Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn) novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249 His Belated Apology

In the hallway of the Clark mansion, Alexander introduced Kenneth's mother to Emerson, "Emerson, this is Grandma!"

Although Emerson was a bit shy, he mustered up the courage and approached Athena, jumping into her arms.

Athena held the little boy and experienced a whirlwind of emotions.

There was delight, but also a hint of guilt!

Despite her advanced age, she insisted on holding Emerson and planting a gentle kiss on his cheek.

The gifts she had brought were initially intended to secure a marriage for her son.

But now, all those gifts were given to her grandson.

As Kenneth sat beside Athena, his gaze lingered on the child for a moment before shifting to Eloise, who was sitting across from him.

Eloise understood his curiosity and admitted, "Yes, we have a child!"

Kenneth closed his eyes gently, trying to find the truth.

It must have been during his last visit to Gredax when she became pregnant.

And when she went to Vadiff, she must have already known about the baby.

At that time, how did she have the courage to end their relationship?

Kenneth failed to make it clear, but he realized that their relationship had ended.

He was no longer the naive young man. He understood that a woman, who could stay away from home for two years and raise a child alone, must bear her love for the child and harbor some resentment towards him.

Kenneth's gaze darkened.

Suddenly, he remembered what Benjamin had previously mentioned: "A girl in her thirties who doesn't get married or live alone, how can she live well?"

Just as he was lost in these thoughts, Benjamin returned with Madelyn.

Benjamin observed the scene in the hall and smiled, "What's going on today? Why is everyone gathered here?"

He lovingly touched Emerson's face and warmly greeted Athena.

Athena had always admired Benjamin, and now she still relied on his help. So, her admiration for him was stronger.

Benjamin sat down with Madelyn, quickly grasping the situation.

He glanced at his own father, and Alexander also looked back at his son.

They exchanged glances, neither of them wanting to be the villain in this situation.

Finally, it was Brianna who broke the silence.

Tearfully, she called out, "Alexander!"

Alexander got her meaning and took a sip of coffee.

He smiled and said to Athena, "The kids are so naughty to make trouble. Let's hear their suggestions."

Athena finally rose from her seat.

Observing the awkward situation, Madelyn took Emerson outside.

With no children present, Athena found it easier to take action.

She spoke sternly, "Kenneth, the Clark and Ryan families are already married. What's more, Eloise is younger than you... How could you hurt her?! You even left her and made her bring up Emerson alone for many years! How dare you!"

Kenneth, standing before her, was extremely obedient.

His face was filled with shame. "I'm sorry, Grandma!"

Athena waved her hand. "You owe an apology to Eloise, not me! You have to take some action now."

Kenneth went straight to Alexander and Brianna, then knelt down.

They were shocked by his decisiveness.

Considering Kenneth's respected status, it seemed out of character for him to plead or kneel before others.

Alexander, being a reasonable person, understood that Eloise must have had genuine feelings for Kenneth, as evidenced by her secret birth of Emerson.

Moreover, Alexander had already fought with Benjamin.

Considering that, Alexander gave a glance to his wife.

Then Brianna helped Kenneth up and gently said, "It is better for you to have a discussion. After all, Elosie and you already have a child."

Athena felt even more ashamed.

Benjamin looked at his sister and inquired. "Eloise, what's your opinion?"

Eloise calmly stared at Kenneth, and he returned her gaze.

She was clearly knowing that now due to Emerson, he was obligated to marry her.

However, she had no desire to marry him!

Why did she have to choose him?

Suddenly, Kenneth interrupted her thought.

"We need to have a private discussion," he said.

Eloise looked at her brother.

And Benjamin took a sip of coffee and sneered softly, "It's a good idea for you two. Don't worry, he is too old to hurt you."

Indeed, there were some truths that were unsuitable for the elders to hear.

So Eloise agreed, and they moved to a small flower hall.

Eloise stood by the window, her back turned to Kenneth.

She softly confessed the truth, "I discovered I was pregnant during our last meeting! But I only found out after we broke up."

Kenneth gazed at her back, shaking his head.

He replied gently, "You're lying, Eloise. You already knew before we broke up, didn't you?"
