A Crazy Wife

Chapter 33 We ought to make progress together

In front of the Joseph family’s gate park four military jeeps in one line and in the middle of them is one

black car. The rearview mirrors of the vehicles are at an extremely neat angle.

Two groups of soldiers stand at the gate of the Joseph's house as if they are sculptures in the wind,

leaving an aisle in the middle. A group of soldiers walk into the yard of the Joseph's house with gift

boxes and fill the corridor at the gate with boxes soon.

Hannah Joseph runs out of the Joseph's house to see Chester Shahbaz getting off the car with the

help of the servants. She gets very happy and calms down immediately.

With the powerful backer, Hannah Joseph waits to see how the Joseph family will bully her.

"Master, madam, who are they..."

The servants get flustered.

Chester Shahbaz has never been to the Joseph’s house. It's not surprising that the servants of the

Joseph family don't know him. After all, even Hannah Joseph’s father and stepmother are shocked.

"You are welcome to my house, Chester." Frank Joseph finally comes to himself, walks quickly to the

door and says with a smile, "it's the first time you've come to the house since you got married."

Chester Shahbaz sits in a wheelchair. Even if he is disabled, he is still in a majestic manner. He raises

his eyes slightly and looks at Frank Joseph, "I’m sorry to have come to the house without letting you

know in advance.”

"It doesn’t matter. We are a family. Nothing matters..." Frank Joseph is a little cramped. He takes a look

at his daughter Hannah Joseph constantly. "Hannah, why didn’t you tell me Chester would come back

with you?”

At this time, Hannah Joseph is being blocked in the yard by all the people, because she has something

taken from the sundry room in her arms. Before she goes out of the door, several servants surround

her and stops her from leaving.

She gives Frank Joseph a cold glance and says impolitely, "You have no one to ask me. I am scolded

by you as soon as I come back."

Frank Joseph's face gets very embarrassed immediately.

Linda is clever. She quickly interrupts Hannah Joseph's words, walks down the steps towards Chester

Shahbaz and says indifferently, "It's just a quarrel between the two sisters. It is not a blame. Sir, let the

servants welcome Chester Shahbaz. It's the first time for him to come to the house."

Frank Joseph settles down. He is about to give a sign to the servant when there is a cold voice on his

side, "No need."

Chester Shahbaz raises his head, narrows his eyes slightly and looks at Hannah Joseph, who is

blocked in the corner by the servants, "Hannah, come here."

The yard is soon quiet.

The whole Joseph family are stunned.

In fact, the whole Joseph's family know that since Hannah Joseph married to the Shahbaz family, she

has been a decoration and has not been favored. After three years in prison, she exists like a stain, so

everyone thinks it is the end of her life. But now judging from Chester Shahbaz's attitude towards her,

things seems to be different.

Although she doesn’t know what is Chester Shahbaz’s idea, she chooses to give herself an out.

Hannah Joseph immediately squints at several servants standing in her way.

Before Hannah Joseph speaks, the servants make way for her and watch her walk behind Chester

Shahbaz and push the wheelchair into the Joseph's gate.

No one notices that when Hannah Joseph pushes Chester Shahbaz into the door, she lowers her head Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

and asks him, "Didn’t you say you would not come?"

Chester Shahbaz looks as usual and says simply, "you are right. We are a couple after all. We should

make progress together."

A tone is emphasized on "make progress together". Hannah Joseph's heart quivers when she hears

those words. There is always a sense of uneasiness in her heart.

Chester Shahbaz follows her to come definitely not to support her.

When they enter the room, their whisper to each other is seen by Linda. She admires them and smiles

unnaturally, "It's said that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Chester hasn't seen Hannah for three

years. Instead, you are more intimate than when you got married three years ago."

Those words have some ironic meaning. They are reminding everyone of Hannah Joseph's three years

in prison.

Chester Shahbaz glances at Linda, with his eyes cold, without even a perfunctory response.

Hannah Joseph is dissatisfied with Chester Shahbaz, who doesn't even take a cosmetic measure. She

doesn’t think he is supporting her and making progress together with her. She is even afraid he will

counteract her efforts.

Thinking of this, she pushes the wheelchair and says proactively, "Linda, you are talking everything,

useful or useless. Why not have someone serve a cup of tea? Do you treat Chester Shahbaz in this

way? He doesn’t have a cup of tea.”

Linda's face changes soon. Frank Joseph rolls his eyes at her.

The servant soon comes to serve tea.

Frank Joseph is very attentive to talk with Chester Shahbaz. Hannah Joseph stands by and looks on

coldly. She feels very embarrassed. Chester Shahbaz obviously neglects the Joseph family. He has

drunk two cups of tea but has not said any words.

After a while, the servant comes to report that Lisa Joseph has got Morgen Brown back.

They enter the door one by one. Morgen Brown walks in front and looks unhappy. Lisa Joseph follows

him submissively. Both of them are looking at the scene inside and outside the yard.

"Mom, how can there be so many people outside the yard..."

Lisa Joseph's voice stops abruptly when she sees Chester Shahbaz and Hannah Joseph in the living

room.

"Behave yourself! Don’t make noise!" Frank Joseph glares at her. "It's time for lunch. What are you

doing out? You have made the guests wait here."

In Hannah Joseph’s memory, Frank Joseph had never scolded his stepdaughter Lisa Joseph.

Surprised at it, Hannah Joseph enjoys seeing it.

"Come here quickly to meet your brother-in-law."

Lisa Joseph is stupefied and hesitates to walk towards Chester Shahbaz. After staring at Chester

Shahbaz for a while, she blushes inexplicably, lowers her head and says in a low voice, "Hello."

Chester Shahbaz replies in a light voice and fixes his eyes on Morgen Brown, who is behind Lisa

Joseph.

Frank Joseph says, "This is Lisa Joseph's fiancé, Morgen Brown. Morgen, you can call him brother-in-

law."

Morgen Brown shivers inexplicably when he contacts Chester Shahbaz's eyes. He nods his head as

greeting, then subconsciously walks to Lisa Joseph and asks in a lowered voice, "Didn't you say that

Hannah Joseph who is undervalued after marriage has no one to accompany her back home?”

Hearing no response for a long time, Morgen Brown looks at his side doubtfully. Then his face looks

gloomy.

Now Lisa Joseph's eyes are fixed on Chester Shahbaz. Morgen Brown has seen her shy and timid

eyes for more than once. He can guess clearly what she is thinking about in her mind.

Thinking of this, he can’t help looking at Hannah Joseph, with his eyes full of remorse.

Frank Joseph still talks to Chester Shahbaz incessantly. Linda interrupts them from time to time.

Obviously, they are kissing his ass. In Hannah Joseph's eyes, it is an ugly behavior. No wonder they

could even do such things as “selling their daughter”.

Hannah Joseph looks up bored and bumps into Morgen Brown's eyes. Seeing him pretend to look

regretful, she feels disgusted for the moment.
