...

Margaret smiled with guilty.

She asked, "Really? Is it so obvious?"

Riya wanted to ask her "could you be more obvious".

Riya rolled her eyes and sneered.

She snapped, "If that’s the case, Mr. Jorgansen had one more lover in his previous life. He was not loyal to you."

Otherwise, how could you have a daughter?

It was a provocation.

How could Margaret endure it?

Of course, she couldn’t!

"How can you say that? It’s you who is fickle in love. You had so many lovers in your previous life. Mr. Key was so unlucky to marry you."

They were so angry with each other.

Hilla and Halle sighed helplessly and tried to calm them down.

However, four men were playing poker.

They looked calm and relaxed.

They pretended to not see it.

If they were involved, they would get injured.

It was better for women to solve their own problems.

"You’re unlucky. Julian has suffered much since he married you. He is so poor."

"You’re talking nonsense."

"I don’t!"

"Let me..."

"Calm down!"

Hilla was a little dizzy. Hilla and Halle tried to stop them from arguing.

Hilla said to Riya, "Stop arguing. You’re pregnant. Be careful not to let your baby get hurt."

Then she turned to look at Margaret.

"You should also calm down. Your son is just one month old. Do you want to scare him?"

Hilla’s words worked.

Julian also said, "Be happy. Anger only makes people look ugly."

Then he said, "Jack."

Stefan answered, "Joker!"

Then he said, "I only have one lover."

Riya felt happy to hear his words.

She was delighted that Stefan only loved her.

Hilla and Halle sighed helplessly.

Riya and Margaret missed each other when they hadn’t met. But they began to quarrel once they met.

It was difficult to judge whether they were friends or enemies.

After they calmed down, Hilla looked at Riya and said, "It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl. Health is the most important. If you have many sons, you will be the queen at home."

Riya was amazed!

She suddenly imagined the scene of being loved by her sons and husband.

She would be a queen at home!

Even in the Marley family, she was also treated like a princess.

Riya was joyful and rubbed his belly with a smile, "It doesn’t matter if it is a boy. He can marry your daughter."

Hearing this, Hilla felt weird and said in a low voice, "My daughter is older. It is not suitable."

"She is only one or two years older. It doesn’t matter. Besides, Abner is at the same age as your daughters."

Hilla was stunned that Riya even had such a thought.

Hilla said awkwardly, "Everything is uncertain. It depends on them when they grow up. We can’t make decisions for them."

Riya was unhappy to hear it. "You just don’t want my son to marry your daughter."

Halle lowered her head and drank the black tea without speaking.

Emily was the oldest among these children.

Margaret snorted and said coldly, "Don’t think about it. It’s hard to find a daughter-in-law now."

Riya looked at Margaret. She opened her mouth but said nothing.

Unexpectedly, she didn’t argue with Margaret. Riya vowed in her heart that she must have a daughter.

In the courtyard.

It seemed like a kindergarten.

More than a dozen children were running around the courtyard.

Emily and Judy stayed in the rose room and read books quietly. Boys were playing mud or climbing trees. Orlenna was so angry with these boys.

It was summer and it was hot outside.

The servants splashed water on the grass, but it still didn’t cool down the high temperature.

It was much cooler in the rose room because of the air-conditioning.

Emily stopped reading the book and looked at the scenery outside through the window with her chin in her hands.

Her gaze fell on a low wall in the corner.

"Emily, do you want to eat peaches?"

From the wall next door, a large branch of a peach tree stretched out. It had many peaches.

They looked yummy and delicious.

Judy had seen it long ago. But Orlenna was outside and said that girls couldn’t climb trees. So she had to stay in the room all the time.

But she often looked outside.

Seeing that Orlenna went inside, Judy approached Emily carefully and asked in a low voice.

It would be better if Emily accompanied her to pick peaches.

Emily was a little surprised.

She was the oldest among these children and was going to be in fourth grade. She was not so desirable for peaches.

She shook her head and smiled gently. "It is not our tree. And we also have peaches. If you want to eat them, I can get some for you."

They were rich enough to buy all kinds of fruits.

Judy grabbed her arms and stood up. She rolled up her sleeves and stared at the peaches on the low wall.

"I just want to pick peaches by myself. Wait for me. I’ll pick one for you."

"Stealing?"

Emily was shocked and looked around.

If it was known by their parents, they would definitely be scolded.

She wanted to stop her. But before she spoke out, Judy had run out.

Emily quickly followed her.

A few boys were squatting on the low wall.

Andrew and Henry had climbed up the tree. Abner and Herman were standing under the tree.

Aber said in a low voice, "Will we be discovered? If our parent knows, we will be beaten."

Henry raised his head, patted his chest and said confidently, "Trust me! It won’t be discovered."

Abner frowned and thought, "I don’t believe you."

...

Although the tree was not tall, it was difficult for seven-year-old children to climb up.

Abner whispered, "Let’s leave now. If we are discovered, my mom will spank me."

Herman was beside him. Abner was afraid that he would be punished more severely.

Andrew frowned and said coldly, "Why are you so timid?"

Abner replied, "I’m younger than you."

Riya was a tigress and no one dared to anger her.

They were often punished by Riya if they made mistakes.

Aber didn’t want to be punished again.

Henry said, "Andrew, ignore him. He is so timid."

He had climbed up the treetops. He plucked a few peaches and threw them on the ground.

"Catch the peaches."

Seeing that Abner didn’t move and the peach fell to the ground, Henry was a little angry.

Henry thought, "Abner was so useless!"

Abner said in a low voice, "It’s wrong to steal things."

Henry was so angry that he wanted to jump down and hit him.

Andrew said to Henry, "Ignore him. Let’s pick peaches."

Then they continued to climb the tree. Sooner, Emily and Judy came over.

Looking at the two people on the tree, Judy waved her hand happily, "Andrew and Henry, I’ll pick up peaches for you."

Judy smiled happily at them.

Andrew and Henry were delighted with it.

Emily ran over and said to Missy, "Let’s go. Orlenna will get angry if she discovers."

"Emily, don’t be afraid. If she comes, tell her that I ask you to do so. She loves me and won’t blame you."

Emily thought, "That’s true. But I’m in fourth grade now. It’s wrong to steal things."

Moreover, Halle was very strict with her and didn’t like her to make mistakes.

Stealing things were prohibited.

Emily worried that they would be discovered.

But it seemed to be very irresponsible to go away.

Emily pursed her lips and said, "I’ll help you."

Emily thought that they just picked a few peaches.

Peaches were thrown down one after another. Emily and Judy were busy picking up them.

Abner had been frowning. He said, "It’s wrong to steal things. If you are discovered, you will be beaten."

Judy rushed up to him.

She glared at Judy and said angrily, "Shorty, if you tell this to our parents, I will beat you to tears."

Although they were of the same age, Judy was taller than Abner.

Abner shrank back in fear.

Herman, who was behind him, also shrank into his arms. Herman hugged Abner and said, "Abner, she is a tigress! She looks so fierce."

She was even fiercer than his mother!

"Don’t be afraid. I will protect you."

Abner hugged Herman tightly and turned to glare at Judy aggressively. "It is shameless of you to bully a child."

Judy replied, "I just want to bully you. Shorty, what can you do to me?" She rushed forward and pushed Abner in his chest.

However, she didn’t expect that Abner would be so thin and weak.

He fell to the ground.

Herman fell to the ground, too.

They were suddenly dumbfounded.

"You hit me."

Abner was stunned and sat on the ground. And Herman was about to cry.

Missy pulled up her sleeves and said rudely, "You are a coward. You can also hit me if you dare."

"You’re toast. Wait here."

Abner got up from the ground angrily.

Judy rolled her eyes. There was a pink bow tied to her pigtail.

She looked at Abner without fear.

Judy thought, "You are even shorter than me."

Judy said, "Do you want to tell your parents? You’re useless."

Abner pointed at her and said indignantly, "You... I don’t want to argue with you." Abner was so angry that his face had turned red.

Judy suddenly took a step forward and said proudly, "If you reach out again, I will break your fingers."

She was about to move forward.

Abner and Herman were so scared that they shouted. Then they ran away with tears.

Abner shouted, "I’m a gentleman. I just don’t want to hit you."

He shouted so loudly. It sounded imposing.

However, he looked cowardly to run with tears.

Judy felt proud of it and said disdainfully, "They are so useless. Cowards."

"You shouldn’t hit Abner. He is so little."

Emily walked forward and looked at Abner, who was crying and running away. She said with worry, "Will he tell this to his parents?"

Then she looked at the two on the tree and shouted, "Come down quickly. Our parents are coming soon. Hilla will punish you."

As expected, Andrew and Henry scrambled off the tree quickly.

They picked up the peaches on the ground and said with laughter, "You clean up here."

Then they ran away quickly.

"They all run away. We will definitely be scolded."

Emily was a little helpless but still picked up the peaches on the ground.

Judy looked at Emily with fear and whispered, "Will Hilla punish them?"

Emily sighed and said, "If she won’t, why do Andrew and Henry run away?"

Obviously, they had been punished many times.

Judy whispered, "We didn’t steal the peaches."

"But you hit Abner."

Although Emily didn’t want to scare her, it was wrong to steal things and hit people.

"Hilla once won the martial arts championship. And your father is also very powerful. We will also be scolded if Orlenna knows it."

Missy frowned and thought, "Is my father powerful? He is a coward." But Orlenna might scold her.

Missy hid behind Emily and whispered, "Emily, if I am beaten, you must stop it."

"Don’t be afraid. If they ask, just say that I did it."

Emily comforted Judy with a smile. Emily would protect Judy the latter was so young.

...

In the Anderson’s, the kid’s cry came from time to time.

Orlenna held her forehead impatiently and hid in the room. Linda who had been with Orlenna for more than ten years smiled, "Don’t you love the hustle and bustle?"

However, with that, Orlenna felt her head hurt more.

Orlenna could not stand the shouting of these children, no matter how noisy it was.

"Well, don’t you think I am cheap? When I didn’t have a child, I felt that this house was so big that it was horrifying. There’s no point in living. But when I finally have my son, daughter-in-law, my daughter’s son, and my grandson, I..."

"They give me a headache. No. Bring me the balm. I want to wake up."

They were not angels. They were naughty guys.

They were buzzing in Orlenna’s ear, and one was crying soon.

They all didn’t listen.

Older brothers and sisters were disobedient, and younger brothers and sisters were willing to be beaten. Even if beaten, they would stay with their older brothers and sisters.

"Look at how cute these young masters and young ladies are. They are all very lively. I think you are insatiable."

Linda teased Orlenna. Orlenna just sighed and smiled. She couldn’t help but say.

"It’s annoying, but I can’t stand it without them. So, I think I am cheap. Why not play cards with those ladies? Why do I have to see these little demons?"

With these words, Orlenna lay down on the bed.

Linda skillfully wiped the balm on her fingertip and began to massage her.

Knowing that Orlenna looked disgusted but happy, Linda said, "When they grow up and no one likes to stay at home, I’m afraid it’s worse for you."

Orlenna sighed, "Yes. But these brats are too noisy." There were five children in the family who could walk.

Fortunately, Margaret’s child could only be held now, or Orlenna would go crazy today.

"Well, are the snacks ready in the kitchen? Those little girls like egg yolk pastries the most. Don’t burn them."

Orlenna looked annoying, but she couldn’t help but worry.

Linda said, "Don’t worry, I’ll have someone keep an eye on them. Once they’re ready, I’ll send them to the ladies. Would you like to go downstairs and play with

them?"

Orlenna quickly waved her hand, "Forget it. There are so many servants anyway. Let them all have a good time. I don’t want to mess with them."

Moreover, Orlenna was not going to play with them.

Linda smiled and nodded, not saying anything more.

Downstairs.

A few men played cards calmly and casually discussed business.

They were supercilious about the women and children behind them.

Outside came the sound of crying. Abner walked in with his younger brother, Herman.

As they entered the room, Herman kept crying loudly.

"What’s the matter?"

Halle stood up first. Seeing Herman crying like this, Halle quickly walked over.

Didn’t they go out just now to have fun? How come they ran in in the twinkling of an eye.

"Mom, there’s a tigress."

Herman was just two years old, and he didn’t speak very clearly. But when Herman saw Riya, he rushed into Riya’s arms.

Herman was still a baby and could not leave Riya.

Halle could only hug Abner. Fortunately, Abner did not cry.

However, Abner was in tears and pouted angrily. It seemed he had been wronged.

With that, Hilla subconsciously felt that it must be her nasty guys who bullied the small by being big.

Hilla said angrily, "Is it those two nasty guys, Andrew and Henry?"

As Hilla spoke, she was about to rush out, Halle quickly pulled her, whispering, "They haven’t made it clear yet. Let them speak first."

Even though Andrew and Henry were a bit naughty, they still followed the rules.

Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t hit anyone.

"Did Emily bully you?"

Halle thought of the tigress they had just said. She thought it was a girl.

Although Halle didn’t believe that Emily would bully others, it was hard to say.

Emily was the oldest among them. After all, she was still a child. Among children,

she couldn’t be too sensible and modest.

Because the little ones at this age were already filled with many unknowns.

Abner pouted and looked at Margaret, then said angrily.

"It’s all because of Judy Jorgansen, that little tigress. She beat us up and pushed me and Herman down."

Margaret did not expect that her daughter had bullied them. Margaret immediately stood up from the sofa. Before she could speak, Riya said.

"Why are you so cowardly? You can’t even beat your wife. How can I expect you to marry Missy? Didn’t I tell you that if a girl hits you, you have to endure it? You can’t fight back, and you can’t cry."

Abner looked at Riya in front of him. He tried to hold back his tears. But he could not hold it back and started crying.

While crying, Abner shouted, "That tigress was so fierce!"

Riya was stunned and turned to look at Margaret.

Well. Margaret became fierce.

How dare Abner call Judy tigress? He was dead meat.

Before the women could speak, Abner, who had been standing on the ground crying, was lifted into the air.

Stefan glanced at everyone, picked up Abner with one hand, and pressed down Riya with the other, who was about to go berserk. He said lightly, "Sorry, let me deal with my family first."

With that, Stefan picked up Abner and left.

Riya hugged Herman and turned to look at Margaret with a smile. "Children say what they like. Don’t be angry. Stefan will teach him a lesson!"

Margaret rolled her eyes. Didn’t Margaret care if Riya said something nice? With that, Hilla could only pull Margaret, "Don’t take the child’s words seriously." "If my daughter is a tigress, so am I?"

Hilla couldn’t help but laugh, "Doesn’t this fully reflect your family status? OK, it’s just a kid’s fight. We can’t take it too seriously."

Halle also said, "Children only speak nonsense after listening to adults. They don’t mean it."

When Margaret heard this, she turned to look at Riya and suddenly chuckled.

"Halle, I think you are right. Someone must have a female position at home, so her son can’t even beat a girl and cry."

Riya pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "Your daughter will know how good

my son is in the future!"
