Super Wife's Three Babies novel Chapter 313

Chapter 313 Teach Them a Lesson?

Lara said courtly, “Obviously, you put in a lot of effort into preparing your gift and you’re certainly more considerate than most of us because none of our gifts have ever managed to make him so happy.”

Her remark could be interpreted as being somewhat provocative. After listening to what she said, the first thing that popped up in the rest of their minds was how bad Old Man Nolan’s taste was. Other than that, they also resented Olivia for stealing their limelights because they had spent a fortune on their gifts for the old man only to see them being overshadowed by hers which might not even be worth a hundred bucks. Obviously, Lara was trying to incite the rest of her family to hate Olivia.

With a smile, Olivia explained, “Of course Master Merlin would love the gifts from all of you. As I’m not as rich as you guys, I can only make up to it by putting in more effort. I’m sure he just doesn’t have the heart to criticise my shabby gift because he knows how I hate to feel embarrassed.”

Edward too walked over to her and said, “There’s no need to be so modest because you and your son should be proud of your gifts which are able to make Grandpa so happy.”

Lara laughed along and chimed in, “Indeed, especially so for the gift from the little boy.” With that, she bent down slightly and beamed at North, “Little boy, how old are you?”

North answered her confidently, “I’m six-and-a-half years old!”

Softening her tone, Lara asked the little boy what sounded like an attempt to pry for more information, “I can see you’re with your Mommy. What about your Daddy?”

Upon listening to her question, Eugene’s face fell immediately and he spoke in a cold tone, “We’d better not poke our noses in their private affairs!”

At the same time, Olivia pulled North to her and answered with a blank expression, “His Daddy has passed away. Aunt Lara, I don’t think that’s the question you should pose to a little boy.”

As soon as she said that, North secretly took a peek at Eugene’s face to confirm that his expression had turned bleaker.

North kept his lips pursed because he was having difficulty stopping a grin from emerging on his face.

In the meantime, Eugene was looking sullen thinking that it was the second time he was described as a dead man by Olivia.
