Chapter 12 Go apologize.
“Smack Old Master Higgins slammed his chopsticks down, scanning everyone at the table. “What’s going on here?”
The old man’s voice was stem and Bertattacked indiscriminately. So, Grandpa doesn’t know how these people trest Laura on a daily basis?“.
Laura tota shiver down her spine. She hadn’t expected Bet to lash out so
ctly, especially at Old Master Higgins, bringing up the attemoons events so openly
Old Master Hingins definitely knew something about her situation in the Higgins Family.
But Lour knew very well that if an elder intervened too much in the affairs of the younger generation, it wou be seen as favoritism. Besides, there were many family
members, each with their own way of surviving. He neither interfered nor helped, simply observing for the past year, occasionally offering her some guidance in private.
However, Laura felt that since her manage with Bert wasn’t real, she wouldn’t have to deal with these Higgins Family women after a year. So, she didn’t take their words to
heart, merely counting down the days until the device
“Are you complainingafût didn’t stand up for Laura? Old Master Higgins said, a hint of a smile in his expression “She’s your wife, Why should be the one to defend her?”
Old Master Higgins was a wise man getting straight to the point
If the atmosphere wasn’t so tense, Laura would have given Old Master Higgins a thumbs upl
Who put the Higgins Family in this situation? Wasn’t it Bet?
What good was it for him to lash out now? He was the one who caused all the trouble!
Bert looked at Laurs, who was leisurely peeling prawns, dipping them in sauce, and then popping them into her mouth as if Bert’s outburst had nothing to do with her.
The mas chuckled, but he also thought it was good that she was so carefree.
“Since that’s how you feel, Dad, Laura and I won’t come back every weekend anymore. We’ll come back once a month, have a meal, and then leave. This was a foolproof
solution
Everyone in the room turned pale.
Old Master Higgins was also choked up. Among his sons, the youngest was the most like him when it came to being a rascal
That’s why, among all his son, he took care of him the most.
But he had finally managed to get him back to the country, and now he was saying he would only come back once a month? What difference was that from not coming
“No way”
Old Master Higgins refused
Laura finished her prawns and then grabbed an oyster him. It was already opened, but she needed to pry it off herself. She accidentally poked it at a slight angle,
All the novels are free!
causing
the juice to squirt out and splash all over Bert’s face as the old man spoke
turned to look at Bert, and seeing his suddenly changed expression, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing at the most inappropriate moment.
Her laughter was so contagious that Old Master Higgins also started chuckling as he looked at his youngest son’s expression.
The butler quickly handed Bert a wet towel to wipe his face. Then, the usually proud man took the towel and looked at Laura, “Happy now?”
Laura stopped laughing and lost her appetite for the oysters, Instead, she squeezed some lemon juice into Bert’s bowl
Bert’s eyebrows twitched. Was she implying
plying that he didn’t perform well last night and needed to make up
un for it?
Could it be that the reason she wanted a divorce wasn’t because the women in the Higgins Family were difficult to get along with, but because he didn’t perform well last
Laura had no idea what he was thinking, but because of her laughter, many people were now looking at them. It was impossible for her to continue eating in prace
However, because of her interruption, Old Master Higgins took over the conversation. “Look, usually your sisters–in–law bully Little Sa’s wife when Little Six isn’t around.
Now that he’s back, it’s time to settle the score. Those who have made mistakes before, go apologize after the meal. If you can’t resolve things, don’t show up at the
dinner table tonight.”
Wendy’s face turned pale, and she didn’t dare to say another word.
After a formal lunch, everyone returned to their respective homes for an afternoon rest.
Wendy was brought over by her third brother–in–law, Barry, to apologize.
Several gifts were laid out on
on the table. Although they weren’t opened the boxes alone suggested they were quite valuable.
“Little Six’s wife, I’m sorry. This one in my family doesn’t have much sense. She gets easily provoked by her sister at home, and her temper flares up. But she really doesn’t
have any bad intentions. Otherwise, the old man definitely wouldn’t have tolerated her in the Higgins Family for so many years. These small gifts are to apologize to you.
What do you say? Can you forgive her? I’ll supervise her from now on. If she shows any more behavior of ostracizing you, I’ll divorce her!”
