Amara wasn't exactly sheltered, but even she was stunned by those words.
Was this Edith for real? She was meeting her future daughter-in-law, but instead of trying to get to know her or learn about her life, she was lecturing her on her life choices and planning out her entire future. What was she trying to do?
Edith seemed to see nothing wrong with her own behavior. She asked again, "You're twenty-five this year, right? A few months younger than Keith?"
Amara nodded, and a bad feeling crept over her as she had a sudden thought.
Sure enough, Edith continued, "Twenty-five is a perfect age. You two will get married soon, so you'll be twenty-six next year. You can start preparing for a baby."
"You should have two children. When they grow up, one can take over the Sullivan Group, and the other can take over the WestWinter Group. We'll start training them in business management from a young age."
"You don't need to have more than two. Too many children will affect both your health and your career. Besides, if you have three, it will be difficult to divide the inheritance. For a couple in your situation, two is just right."
Amara was speechless.
If she was just a bit stunned before, now she was completely baffled.
What was Edith doing? She had already decided how many children they should have. Would she start telling Amara what clothes to wear next?
Amara was annoyed, but Keith was even angrier.
He had been unhappy since his mother's first remark but had held his tongue to see what her endgame was. Now, he couldn't take it anymore.
He slammed his hands on the table and stood up, glaring at Edith.
