414 Chapter 414: His Mom’s Strange Reaction (1/2)

Old Mr. Parker loved playing chess, and old Mrs. Parker took out the checkerboard and pieces at once.

”After you, father.” Ethan sat upright.

”Great!” Old Mr. Parker moved a piece ahead.

Old Mrs. Parker, instead, set aside, chatting with her son. ”When you're not home, your father often plays chess alone. I don't understand why it's so fun for him.”

”My old brother has never come back home?” Ethan asked.

”Don't mention that, jerk!” Old Mr. Parker seemed displeased.

Old Mrs. Parker sighed and said in a low voice, ”Ever since Aiden was put in jail, he has never contacted us. Probably he hates us.”

”He deserves it!” old Mr. Parker snorted. ”He made his own son a scapegoat for what he has done. I already turned a blind eye on her inappropriate behaviors in the company, but I couldn't tolerate that he's illegally transferred the assets of the company!”

Ethan remained calm. ”Where is Nicole? I think it isn't easy for her to accept so many shocking things which have happened to our family.”

Old Mrs. Parker replied in a hurry, ”She was annoyed that you married Kylie and has transferred to a school abroad. It's not a bad thing, because she hasn't heard of the shocking news yet.”

”Nobody can change the fact that Kylie is my daughter-in-law now!” old Mr. Parker said.

”Ha-ha, I think you just want to be a grandfather.” Old Mrs. Parker smiled.

”Don't you want to be a grandmother?” Old Mr. Parker held Mrs. Parker's hand and said with a smile, ”Don't compete against me to hug the baby!”

There was a faint smile on Ethan's lips. ”You don't need to compete. Kylie is carrying twins, and each of you can hug a baby then.”

Knowing that old Mrs. Parker's face changed, she gripped her sleeves.

Ethan noticed his mother's unusual reaction but didn't say a word.

It's good news, but why does mother look so in pain?

Before long, old Mr. Parker also noticed the absent look on old Mrs. Parker's face. He stood up and said, ”Alright, I think it's enough for today, and your mother needs a rest now.”

Ethan stood up as well. ”Sure, have a good rest, mother.” He turned around, walking away. When he closed the door, he saw old Mrs. Parker looking at him by accident. It seemed she had something to tell him.

However, probably because of old Mr. Parker's presence, she just moved her lips, then soon turned to look in another direction.

The moment Ethan was back, Kylie asked him, ”What did mother say?”

”Nothing.” Ethan hugged her, sitting by the bedside. ”I think the mother has something that she doesn't want my father to know. I'm sure my mother knows your mother, given her unusual behaviors and reactions.”

Old Mr. Parker knew Ethan wasn't his biological son, but he didn't know who Ethan's biological father was either.

Old Mrs. Parker had kept it a secret for so many years. She must be unwilling to let Ethan find out the truth.

What was Emily's effect on this event?

Ethan said a lot to Kylie, but Kylie remained silent. He pinched her jaw. ”What are you thinking?”

Kylie smiled. ”I'm not in a hurry to know the answer. You don't need to bother your mother too often.”
