“Hmm.” Benjamin Martin nodded.

With that, Mrs. Martin asked again, “Benjamin, how is that matter coming along?”

“What matter?” Benjamin asked.

Mrs. Martin said, “Of course, it’s about Alexander acknowledging his ancestry!”

Although Mrs. Martin was not well-educated, she knew that Alexander must be legally adopted under Claire’s name to inherit the property.

Hearing this, Kay Hutchinson also looked at Benjamin.

Even though she didn’t want her son to call another woman Mom, if she wanted Claire to give everything to her son without reservation, Kay had to let her son be adopted by Claire.

Benjamin smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m already working on it. I’ll try my best to convince Claire to adopt Alexander as soon as possible.”

Mrs. Martin became very unhappy, “What adopting? Alexander is already our bloodline! Why are you afraid of that chicken who can’t lay eggs? Just tell her clearly, and see if she really dares to divorce you!”

Divorcee women are second-hand goods, and Claire is even worse, a second-hand good that can’t lay eggs. After a divorce, no one would want such a woman, even if she threw herself at someone.

“Mom, you don’t understand,” Benjamin continued, “Claire and I signed a prenup, and now the company is under her name alone. If we divorce due to extramarital affairs, I won’t get a penny!”

Having been married to Claire only for her money all these years, Benjamin, of course, wouldn’t let her find out his true intentions.

“Why?” Mrs. Martin was furious upon hearing this, “Isn’t her money your money too? Without you, would she be where she is today?”

Claire herself was considered Benjamin’s property, let alone her money.

Benjamin looked at his mother, “Mom, just remember what I said.”

Mrs. Martin nodded, “I know, I know.”

Of course she would listen to her son!

Kay looked at Benjamin, “When is Claire planning to go through the adoption procedures?”

As the mistress, Kay was worried that Benjamin might have other women.

What if another woman caught him with her son first? Wouldn’t all her efforts and sacrifice be in vain?

Benjamin said, “Soon.”

Although Claire had been taking fertility-boosting medication, she would never suspect that he also took precautions every time they were intimate.

Thus, no matter how hard Claire tried, they would never have a child together.

Without a child, they would have to adopt.

Kay nodded.

Mrs. Martin sat back beside the crib, cooing and fussing over her beloved grandson.

After staying with Kay for a while, Benjamin prepared to leave for the company to pick up Claire.

Before leaving, he looked at his mother and sister, “Mom, Chloe, I’m heading back. You two stay the night here, and I’ll come pick you up for lunch at my place tomorrow.”

“We know. We know!” Mrs. Martin waved her hand.

Seeing Benjamin about to leave, Chloe pushed Mrs. Martin.

“Why are you pushing me!” Mrs. Martin looked at Chloe, annoyed.

Chloe gave Mrs. Martin a knowing wink.

Mrs. Martin suddenly remembered something and called Benjamin, “You come out, I have something to talk to you about.”

Benjamin nodded and followed Mrs. Martin outside.

Soon, the two of them were outside the door.

Curious, Benjamin asked, “Mom, what do you want to talk about?”

Mrs. Martin said, “I want to discuss Chloe’s future with you. She’s not getting any younger, and she should find someone to settle down with. That chicken who can’t lay eggs has connections with Capital City’s elite, right? Ask her to find a good match for Chloe! The family background shouldn’t be too good, just as long as he has a house, a car, and a company. Oh, and he must earn at least a million a year, or else he isn’t worthy of Chloe!”

Benjamin widened his eyes in disbelief, “Mom, aren’t your demands too high?”

A Capital City household registration.

Having a house, a car, a company, and an annual income of millions

What kind of woman couldn’t a man with these conditions find?

Mrs. Martin said somewhat speechlessly, “High? That chicken who can’t lay eggs could find someone as outstanding as you, so why can’t Chloe find someone good? Just remember to tell that chicken who can’t lay eggs! This matter must be settled properly, or I’ll lose face when I return to the village!”

In Mrs. Martin’s eyes, Claire marrying Benjamin was a real stroke of luck for her.

Benjamin had always been filial and sensible since childhood. He was always the top student in his class and eventually attended the village’s best university and pursued graduate studies.
