No Renewal My Contract Husband (Nella and Alfred) novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197 Family Line

Hearing Nella say that, Regis didn’t press the issue.

“Alright, then I won’t keep you. Sit a little longer and then head back.”

Finished

Seeing how easygoing Regis was, Alfred didn’t even bother to say a single word to urge him otherwise.

He shot his grandfather a look full of quiet resentment.

Other people’s grandpas always side with their own grandsons. Why is mine so easygoing, helping his granddaughter- in-law divorce me?

Regis noticed the look and immediately shot one back.

What are you looking at?

You don’t have the ability to keep your wife, and now you want to use me, an old man, to guilt her into staying?

He didn’t play that moral blackmail nonsense.

Meanwhile, Larissa and Tyler caught the resentment in Alfred’s eyes.

The couple exchanged a glance, then Larissa turned to Nella and said, “Nella, staying one night really isn’t a big deal. Worst case, Alfred can drive you to the hospital early tomorrow morning.”

She thought she was helping Alfred speak up and even straightened her back a little.

“If you ask me, whether you go to work or not doesn’t really matter. The Keywoods can afford to support you. Hospital work is so busy, and you’ve been married to Alfred for almost three years now, yet there’s no good news from you. Dad has been dreaming of holding a great-grandkid.”

As she spoke, she looked at Regis with an ingratiating smile and added, “Isn’t that right, Dad?”

At his age, Regis naturally hoped to hold a great-grandchild one day.

But he wasn’t an old-fashioned fossil who pushed his younger generation to have kids.

Nor did he have the nerve to ask his granddaughter-in-law to give up her career to have children.

Hearing his daughter say this, he shot her a sharp glare.

“Having children is something Alfred and Nella have their own plans for. Who asked you to stick your nose in?”

Being scolded, Larissa felt wronged.

“Dad, listen to how you’re talking. Alfred is my nephew, and I’m his aunt. Can’t I show a little concern about the family line?”

“Heh!”

Regis snorted coldly. “Sebastian isn’t even in a hurry to be a grandpa, yet you’re hopping around trying to

become a great-aunt already?”

“Dad!”

Larissa flushed, muttering in dissatisfaction.

She wanted to say more, but Tyler stopped her.

Tyler gestured toward Alfred with his eyes.

Larissa followed his gaze and saw that Alfred’s expression looked a little strange.

He wasn’t angry. More like embarrassed and awkward.

Could it be… that Alfred can’t perform in bed?

Larissa’s imagination immediately ran wild as she exchanged looks with Tyler.

That can’t be right.

With that build, Alfred doesn’t look incapable at all.

Could he be all looks and no substance?

Then bringing up children would be poking him right in a sore spot.

Damn. I’ve stepped on a landmine.

Finished

Alfred had no idea what wild thoughts his aunt was having. But the moment Larissa mentioned children, his heart skipped.

In another month, it would be three full years since he and Nella got married.

It wasn’t that they’d never shared a bed.

And it wasn’t that he was so abstinent that he could sit unmoved by temptation.

It was just that he’d thought once that line of intimacy was crossed, it would be hard to end things cleanly.

He’d even believed Nella might cling to him and refuse to divorce once that boundary was crossed.

So he’d restrained his instincts and desires as a man.

And when he really couldn’t hold back anymore, he handled it himself.
