Chapter 9 Today was unexpected.
Winnie offered her advice, seemingly taking a step back, but in reality, her words were full of instigation With subtle skill, she brought up the fact that Bert had been out of
the country for a year!
“never thought that an unmarried woman from the Lane Family would understand the emotional damage caused by arguments between couples better than a third
sister–in–law who’s been married for years. I’ve truly leamed something today!” Laura said as she found a chair and sat down.
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Wendy, who was known for her lack of sophistication and quick temper, grabbed the cup in her hand and threw it at Laura
The frutta, sticky with rock sugar, instantly covered Laura’s face, neck, and chest.
“Wendy, you’ve gone too far!” The second sister–in–law stood up and shielded Laura. “I’ll take you back to your courtyard so you can change your clothes.
No one noticed that the little girl in the padded jacket had already slipped out of the room and ran towards the Listening Rain Pavilion where the male guests were
Laura sot blankly on the chair, then abruptly stood up, quickly grabbed Wendy by the collar, and poured the entire pot of flower tea over her head. After emptying the pot of
the scalding tea, Laura finally let go.
“You all think you’re so smart, but you’re being used as pawns by a Miller Family gid in her early twenties? Do you really think I’m desperate to stay in the Higgins Family?
Do you think I want to put up with this kind of treatment?
The teapot was smashed on the ground.
Several timid people screamed in fright.
Bertrived at the door just in time to hear Laura’s outburst
During the year he was away, he thought Laura was doing well in the Higgins Family, but he never imagined she was being ostracized by his family
“Uncle…” Nora, who had just gone to report the incident, tugged at the man’s sleeve. “You should go check on Auntie. I’ve never seen her ko anon
The second sister in law handed Laura tissues to wipe off the water, becoming increasingly alarmed as she did so.
Once the foundation on her neck was removed, it revealed a muude of hickeys…
“Did the sixth brother take care of y
1 year’s worth of bedroom business on the night of his return?”
Lauri, noticing her second saterin–law’s strange expression, suddenly remembered the marks on her own neck. She had just said she didn’t care about the Higgins Family,
but what were these obvious love bites all about?
The door was used open, and Bert stood there, his gaze sweeping coldly over everyone in the room.
The Suc today was an accident. The eldest sister–in–law, who had been watching the drama without saying a word, looked at Bert with a pale face.
All the novels are free!
“Hal” Bert took off his coat and draped it over Laura’s shoulders. “It was indeed a surprise to me!”
Winnie’s face was the worst. Hadn’t Bert seen her just now?
How could this be? He had sent her so many gifts back then, different gifts every month for over two years. How could he not recognize her?
The woman’s fingers gripped the table tightly, feeling confused.
Then, thinking about the marks on Laura’s neck, it was Laura! It was all Laura’s fault. She must have seduced Bert, which was why he was so distant with her today!
Laura walked quickly, her head down, afraid of being seen, and mainly to hide the marks on her neck
Bert followed behind, wanting to talk to her several times. The autumn weather was already cold, but he didn’t feel cold despite giving his coat to Laura:
When they reached the master bedroom of their courtyard, the man finally asked, “How could you not tell me they treated you like that this past year?”
“What good would it do to tell you? You’re abroad. Are you going to fly back just to stop them?”
Bent realized he finally understood why Laura had been so unwilling to renew their marriage contract, despite all his persuasion from yesterday until today.
“So, you don’t want to continue this marriage because you and my sister–in–law don’t get along?!
