When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 234

Dorothea tried not to laugh, shaking her head. “Grandma, really, there’s no need to worry.”

Latham’s eyes sparkled with mischief. “Honestly, Grandma, it’s me who wants to wait on having kids. Our wedding is in two weeks, and then I’m taking Dorothea on a honeymoon. We want to travel, see the world while we’re still young, just spend some time together.”

He grinned, glancing at Dorothea. “Let’s think about having kids in, I don’t know, two years?”

Pauline pressed her lips together, clearly unimpressed. “Two years from now, you’ll be thirty-three.”

Latham went silent for a moment, caught off guard.

Pauline sighed. “It’s easy for Dorothea, she’s only twenty-five. I’m just looking out for you, and your father is starting to get impatient.”

Linda nearly choked on her water, coughing as she tried to stifle a laugh. All the maids, along with Dorothea and Pauline, turned to stare at Latham. The look they gave him was almost like they were questioning if he was… lacking in some department.

Dorothea quickly dropped her gaze, refusing to meet Latham’s pleading eyes. She wasn’t about to step in and rescue him from this one. Even though he was trying to shield her, she decided to stay quiet and let him handle it.

Latham just shrugged, flashing a lazy smile. “Grandma, you really don’t have to worry. In two years, we’ll give you twins.”

Pauline chose not to push any further. She simply nodded, letting it go. Deep down, all she wanted was to live long enough to see her great-grandchildren. It was just the wish of someone getting on in years.

In the car, just as Dorothea was buckling her seatbelt, Latham leaned over and gently bit her lower lip.

“Ow, that hurt!” she yelped.

She tasted something metallic and quickly pulled down the visor mirror. “Latham, you broke the skin! I’m bleeding!”

He looked at her with mock offense. “You little traitor. You just sat there while Grandma teased me, pretending it had nothing to do with you.”
