Chapter 1561 - 1553: Wherever the Gaze Falls, There Shall Be Forever—Daxton Lancaster Shows His Might (3000+)

Originally, Violet Zimmerman resented her husband, but she also felt sympathy for his disappointment. Although the day before, the two of them were full of grievances towards each other, the next morning, as they went to have breakfast with the family patriarch, they were holding hands.

After talking all night, the knot in their hearts was completely untied. They both believed that they would soon have a baby and that once the baby was born, they would live happily as a family...

Violet Zimmerman still hadn’t shown any signs of pregnancy, and her mother-in-law Lorelei Howard remained cold towards her. When she saw Violet coming to have breakfast as usual, Eva Hayes deliberately brought up the topic of her daughter-in-law being pregnant. While they were having breakfast, Eva deliberately raised her voice and asked.

"Victoria, I heard from Daemon that the child was quite restless last night. Do you want Mom to take you to the hospital for a check-up?"

Violet had not been married into the Lancaster Family for long, and she did not have much interaction with Victoria Thornton, let alone any conflict. The gentle and virtuous woman was usually quiet and never acted superior as the family head’s wife in front of anyone, so Victoria’s impression of her was not bad either.

Knowing her mother-in-law’s intention, she quietly glanced at Violet and smiled, saying, "No need, Mom, it was the same when I was pregnant with Maxmilian."

Hearing her daughter-in-law say this, Eva Hayes looked at Violet’s face with satisfaction and said, "Oh, if that’s the case, then I’m relieved. It looks like this one in your belly will be just like Maximilian, another big, chubby grandson for sure!"

Listening to Eva’s deliberate flaunting, Lorelei Howard wanted to scold her a bit, but her own daughter-in-law was truly disappointing, so she could only glare at her with displeasure and endure the humiliation.

At the adjacent dining table, the three sons of the second house were all wearing smug expressions, especially when seeing their aunt Lorelei Howard’s face turn green with anger.

Aurora Lancaster was quite enraged, but due to the strict family rules of the Lancaster Family, she did not dare to interrupt while the elders were speaking.

Atlas Lancaster’s expression wasn’t good either, and he looked discontentedly at his son Daxton Lancaster, "Daxton, still no news from Violet?"

"Eldest brother, why are you in such a hurry? Having a child is not like a hen laying an egg; you can’t just lay a basket of eggs overnight."

The family patriarch unhappily scolded his eldest son, and nearby, Eva Hayes chimed in again, speaking sarcastically at the already served dishes on the table.

"Dad, you can’t put it like that. You see, when it comes to women having kids, it really is quite similar to hens laying eggs. You throw them a pile of straw, but whether they can lay an egg depends on their own ability."

Violet’s expression became somewhat awkward. Two weeks had passed, and she still couldn’t guarantee she was pregnant.

Beside her, Daxton Lancaster interjected, gently kneading her hand under the table and looking at Eva Hayes with a half-smile.

"Second Mom, while some women might be like hens laying eggs, my wife isn’t just any woman. Violet is the Lancaster Family’s head lady, and the child she bears is to inherit the position of the family head."

Daxton’s words were nonchalant; a man with deep scheming, he knew well how to deliver a decisive blow. Failing to take the family head position had always been the sore spot of the second house, and his words struck them critically.

Bodhi Lancaster snorted coldly and turned his face aside. On the other table, apart from Aurora Lancaster who looked quite pleased, the other men’s expressions didn’t look any better.

Especially Daemon Lancaster, for he was originally supposed to inherit the position of family head. Not only did he fail to secure it, but Daxton Lancaster also reprimanded him with the family laws.

Under the table, his hand subconsciously fell on his left leg, which had developed a chronic condition after being disciplined. Whenever the weather changed, his left leg would ache faintly.

Daemon clenched his teeth tightly, and the muscles on both sides of his face showed bite marks from the force.

Suddenly, warmth covered the back of his hand as his wife Victoria Thornton’s hand rested on it. She had married him after he had offended family laws, so she wasn’t aware of the scheming between the two houses.

Besides, Victoria had a carefree personality and focused only on doing business and making money, having no envy or desire for the family head’s matters.

Meeting his wife’s smiling gaze, Daemon’s mood slightly improved.

Eva Hayes glared at Daxton Lancaster with dissatisfaction, snapping, "Hmph, what’s the use of being a head lady if you can’t even lay an egg?!"

After Eva Hayes spoke,

Daxton’s expression suddenly became icy as he glared at Eva, giving a cold warning.

"Second Mom, don’t blame me for not reminding you. If anyone in the Lancaster Family, including the elders, dares to disrespect Violet again, don’t blame me, Daxton Lancaster, for bringing family law into this!"
