Glinda didn’t get the chance to take the photo because Wendy quickly put it back in the box. “Grandma, this is a photo from when I was a child. It’s so ugly. I can’t let you see it.”

Glinda smiled and withdrew her hand. “I don’t think you could ever be ugly.”

Freddy added, “I completely agree.”

Wendy, hearing the warm reassurance from both Glinda and Freddy, lowered her head and took a sip of the chicken soup.

Just then, the maid’s voice broke the moment. “Mr. Hawk.”

Wendy looked up and saw Stanley had returned.

Glinda smiled brightly. “Stanley, you’re back?”

Stanley took off his jacket and handed it to the maid before walking into the living room with long strides.

Wendy, still holding her bowl, noticed something strange about the soup. It tasted odd, like some kind of herb had been added. “Grandma, did you put something in the chicken soup? It tastes strange.”

Glinda’s eyes sparkled. “Wendy, you noticed? I had them add some herbs to help with fertility.”

Fertility?

Wendy stared at the bowl, a sudden tension in her forehead. She couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. No matter how many herbs she drank, there was no way she could get pregnant since she and Stanley hadn’t even

Stanley sat down beside her, wrapping his arm around her shoulder in a protective gesture.

“Grandma, Wendy is still young. There’s no rush when it comes to children.”

Wendy glanced at Stanley’s handsome face. Was he trying to put the pressure on her?

“Grandma, actually, I do want to have children,” Wendy said.

Stanley froze, clearly surprised. He looked down at Wendy. She wanted children?

Wendy playfully fluttered her long lashes, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she met his gaze. “But Stanley’s been so busy with work lately. By the time he comes back to the room, he’s just too tired to perform.”

What did she just say? Too tired to perform?

Stanley’s face instantly turned dark, the color draining from it.

“Stanley, you’re so young, but you’re too tired to perform? Glinda gave him an assessing look. “No wonder you and Wendy haven’t made any progress. So the problem’s with you, huh?”

Stanley muttered, “It’s not like that, Grandma…”

“I’ll have someone make you a special soup tomorrow,” Glinda said seriously. “You need to build up your strength until you give us a baby for the Hawk family!”

Stanley was speechless.

Wendy stifled a laugh, her lips curling into a sly grin.

Stanley shot her a sharp look, glaring at her in displeasure,
