Chapter 258: Revised: Chapter 257 Joint Liability

She really couldn’t bear it anymore and directly said, "Sister Alice, are you daydreaming?"

"Dreaming? You’re the one dreaming! What’s the point of calling Edwin here? What can he do here? The kid’s here, they’re married, and now divorced, that’s it. Just talk about Alexander, don’t bring up Edwin."

Old Lady Blake thought about Edwin Blake’s recent attitude towards Ivy River and was very satisfied.

But she chose not to mention it.

To avoid more trouble later.

Old Lady Hodges was unhappy, "No way, brothers should share blessings and hardships together. You can’t spoil the children, you must always motivate them so they’ll take it to heart."

Old Lady Blake: "..."

Saying that might make the kids more rebellious.

As if nagging every day would make them remember.

Soren Hodges came in awkwardly, "Alexander will be home soon. Edwin... Edwin is in a meeting and might take a while."

"Alright, when Alexander gets back, I’ll make him kneel and reflect first."

Old Lady Hodges nodded her head and immediately started scolding, "Look at this good son you raised. If he had an illegitimate child, I’d still be a bit happier. At least the Hodges family wouldn’t be without an heir. Now look at you, spoiling him every day, really!"

"Mom... you can’t say these things in front of the kids later."

Soren Hodges was speechless.

His mother was fine in every way.

Except she couldn’t control her mouth, saying whatever came to mind.

"Don’t worry about me, Soren. Either find someone and give me another child to play with, or let me handle Alexander without your interference, or I’ll scold you too."

Old Lady Hodges continued scolding.

Soren Hodges looked at her helplessly, "Mom... I’m over fifty, where am I going to have a second child..."

"Then keep your mouth shut later and don’t say a word. No matter what I say!"

Soren Hodges couldn’t help but sigh deeply and stopped talking.

Old Lady Blake frowned tightly and also chose to remain silent.

The three of them stayed silent until the sound of a car came from outside.

Old Lady Hodges got excited, "Go see if it’s Alexander or Edwin."

"Mom, it’s Alexander. Edwin wouldn’t drive this kind of sports car; only your grandson likes this noisy exhaust."

Soren Hodges didn’t move, even wanting to change to a more comfortable sitting position.

Old Lady Blake thought the next events would be interesting, she wobbled to her feet, "I’ll sit over there so I don’t affect your performance."

The three waited for a long time but saw no sign of Alexander Hodges.

Soren Hodges quickly got up, "I’ll go out and check, Mom, don’t worry."

After stepping outside, he curiously peeked into the car window at Alexander inside.

Seeing him, Alexander Hodges rolled down the window, "Dad? Why are you out here?"

"I had to come out! Why aren’t you going inside? Hurry up."

Alexander shook his head and refused, "No, I’m not going. Grandma’s probably in a rage right now. I’ll wait for my brother to come back and go in together."

"You go first, or Grandma will scold both of us. Hurry!"

Soren Hodges opened the car door as he spoke.

Alexander didn’t move, "No, I’ll wait for my brother. I just called him, he’s on his way. The first thing Grandma did after coming back was come to Grandma Blake’s, and the second thing was to call me to get scolded."

"You know that, and you’re still not going in! Hurry, or Grandma will really get mad!"

Soren urged.

"No way. When my brother gets here, he’ll find a way to deal with Grandma. Even if he can’t, we’ll get scolded together."

Alexander analyzed, "Look, the usual pattern is the two of us get a scolding, then it’s your turn, followed by Grandma reluctantly going home with us."

"True, but this time your brother might not suffer with you because Grandma Blake won’t join the battle. Now, I’ve been out here nearly ten minutes, your grandma is getting anxious. Think it through."

Soren checked the time.

"Why shouldn’t my brother get scolded? Grandma Blake easily scolds him!"

Alexander felt upset.

But suddenly a thought crossed his mind, "Is it because Edwin has a child now?"

Soren smiled and nodded, "Yes, my smart son."

Alexander immediately jumped out of the car and rushed into the house, "Dad, you should have told me earlier! Grandma, you’re finally back!"

He didn’t enter the house but his voice had already reached inside.

Soren smiled and followed unhurriedly.

"Grandma, Grandma Blake, I’m back! Sorry, there was a bit of traffic."

"Grandma, why did you come back so suddenly? You should have told your grandson, so I could see my beautiful grandma first. You’ve had a long trip, let me massage your legs."

"Grandma, you don’t know, I missed you so much. I even lost weight missing you these past months. See for yourself."

Alexander came in and rushed to Old Lady Hodges.

He didn’t miss a beat, massaging shoulders and legs.

This routine was very familiar.

Old Lady Hodges wasn’t having it, "Get away, don’t touch me, stay away."

Alexander felt embarrassed for a moment, then turned to Old Lady Blake, "Grandma Blake~"

Old Lady Blake immediately interrupted, "Don’t act cute with me. Listen to your grandmother this time, no external help."

Old Lady Hodges commanded, "Alexander, kneel."

Alexander immediately knelt down, "Yes, Grandma."

He thought to himself, if he knew it was this serious,

He wouldn’t have come in, even if it cost him his life. He’d wait for Edwin to get home first!

Old Lady Hodges scolded Soren, "You kneel too. A son not taught is a father’s fault. Alexander is like this because you spoiled him! If you set a good example, he wouldn’t be this way."

Alexander immediately agreed, "Grandma is right!"

"Shut up!" Soren glared at him, feeling miserable, "Mom, why bring me into this because of this brat?"

"Are you his father or not? If you are, kneel together!"

Soren sighed, "Mom, it’s not right. What if Edwin sees this when he comes back? How can I face anyone later?"

"Your son doesn’t even have a wife; do you think I care about face now!"

In the end, Soren knelt down too.

Old Lady Blake said coldly, "Soren, get up. Don’t always do what your mom says. You’re over fifty, why still following her every word!"

Soren looked helplessly at Old Lady Blake, "Aunt Alice, this..."

"I told you to get up, so get up!"

Old Lady Blake said loudly.

Old Lady Hodges glanced at her, "Don’t you dare! Stay kneeling until I’m no longer angry. Now, when are you finding a wife for Alexander?"

Old Lady Blake scolded, "The kid’s grown up already. It’s enough to make Alexander kneel, don’t blame everyone! Get up, hurry!"

With that.

She wobbled to her feet and helped Soren up.

Soren quickly said, "Aunt Alice, let me get up myself, don’t get too excited, take care."

"Grandma, Grandma Hodges, I’m back." Edwin Blake’s figure appeared in the living room.

Soren stood stiffly, quickly helping Old Lady Blake to sit on the sofa.
