That remark was a veiled jab–mocking Wyatt’s bad leg, implying he couldn’t have children, so of course Paul’s kid would be born first.

Yunice looked up, meeting the crowd’s smug, malicious smiles. They weren’t just mocking Wyatt’s condition; they were also mocking her personal life.

Some people simply couldn’t stand to see others doing well. They always found a way to flaunt their sense of superiority by picking at someone else’s weakest point.

Like ants biting an elephant’s leg–then running off, bragging like they’d conquered a mountain.

Yunice shot the relatives a mocking glance, then turned to Jackson with a smile. “Uncle, I’ll do my best to give you a grandchild.”

The moment the words left her mouth, the room plunged into an awkward silence.

The others looked at her with barely concealed contempt, while Jackson still hadn’t recovered from her switching “Grandpa

to “Uncle”

Wyatt sat in silence, face like stone.

To him, Yunice’s attempt to defuse the situation only made things worse–trying to cover it up only drew more attention.

Sure enough, someone couldn’t help themselves. “Ms. Saunders wants to beat Paul to the finish line, huh? But having a kid isn’t something you can do on your own.”

Another chimed in, “Come on, she’s not new to this–plenty experienced. Maybe she really can crank out a kid or two.”

They bounced off each other, treating Yunice’s bedroom life like a joke–jabbing at her history with Paul.

Elianna clenched her fists under the table, bitter that Yunice’s big mouth was dragging Wyatt into public embarrassment.

Wyatt’s eyes dropped, the look in them ice cold. His lips were tight, the corner of his mouth twitching with a murderous. edge.

He was about to snap–until a soft hand landed on the back of his under the table.

That feather–light pressure held back a storm.

Yunice turned slightly, eyes on the woman who’d just spoken, her tone smooth and mocking. “You flatter yourself. You’re the one with a son and a daughter–you’re the real expert. Must’ve racked up a lot of hands–on experience, right?”

The woman forced a smile. “Just a joke. Don’t tell me you’re mad?“.

“Oh, not at all,” Yunice said, still smiling. “Tm complimenting you. And it’s perfect timing–my dear nephew could use some of that experience.”

The woman recoiled. “Your nephew?”

“Yep.” Yunice said pleasantly. “Paul.”

Linda and Jensen both turned to look at Yunice. Even Jackson gave her a sharp glance.

Jensen already didn’t like her. “Why are you dragging Paul into this? We’re talking about you.”

Linda followed up awkwardly. “Ms. Saunders, this is the Powell family. It’s not like the Saunders family, where you talk about such crude topics at the dinner table…”

At that. Yunice gave a surprised blink, playing dumb. “Oh? I thought it was tradition here to talk about private matters at the table. Isn’t it?”

The relative who’d started all this quickly buried her face in her plate.

But Yunice wasn’t finished. “Besides, the Powell family’s lineage depends on us now. Paul can’t have kids anyway..

Jensen caught a hint of her muttering and slammed his palm on the table. “What did you just say?”

Yunice didn’t answer. She just gave him a look–figure it out yourself.

That pause made the atmosphere at the table suddenly feel scalding hot.

What did she mean? Paul can’t have children? How would she even know that? Could it be because of… that?

Everyone’s faces stiffened, lips tight, like they’d just heard juicy gossip but were pretending they hadn’t.

Jackson’s expression darkened with barely restrained anger. Jensen, furious and humiliated, snapped, “Wyatt! Can’t you control your woman?”

Wyatt looked up. His cold, mocking gaze landed on Jensen, but his words were meant for Yunice. “Why waste time talking to them?”
