Chapter 337: Chapter 335: How Nice to Have Many Kids【5 Updates】
Then, she deliberately raised her voice and said, "What? You’re not going after the third wife’s spot? How can that be? You can’t stop halfway! If you want, I can help you arrange a meeting with the third wife, and you can take the opportunity to force her hand, make the rice cooked. How about that?"
Madam Reid turned pale upon hearing the words "third wife," thinking to herself, This rascal clearly isn’t enthusiastic about blind dates, but still has a thing for that little witch Maya Spencer. It’s infuriating! But with Emily Baker here, she couldn’t erupt.
So she quickly put up a front and feigned ignorance, saying, "Noah, you shouldn’t joke around like this. Our Henry is too busy with work every day to have time to undermine anyone."
In her mind, she thought, Even if we want to undermine, we should be able to succeed at it! That Maya Spencer must have been the reincarnation of some demon; she looks down on everyone, even my son.
"Aunt, you’re mistaken here. Your son is ambitious, wanting to surpass the third and win over his woman." Noah was deliberately seeking trouble.
This time, Madam Reid panicked and quickly explained, "Noah, you can’t speak carelessly. Our Reid Clan has no such ambition, don’t accuse us unjustly."
"Miss Owen, the ’third’ you mention, is he the third master, Liam Spencer?" Emily Baker seized the chance to interject.
"Yes! Henry Reid indeed wants to take Liam Spencer’s wife!" Noah looked at Madam Reid’s expression and was loving every moment.
Once Emily Baker confirmed that the third was Liam Spencer, she immediately stood up from the sofa and said, "Aunt, Henry and I are not suitable for each other. I’m leaving now."
The girl said this and left, thinking, Henry Reid’s aloof manner was due to his interest in Liam Spencer’s wife. Madam Reid wanted her to play the fool and fill the vacancy—not happening.
Seeing Emily Baker leave, Madam Reid was enraged. She pointed at Noah, questioning, "Noah, you did this on purpose. Did the Reid Family offend you somehow? You’re ruining my son’s love life this way."
Not hurriedly, Noah stood up from the sofa looking at the furious Madam Reid, and playfully said, "Oh! What a coincidence, your son really did offend me. You want a grandchild? I think it’s unlikely!"
"You! You! You!" Madam Reid was so vexed by Noah she could barely get the words out. What was it with these women linked to the Spencer Family? All without shame—like Maya and now Noah too.
Henry Reid looked at the furious Madam Reid clutching her chest, helplessly supported her, and advised, "Mom, it’s none of your business. Just step aside for now."
"Step aside for what? I haven’t even seen a shadow of a grandchild, how can I relax? I don’t care, this year, I must hear news about my grandchild, or I won’t let it go." Noah’s previous comment about having a grandchild being unlikely weighed heavily on Madam Reid’s heart—making her urgently wish to hold her grandchild, feeling only then she could be reassured.
"Alright, alright! Don’t worry; this year you’ll definitely hear news about your grandchild." Henry Reid placated, only wanting Madam Reid to calm down and stop arranging blind dates for him.
Madam Reid, satisfied with the promise, finally let him off, rolled her eyes at Noah, and stormed off.
Watching Madam Reid’s pale face from anger, Noah couldn’t help but chuckle; she swayed her hips, ready to slip away as well.
Seeing her smug demeanor, Henry Reid swiftly stood up from the sofa, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her back sharply.
Due to Henry Reid’s excessive force and Noah being completely unprepared, she was suddenly pulled and ended up crashing directly into his arms, knocking Henry onto the sofa, and their lips accidentally collided.
The two stared into each other’s eyes, both wide-eyed, frozen in shock.
After the initial shock, Henry Reid immediately pushed Noah away and wiped his lips to show his distaste.
This scene infuriated Noah, who quickly raised a hand and slapped him across the face, cursing, "You scoundrel, acting all innocent when you’re the one who dragged me!"
Henry Reid countered, "Ha! Don’t get it wrong. You pounced on me first. Besides, no matter how insufferable I might be, I wouldn’t want to kiss you, ’this old woman’."
"Smack!" As soon as Henry Reid finished his insult, another hot slap landed on his face, punishing his rude mouth.
Being slapped once was one thing, but Noah took advantage and gave him two slaps, benefiting as the older woman while still maintaining her dignity. Henry felt slighted but couldn’t hit a woman.
The atmosphere suddenly froze. Noah glared at Henry’s smug face, gritting her teeth, and raised her hand again for another slap because that was her first kiss—guarded for 27 years—and it was gone just like that! Gone! How could she bear this?
Watching her raise her arm, Henry Reid snapped, thinking this ’old woman’ had gotten addicted to slapping him! He was the one at a loss here, wasn’t he?
Since she was so furious about being kissed, he would make her even angrier. So Henry quickly extended his left hand to grab Noah’s wrist and with his right hand, he tightly hugged her waist, intentionally disgusted her even more.
Henry’s kiss made Noah so angry her mind went blank; she almost fainted from how flushed she was.
Seeing her face turn red from rage and eyes filled with bloodshot anger, Henry finally let her go, coldly remarking, "I initially wanted to thank you for helping me out, but didn’t expect you to be after my beauty...purity."
He knew all along that Noah was disgusted by him, yet deliberately provoked her with his words.
Hearing Henry’s false accusation, Noah was speechless with fury, and she indeed felt utterly disgusted.
Growing up with Charlotte Owen, Noah could hardly tolerate men getting close to her; even a slight accidental touch from a man prompted her to change clothes immediately. Now, having been forcefully kissed by Henry, she felt like vomiting everything she ate yesterday.
So, eyes red and pointing at Henry Reid, she warned, "I’ll remember this score with you."
With that, she immediately covered her mouth, feeling like she was going to vomit, and rushed to the bathroom.
Henry Reid didn’t expect Noah would be this disgusted by him; he was embarrassed but dismissed it, rolling his eyes at her, saying, "Crazy, no wonder you’re not married."
At 12 noon, the restaurant announced the meal, and everyone began seating themselves, the mahjong tables were also cleared.
In the restaurant, the Spencers had their own table, as did other tables, with families seated together.
At the main table, Old Master Spencer sat at the head, and Old Master and second uncle sat beside him, with juniors also seated according to age order. Maya Spencer unfortunately sat directly opposite Lillian Morris, so every time she looked up, she saw Lillian and Sister Jane Spencer, so she decided simply to keep her head down.
Halfway through the meal, Old Master Spencer put down his chopsticks and began lecturing; the purpose of today’s banquet was for this. He said, "Look, the Spencer descendants are not few, in your generation there are four people, so why hasn’t anyone had a child yet? Look at those kids, they’re eating so well."
"Kinsley, how are things with Zoe? Is there any news?" Since Jane Spencer was already divorced, she was skipped over, directly moving on to Kinsley, especially since he recently got married.
"Grandpa, we currently don’t have any plans." Kinsley Spencer replied.
"And how about Liam and Maya?" Actually, this was Old Master Spencer’s main concern today.
