Chapter 763: Chapter 760: We Still Have to Respect Their Own Wishes

As they were speaking, Theodore and Seth Quinn came down the stairs. Seth walked straight to Clara Grant, took her hand, and said to his parents, "Mom, Dad, I’m going to take Clara back to Orchidia. She’s had a frightening and tiring day and really needs to rest."

"Of course, of course. Go on and take Clara back home. When you get back, have the kitchen make a nutritious and delicious dinner. I feel like Clara has lost some weight recently. She needs to eat more and build her strength back up," Sienna Hale said with a cheerful laugh before Theodore Quinn could even speak.

Clara laughed as well. "Thank you, Mom." Theodore Quinn watched them, gratified to see the relationship between his wife and daughter-in-law had become so harmonious. Sienna was now actively concerned about Clara’s well-being, which told him they had explained everything and cleared the air between them.

Seth Quinn and Clara Grant said their goodbyes and headed for the main hall.

In the living room, Sienna Hale and Theodore Quinn watched until their silhouettes vanished through the doorway, then looked away.

Theodore Quinn looked at Sienna, a teasing smile on his face. "What were you and Clara talking about earlier? You look awfully pleased with yourself."

"Heh, we were talking about pregnancy and kids. Just imagine, if Clara gave us a grandson or granddaughter, wouldn’t our lives be so much more interesting?"

As she spoke, a contented smile graced Sienna’s face, as if she were already imagining the wonderful scene of holding a grandchild.

"So Clara wants kids now?" Theodore asked.

’Now that the dust has settled and there are no more misunderstandings or external factors to get in the way of Clara and Seth’s relationship, it seems like the time is right for them to have a baby. But Clara is still in school, after all. Who knows if she wants a child this soon.’

Sienna shook her head. "She didn’t say whether she wanted one herself, just that Seth doesn’t want kids so early."

"Then let’s just leave it up to them." On the matter of grandchildren, Theodore seemed unhurried. "Since Seth isn’t ready and Clara’s still in school, we should just let it be for now. They’re both still young, anyway. What’s the rush?"

"Still young? Clara may be young, but Seth is about to turn twenty-nine—that’s not young anymore! We already had Jenna when you were his age. You’re sixty this year, and I’m fifty-eight. If we don’t get a grandchild soon, I’m afraid we won’t live to see them grow up."

Compared to Theodore, Sienna was clearly much more anxious.

"Sigh, what’s the point of you being so anxious? Having children is a matter of fate. When the time is right, it’ll happen. Besides, if Seth and Clara aren’t ready, we can’t force the issue.

"I think we have to respect their wishes on this. You shouldn’t push them anymore, either. We don’t want to put any pressure on Clara."

"I know. It just popped into my head, so I brought it up. Don’t worry, I’m not going to hound Clara about having kids." Although Sienna desperately wanted a grandchild, she understood that the decision ultimately belonged to the young couple, and she was willing to respect their wishes.

Seeing his wife be so reasonable for once, Theodore smiled. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and affectionately pressed his forehead against hers. "Don’t you worry. We’ll both live to be a hundred. We’ll absolutely get to see our grandchildren grow into adults."

Theodore never shied away from showing his affection when they were alone, but Sienna still felt a little awkward. She gave him a gentle push and chided him in embarrassment, "Behave yourself. The staff can see us."

"What’s there to be afraid of? They’ve been watching us for decades, they’re used to it," Theodore said matter-of-factly.

The staff members continued with their tasks, but they all had faint smiles on their faces. It was true. The master of the house had doted on and cherished the mistress for decades without fail, and they had long since grown accustomed to it.
