Captive Hearts: The Tycoon's Ugly Bride novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Getting A Baby

Old Mrs. Herbart glanced at Flora.

"Just because you can't get it, doesn't mean others can't," she said.

The scent of Miller's biscuits was unique, and Flora knew it was genuine just by smelling it. She had talked too much tonight and Old Mrs. Herbart scolded her.

Flora didn't dare to stir up trouble anymore and stood there with a straight face.

After scolding Flora, Old Mrs. Herbart smiled kindly at Blanche and Louis.

"Thank you for your consideration, my children. My 80th birthday wish has already been decided. I wish the two of you a happy marriage and to get a chubby little boy as soon as possible."

The crowd was taken aback. Old Mrs. Herbart's previous birthday wishes were all about the prosperity of the Herbart family. But she was actually this casual this year, not only making her wish before lighting the candle but also only wishing Louis and Blanche a happy marriage and getting a chubby little boy as soon as possible

Blanche and Louis were even more confused. Hearing Old Mrs. Herbart wishing them a happy marriage and to get a chubby little boy as soon as possible, Blanche blushed with embarrassment.

Blanche thought to herself, "Louis and I get a chubby little boy? How could it even be possible? I have never thought about it before."

Louis was also stunned for a moment. When he saw Blanche's red ears, he felt strange and thought it was rare to see this woman get shy.

Mike, who was next to Old Mrs. Herbart, reminded them with a smile, "You two should be thrilled. Old Mrs. Herbart can only make a birthday wish, and she made it for you. You should say thank you."

Blanche gave Louis a look, hinting at him to thank his grandma. However, Louis turned his face away and ignored her.

Blanche clenched her hands and thought, "What a coward! When faced with a problem, he only knows how to hide like a turtle. Well, it seems that men can't be relied upon after all."

"Thank you, Grandma," Blanche said with a big smile.

Flora, who was next to them, felt upset and animosity toward Blanche when seeing this.

After all, if Old Mrs. Herbart treated Blanche well, Flora's daughter-in-law would enjoy less liking from Old Mrs. Herbart.

Hence, Flora couldn't help but provoke again.

She confirmed his claim with that.

Old Mrs. Herbart loved magnolia flowers because they held a special meaning for her. The first bouquet of flowers that her husband had given her back then was just magnolia flowers.

"Grandma, to be honest, although I gave you the brooch, it was also thanks to Blanche's efforts. She was the one who personally designed it," Eric added.

Blanche was surprised and wondered, "Isn't Eric afraid that I'll take his credit?"

Old Mrs. Herbart was momentarily stunned and then looked at Blanche with much more appreciation.

"Blanche, it seems that you have a pair of skilled hands. When we cut the cake later, please help me," Old Mrs. Herbart said, singling Blanche out again.

Clearly, she was confirming her approval of Blanche. In this big family, everyone knew that whoever Old Mrs. Herbart favored would be an important figure with special personal cultivation and improvement.

Old Mrs. Herbart waved her hand. "Alright. You all can go socialize now. I'll go inside and have some tea. Call me when it's time to cut the cake."
