All Chapters of Exiting the Marriage, Entering Her Era: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Helena said, "Mom, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave behind any heirs, so maybe you should urge Gia to have a couple more children. Soph has congenital deficiencies, and she's an only child. If Gia could produce two more chubby babies for the Seeles, Grandma would definitely be happy about it."Evanna's expression darkened at the mention of children. "Conceiving a child is easier said than done. Georgia has been fully devoted to taking care of Soph for the past few years."Both Mom and I have encouraged her to consider another child, but she said more or less the same thing you and Felix did—she was too busy with work and would simply consider it in the future."Helena made a sound of realization, then pressed, "Gia's now the Seele family's only daughter-in-law, so isn't it her responsibility as Fred's wife to waste no time expanding the family?""Her priority is career advancement. She's not as family-oriented as you," Evanna replied, holding Helena's fingers. "It's truly a pity

Elijah, who was standing nearby, said to Helena, "If you're lacking in knowledge, Dr. Linden, you should study harder to brush up on that."Helena's expression cycled through a dozen emotions before finally settling into an angry snort. "You seem quite conceited, Mr. Seele."Elijah was calm and refined. "One's capabilities determine everything, do they not?"With that, he quickly caught up to Georgia."You gave me quite the scare just now, Georgia. I broke out into a cold sweat," he complained.He added innocently, "We've really abandoned all civility with Helena now. Surely Fred won't blame us, right?"Georgia continued walking, her gaze fixed ahead. "Once science and business are brought together, there's no room left for personal feelings, because only capability and solid academic theory can allow us to keep walking this path."Elijah's breath caught, and he looked at Georgia with a smile in his eyes.Georgia, despite leaving Eterna and Fred's shadow, was still a powerful

The next morning, three SUVs stopped outside the Seele residence.Fred's friends had come to meet up for the trip.Fred and Georgia finished packing their luggage before walking out into the living room.Jonathan was sitting in the driver's seat of the first SUV while Shane was sitting in the front passenger seat."Gia," Jonathan called out.Georgia was a little surprised to see him here. "Are you coming along too, Jon?"Jonathan replied with a smile, "All work and no play makes me a dull man.""That's true."Georgia felt like she was having a sudden moment of clarity. She certainly needed to take a break from her heavy workload.Dwayne drove another SUV over, whereupon Fred told Georgia, "You should get in first."Just then, Helena got out of the second SUV with a considerable amount of snacks in her arms.She walked directly up to Sophie and exclaimed, "Look at the delicious snacks I brought you, Soph!"Sophie took one look at the packaging and started jumping for joy. "W

Georgia had already lost interest in playing cards with Helena and Fred. She was only here because Sophie wanted to be."No, you guys go ahead. I'll take Soph over to the grass." Georgia took Sophie's hand and walked off.Helena kept her smile and gave a small shrug. "Come on, Gia. I was just joking. I meant it as a compliment. She's good.""Jon, you in?" Shane nudged Jonathan with his elbow, snapping him out of his daze."I think I'll sit this one out. You guys go ahead." Jonathan was the quietest in the group. He didn't like to jump in, so he let someone else take the spot."Fred, you're on my team, across from me. We're gonna crush them." Helena's competitive streak flared as she spoke to Fred, who had been quiet."Fred, don't team up with her. Come on my side. I need you." Shane deliberately cut her off, keeping Helena from getting her way."Freddie…" Helena suddenly whined. The way she said it seemed to pull everyone right back into those wild days they'd spent messing arou

Georgia wasn't in the mood for anything. "Just give me some bread," she said.Jonathan heard her and immediately took out a box of freshly baked bread from his bag. "The housekeeper made it. Give it a try."Fred glanced at Jonathan as she reached out to take the bread. "Smells great. Thanks, Jon."Jonathan smiled. "Have some first to tide you over. Fred and I will grill some meat for you.""Okay." She nodded.The two men sat quietly by the grill and got to work on dinner.Before they knew it, it was past eight. Jonathan suddenly stood up. "Why aren't they back yet? I can't reach them."Fred stood up as well and walked to the edge, looking toward the next ridge over. "The wind's picking up… Do you think they went too far?"Just then, Lucas and Tessa came running back, panic written all over their faces. "Fred, something's wrong. Helena is missing."Everyone froze. "What happened?"Tessa, flustered, quickly explained. "We followed the path we remembered, but it was completely o
