“There are no issues with either of them,” Viola Thompson said indifferently, “It’s just that one side is using contraception.”
One of them must be the betrayer in this marriage.
However, there’s no trace of it being exposed for now.
“Contraception?” Cynthia Wilkins frowned, “Could it be that Claire is trying to conceive? But that’s not possible! I think she genuinely wants a child now! As for Benjamin, it’s even more unlikely! Why wouldn’t he want a child?”
Cynthia Wilkins carefully thought about it and felt that both of them were unlikely to be conceiving.
Claire is a very carefree person, saying she’s DINK (Dual Income No Kids), not wanting DINK means having children.
“But it can’t really be Benjamin, right?” Cynthia Wilkins continued, “He must want children too. I can’t think of any reason why he wouldn’t want children.”
Viola Thompson then asked: “How is their relationship normally?”
“Their relationship is great, they’ve been married for thirteen years, and they’ve been affectionate all this time, not even having argued once!” Cynthia Wilkins replied.
Upon hearing this, Viola continued, “No matter how deep the feelings are, after marriage, there will be disagreements. Aunt Sherman, if you are sure that there’s no problem, you can ask her to keep an eye on her husband more closely. For example, check if he has a second WhatsApp account, second phone ”
Cynthia Wilkins still found it hard to believe.
It shouldn’t be that bad.
After all, Benjamin Martin and Claire were seen as a model couple by everyone.
Although she was skeptical, when she got home, Cynthia Wilkins called Claire and told her about it.
Upon hearing this, Claire laughed, “Sis, let me tell you, even if all the men in the world cheat, our Benjamin won’t!”
Ending her sentence, she continued, “Sis, can we trust this girl you found? Why do I feel like she’s here to sow discord!”
Having her own incompetence was one thing, but to falsely accuse Benjamin Martin was another.
How could she tolerate that?
Cynthia Wilkins replied, “Claire, don’t worry, Viola is absolutely reliable! I saw with my own eyes that a couple traveled all the way to Capital City to give her New Year’s greetings. That scene moved me to tears! The couple had a late child, and had experienced the loss of a child as well, everyone thought they couldn’t have another child, but they did in the end.”Finnd 𝒏ew chapters on n𝒐ve/lbi𝒏(.)com
“So Claire, you must believe in Viola!”
“Can someone who’s reliable throw false accusations at Benjamin?” Claire retorted.
She loved and believed in her husband, naturally, she wouldn’t allow anyone to speak ill of him.
Especially not in situations involving morals and character.
Can such things be suspected casually?
It was clear that Viola Thompson lacked ability, which was why she said all these things.
If Viola Thompson were really that powerful, Claire doubted there would have been any news by now!
Cynthia Wilkins continued, “She was just guessing, it’s not a bad thing for you to keep an eye on him.”
Not wanting to continue arguing, Claire replied, “Alright, sis, I got it.”
At the Phils family home.
Benjamin Martin brought his mother, Mrs. Martin, and Chloe Martin over.
Although Chloe Martin had been to the Phils family home before, she was still amazed by the huge villa that occupied several thousand square meters.
“My brother is amazing!”
Benjamin Martin reminded her, “Be polite when you see your sister-in-law later.”
Chloe Martin was somewhat unconvinced. Claire hadn’t even borne Benjamin a son, why should she be polite to her?
However, considering Claire was going to introduce someone to her, Chloe decided to put up with it, nodded and said, “Alright, alright, don’t worry, brother!”
At that moment, Claire greeted them with a smile, “Mom, Chloe, you guys are here.”
“Sister-in-law!” Chloe Martin greeted her with a smile.
Claire nodded.
Mrs. Martin looked at Claire, “I heard you are trying to conceive, how’s that going?”
Claire replied with a smile, “There’s no progress so far.”
Mrs. Martin glanced at Claire, called her a barren old hen in her heart, and then said, “You’re already this old, can you even conceive anymore? If you can’t, don’t force it! In my opinion, you should adopt a child from outside as soon as possible; raising a child from a young age is no different from having a biological one!”
Chloe Martin nodded, “My mom is right.”
Although Mrs. Martin’s words were unpleasant, Claire didn’t argue considering she was an elder, and just smiled, “If the conditions allow, we still want a child of our own!”
Benjamin Martin interjected, “Mom, you should stop interfering in our affairs! It’s me who wants a child of our own, it has nothing to do with Claire.”
Claire looked at Benjamin Martin with gratitude.
Benjamin Martin was truly an unbeatable good husband. Whenever there was an issue, he would take the initiative to shoulder it himself.
Mrs. Martin didn’t say anything more.
At this point, Claire was already considering that if she really couldn’t conceive, she would go adopt a child with Benjamin Martin.
After all, she had held him back all these years.
If it weren’t for her insistence to be DINK, she and Benjamin Martin would have had a child by now.
Claire changed the subject with a smile, “Mom, the meal is ready, let’s go upstairs and eat.”
“Let’s go, mom.” Benjamin Martin followed in Mrs. Martin’s footsteps and smiled, “Having a daughter-in-law like Claire in this lifetime is simply the blessing you got from your past lives! And you’re still not satisfied?”
Mrs. Martin kept mumbling behind them, but Claire endured it for Benjamin Martin’s sake.
Fortunately, she didn’t live with her mother-in-law.
Otherwise, they would definitely have big arguments every three days and small ones every two days.
At the dinner table, Mrs. Martin continued, “When you adopt a child, I only have one requirement.”
“What is it?” Claire asked.
Mrs. Martin replied, “It must be a boy! We can’t let the Martins’ lineage end!”
Hearing this, Claire slightly furrowed her brows. What era was this, and people still had such thoughts.
Benjamin Martin immediately interrupted his mother, “Mom, let’s eat!”
He then patted Claire to comfort her.
Smiling, Claire showed that she didn’t care.
..
Meanwhile.
Viola Thompson received a message from Edward Bankston again.
There was a new problem in the Fu Ming experiment and she needed to go to the laboratory.
Viola Thompson agreed.
Upon receiving the message, Edward Bankston immediately announced the news to the members of the research lab.
“Master J is coming to our lab!”
“Really?”
At the Thompson Clan’s dinner table.
Sylvia Thompson received Mr. Bankston’s message and looked at Mary Perryne, “Mom, I might come back later tonight.”
“What happened?” Mary Perryne asked.
Sylvia Thompson’s eyebrows and eyes were filled with a smile, “Master J is coming to our lab, so we’ll definitely work overtime tonight.”
She was the only female member of the KV research lab, busy with various high-end experiments and even dealing with big shots from various walks of life.
While Viola couldn’t even study well in her senior year of high school.
It has been two months since the start of the school year.
The College Entrance Examination was approaching, but she was inconsistent with her studies.
Hearing this, even Samuel Thompson, who was eating, asked, “Is it Jue?”
“Yes.” Sylvia Thompson nodded.
There was a sense of pride in her eyes.
And then she looked at Viola, whose face showed no change in expression. Perhaps, she didn’t even know who Jue was.
That’s what the gap was.
