Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 131

Gilbert paused, looking at the unhappy Ariana with a slight realization.

She instinctively hugged Lambert's arm and smiled, "Dad, we have to work tomorrow, it's better not to drink too much.”

After she said this, she discreetly pinched Lambert's waist, whispering, "My dad hasn't drank this much in a long time, don't lead him on.”

Lambert hooked his lips but said nothing.

Gilbert, slightly intoxicated, saw Ariana clinging to Lambert, and could only helplessly shake his head, "Ah, girls grow up and refuse to stay."

However, Ariana's parents saw the pair being intimate and felt greatly relieved.

After all, marrying off, the husband's care and affection is one of the most secure guarantees.

Georgia took the wine glass from Gilbert's hand, "Do you think you are still young? By this time next year, you will be a grandfather."

Grandchild...

Upon hearing this, Ariana stiffened, a bad feeling creeping up.

She couldn't help but say, "Mom, I am not that old... There's no need to hurry this, right?"

Hearing this, Georgia solemnly said, "This is the best age to have a baby and recover quickly. When I had you, I was too late and almost had a mishap."

In fact, Georgia also knew that Ariana had just started working and didn't have a strong grasp on corporate matters, so she definitely wouldn't consider having children yet.

However, Ariana would eventually go through childbirth, and since she was already married, it would be better to have a baby sooner rather than later. The recovery would be faster, and she wouldn't have to suffer as much.

Otherwise, raising a child can be even more exhausting when you're older and recovery is less effective.

Ariana was at a loss for words, but Lambert stepped in to defuse the tension. "Mother-in-law," he said, “Regarding the matter of having a child, we do have our plans. However, we also believe in letting things take their own course. There's still plenty of time for preparation, and I don’t want to put too much pressure on Ari."

His considerate remark immensely pleased Gilbert and Georgia, dispelling the previous unpleasant atmosphere. Regardless, Ariana felt her status plummet. Afraid she’d be pressured about having a child if she remained in the living room with Lambert, she decided to retreat to the kitchen to wash dishes after dinner.

However, hearing the continuous laughter from the living room, stirred by Lambert's charming conversation with her parents, caused her feelings of dissatisfaction to intensify.

If Lambert hadn’t visited their home, she wouldn’t have placed herself amongst the pressured-to-marry band of married women.

Witnessing Ariana's increasingly gloomy aura, a nervous Serene cautiously asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Ariana's face was cold as she instructed, “Go tell Lambert in a low voice that I’m suffering from stomach pain. Ask him to step in here for a minute.”

Serene was confused for a moment, "But..." Shouldn't Ariana lie down and rest if she was having stomach pain? Why should Lambert come in after having completed cleaning up?

But before she could voice her question, Ariana’s glare sent her scurrying out of the kitchen.

After Serene discreetly delivered Ariana's message, Lambert excused himself, "Ari needs me. I’ll be back in a moment."

Exchanging glances, Gilbert and Georgia seemed to guess what Ariana had in mind. However, all they did was give a knowing smile and say, "Go ahead."

As soon as Lambert entered the kitchen, Ariana closed the door and glowered at him, "What are you really here for today?"

She initially wanted to stay home for a relaxing evening, but everything had become more complicated. Her parents even began to pressure her and Lambert to have a child...

Ariana was filled with various kinds of frustrations inwardly. She and Lambert had a fake marriage, where on earth could they get a child?

Lambert arched his lips, "What do you think it is for?"

She squinted at him. He always responded to her with a question, clearly laying a trap for her.
