My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 386

Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Forcing Me to Get Tough

The housekeeper saw how agitated she was and quickly tried to calm her down.

"Ma’am, you’re not planning on playing hardball with the Young Master, are you? With his temper, if he found out you were going behind his back... I thought you handled it quite well last time. Just calm down a bit. How about this? I have an idea..."

A few minutes later, after getting rid of Amina’s two brothers with some excuse, Mrs. Walton left the house.

Sitting in the car, she calmly called Amina.

"Darling, what are you up to? I miss you and was hoping we could chat. Do you have time?"

Amina was flustered by the call, but this was Zeke’s mother, after all. Flustered or not, she had to face her.

"I have time, Auntie. Where should I meet you?"

Mrs. Walton, assuming she was at work, sent her an address.

Soon, Amina arrived on her electric scooter.

Seeing that she wasn’t wearing a delivery driver’s uniform, Mrs. Walton assumed she had changed clothes just for the meeting.

"So considerate! Did you change clothes just to see me? Did I interrupt your work?"

Amina, a bit clueless, told her the truth.

"No, I’m not working today. You know how I was taking the adult self-study exam? I got into Veridia University of Science and Technology. Zeke wants me to focus on my studies. He was worried that delivering food would interfere, so he told me to quit my job for now."

’Zeke told her to quit her job? So he’s completely supporting her, and her grandmother too?’

The thought of those two greedy brothers, and the idea that if Amina married into their family, they would be forever entangled with that rotten, broken home, made Mrs. Walton’s anger flare up.

But she forcefully suppressed it.

"You were walking a little strangely today. I thought you’d hurt yourself and that’s why you weren’t at work. Turns out you’re not working at all anymore."

Amina’s face instantly turned red.

’Was my walk that obvious?’

’It’s all Zeke’s fault... he’s just relentless every day...’

Although Amina didn’t say a word, Mrs. Walton understood everything in an instant from her flushed little face.

’Zeke won’t let her work. Don’t tell me he wants her to stay home and get pregnant? Is he really planning to produce a grandchild for me to hold?’

’Though she was indeed at an age where she wanted grandchildren, she had no interest in a grandchild from that kind of bloodline, from that sort of trash!’

After some more meaningless small talk, Mrs. Walton sent Amina on her way and, with a grim face, instructed the housekeeper.

"Call her two brothers. Tell them to come to the house."

Amina’s two brothers were at home, plotting their next move.

’That woman must be deliberately avoiding us, using a business trip as an excuse. She has no intention of solving the problem!’

If this kept up, putting it off from today to tomorrow, and tomorrow to the day after, they couldn’t afford to wait.

’If this doesn’t work, we’ll play hardball. We’ll go straight to the TV station reporters!’

But they didn’t even know where the TV station was...

As the two of them were buzzing around at home like headless flies, they unexpectedly got a call. Mrs. Walton was back and wanted them to come over.

"She knows what’s good for her! Let’s go!"

The two of them took a taxi to the Walton estate again.
