Chapter 13 You’re really easy.
Wendy looked at Barry in shock, her expression filled with hurt and sadness
Laura felt that his words were too harsh.
She knew that Wendy wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, otherwise she wouldn’t have thrown water in her face today. But Third Young Master Higgins‘ threat was
excessive, and it wasn’t just directed at Wendy, it was aimed at her as well.
Laur inexplicably felt sympathy for Wendy, it was bad enough that she was being used as a pawn by her own sister, but her husband wasn’t any better. No wonder she
often sounded shrill and acted like a shrew she was being driven to it.
“I had a man like that, I’d divorce him immediately” Laura said astonishingly. 1 definitely wouldn’t keep him around for the holidays.”
The other those people present were stunned. Bert felt he couldn’t hold back his throbbing temples
She was saying she wanted to divorce him and wanted his sister in law to divorce his brother too….
“Third Brother, it’s your business if you want to divorce Third Sister, but don’t put that pressure on my wife,” Bent said, shamelessly taking her side.
Laura would have burst out laughing if she hadn’t been holding back.
Bert’s actions today actually made him seem like a man
“Honey, you know that’s not what I meant,” Barry explained.
“Yes, it is,” Laura said flatly, then added, I’ve been watching all the things that go on in your Higgins Family this past year. It’s my upbringing to see through things but not
say anything but I’m not stupid. Is Third Sister the only one to blame for how she is today?”
Laura then looked at Bert. “Speaking of apologies, I never rally took the things the wives said to me every day to her
ecause they were true, weren’t they?
“And Winnie, if you hadn’t given her hope, how would she have thought he would divorce is and that she had a chance in move up? How would Thind Sister have aanged
those opportunities for her to be with you?”
It was true that she wanted a divorce, but she wouldn’t tolerate this ball on her backside any longer.
Even if she gets divorced Winnie won’t get her claws into him!
“When did I ever give her hope? I don’t even know her Bert felt wronged.
Barry seized the opportunity, “How can you say you don’t know her? Three years ago, when Grandma pasted away, the left you a lot of old jewelry. You had your third
sister–in–law give all to Winnie. If it weren’t for that, would your third sister–in–law have misunderstood that you were interested in her sister?”
Berthought hard for a while before recalling the incident. “How would I know who she was? All the wives and nieces were there. I had no use for women’s trinkets, so
Just pointed at someone randomly.”
ja found it amusing “You really are casual”
All the novels are free!
Bert knew she was mocking him, but it was too late to take it back. “Well, should hak for those things back for you?
Wendy looked a little upset. She couldn’t bring herself to ask….
But Barry spoke up. “In my opinion, the things aren’t important, but you need to make things clear with her.
Then, as if remembering something else. “Wendy, you too. Stop letting your sister come around. Everyone knows that is manied now, and she’s still trying to get close.
What kind of person does that make her?”
Laura thought that the men and women of the Higgins family were all curning.
During the year that Bert was
was away, no one mentioned any problems with Winnie. Now they were bringing it up, even in front of Bert and her
She sat at the table, watching their drama like it was a show.
Bert saw what she meant and brought a fruit platter and snacks from the living room, placing them on the table next to her so she could enjoy the show.
the end, Barry and Wendy even brought up old stories about how they got married.
Laura picked up an apple, crunching on it as she listened to them argue, thinking. “Where are the groundnuts? This rich family drama is something you can’t usually see
without paying for it..”
After they finished eating the apple, the two were still arguing when Laura yawned
Bert, seeing that it was enough, helped to wrap things up, “Alright, why don’t you two go back to your own yard to argue?”
Barry frowned, finally realizing how inappropriate they were being. “Hurry up and leave, embarrassing yourselves here for so long”
Wendy, sitting on the ground, burst into tears. “Barry, let’s get a divorce! If you think I’m so awful, why bother living with me in disgust
The room fell silent instantly.
Laura’s sleepiness vanished; she had only made a joke, not really intending to suggest a divorce.
She looked at Bert, who shook his head, signaling that they wouldn’t divorce. Then, he stood up, took hic hand, and headed toward the imer courtyard
“Are we just going to leave them there?” Laura asked.
“My third brother is a proud man. With others around, he definitely won’t swallow his pride to comfort her. You’ll see at dinner, they both act like nothing happened.”
As they spoke, they reached the bedroom in the inner courtyard.
Laura shook her head, unable to understand.
“Go to Old Master Higgins and tell him we’re getting a divorce, so don’t have to stay here tonight, Laura urged him.
Bert frowned. Wimie’s mat has been explained clearly, why do you still want a divorce?”
Laura med faintly at the man, “You brought it up, a divorce after a year, have you forgotten?”
All the novels are finel
“Didn’t we say we weren’t getting divorced?”
“Are you going or not? you’re not going. I will,” Laura said, staring to head out.
Bert stopped her. “Till go!”
Laura was still confused when someone came to the yard. Nore was hanging on the wooden door. “Auntie, Antis, come out quickly! Grandpy has made Uncle kneel in the
ancestral hall”
Laura turned over in bed, wondering what Uncle being punished had to do with her…
Then she suddenly woke up
Uncle? Den?
She quickly got dressed and opened the door. Nors stood there andously “Auntie, Grandpa beat Uncle, and now he’s kneeling in the ancestral hall…
Laura guessed it must be because he had mentioned the divorce, so Old Master Higgins was disciplining him
