My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1981

Hadwin asked, "Mom, aren't you curious why Vivian went abroad? Now that Mr. Martin and Mrs. Martin are back, why didn't she stay in Jipsburg?"

Natalie was scrolling through short videos on her phone. Hearing Hadwin's question, she briefly glanced up at him before shifting her gaze back to the screen.

Her tone was casual. "Vivian's situation isn't ours to worry about. Skylar and Joe will take care of it. Are you still hung up on Vivian?

"Did everything I said before go in one ear and out the other? You and Vivian are impossible. Focus on something else."

"Mom, aren't you even a little curious?" Hadwin conveniently ignored her last two sentences.

Whether they were a good match or not, he wouldn't give up until he heard it from Vivian herself.

Natalie rolled her eyes, her patience wearing thin. "Curious about what? You know how much Skylar and Joe treasure her. There's nothing for us to worry about, and you shouldn't burden them with unnecessary questions. You're an adult now. Haven't you learned that some things are better left unasked?"

Hadwin was at a loss for words. No one in their family could ever win an argument against his mother. She had an uncanny ability to shut people down within a few sentences.

His lips twitched in frustration as he stood up. "Fine, I won't ask anymore, okay? I'm heading out—I have plans with some friends tonight."

"Make sure you use protection. I'm not ready to be a grandmother," Natalie said coldly, giving him a sharp glance.

She had no idea how she ended up with such a playboy of a son. He changed girlfriends as often as he changed outfits.

If it weren't for the fact that contraceptives were so readily available now and the fact that some women took precautions, she might have had several grandkids by now.

Hadwin had barely taken a few steps when he nearly tripped over himself. His face twisted through several shades of embarrassment.

"Want me to send a few boxes of protection to your place?" Natalie asked nonchalantly when he didn't respond.

Hadwin's lips twitched violently. "No need."

He walked toward the door but hesitated. Turning back, he felt the need to defend himself. "Mom, I don't date around that much anymore. I'm really just meeting some friends this time."
