Pregnant With Ex's Babies novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316 The grandfather and grandson also trick each other.

The Hodges Family’s old mansion.

When they returned, the three kids were in the living room watching William play chess with Old Hodges.

“Old Hodges, can you hurry up?” William urged him.

“Why are you rushing me? You’re not a kid anymore, yet you’re so impatient!”

“You’ve been staring at the board for five minutes!”

“So what if I take ten minutes? Chess is about relaxing and nurturing your mind. With your impatience, you better watch

your heart!” Old Hodges replied.

“My heart is perfectly fine!”

“I’m not saying your heart is bad; I’m worried it might become bad.”

“Sounds like you’re hoping for my heart to fail!”

“Old Adler, be reasonable. That’s not what I meant!” Old Hodges said.

“Are you implying I’m unreasonable?”

“I…” Old Hodges was at a loss and turned to First. “First, tell me, is that what I meant?” he asked.

“Uh…” First didn’t expect to be dragged into the argument.

Then William spoke up, “Second, you chime in too. Is that what he meant?”

Second had been planning to enjoy the show, but he didn’t expect to be pulled in as well. He exchanged a bewildered

smile with First, unsure of what to say.

Just then, Hugo and Scarlett walked in.

“Daddy, Scarlett, you’re back!” Fourth cheered and immediately rushed toward them.

Upon hearing this, First and Second also turned to look. Seeing Hugo and Scarlett enter, the brothers exchanged a glance

and instantly shared the same joyful expression.

“Scarlett’s back!”

“She’s back!” they exclaimed, and then turned to run toward Scarlett and Hugo.

“Ah…” The old man wanted to say something, but his gaze met William’s.

“Forget it, forget it, I’m not playing anymore!” the old man said.

“Not playing means admitting defeat!”

“You-” The old man wanted to retort, but looking at William, he decided against it. “Fine, I lost. It’s just a game of chess.

I’m not playing with you anymore; I’m going to find Scarlett!” With that, he got up and headed to the living room.

“Mommy!” Fourth threw herself into Scarlett’s arms, acting all cute.

“Scarlett!”

“Scarlett!”

First and Second walked over, looking at Scarlett with expressions like obedient children.

Hugo stood nearby, feeling a bit left out.

Scarlett hugged Fourth and then set her down. “Go find Daddy!”

Fourth immediately ran over to Hugo.

Scarlett then approached Second. “How are you feeling today? Any better?”

“Yeah, much better!” Second replied with a smile.

“Remember, it takes a hundred days for bones and muscles to heal. Make sure you get plenty of rest!” Scarlett advised.

“Got it, Scarlett. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to use this time to get nice and healthy!” Second said, smiling.

First leaned in and whispered, “Scarlett, you came back just in time!”

Scarlett glanced over at William and the old man, then whispered back, “What, are they trying to pull you into their little

team again?”

First nodded reluctantly.

“It really is tough on you all!” Scarlett said sympathetically.

Just then, Grandpa He walked over. “Scarlett, you’re back. Have you had dinner yet? Should I have the kitchen prepare

something for you?”

“No need, Grandpa He, I ate earlier this afternoon,” Scarlett replied.

“How about some tea then?” he offered.

Scarlett nodded, “Sure!”

So, the family gathered in the living room, sipping tea together.

Hugo glanced at Scarlett and then spoke up, “By the way, Grandpa, didn’t you mention that the old house needs a renovation? Have you thought about where you’ll stay during that time?”

Grandpa He paused for a moment, surprised.

Fourth chimed in, “Great–grandfather, wasn’t the house just renovated? Why does it need another one?”

“Uh, well, this house is meant for your dad’s wedding, so we need to prepare it in advance…” Grandpa He said, making up

an excuse on the spot.

Hearing this, Fourth’s eyes lit up.

A wedding?

Her gaze quickly shifted between Scarlett and Hugo. Could that day finally be coming?

“Daddy, are you getting married?” Fourth asked with a playful smile.

At that moment, Hugo glanced at Scarlett, who kept her eyes down, pretending she hadn’t heard anything.

“Marriage… it’s bound to happen eventually. But your great–grandfather just wants to renovate early, not get married right

now!”

“Oh, okay!” Fourth replied, her voice carrying a hint of disappointment.

Then, Hugo turned to Old Mr. Hodges, who raised his eyebrows. “Exactly, let’s get the house ready so when the time

comes, you can move in anytime!”

“That makes sense!” Fourth nodded, thinking that once the house was renovated, the wedding couldn’t be too far off.

“So, Grandpa, have you decided where to move first?” Hugo asked.

Old Mr. Hodges pretended to ponder for a moment, then looked at William. “Old Adler, how about we move to the estate?”

William looked up at him.

“You could move there too, and the three little ones can come along. That way, we can keep an eye on them without any

fuss.”

William frowned slightly before saying, “If you want to move, go ahead. I won’t…”

“Grandpa, I think Mr. Hodges‘ suggestion is a good one. You’re both getting older, and living together means you can take

care of the little ones and look out for each other. It would also give us peace of mind while we’re working away,” Scarlett

said,

William frowned, surprised that Scarlett agreed.

“What about you? Who will take care of you?” he asked.

“Grandpa, I can take care of myself!”

“No way, I can’t be at ease if I’m not around you!”

“Then let Scarlett stay over occasionally too,” Hugo suggested.

Scarlett thought for a moment and nodded, “Yes, I’ll visit often!”

“But…”

“Grandpa, you’re taking care of me and the little ones all by yourself. I’m worried about your health, and I’m an adult

can manage on my own!” Scarlett insisted.

Just as William was about to say something, Mr. Hodges chimed in, “Exactly, Old Adler. Young people need their own time

and space. What’s an old man like you doing hovering around all the time?”

“Mind your own business, I like it this way!” William retorted.

“Alright, alright, you win!” Grandpa Adler said helplessly. He knew that the only person who could get Old Adler to agree

was Scarlett, so he decided to just keep quiet.

Even though William Adler said that, he knew deep down that they all had a point. At that moment, he turned his gaze to

Scarlett. “Scarlett, come over here. I want to talk to you alone,” he said, getting up and walking to the side.
