Wanted: Billionaire's Wife And Their Genius Twin Babies novel Chapter 124

Edward's footfalls stopped irritably. "Spill."

Rue smiled. "Actually, my mom and dad have prepared food at their place, so they want me to bring you and our son over for dinner."

"No."

Without thinking, Edward rejected Rue.

Rue followed them upstairs, begging, "But Edward, if you never come to my parents' place, I would be gossiped about at home. If only you could hear the things my extended family has said about me."

She looked at Josh. "Besides, my parents like their grandson, but they’ve never seen him more than a few occasions since his birth."

Edward's protection of Josh was too flawless.

Even as Rue begged with tears streaming down her face, Edward was indifferent.

"We will not go."

Rue lowered her chin and held onto the handrail in defeat and sadness.

"Edward, what did I do wrong? It's been five years since you married me, but never once have you touched me, and all the times I needed you, not once have you given me help or connection. And now, I just wanted to have a nice dinner with you at home, it's a simple request, but why do you still reject me?"

Edward did not want to watch Rue's performance, so he turned around and continued up the staircase.

However, Josh tugged at his sleeve and showed a hint of relent. "Father, let's accompany mother just once."

Hearing Josh, Edward quietened. "Do you really want to go?"

Josh looked at a tearful Rue and nodded. "Let's go early so we can come back early."

Just like that, Edward carried Josh downstairs without any extra words. "Prepare the car."

The old butler nodded and walked out. "Yes, Master Edward."

Rue could not fathom what had happened, so she shook her head and followed Edward.

In the stretch limousine, Edward kept chatting with Josh while ignoring Rue.

Rue's presence was as intangible as air, as though she was not there.

"Edward, I want to talk to you about something." She clenched her jaw and spoke up.

Edward squinted. "What?"

Rue lowered her gaze. "I don't want to be holed up at home, so I’ve looked for a job. I'll be working in the Comer Corps as an assistant."

Edward answered without further response. "Mm."

Rue was a little taken aback. This was the first time she was relieved that Edward did not care.

Fortunately, Edward's indifference dictated his lack of questioning.

"I want to gather experience working in another company, so when I enter Bluemel Inc. to help you with your company, you won't have to overexert yourself."

Rue clasped her hands together and smiled. This was her intention.

If she could get into Bluemel Inc. and nab herself a decently high-level job, that would be the best case!

Besides, in the end, the Bennet Group would be hers to inherit!

She would be the biggest winner in the end!

However, Edward's next words shattered her fantasy entirely. "I will never let you into Bluemel Inc. Moreover, I will never work with the Bennet Group. Stop trying to be coy with me."

Just by remembering that he was Rachel's child was enough to induce them with loathing.

However, they still had to show him that they liked him.

"Oh Josh, come, have an apple! Just treat yourself at home!"

Josh nodded and as he was about to take the apple, Edward snapped his fingers.

On cue, the old butler took the apple on Mrs. Bennet's hand and placed it on the side before he took out a few slices of ready-cut apple slices, placing them into Josh's hands.

Ms. Bennet was red with embarrassment.

At that point, the atmosphere was so cold, so Mr. Bennet stood up. "Alright, alright, let's eat. Let's go to the dinner table!"

At the table, the servants served Mr. Bennet and Edward a glass of red wine each.

Mr. Bennet raised his glass and smiled. "This is our family's first full gathering, right? Let's raise a glass to this!"

Rue and Mrs. Bennet raised their glasses to clink at Mr. Bennet's glass.

Yet Edward made no such action.

Even Josh's orange juice was switched out by the old butler.

The ambiance dropped down once more, so Mr. Bennet looked at Edward. "What is it, are the food not to your taste?"

The old butler shook his head. "No, Mr. Bennet, Master Edward just never drinks low-quality red wine."

The old butler's words turned Mr. Bennet red. 'The million-pound red wine is low-quality?! Edward is just trying to shame us, isn't he?!'
