Chapter 1037

"You can't! Having children makes a person's life complete. Why don't you both want a child? I can't wait to have grandchildren! I object!" Camren immediately announced.

"Objection overruled." Ariel refused to back down. "If you want grandchildren, get the other daughter of yours to bear you some. She'll be more than happy to oblige."

"You and she are different. None of you can avoid this responsibility!" Camren said determinedly.

At that, Ariel muttered assertively, "It is entirely up to me whether or not to have children, so your words count for nothing."

"You—"

"That's enough. Just have your meal. The children will think for themselves and you don't need to be worried about them."

Camren wanted to say more but after Rebecca chastised him, all he could do was stare at them and sulk.

Seeing this, Alexia brought her bowl over to him to appease him. "Don't be upset, Grandpa Camren. Have some dumplings," she said while feeding him.

Camren cooperatively ate the dumplings and he beamed until wrinkles formed around his eyes. "Thank you, Lexi. You're so thoughtful. I'm not upset at all with you around me."

He then paused for a moment before continuing, "I like you more and more as I look at you. Lexi, do you want to be my granddaughter-in-law in the future?"

"No!"

Before Alexia could say anything, Alexander and Irvin both rejected Camren's suggestion at the same time.

Camren immediately turned around, only to see the father-son duo had vigilant and menacing expressions on their faces, much like a lion protecting its cubs.
