The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1325

Patti hesitated, biting back her retort.

You James men are entirely too arrogant!

Seeing his wife's conflicted expression, Pearce looked confused. "What? Did I say something wrong?"

Patti sighed heavily. "No, you're handsome, so whatever you say is right!"

Pearce’s weathered face flushed a deep shade of red.

Good lord, we’ve been married for decades, why is she suddenly flirting like that?

Especially with their son sitting right there. It was embarrassing.

Dewitt couldn't help but burst out laughing.

His parents might just be ordinary people from a rural town, but the pure, enduring affection between them was undeniable.

It was the kind of genuine love Dewitt used to quietly hope for.

But now, he didn't even dare dream of it.

He had seen too much of the dark side of the world to believe that kind of sincerity was easy to find.

"Fine, your mother will back off your love life."

"But you have to promise us that you'll have this sorted out within three years."

"If you can't find a wife by then, you at least need to give us a grandchild."

Even though Pearce had been raised under Pandora's strict guidance, he was still the most traditional among his brothers.

He was also the most honest and grounded.

That was exactly why he was the one who stayed behind to look after the village.

Pandora was the Clan Leader, but Pearce was effectively the mayor.

Aside from Pandora, his word was law in the community.

Despite his traditional mindset, he always deferred to his aunt's wisdom.

Since Pandora hadn't given any strict orders regarding Dewitt's marriage, Pearce decided to handle it his own way.

This was his own son, after all; it wasn't like he was going to steer him off a cliff.

"Deal." Dewitt silently calculated that he could easily stall for another three years.

"Edison didn't get married until he was significantly older, and he still managed to have a kid. You guys should really bump that three-year deadline up to ten."

Dewitt flashed them a roguish, challenging grin.
