The Faulkner Family’s old residence.
After Jasper Faulkner and Caleb Faulkner returned home, two bowls of medicinal soup were placed in front of them.
Jasper Faulkner furrowed his brows, feeling extremely reluctant inside.
Beside him, Caleb Faulkner obediently started drinking it.
Alaric Faulkner glanced at the two and asked, "Did you go for a blood test today?"
"Yes, we went ahead earlier." Caleb Faulkner quickly answered.
Feeling inexplicably guilty, his dad was so smart, they had to be careful not to get found out.
Jasper Faulkner frowned as he drank the dark soup, Mrs. Faulkner looked at him with discontent and said, "What’s with your face? You’ve just had your blood drawn today, you need to replenish."
Jasper Faulkner drank it with a miserable look, as if it was going to kill him.
Faye Sterling looked at Caleb Faulkner with a face full of gentle concern, "Caleb, drink slowly."
Caleb Faulkner rolled his eyes in the bowl, saying nothing.
Mrs. Faulkner looked at Caleb Faulkner, her eyes full of love, then turned to Jasper Faulkner, her expression stern, "Jasper, when will you agree to settle things with The Zane Family?"
Jasper Faulkner chuckled, "The company has been really busy lately, there’s no time."
He’s a free spirit, dislikes being constrained, and even less wants to jump into the grave of marriage.
But since Alaric Faulkner was trapped and had Caleb, Mrs. Faulkner could only set her sights on him, wanting to make the decision for him to marry a wealthy and prestigious heiress.
Jasper Faulkner kept giving his brother eye signals, Brother, quickly help say something.
Alaric Faulkner glanced at him and spoke, "The company is indeed quite busy lately."
With Alaric Faulkner speaking, Mrs. Faulkner didn’t say much more, she only left a sentence: It must be settled by the end of the year.
Upon hearing Mrs. Faulkner mention Jasper Faulkner getting married, Faye Sterling’s eyes shifted.
Seven years have passed, and she still hasn’t been able to marry Alaric Faulkner, if she could marry Alaric Faulkner by the end of the year, it would be wonderful.
She timidly looked at Alaric Faulkner and said, "Alaric, should we also get the marriage done soon?"
Faye Sterling was relying on Mrs. Faulkner’s presence to speak up, hoping Mrs. Faulkner could help her, it’d be best if Mrs. Faulkner ordered Alaric Faulkner to marry her immediately, that would be perfect.
At her words, Alaric Faulkner’s eyes flashed with a cold gleam.
Faye Sterling had spoken her mind openly and wasn’t afraid anymore, she continued, "I don’t have an official status, Caleb... he... also gets talked about.
If he gets pointed at and cursed like my sister’s illegitimate child, it really would be too pitiful."
Caleb Faulkner irritably rolled his eyes at her.
What does this woman mean? She says Estelle Sterling is an illegitimate child, she’s really abhorrent.
Alaric Faulkner looked at her coldly, "Do your part, don’t think about things you shouldn’t."
Faye Sterling was startled, her eyes full of hurt, she’s Caleb Faulkner’s mother, what is considered things she shouldn’t think about?
Isn’t marrying Alaric Faulkner the proper course of action? But seeing Alaric Faulkner’s displeased expression, she didn’t dare say more.
Mrs. Faulkner pursed her lips, she was already dissatisfied with women like Faye Sterling who use tactics to climb into her son’s bed.
Faye Sterling still dared to dream of forcefully marrying her son and even labeled Caleb an illegitimate child, how could she be happy about that.
Her grandson is no illegitimate child.
The two Sterling sisters are both shameless, she supports Alaric Faulkner’s decision. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novｅlfire.net
If he could separate mother and child, she would help find him a prestigious heiress.
Unfortunately, Alaric Faulkner seemingly has no intention of that.
Faye Sterling failed to forcefully marry, clenching her fists, her eyes flashed with an unwilling expression.
She felt it must still be because of Eleanor Sterling.
She needs to think of a way to tarnish Eleanor further, otherwise Alaric Faulkner will always be thinking about her.
