Raising My Wife
Chapter 56 The Third Father And Son

"Molly! Come here! " Cleve called Molly loudly. He was so annoyed that Molly almost ignored him when he was at home. When Shirley was at home, Molly just wandered around with her. When Shirley left, Molly went back to his kennel and couldn't be amused with food.

"Why are you shouting?" Shirley doted on Molly very much. Hearing Cleve speaking in such a loud voice, she was a little dissatisfied.

Criticized by Shirley, Cleve was not convinced and grumbled, "it's just a dog! Why do you protect it so much! I'm your son! What's the matter?"

"Brat, I told you many times. Be nice to Molly. No wonder Molly didn't play with you at ordinary times!" "Lily, Just play with Molly," Shirley said, glaring at Cleve. Then she went to the kitchen. As the whole family were celebrating New Year's Eve together, she wanted to show her cooking skill.

"Mom, let me help you." Rachel said. When she saw Shirley walking towards the kitchen, she also offered to help Shirley.

After they left, there were only three people left in the living room. They were Jonathan, James, Cleve, Lillias and Molly. Except Molly and Lily, the other three persons didn't make any movement.

All of a sudden, Molly walked away as if it remembered something. Then it waved its big tail and trotted to a shelf. Lily looked in the direction of Molly and found that the shelves were full of dog toys and snacks. It turned out to be Molly's secret base.

Standing in front of the shelf, Molly suddenly reached a ball on the top of the shelf. It bit the ball with its mouth and ran happily to Lily. It placed the ball on Lily's leg and then lay on the ground, trying to shake its tail and looking up at Lily.

Lily had thought that Molly wanted to play basketball with her, but she didn't dare to do that in other person's house. She discreetly stole a glance at James and wanted to know his opinion. With a smile in his eyes, James looked at Molly and said, "play with her."

Lily thought that he had agreed with her to play with Molly, and she was thrilled inside. But in fact, James had agreed with Molly's requirement. In his eyes, Lily was always good.

As she was about to walk to the other side of the corridor and play with Molly, she heard James saying, "take off your coat. You'll get sweaty later."

After that, James stood up and was about to take off Lily's coat. He took the coat and placed it on the back of the sofa next to him. Looking at Lily and Molly playing on one side, he adjusted his sitting posture to keep Lily in his sight all the time.

Seeing that James treated Lily so well that he took her clothes personally, Jonathan and Cleve couldn't help but be surprised.

"Brother, it's too much for you! Although Shirley didn't mention it, seeing Lillias, Cleve had gotten a rough idea of things. Cleve didn't expect that James would treasure Lillias so much.

Jonathan didn't retort, nor did he disagree Cleve's words.

However, James only looked at Molly and Lily and said, "when do I need you to know everything about me?"

"I just care about you! You..."

"No need." James interrupted coldly.

"Shut up! You quarrel every time you meet! " Glancing at Lily, Jonathan thought for a moment and lowered his voice, "Cleve's saying was right. What are you going to do next? Do you want to continue like this?

After all, Jonathan was a business woman. The first thing that came to his mind was the long-term plan. He didn't want her son, who he valued most, to lose his bright future because of a child. James didn't respond. It was his responsibility to protect Lily.

Jonathan sighed and continued, "we will take good care of her. As you can see, we will treat her well. You just need to do your job, manage the company well, and replace a suitable person, you have to consider the rest of your life! Cleve has been married, but you hasn't got any family yet. How can you be so rude? "

James was never worried about his career, but in other aspects, he was a little... There were a lot of girls outside who wanted to marry James. But all of them needed to be accepted by James, and also approved by the Ling Family.

Suddenly, a person came to her

mind, "Oh, a few days ago, Charlotte from the Qiao Family visited us. She is a good girl." The meaning behind Jonathan's words was clear. Both Jonathan and Shirley were quite satisfied with Charlotte. Although Charlotte was the favorite daughter of the Qiao Family, she was not arrogant at all. She was gentle and generous. Such a girl was the best choice for the elders.

"Do you want the Ling Family and the Qiao Family to unite by marriage?" James' face turned cold.

"It's because parents saw that Charlotte also likes you, so they propose so!" Cleve said, breaking the silence.

James cast a cold glance at him and said, "you don't need to get involved in my business. If you insist on tying me to Charlotte, then you are going to ruin the Qiao Family and the Ling Family."

The Qiao family was famous and

influential in the government. Charlotte was the beloved daughter of the Qiao Family. If she married into an ordinary family, that would be okay But if she didn't marry into an ordinary family, even if they didn't have any other purpose. However, everyone knew what they wanted to do. As for James, he was the most outstanding member of the Ling Family. With the Ling Family's status in the business circle, if the two families united, they would really be on the verge of collapse.

Jonathan had also thought of such things, but compared with others, he believed that Charlotte was the most suitable one to James.

While Lily and Molly were playing. Lily threw the balls, Molly ran over to pick them up, and Lily kept smiling.

"You can't take care of her like this. Anyway, let her live here first." It seemed that Jonathan announce his decision.

"Do you think I will agree?" James smiled, laughing at his father's simplicity. How could James put Lily elsewhere.

"Are you unhappy that dad and mom will help you to raise Lily? Forget it, Dad, don't worry about him anymore. Anyway, he won't appreciate it." Cleve gave Jonathan a difficult and embarrassing position. Jonathan snorted heavily to express his dissatisfaction, but he said nothing. He didn't want to have a quarrel with James on New Year's Eve.

He shifted his gaze from James to Cleve, and suddenly changed the subject. "It's James's business. How about you! Cleve! You and Rachel have been married for years. When will you have a child?" At the mention of the child, Cleve's face darkened. "Well, why did you mention it?" he asked

Jonathan wanted to say something more, but Shirley walked out of the kitchen and said, "everyone, come here. It's time for dinner. Our family haven't been together like this for a long time."
