Transmigrated as the Villain Boss's Precious Darling-Chapter 149: The Infertile Second Aunt

Felix Thorne, however, was filled with resentment. Back then, it was Shane Thorne who had claimed Phoenix Golding had the face of a wanton harlot, which made Byron Thorne dead set against him being with her, forcibly breaking them up.

But after Phoenix Golding got married, she had always been proper and well-behaved, and there was never any gossip about her. Naturally, Felix Thorne harbored a grudge against Shane Thorne, but he didn’t dare show it, afraid of getting a beating.

"Sixth Uncle, I stopped seeing her a long time ago. Her business has nothing to do with me."

"That’s good."

Shane Thorne gave a slight smile, his sharp gaze making Felix feel so guilty that he lowered his head.

Jim Thorne couldn’t help but mutter, "He just sold her some meat a few days ago. He’s talking nonsense..."

Felix Thorne shot him a fierce glare. Jim Thorne flinched and didn’t dare mutter another word. Inside, his disgust for Phoenix Golding’s family grew even stronger. ’Sooner or later, I’m going to catch Phoenix Golding in the act and let my old man see that vixen’s true face for himself. Hmph!’

Tang Xiaonan pricked up her ears, listening to this old gossip, and was inwardly shocked. The book had never mentioned that Felix Thorne and Phoenix Golding had a romantic past. She felt that the world she had arrived in was becoming less and less like the world in the book; there were so many things the book never mentioned.

Moreover, Tang Xiaonan’s impression of Jacqueline Spann couldn’t help but change. ’With a mother of that character, Jacqueline Spann can’t be much better. In the book, wasn’t Jacqueline the idealized love interest in every man’s heart? That’s exactly like Phoenix Golding. Like mother, like daughter, indeed.’

’A woman like that must be very cunning, definitely not as kind and wonderful as the author described. I’ll have to be more careful when I deal with Jacqueline Spann from now on.’

After dinner, Frederick Thorne got on his bike to hurry back to town. Lana Steiner was home alone, and he was worried, so he was determined to go back even if it was pitch-black out.

"Is she a child? Can’t she stay home by herself? It’s pitch-black outside, what if you fall down? Rushing back in such a hurry isn’t going to get her pregnant, so what’s the damned use of going back!"

Raina was furious and wouldn’t stop nagging, but Frederick Thorne just smiled gently, not offering any defense. He knew that the more he argued, the more his mother would find fault with his wife, so it was better to say nothing. Eventually, once she’d had her say, she would stop.

"Xiaonan, your Second Aunt bought this hair clip for you. Do you think it’s pretty?"

Frederick Thorne pulled a brightly colored hair clip from his pocket. In truth, Tang Xiaonan looked down on it; it was too tacky, with the distinct feel of cheap plastic. But in this day and age, it was considered a very nice item.

"It’s pretty! Second Uncle, when is Second Aunt coming back? I miss her."

Tang Xiaonan happily accepted the hair clip and asked about her Second Aunt, Lana Steiner. She had important business with her, after all.

"Things are busy at school right now. She’ll come back in a while when she gets a break."

Frederick Thorne carefully tied the new clip in his niece’s hair. He was afraid he would probably never have children of his own, so doting on his niece was the next best thing. Besides, Lana also adored Tang Xiaonan and often bought the girl snacks and clothes. They had even discussed adopting their niece to raise as their own daughter, but they never dared to bring it up, afraid that Felix Thorne would beat them to death.

Although Raina was still grumbling, she went out to the garden and gathered a basket of fresh, crisp vegetables and some eggs for Frederick Thorne to take back with him. But when she thought about how Lana couldn’t have children, Raina felt a surge of frustration and began to sigh.

"I heard there’s a woman in Rosillia Village named Auntie Liu whose medicine is quite effective. A lot of women who couldn’t get pregnant had babies after taking it. I’ll go get some of that medicine tomorrow. If my second son’s wife doesn’t have a baby soon, she’ll be too old to have one later," Raina muttered to herself.

Tang Xiaonan’s heart skipped a beat. ’Auntie Liu’s medicine... This is it!’
