Fiona raised her face with anger at the word "illegitimate", and turned back, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your mother is very loyal. Not a easy woman. I only love your dad!"
Sheila sighed in disappointment, "I thought I could become Lyra's long-lost sister-in-law, but it seems like it's impossible."
Edward laughed while coaxing the baby, "Babe, you are still a sister-in-law now. Mr. Malcolm just call Fiona mom."
Sheila thought about it and turned happy again, but she was curious about Malcolm's background.
"Since Mr. Malcolm, you're my elder brother, then...then why are you the White? Could it be that you were taken away by the White family by mistake many years ago. You two switched?"
Fiona glared at her in disgust, "You've read too many novels and watched a lot of TV dramas. How can it happen in real life?"
Sheila was even more confused, "What happens on earth? Is Mr. Malcolm the Freeman or the White?"
Malcolm patted Fiona gently on the back, smoothing for her, "It's a long story, mom. I want to talk to you alone."
Fiona looked up and saw the solemnity and attention in his pupils, "Okay, let's go to the study and talk about it. It's more soundproof there."
The two quickly left the hall one after the other.
Lyra watched Malcolm's back, with her suspicions deepening.
Malcolm was going to chat with Fiona alone behind her back. What would he say to Fiona?
As she was just thinking about it, Sheila stepped forward and took her arm, "Lyra, have you had breakfast? I'll ask the chef to cook a sumptuous meal with your favorite taste. Celebrate it for coming home with my brother."
Edward reminded her, "Babe, how can breakfast be a sumptuous meal? It's not good for everybody's health. Don't be too enthusiastic!"
Sheila glared at him, "Anyway, Lyra understands what I mean. I don't dare to hurt her but I'm sincere."
Lyra watched the bickering of the young couple and said with a smile, "I indeed haven't had breakfast but you don't have to treat me like a guest. Malcolm is willing to come back here and he must treat you as his families. Just make it simple. Prepare whatever you usually eat."
"No, I need to prepare more for the exquisite breakfast."
Fiona and Malcolm went to the study to discuss the matter, and Sheila took the decision by herself and said to the butler, "Go to the kitchen. Let them prepare more breakfast, and make it more delicate."
"Yes."
The breakfast matter was settled, and Lyra took the initiative to walk up to Edward and look at the little baby in his arms.
"How old?" she asked.
Edward: "It's only three months."
"He's elder than my two babies. You're a brother."
Edward took the initiative to hand the baby over, "Would you like to hug him? Joshua is a little naughty, but in your arms, he can definitely behave well."
Since she gave birth to two babies, Lyra had been very fond of children, and she took the baby boy carefully.
Joshua was not noisy and even grinned at Lyra. He was cute and seemed to like Lyra very much.
Sheila stood beside her for a while. Her husband and Lyra seemed to know each other well, which made her feel a little strange.
That was because she didn't know that Edward was Lyra's former subordinate of Dark Bell.
Entering the Freeman Group to work and monitoring the top executives of the Group were all orders from Lyra.
Lyra focused on Joshua in her arm , "Your baby boy looks in good spirits, much more lively than my Spencer. They will do workout and exercise when they grow up. If you two have any educational difficulties about Joshua in the future, you can come find me and Malcolm."
Edward was flattered, "Thank you very much on behalf of Joshua."
After chatting for more than half an hour, the breakfast was almost ready.
Lyra, Sheila and Edward went to the dining room to take their seats.
Since Fiona and Malcolm hadn't come, the three continued to chat at the dinner table.
After waiting for another ten minutes, Fiona and Malcolm hadn't returned from the study.
Lyra felt it a little strange, wondering what they were talking about.
Malcolm was hiding something about the Freeman family from her. What was it?
