Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 1037

"You can't! Having children makes a person's life complete. Why don't you both want a child? I can't wait to have grandchildren! I object!" Camren immediately announced.

"Objection overruled." Ariel refused to back down. "If you want grandchildren, get the other daughter of yours to bear you some. She'll be more than happy to oblige."

"You and she are different. None of you can avoid this responsibility!" Camren said determinedly.

At that, Ariel muttered assertively, "It is entirely up to me whether or not to have children, so your words count for nothing."

"You—"

"That's enough. Just have your meal. The children will think for themselves and you don't need to be worried about them."

Camren wanted to say more but after Rebecca chastised him, all he could do was stare at them and sulk.

Seeing this, Alexia brought her bowl over to him to appease him. "Don't be upset, Grandpa Camren. Have some dumplings," she said while feeding him.

Camren cooperatively ate the dumplings and he beamed until wrinkles formed around his eyes. "Thank you, Lexi. You're so thoughtful. I'm not upset at all with you around me."

He then paused for a moment before continuing, "I like you more and more as I look at you. Lexi, do you want to be my granddaughter-in-law in the future?"

"No!"

Before Alexia could say anything, Alexander and Irvin both rejected Camren's suggestion at the same time.

Camren immediately turned around, only to see the father-son duo had vigilant and menacing expressions on their faces, much like a lion protecting its cubs.

The ambiance became a little awkward.

"Tsk!" Narissa shook her head. "With such a protective father and brother, it would be difficult for Alexia to marry in the future."

"She doesn't need to marry, then," Alexander said.

"Is she going to rely on you for the rest of her life? What if you're gone?" Camren persisted in his suggestion.

"She'll have me," Irvin added.

Camren was rendered speechless. He then intentionally diverted the subject by asking, "With such a father and brother, is it still possible for Alexia to have a taste of love?"

Everyone exchanged glances and smiled.

Camren was worrying for nothing. Of course, Alexander and Irvin would not make it impossible for Alexia to marry. However, with them around, men would surely find it more difficult to marry her.

Suddenly, Raymond walked into the hallway and said, "Boss, Captain Gleeman is here."

"Invite him in," Alexander instructed as he walked away from the dining table and into the living room.

As Elise had finished her food, she followed him as well.

Alexander pulled her to her feet. When Jackson walked in, they all exchanged greetings before taking their seats.

"Are you in Wegas for a mission, Captain Gleeman?" Alexander cut right to the chase.
