Chapter 1991: 562: Two Faces_5

She had done her research.

There were not a few cases like hers nationwide, and there were even couples in their sixties who had conceived naturally.

Mrs. Summer came upstairs.

Her husband didn’t go out today and was sitting in the office.

Mrs. Summer approached, "Have you thought it through?"

At her words, Mr. Beckman was momentarily stunned.

Although his wife didn’t specify, he knew what she was referring to.

"Have you considered what we’d be facing if we really have another child?" NovelFire

"I know," Mrs. Summer continued, "This isn’t a whim for me, but a well-considered decision. Given our financial condition and age, having a second child is not a problem."

The main account was ruined, so they could only start over with a sub-account.

While they still had the chance to conceive.

As she finished speaking, Mrs. Summer added, "Haven’t you always regretted not having a son to take over the family business?"

Hearing this, Mr. Beckman smiled and said, "How do you know for sure that it’s going to be a son? In fact, over the years, I’ve come to care less about that, son or daughter, it’s all the same to me."

Mrs. Summer nodded, "There is indeed no difference between sons and daughters, but do you think Jean can shoulder the responsibility? If we have a second child now, we can start anew with their upbringing. If we were to leave the Xia Group entirely in Jean’s hands, it will be doomed sooner or later."

As a mother, Mrs. Summer didn’t want to give up on her daughter lightly, but she had no other choice.

She had given Jean chances.

But Jean didn’t cherish them.

She had no choice but to look for other solutions.

"Isn’t there Brandon?" Mr. Beckman added, "If Brandon and Jean get married, we wouldn’t need to worry about this issue."

Mrs. Summer shook her head, "Brandon will never marry Jean, and besides, he brought his girlfriend home today. Judging by Mary Perryne’s appearance with the Thompson couple, it’s quite obvious that they have already accepted that girl as their future daughter-in-law."

At this, Mr. Beckman narrowed his eyes; he had originally intended to place his hopes on the Thompson Clan.

But now...

A moment later, he looked at Mrs. Summer, "How about this, let’s leave it to fate? We’ll just let nature take its course, and without any medical intervention, if we can still conceive another life, then let’s have the child!"

Mr. Beckman was not afraid of anything, but he especially feared that the business empire he had built would be destroyed by his own daughter.

Through his observations over time, he had also realized that Jean was not cut out for business.

"Okay," Mrs. Summer nodded.

Before formulating the idea of having a second child, she had already consulted a doctor, who told her that with her physical condition, having another child should not be a difficult issue.

At five in the afternoon, Mandel Thompson dropped Isla Astir home.

Olivia Armstrong smiled and asked, "Isla, where did you go today? You’re back quite early."

Isla Astir looked at Olivia, "I accompanied my boyfriend to meet his parents."

At these words, Olivia was completely taken aback. Correct content is on NovelFire)

A moment later, she burst into laughter, "Isla, you’re joking with me, right?"

How could that be possible?

Isla Astir shook her head, "I’m not joking with you, I really did go to meet my boyfriend’s parents."

Olivia swallowed hard, "Then who is your boyfriend?"

"It’s someone you know," Isla Astir answered.

Olivia’s eyes widened, "No, it couldn’t be Thompson, could it?"

"Correct," Isla Astir nodded slightly.

My goodness!

Olivia grabbed Isla Astir’s arm, "Isla, are you not joking with mom?!"

Isla Astir replied with a smile, "Why would I joke about this with you? Brandon also asked when he can come visit our home!"

Mandel Thompson had always been Olivia’s ideal son-in-law in her eyes.

She never expected that one day her dream would come true.

The feeling was quite wondrous.

Olivia swallowed, "Then when your dad comes back, we’ll discuss this matter."

As she finished speaking, Olivia couldn’t help but ask further, "Isla, how long has this been going on? How come I didn’t know anything about it?"

Although she had her suspicions, she was never certain.

Isla Astir looked at her mother, "We’ve been together for half a year."

Half a year?

Olivia laughed, "You did keep it quite secret!"

"What secret keeping?" Just then, William Astir came back from walking the dog outside, and hearing the conversation, he asked in confusion.

Olivia looked at William Astir, "Your daughter has a boyfriend."

A boyfriend?

Upon hearing this, William Astir immediately adopted a vigilant mode, "With whom?"

Their painstakingly nurtured cabbage had finally been hogged by a pig.

That was just infuriating!

Isla Astir answered, "Mandel Thompson."

At this, William Astir instantly put on a beaming face, "Mr. Thompson?"

Isla Astir: "..."

She never knew her father had such a double face.
