My Bossy CEO Husband

Sheldon, an adorable miniature version of Lyndon with a disarmingly sweet demeanor, shook his head.

“I’m fine.

“Hungry? I can whip you up something yummy,” Brea offered, settling him down next to Luella Fernandez, Lyndon’s grandmother, and handing him a plate of cookies.

Lyndon, ignoring Cade’s murderous glare, took Tilda by the hand to introduce her to his grandparents.

Luella, happily occupied with Sheldon, simply offered Tilda a warm smile in return.

While Axton harbored reservations about Lyndon’s marriage, he kept them veiled.

After all, the deed was done – the Larson family held significant sway.

And what mattered the most was that Lyndon and Tilda needed to produce an heir with genuine Fernandez blood.

Scarlet watched the warm interaction between the elders and Lyndon’s family, a bitter taste blooming in her mouth.

It was all Lyndon’s fault that she endured the humiliation.

Her gaze landed on Sheldon nestled in Brea’s lap – a cold smile crept across her face.

“Aunt Brea seems awfully fond of that child.

It’s a shame Lyndon’s raising someone else’s offspring.

It makes me wonder where the Fernandez estate will ultimately go.

Surely, it won’t fall into the hands of an outsider, right?” Scarlet’s voice dripped with veiled malice.

Scarlet deliberately stirred the waters by bringing up Sheldon’s heritage, aiming to unsettle Lyndon and his parents.

Lyndon’s response was swift, his eyes icy as they met hers.

“Scarlet, it’s best you stay out of my matters.

Firstly, you’re merely my cousin.

Secondly, your future lies in another family.

So you are not in a position to involve yourself in family matters,” he advised, his voice unyielding.

Stunned, Scarlet scrambled mentally for a comeback, but Lyndon pressed on, “Heard about your broken engagement with Bowen— truly unfortunate.

If it helps, I could introduce you to some promising young men at my company.

Interested?”

His tone was laced with faux concern.

Scarlet opened her mouth to reject the offer, but Barnes chimed in from his place on the sofa, aligning with Lyndon, “Lyndon, your approach is much like mine.

If Scarlet cannot marry into a grand family, a modest one will do just fine.

You must know a few suitable candidates in your company.

”

Lyndon turned to his father with a knowing smile.

“Dad, I can certainly make introductions, but let’s not forget, the men I’m thinking of aren’t from distinguished backgrounds.

Yet, they are truly capable.

It’s questionable whether they’d be interested in Scarlet, given her position as a lesser-loved daughter of a prominent family.

Any union would hardly be advantageous, as prosperity doesn’t necessarily follow her,” he stated, his words sharp and cutting.

With those words, he not only deepened the rift between Cade and Scarlet but also struck a deep blow to Scarlet’s pride.

Scarlet and Cade were visibly infuriated, their expressions twisted in anger.

Tilda remained close to Lyndon, her presence quiet but attentive as the tensions rose.

A smile flickered across her lips amidst the heated exchange.

Lyndon’s usually reserved and calm demeanor had given way to a surprising eloquence.

This was the first time she witnessed him wield his words so sharply, his clever barbs targeting Cade and Scarlet with such precision that they seethed with resentment.
