Chapter 723: Chapter 723: I Have Triplets (13)
“Triplets, nice, Steve, never thought you had that kind of ability.” Wenny said, sweeping her gaze all around Steve for several circles.
Steve didn’t avoid Wenny’s gaze at all and even straightened his back, facing everyone’s scrutiny calmly, and said humbly yet boastfully, “I read it in a report before that when it cos to having children, n play a significant role. Can’t help it, it’s a natural talent.”
“Tsk…” Wenny rolled her eyes at Steve and bluntly exposed his boasting, “Steve, it’s the woman who’s truly amazing in bearing triplets. It shows she has strong ovulation. In short, it’s still their mom who’s incredible.”
Steve, whose boasting was exposed, didn’t look embarrassed at all. He just casually asked, “Really?”
Then he nodded and said matter-of-factly, “That’s true, how could my woman not be incredible?”
Imdiately, he wore a look of praise as if he was complinting himself, saying, “Thank you for the comndation. The triplets are two boys and a girl. The boys are the older brothers, and the little princess is the sister. They say it’s the best combination.”
“Enough, Steve, don’t boast here. Just tell us all who the mother of the children is?” Wenny smiled and steered the conversation back on track.
Steve looked at his father and then at his mother before swallowing and saying, “The mother of the children is the girl-next-door, whom my mom has been particularly envious of recently.”
In the entire conference room, those who were drinking tea imdiately sprayed it out of their mouths. Those preparing to drink had their hands tremble, spilling more than half of the tea from the cup. Even those who hadn’t moved the teacups had expressions that froze like they had been hit in the head with a club, including even the highly curious Wenny, whose smile at the corner of her lips also beca a frozen image.
The conference room was quiet for a long ti, and no one spoke.
In the end, it was still the sister-in-law who wanted to see Steve embarrassed a few tis already. With a tone of jealousy, she said indifferently, “Ah, so it’s Ruby Gregory. But as everyone knows, the child in Ruby’s womb belongs to soone else. Steve, you didn’t get confused, did you? Taking in soone else’s used goods and bringing another man’s child ho to raise as the Burton progeny?”
The faces of Steve’s father and Madam Burton changed instantly, looking sowhat uncomfortable.
After a while, Madam Burton hesitated for a mont and interjected, “Steve, Mom knows you love Ruby, but you can’t love her so much that you want to raise even soone else’s child.”
Steve had pondered over his response as early as on his drive back to the Burtons’ Mansion. He returned ho and gradually led the conversation up to this crucial mont.
Steve lowered his eyelids slightly and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, “First of all, the reason why I gathered you all here late at night is to make a statent in front of our whole family. I won’t ntion whether Ruby’s triplets are mine or not, but as long as Ruby wants to marry , even if the triplets aren’t mine, I’ll still marry her.”
“Bastard!” As soon as Steve finished speaking, his father threw his tea at Steve furiously.
