Chapter 262 I Don’t Have a Younger Brother

Ingrid returned home after buying the things. Seeing that Hannah was alone at home, Ingrid knew that Hannah was waiting for her. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Mom!” She smiled. She quickly walked over and put down the bag in her hand on the ground. “I bought two new scarves for dad. Since the new designs are good, I bought two scarves for you. See if you like them!”

She opened the bag and was about to take the scarves out.

“No need for now. Put it there. Ingrid, come over here,” Hannah said.

Hannah called Ingrid over to sit down beside her. Then, she ordered the servant to fetch the soup from the kitchen. Then Hannah waved her hand to sign all the servants to leave. Only Hannah and Ingrid were left in the room.

“Mom, do you have something to tell me?” Ingrid asked with a smile as she looked around.

Hannah nodded, gazing at Ingrid’s face. She raised her hand and gently stroked Ingrid’s hair. “Ingrid, time flies. You have grown into a big girl.”

“Mom, what are you saying? I didn’t grow up overnight. You watched me grow up.” She chuckled and bent down to pick up the soup.

“Yes!” Hannah said emotionally, “I gave birth to you and watched you grow up. You are very smart, but unfortunately…”

She didn’t continue as if she was in a trance.

Ingrid knew what Hannah didn’t say. She was a girl and couldn’t inherit the Petersen family’s estate.

The Petersen family was still conservative in this modern world. They required their estate to be inherited by men. In Ingrid’s generation, there are few boys. Only her eldest uncle had one son, but he wasn’t interested in business. Ingrid was her parents’ only daughter.

Ingrid’s father had an illegitimate child, but he wasn’t recognized by the Petersen family. Even if he was a boy, he couldn’t inherit the Petersen family’s property.

It was why her parents quarreled. Ingrid’s father wanted her mother to recognize the illegitimate child so that the , Petersen family could allow the boy to inherit the family property.

What a joke!

On what basis did he think that Hannah would agree to accept the child given birth by another woman and give everything to him? Sometimes, Ingrid felt that her father was mad.

“Mom, today’s soup is especially delicious!” Ingrid smiled and changed the topic. She avoided the awkward topics at the right time to make the atmosphere less strange.

Hannah naturally knew Ingrid’s intentions, so she was even more satisfied and guilty. “Ingrid, you are a big girl. There are some things I don’t want to hide from you anymore. You can see what happened between your father and me You also know what is going on. I wonder about your opinions.”

“What do I think? Mom, what do you mean? What can I think?” Ingrid asked with a smile. Her hand holding the bowel slightly trembled.

“Ingrid, you know you have a younger brother…”

“I don’t have a younger brother!” Ingrid interrupted her and said decisively, “Mom, I am you and dad’s only daughter. Have you forgotten? I don’t have a younger brother!”

Hannah sighed. She was a little tired. “You don’t recognize him. Me, neither. But your father is determined to recognize his son. What should we do?”

She turned her head and said seriously, “It has been so many years since dad wanted to acknowledge him as his son. If he didn’t respect you, he would not have kept asking for your opinion. It means you are still important in this family,”

Hannah knew that she was important. If not so, Shawn would have divorced her and married that bitch.

For so many years, Hannah had turned a blind eye because she didn’t want to be too extreme. It was normal for men to have a mistress. As long as Declan didn’t make things too difficult for her, she could get by and maintain the family stability. However, Declan’s health condition had been poor in the past few years. Seeing that there was no suitable successor, Shawn began to have some evil intentions.

He had always wanted to take charge of the Petersen family, but Declan was suppressing him. Now was a good opportunity. He wanted to take back that bastard child outside to inherit the family business.

In terms of the overall situation, Hannah hoped that her husband would be able to take charge of the entire Petersen family. Her identity would be different. A genuine Petersen family leader wouldn’t be the same as other family members.

However, if the price was to recognize that bastard, she could never accept it.

If she tolerated the existence of that bastard child, Hannah was afraid that Shawn would marry that woman. At that time, there will be no place for them.

Then all these years of painstaking efforts would be in vain.

“If your father is determined, I’m afraid that we won’t be able to stop him.”

Shawn had been testing her in the past two years and even told her the whole truth now. She didn’t believe that it had nothing to do with that woman. Who knew if Shawn would make up his mind regardless of her opinion?

“Mom, why are you stopping hirn? You have been married for so many years. Don’t you know his temper? The more you talk him out of it, the more he will insist on doing it. If you stop him, it will only make him more determined. Dad will be biased towards them!”

Ingrid said gently and gently. She had always been well-behaved and quiet. In the circle of socialites, she was a famous role model. Many people would use her as an example. They would say, “Look at how gentle and demure the young lady of the Petersen family is. She is so educated and reasonable.”

She analyzed it clearly as if it had nothing to do with her. She was just an outsider analyzing the situation and giving ideas with an objective view.

“But how can I not stop them? If I don’t, they will move in perhaps. What should we do?”

Ingrid smiled softly. After finishing the soup, Ingrid put down the bowl and elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth. Then, she looked at Hannah. “Mom, you are so smart. Why do you become silly in terms of this thing?

“You might not be able to stop dad, but whether they will be accepted by the family is not all up to him,” Ingrid said as her gaze drifted to the door, “The Petersen family won’t easily accept outsiders. They might have to pay a price for it.”
