Originally, Li Feina's bit by bit in France has crossed the most difficult threshold.At least after she took the initiative to talk to Edward, except for his insistence that he would not agree to Li Feina stepping into the North family's gate, Edward has not spoken ill of Li Feina anymore.

Li Feina originally thought that her love life with James would always be as happy as a fairy tale.What made her really sure that her world was free from worries was that she found out that she was pregnant.

At first she couldn't believe it was true, but when she was sure that she was indeed pregnant with James' child, if she hadn't worried about the baby in her womb, she would have jumped up for joy.

On the day Li Feina confirmed that she was pregnant, by coincidence, Edward also came to the manor to look for James, as if to talk about something serious.

Originally, she wanted to be full of excitement, but because she was too excited, she wanted to tell James immediately.So she couldn't wait to run to the study to share the happiness between them with him for the first time.

When she came to the door of the study, she heard James talking excitedly before she knocked on the door.She thought James and Edward were talking about work, but when she listened carefully, she felt that James was more angry.

Then, she vaguely heard what they were discussing, which seemed to be related to her.

Out of curiosity, she did not leave in time politely, but chose to stand at the door and listen.

Edward also said angrily after James made a fuss:

"I made an exception to allow you to be with that wild girl, which is already the biggest concession. I just ask you to continue the family with an heir. Is this too much?"

"Father's request is not too much, and I am willing to take on this responsibility. But my child must be conceived with Mayfair, otherwise I would rather not have children." James expressed his determination without negotiating.

Regarding James' insistence, Edward sighed helplessly and said:

"You know very well that even if I am willing to accept that the next generation of the family heir is of mixed race, the chance of that wild girl conceiving your child is very slim. Are you planning to end the family?"

"It can't be concluded yet. Until the end, I won't be able to have children with other women. So father, don't try to force me to agree to the impossible."

"Bastard, am I forcing you? If I force you, I will directly let you marry a well-matched noble lady, instead of letting you hang out with that unstyled wild girl out of nowhere."

What an abominable son, he just asked him to make more preparations to continue the offspring.Didn't he want him to be separated from that ghostly wild girl, why should he be so angry at his old father who has to worry about the family's offspring?

"Father, Fei'er is not some wild girl, she is my recognized wife, please stop calling her "wild girl"."

Every time he heard that Edward always looked at Li Feina with prejudice, James would feel distressed.

"Hmph, doesn't she also call me an old man all day long? She also doesn't respect me, why don't you teach her a lesson?"

It's just a title, even if he really thought that Li Feina was an unruly wild girl at first.But now he called it that just out of habit, and there was no malice in it.

James looked at Edward staring at him from embarrassment, he exhaled helplessly, and then said calmly and seriously:
"Father, Mayfair may not be able to become an elegant and stable woman in her whole life. But kindness, frankness, and unrestrained nature are her nature. I have no intention and do not want her to change her nature. What I fell in love with is her nature. It is she who My tense world has infused me with pure breath, and I am alive because of her breath. With her, I can be the heir of the North family, and I can also be myself. Without her, I Just an heir who lives for the family. Father, aren't you happy that I can take care of the family and be myself happily?"

James' sincere emotion left Edward speechless.Before handing over the family to his son, he also fought for the family as an heir for most of his life.

Therefore, he is well aware of the loneliness of fighting for his family.That is the loneliness that needs to sacrifice a lot of self to support the sky.

He has had many women in his life, but he has never encountered any unforgettable love, and the marriage with his deceased wife is also an arrangement of the family.Having been together for decades, their married life is not to mention any love, but a very plain respect for each other.

In fact, seeing his son happy and satisfied because of Li Fina, he was not without relief.To be honest, if his son could not live a boring and rigid life, why would he have to ask his son to follow the old rules to confine the freedom he could have?

In Edward's silent thinking, James continued:

"Father, I know that if we want to follow the family rules, Mayfair will not meet the conditions to be my wife anyway. But from my despicable self-destruction of the expensive antique watch and the emerald ring passed down by my family to "blame" From the moment I gave it to Mayfair, I decided on Mayfair's life, and I also gave my life to Mayfair. That is to say, from the day I cheated on Mayfair, I did the worst Plan, if I have to choose in the end, I will give up everything and choose Mayfair!"

"This...what do you mean you cheated that wild girl...what do you mean?"

Edward couldn't understand what he heard. He looked at James, and then at Lisa who was with him and asked suspiciously.

Lisa understood Edward's inquiry in seconds.So, instead of James, she told Edward all about how Li Feina got into the deep pit James dug.

After hearing what Lisa said, Edward looked at his son with a bad taste and said in shame:
"That wild girl is always yelling that you seduced her first. Not only is this true, but you are so despicable that you set a trap and blackmailed her life early?"

"That's right!" James frankly said!

"My God!" It's a shame that his adopted son is so despicable!
From the ashamed look on Edward's old face, James vaguely saw that Edward seemed to feel wronged for his little white rabbit.He took the opportunity to say again:
"Father, although I selfishly brought Mayfair to me first. But we all know that she is not forced to love me now. Because she loves me, she also loves everything about me! Father may not know, she Maybe she always deliberately disrespects you in front of you out of anger. But every time she talks about you in front of me, she will call you father. She actually loves you and respects you very much. Also, I have always known you I didn't make trouble for her. But she didn't complain to me once, but every time I quarreled with you, she didn't allow me to be angry with you, because she thought your position was also right. "

"Ahem...!"

Edward groaned uncomfortably, he had actually begun to compromise a lot with Li Fina in his heart.But his only insistence could not be compromised, he looked at his son and said:

"You want to marry her and make her the first foreign hostess in the history of the family. I can back down on this point. I can tolerate her inability to give birth to the next generation for the family. However, if you still have no children within a certain period of time I don't care what method you use, you must leave an heir with your blood for the family, otherwise, all my concessions will be worthless."

"But, father...!"

"No, but all my concessions have almost overturned all the traditions of the family. If you don't even agree to my only request, then our negotiation will have to be voided, and everything will still be done according to the family rules."

"Father, you are still forcing me...!"

"No, I'm not your father now. We are negotiating opponents on the table. In the so-called negotiation, both sides must have gains and losses. I compromised what should be compromised. There is no reason for you to sit back and enjoy everything you want, isn't it?" Edward was scheming looking at the son.

"Damn!"

James cursed and was very unwilling to compromise, but after comprehensive consideration, he blinked and could only say: "OK, I agree to your conditions."

"Okay, it's a deal!" Edward said to Lisa after he finished speaking: "Lisa, let's immediately make an agreement from the conversation we just had."

"What kind of agreement does this need to be made early?"

James looked at Edward in disbelief. If the agreement was drafted, it would be legally effective, and there would be no room for him to go back on his word.

Edward glanced at James and said very bluntly:

"People all over the world know that you are "despicable". When dealing with you, there is no restraint in black and white. Who knows if you will go back on your word."

"You are my father, I will bite anyone back..."

"You cheat on your wife who is spoiled to the bone, so what is my father who you bully every day?"

Hmph, wouldn't he know what tricks his son has?It is not reliable to expect him to keep his promise, it is more useful than a piece of paper.

James was despised by his father, but he had nothing to say, but the corner of his mouth twitched.

Lisa didn't understand why she had to be present at the "household negotiations" between their father and son until she heard that Edward suddenly asked her to draft a formal agreement.It turned out that today Edward planned to negotiate an executable result from the very beginning, so she was asked by Edward to be present as an observer in order to let her draft the agreement on the spot.

In this way, Edward and James signed the so-called agreement in private.Before Edward left, he said to James:

"Son, although I am your father, I am also the patriarch of the family. If you violate the family rules, it is tantamount to breaking the traditions of the family for hundreds of years. According to the regulations, the closest offspring of your current choice is eligible to take over unconditionally." Your position. Now the only person who has that qualification is William. Before that day comes, you still have room for regret. But once William proposes that he will inherit the North family instead of you, do you have a way to deal with it?"

"Where's father? Are there countermeasures?"

"Now I'm asking you. If you want to regret it, it's still too late."

"I never do anything I regret."

"Then, I have already handed over the entire family to you, how to protect your position is up to you."

Edward made a gesture of shaking hands.As for the final decision on the family heir, he knew that Williams had always revealed in the past that he was also qualified to inherit the North family.But Edward knew very well that aside from the bloodline issue, James was more capable than Williams in leading the family, and he was also more suitable for the position of heir.

So, before James didn't choose Li Feina as his life partner.Edward is not worried at all that James will not be able to hold the position of heir!
But it is different now. If Williams really has the intention to snatch the position of heir, this time is the best time.

However, regarding Williams' thoughts, Edward glanced at Lisa with a smile, and his heart was like a mirror.

The peace of their North family has nothing to do with anything else, maybe it's only because he takes a step back and the sea and the sky can be improved.If he doesn't back down, the turmoil between him and his son glaring at each other will definitely happen, and I'm afraid that the loss outweighs the gain!
