Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 716

Chapter 716

Joanne was stunned as she looked at him in disbelief.

'Have a baby so quickly? Do you think I'm a childbirth machine?'

Seeing her surprised expression, Edwin did not intend to explain himself any further. His playful eyes flashed as he spoke, "What? Do you want me to eat with you?"

"I'm going to eat right away’" Joanne immediately ran to the dining room with the intention of delaying whatever Edwin had planned for tonight.

Edwin pulled his tie off and casually threw his coat on the couch.

The playful expression on his face was replaced by irritability.

Granny Atherton had assumed that Joanne was already pregnant and it would take at most two to three months before her belly became visibly swollen.

If he had told his grandmother that Joanne was not pregnant, it would have been fine, still, now the existence of Quinn brought back Granny Atherton’s most painful memory, and she was in a bad mood, not to mention the pain she would suffer if she found out the truth about her great-grandchildren.

He was afraid that Granny Atherton would be heartbroken, learning two bad news at a time.

The best way at the moment was to keep the lie as truthful as possible.

Edwin's deep gaze glanced at Joanne, who was hastily eating in the dining room. He hoped she could be a little help here and get pregnant sooner to make his grandmother happy again.

In the past six months, Granny Atherton looked both mentally and physically healthy on the outside, but Edwin knew her health was deteriorating.

Joanne was sitting in the dining room, having her meal. From time to time, she could catch a glimpse of Edwin looking at her, scratching his head nervously.

Seeing Edwin suddenly stand up from the couch, she shrank back almost reflexively.

Fortunately, Edwin went to the study on the second floor. Joanne sighed as he moved upstairs.

She once again suspected she was a fool for promising to sign a contract with him to have a child.

'Oh dear, I'm sorry for you!'

Joanne kept apologizing to her idol and dream lover in her heart while she was having her dinner. After spending a long time in the dining room, she returned to her room.

As soon as she came out of the shower, she heard the sound of the door lock twisting before she had time to dry her hair. She did not have to look back to know that it was the beast she was living with, Edwin.
