Chapter 834 How Can a Woman Not Have Children?

After Gladys was satisfied with the food arrangement, she came over with a kind smile to have a quick chat with Narissa. “Just wait a little longer, Narissa. There is some traffic on the road, but Jayden’s father will be home soon. I’m sorry for the slight delay.”

“It’s fine, Mrs. Quinn. I’m not hungry yet,” Narissa answered cautiously.

“That’s good. Here, have some fruits!” Gladys enthusiastically placed the fruit platter before her.

Narissa was flattered, and despite being shy, she still took a slice of watermelon.

Right then, sounds of footsteps echoed from the door, and Jayden’s father, Harold, who hadn’t shown himself until now, finally appeared. He was holding a briefcase in one hand, and his suit jacket was hanging over his other arm. In a suit, leather shoes, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses over the bridge of his nose, he looked completely like a veteran cadre that Jayden had described him to be.

“You’re finally home. We’re all waiting for you!”

While Gladys rushed over to help him with his things, Jayden and Narissa also rose to their feet and greeted him politely.

“Dad.”

“Hello, Mr. Quinn.”

Harold had a rather stern face, but he didn’t say much. Instead, he merely calmly swept his eyes over them and nodded at the two youngsters in acknowledgment. “Let’s eat.”

After that, they sat around the dinner table, where Gladys kept piling up food on Narissa’s plate. “Oh, have more food. Just look how skinny you are! You must have been hard at work! I spent many hours on this stew, and the flavor is amazing. Give it a try!” As soon as she was free, she stared at Narissa. “What a fine lady you are. My son will be so blessed in the future!”
