CHAPTER 810: CHAPTER 810: DO YOU WANT ME TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER SON?

Seraphina Linden has been in a slump lately. She really couldn’t understand how Yara, someone who had been living well with her in Alani for so many years, could just leave as soon as they returned.

In the end, she concluded that men are truly toxic!

Seraphina was heartbroken and sad for a long time, even putting aside the recovery of the martial arts manual. Now that the gloom has cleared and everyone is beginning to live well, she has come to recover the manual.

What she didn’t expect was Julian Rathborne agreed so readily, directly letting her come pick it up.

Seraphina followed the address to the Crawford family mansion. The estate was quite grand, with pavilions and towers—clearly a top-tier wealthy family’s residence.

At the time, Seraphina chose Julian Rathborne entirely because she favored his perfect genes. Now it seemed this man not only had good genes but was also ultra-wealthy.

As Seraphina walked in, she saw the lights up ahead. Old Mrs. Rathborne, Beryl, and Butler Felix were already standing outside to personally welcome her.

What a grand entrance.

Seraphina was stunned in place.

Old Mrs. Rathborne spotted Seraphina from afar. She quickly came forward, her joy so overwhelming as if to say, "My long-lost son!"

Old Mrs. Rathborne approached Seraphina, grabbed her hand, and thoroughly looked her up and down before nodding in satisfaction, "Good! Very good! Excellent!"

Seraphina felt a bit embarrassed. She blinked her lashes, "Excuse me... is this Julian Rathborne’s home? I’ve come to find Julian Rathborne."

"Yes, this is the Rathborne home. I am Marcus Kingsley’s mother," Old Mrs. Rathborne quickly introduced herself.

What?

So this is the grandmother of Caden, Pip, and Stella?

Seraphina curled her lips into a smile, "Hello, Mrs. Rathborne. I am Serena’s mommy, and my name is Seraphina Linden."

Old Mrs. Rathborne only knew her daughter-in-law was coming but didn’t know it was Serena’s mommy. Old Mrs. Rathborne paused and then realized, "It’s you? Is it really you? It was you who slept with my son Marcus Kingsley and ran away years ago?"

Seraphina, emmm...

Old Mrs. Rathborne grabbed her small hand, "Seraphina, our Rathborne family is a respectable family. Back then... when Marcus was with you, he was a... young virgin. You’ve left him once, you can’t leave him again. You must take full responsibility for him!"

"..." Seraphina realized, that Old Mrs. Rathborne was quite a lively sort.

Just then, a deep, magnetic voice came to her ears, "What are you all talking about?"

Seraphina looked up and saw Julian Rathborne in the corridor ahead.

Julian Rathborne had changed out of his black pajamas and was now wearing a clean, blue casual knit top and black pants. He stood there, noble and aloof, looking down at her with one hand in his pocket.

Before Seraphina could speak, Old Mrs. Rathborne had already smiled brightly and said, "What, even you want to know what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are chatting about?"

Mother-in... law?

Seraphina was confused. What did this mean?

Old Mrs. Rathborne was so enthusiastic, there must be a catch. Seraphina’s gaze turned to Julian Rathborne’s handsome face, searching for answers.

Julian Rathborne didn’t intend to hide anything from her; he had his own plans, "Come here."

He motioned for her to go over.

Old Mrs. Rathborne quickly let go of her hand, "Seraphina, go ahead, Marcus is calling you!"

Seraphina chuckled and quickly walked over to Julian Rathborne’s side and whispered, "Mr. Rathborne, what exactly is going on, where is that martial arts manual, quickly return it to me!"

"The martial arts manual is with me, don’t worry, you’ll get it, but you must do something for me," Julian Rathborne said.

"What thing?"

Julian Rathborne reached out and wrapped his arm around her fragrant shoulders, "My mom keeps pestering me for a daughter-in-law. Now you must cooperate with me in acting to satisfy my mom, understand what I mean?"

Seraphina understood; this was why he had called her over. Just as she thought, when did this man become so agreeable!

"You don’t want to? I don’t like to force people either; if you’re unwilling, forget it. I can find someone else, but that martial arts manual..." Julian Rathborne released her fragrant shoulders.

Seraphina quickly grabbed his sleeve, her eyes sparkling mischievously, "Deal! Isn’t it just acting to make the old lady happy? I’m quite charming, especially popular with the grandparent generation. I’ll definitely make Old Mrs. Rathborne happy!"

Julian Rathborne looked at her clever demeanor. Her smile was the best, bright and unmatched.

Julian Rathborne quickly withdrew his gaze, looking slightly awkward.

Then Seraphina let go of him and walked straight to Old Mrs. Rathborne, her voice sweet and lively, "Mom!"

"Yes!" Old Mrs. Rathborne quickly responded, this pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were really bold to call and answer each other.

Old Mrs. Rathborne even took out a large red envelope and stuffed it into Seraphina’s arms, "Seraphina, this is from your mom!"

Seraphina roughly understood that this red envelope was akin to a bribe or something, but it was so heavy. Old Mrs. Rathborne’s generosity was truly remarkable.

Seraphina accepted the red envelope and Julian Rathborne turned to go inside. Seraphina soon entered the mansion, arm in arm with Old Mrs. Rathborne.

...

In the living room, Old Mrs. Rathborne said, "Seraphina, it’s so late, have you eaten dinner yet? Would you like me to have Beryl make you something delicious?"

Seraphina felt a bit hungry, "Mom, then I won’t stand on ceremony."

"No need to be polite; this is your home too, Seraphina. Do you have any food preferences?"

Seraphina shook her head, "None. I’m not a picky eater, very easy to please."

"Not picky is good, good for childbearing!" Old Mrs. Rathborne said as she looked at Seraphina’s slender and toned figure, her eyes smiling, "Seraphina, would you like to give Marcus another son?"

Was Old Mrs. Rathborne being this direct?

Seraphina accepted it calmly and looked up at the man who was heading upstairs, calling sweetly, "Marcus."

Julian Rathborne paused his steps and turned to look at Seraphina.

Now, Seraphina stood beside Old Mrs. Rathborne, looking gentle and endearing. The warm golden light in the dining room highlighted her delicate features, making her radiant and charming. She tilted her head and smiled at him, "Marcus, mom wants me to give you another son, do you want that~"

That night, she had climbed onto his bed, onto his body, whispering to him, "I want to give you a daughter~"

Now, standing in the light, she looked at him with a smile, "Marcus, do you want me to give you another son~"

Julian Rathborne’s throat tightened, and he pursed his thin lips without speaking.

Seraphina withdrew her gaze and looked pitifully at Old Mrs. Rathborne, "Mom, I do want to give Marcus another son, but lately, Marcus has been so busy with work that he hasn’t had time to make a baby with me~"
