The Ex-con Queen Strikes Back novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148

Cecil: [Volker, add me back into the group, will you?]

Volker rejected him without even thinking.

Volker: [You were kicked out by Yosef himself. I don’t dare add you back, in case I get dragged down with you.]

Cecil was scratching his head in frustration. He had no choice but to shamelessly add Yosef back as a friend, apologize, and promise not to make fun of him again.

He even said that he was an expert at making girls happy, and only then was he re–added as a friend and pulled back into the group.

As soon as he joined, to prove he truly knew how to please girls, he offered a suggestion,

Cecil: [If you want to make her happy and get her to forgive you, you have to start with what she likes. Once you know her preferences, you’re halfway there.]

Yosef looked up at Skylar. ‘Her preferences?‘

In all the years they were married, he had never paid attention to her, let alone learned about her likes.

Now that she was living at the Lambert family household, finding out her preferences wouldn’t be easy. But…

His gaze shifted to the little boy watching cartoons.

Adam had been by her side all this time, so he definitely knew her likes.

Yosef withdrew his gaze and turned his attention back to the group chat.

Yosef: [What else?]

Volker added: [Send her flowers and gifts. Girls always say they don’t like those things, but deep down, receiving them will definitely make them happy.)

Leyton racked his brain and came up with one. [Instead of trying to please her, why don’t you just go and apologize?]

Yosef replied: [Already did. Didn’t work.]

Leyton was stunned.

Cecil was also shocked and found it funny. He quickly typed a barrage of questions: [You? Apologizing? Who has that kind of influence? Who is this girl anyway?]

Yosef replied curtly: [None of your business.]

Cecil teased: [Come on, I’m just curious. Tell us!]

Yosef shot back: [Shut up.]

Cecil zipped his lips. [Okay.]

Resting his head on one hand, Cecil typed: [You can try what the others suggested. If it doesn’t work, we’ll help you think of more ideas.}

Yosef narrowed his eyes slightly.

He exited the group chat and messaged Hudson: [Get me a bouquet of flowers, some jewelry, and other gifts girls might like.)

Hudson was shocked. He couldn’t believe it.

Chapter 148

He asked: [Mr. Campbell, is that really you?]

Yosef replied: [.]

That single icy punctuation confirmed it was indeed Yosef.

Hudson: [Understood, Mr. Campbell. I’ll get right on it.]

Yosef put his phone away.

Just then, a nurse brought the medical report. It showed that Adam was in good health and ready to be discharged.

Skylar took Adam back to the Lambert family residence. On the way, she debated whether to tell her parents the truth.

If she told them Adam was her biological son, they would definitely ask about her and Yosef.

She wasn’t sure if she could dig up those painful memories from five years ago.

After hesitating for a long time, she decided to come clean. She didn’t want Adam to suffer any more grievances.

As they neared home, she messaged her parents, saying she had something important to tell them and asked them to gather everyone in the living

room.

Yana and Carlos didn’t know what their daughter wanted to say, but they gathered the whole family anyway.

Freya was annoyed and grumbled in her heart. ‘Such a big fuss for what? She’s acting like she’s someone important.’

Then, Skylar walked in with Adam.

In the car, Adam had been told by Skylar that she was going to formally introduce him to his grandparents.

He was nervous. Even though he had stayed at the Lambert family’s house before, he had been treated as a guest.

So even though he was from the rival Campbell family, the Lamberts still treated him kindly.

If they now found out he was her biological child and what his father had done, he feared they would treat him differently.

Adam’s palms were sweaty, and he looked around anxiously.

Skylar noticed his damp hands and looked down. “Adam, are you scared?”

“Just a little nervous,” Adam nodded. “Mom, will Grandma and Grandpa hate me?”

Skylar was puzzled. “Why would you think that?”

Adam shared his worries.

“They like you very much. They won’t hate you.” She patted his head gently. “And besides, you’ve got me.”

Adam nodded.

He lifted his head and sat up straighter. “Let’s go,,Mommy.”

The two walked into the living room and approached the sofa.

Yana frowned slightly but looked up gently at Skylar. “Sweetheart, you said your had something important to say. What is it?”

Skylar got straight to the point. “Dad, Mom, Blake, Freya. Adam is my biological child.”

Yana was stunned.

+32)

Carlos hadn’t even processed it yet. “We already know that.”

Blake’s eyes instantly turned cold.

Adam was the child of Yosef and Skylar.

Blake seethed inwardly. ‘Yosef, that despicable scum.’
