Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 198

Bella smiled and replied, "No problem. What kind of talent does Brandon need?"

Brandon didn't hold back and listed a whole bunch of requirements. Bella rolled her eyes internally.

He wanted her to help him find people?

The Mercer family was entering the game now, and they might not even get a sip of the soup.

They would be better off just sticking to the projects and orders from the Blake family, which would still earn them a good amount of money each year.

But then she remembered that she was now a shareholder in the Mercer family.

Bella maintained her smile and recommended a few suitable candidates to Brandon. These people were originally from the Blake Group, but their skills were average compared to others in the Blake Group.

They were often excluded from projects and given less important tasks. When Bella mentioned them, Sebastian naturally had no objections. Brandon was very grateful after hearing this.

Sabrina timed it perfectly, placing a piece of food in Martin's bowl. "This is how a family should be, helping each other. When everyone works towards the same goal, we can naturally develop better."

Martin was still lost in his sweet romance, so whatever Sabrina said made him happy. Brandon's ambition was a good thing. The company would eventually be in his hands, so Martin was happy to see him being proactive. He couldn't have been more pleased. "With Brandon at the company, I can worry less in the future. I'll have plenty of time to take care of the kids."

Martin made no secret of his desire to have another child with Sabrina, saying it out loud.

Sabrina, however, seeing Brandon's reaction, knew he was talking about their own child.

At her age, hearing this, her face showed a hint of discomfort. Brandon didn't understand. "No rush. None of us are likely to get married and have kids so soon."

"You think I'm going to help raise my grandchildren? I don't have the energy for that. I'm talking about my child with your aunt, a child in my old age."

As soon as he said this, even Bella's face turned sour. She immediately looked at her mother. Sabrina gave her a look, suppressing the doubt on her face. After dinner, Bella didn't even bother to see Sebastian off. Instead, she went straight upstairs to talk to Sabrina alone.

"Mom, are you two serious? You're both so old, and you still want to have a child? Mom, didn't you say you were approaching menopause a couple of years ago?"

"Well, I didn't want menopause to come so early, so I've been seeing a doctor and taking medicine to regulate my body. That's why it's been delayed. Martin thinks that since I can still get pregnant at my age, we should have a child."

Bella was truly shocked. "Mom, you two are... Mom, you don't actually agree with him, do you?

You're not really going to risk your life to have a child for him at this age, are you?

Do you know how dangerous it is for a woman of your age, a super high-risk pregnancy, to give birth?
