laying your claim on the kids—kids who belong more to their own father than their grandfather."

Aeldric frowned to see his wife taking someone else’s side instead of his. "Marina, I was—"

"Aeldric, back then you separated Alexander from me and raised him on your own. You took away my son, but I won’t tolerate it if you do the same with our grandsons. They are still young."

"Alexander was of their age when I started training him, and look at him—how capable he is..."

"Capable enough to have his family in secret and not even want his father to know about it?" Marina countered. "Is this what you wanted from your son? He is clearly not pleased with your ways and wants to keep his kids away. Isn’t that already clear to you?"

Aeldric glared at Alexander and then looked at Serena. "It’s her who ruined my son."

"Father, you might want to consider your words before saying anything to my woman," Alexander said. "Though not married legally, she is as important to me as Mother is to you."

"Did you hear that?" Marina asked. "Now stop all this and let me have a peaceful time with my grandkids."

She looked at the two young ones. "Will you come to your grandma?"

This time, the kids didn’t look at their parents for approval and went to the kind-looking old woman, while Aeldric stayed quiet, fuming inside.

Though he was the king here, when Marina spoke, he chose to keep quiet. She was the woman he once loved, but his power, arrogance and ego had gotten the better of him. Still, she was the only person who could shut him up, and he didn’t retaliate.

Even Mallory could say nothing. Her father would never tolerate others refuting his wife if he himself had given in to her.
