Chapter 398 A Head-on Blow
They were just little kids, but now they tried to be involved in the adults' affairs.
"By the way, mommy, didn't you say that you would take us to pick strawberry? Let's go tomorrow, okay?"
Teresa took a look at Brain, who was looking up at her. What tricks did this little guys want to play?
"I have no objection. But I have to ask for your Grandpa Albert's permission."
Brain and Bruce looked at each other and smiled. Anyway, Grandpa Albert loved them the most. Besides, it was not excessive for them to make such a request. However, deep in their heart, they hoped that Grandma Ashley would not go with them.
"Brain, Bruce, it's time for dinner."
Teresa and the two children went out on the swing and stayed here for a long time. During the dinner time, Lena came to ask them back to have dinner in person. Teresa chuckled and wondered why her sister always wandered in front of her but didn't talk to her?
"Mommy. Let's go to have dinner."
Teresa picked down the two children from the swing and walked towards Lena, who was standing not far away. The two children were already in a good mood, jumping up and down. Lena reached out to hold the two children. Teresa smiled and sighed. When did her sister become so childish? Would a woman's character become different from before after pregnancy?
"Sister, I was wrong. Please forgive me. Please talk to me. Look at you!"
Well, there should be someone to give in. Besides, her brother-in-law had said that her sister had been waiting for her call. Unfortunately, she had been too busy in the past few days. On the one hand, she
had to take care of Fiona, on the other hand, she had to draw the design draft, and at that same time, she also had to deal with the trifles of the wedding and facing Enrique. She had forgotten that her sister was still angry.
"Humph, you didn't call me, which means you don't love me."
"Sister, how could it be? I was just talking to Brain and Bruce about our childhood."
"Yes, Auntie Lena. My mommy also said that Auntie Lena was nice to her when she was a child. Aunt, from now on, Brain will also be nice to Auntie Lena."
"Bruce will be nice to Auntie Lena too."
The two little guys, pulled by Lena, were smart. They would not let go of this chance, a chance to help their mother and Auntie Lena reconcile. The smile on Lena's face become deeper. She was not really angry with Abby, but she felt awkward. She thought that she was doing this for Abby's good, but Abby still returned to the side of Enrique.
She was angry and was waiting for her call, but Abby, a heartless woman, didn't know to call her.
"Yes, my sister is the person who treat me the best in the world."
Teresa walked beside Lena and looked at her sideways.
"That's nice of you to say. Did you also say that to our brother?"
Teresa blinked her eyes and didn't answer. Although Lena knew her guess was right, she couldn't help smiling. She felt much better now, so she could have one more bowl of rice tonight.
Back to the villa of the Gu Family, everyone was sitting at the table. When they saw Teresa and the others, their eyes fell on them. As for Ares, he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all. Instead, he just
sat beside Fiona, and Fiona seemed to be very uneasy.
"I'm sorry, everyone. We are late. Sorry for keeping you waiting."
"Abby, you have changed a lot since you left the Gu Family."
Everyone was about to say that they didn't wait long and wanted to ask them to come to have dinner quickly, but Ashley said first. Teresa felt a little uneasy. The other shrewd people sitting on the sofa all understood what Ashley meant. What she meant was that Teresa had left the Gu Family for so long that she didn't even forget the rules. She even asked the elders to wait here.
"I'm sorry, mom. I... "
"You don't have to explain. Recently, you'd better learn more rules from your sister. Otherwise, you will disgrace our Gu Family if you marry into the Shen Family."
"What are you talking about? Do you think Lena is easy to deal with and easygoing? I think she is not as sensible and obedient as Abby. You are the only one having this kind of thoughts. Abby, take Brain and Bruce to sit down. Let's have dinner. Don't mind her. She is in menopause."
Albert couldn't stand his wife's words. He thought that Abby was treated well at Shen Family. Why did she come back to her own home now and have to obey the rules? There did be rules in the Gu Family, but those rules were not a tool to let her give Abby a head-on blow.
Harris's expression also darkened. Teresa was now the daughter-in-law of the Shen Family. Even if they hadn't held a banquet, she had already got the certificate with his son. Albert's wife was not easy to deal with when she was young, and now it seemed that she become more unreasonable when she was old. If Albert hadn't stopped him, he might have left the Gu Family with his daughter-in-law right now.
"Yes, mom. Look at you. There are so many guests here. Why do you say that?"
Lena hurried to mediate the dispute. She knew that her mother didn't like Abby since childhood, but she shouldn't do it in front of the two children, not to mention that there were outsiders present. Abby would be embarrassed if she did this.
"Okay, okay. You are pregnant now. Why are you running around all day long? Come and sit next to me."
When facing Lena, Ashley's tone was much softer. Lena obediently sat beside Ashley. Teresa's face was a little gloomy, and she sat far away with Brain and Bruce. Fortunately, there were a lot of people on the table now. They didn't have to be very embarrassed to do this.
"All right, all right. Enjoy yourself. Don't be so polite. It's your own home. Abby, eat more."
"Thank you, Dad."
Brain and Bruce were sensible and obedient. They lowered their heads and ate the rice. They didn't even put out their chopsticks to pick up food. Harris was worried and felt sorry about them.
There were so many people here today, and Albert's wife dared to do this. If they were not here, maybe they would do something to his daughter-in-law and two grandsons. He had to find an opportunity to talk to Albert in private. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
With chopsticks, Jerome picked up shrimps and put them into the bowls of Brain and Bruce.
"Brain, Bruce, eat more."
"Thank you, Uncle Jerome."
"Thank you, Uncle Jerome."
The two kids looked up at Jerome gratefully. The two kids silently ate the shrimp. Teresa felt sorry for her children, so she also picked up some food for them with chopsticks.
"Jerome, You should pay attention to the table manner. Don't pick up food for others with your own chopsticks. In front of outsiders, they would thought our Gu Family has no rules."
Glancing at his mother, Jerome knew that he could not refute, because she was his mother. Harris's face darkened again. He put the chopsticks on the table heavily.
