Chapter: 515: Mother-in-Law Comes Again
Annie arched in his arms like a piglet as she was exhausted, spreading her limbs like an octopus on his chest and blowing a few times of raspberries, then her eyes rolled a few times.
“Dad, will Jiangcheng’s grandma cause trouble coming to Luo City?”
“What trouble?” Alan’s smile stiffened a bit. He knew what the little thing was worrying about.
“For example, wanting to break you and mommy apart, provoking Luo City’s grandpa and grandma, destroying Uncle Aoba and Chloe Mommy’s lovely relationship, and so on, so on… And, stealing my little brother. Then, I can’t be close with my little brother anymore. I don’t want that.” At the end, the little girl’s mouth pouted so sharp, hugging Alan’s neck while swaying around.
Alan patted his daughter’s back to soothe her. “Silly. There’s no way. You’re his sister. This is a fact that can never be changed.”
“Of course. I’m his sister and I’ll protect my little brother. I’ll teach him Kung Fu,” said Annie, moving around on Alan’s stomach.
Alan held her waist and laughed, “How do you know he’s a little brother? Maybe she’s a little sister?”
It wasn’t important whether the baby was boy or girl. What mattered was both mother and child were safe.
“Mom says so.” Annie rolled down from Alan’s body and climbed to Olive, gently resting her head on her belly. “Yeah, mommy, maybe it’s a little sister who comes out of your belly.”
Olive gently stroked the other side of her belly, playfully blinking with a mysterious smile on, “Because mother and son are connected.”
Alan was afraid that she would be under pressure because of his mother, so he hugged both mother and daughter in his arms. “It doesn’t whether it’s girl or boy. I just want you to be safe.”
There was a famous saying, ‘As long as you’re healthy, my day is filled with sunlight.’
Olive smiled, stroking Annie’s head with one hand and her belly with the other. “Of course I’ll be safe and sound. I still want to see my Annie and Little Hoyle growing up. I still want to see Annie and Little Hoyle get married, then we became old, grey hair couple.”
The suffering days had passed, how could she pass the road to happiness?
She felt that he was getting fonder of thinking nonsense and becoming less as a big company boss with calm temperament. The man who was calm and wasn’t easy to be frightened was caught off guard by this sudden arrival child.
What a cute man.
Annie got up and hunched like an old person, “Mom, dad, like this?”
Alan laughed and hit her little butt, “Brat.”
Annie jumped and plunged into her daddy’s arms, “I’m not a brat, but a princess.”
Olive watched both father and daughter making a fuss again. Her eyes filled with happiness.
When everyone thought that it would be a while before Mrs. Hoyle arrived in Luo City, on the next day, Chloe who got up late heard a knock on the door and went to open it, instantly seeing the face that she didn’t want to see.
At that time, both Olive and Alan weren’t at home and Annie had went to kindergarten.
Chloe blocked the passage without thinking. Her face was dark. “What are you doing here, old witch?”
Mrs. Hoyle had initially prepared some good speech, but when she heard her, her expression changed. “Is this how you should act towards an elder?”
She was still Aoba’s mother. Not only did this woman have no respect, her mouth was rude.
Chloe sneered sarcastically, “I’ve no choice. Some people are disrespectful with the elders. I’m a person who speaks nice to who is nice to me, bad to who is bad to me.”
“You…” Mrs. Hoyle’s face turned red.
Just when she couldn’t help to explode, Mrs. Steele heard the noise and saw the face of the visitor. She was stunned for a moment, then pretending to chide, “Chloe, watch your mouth. She’s a guest. Please, come in, Mrs. Hoyle.”
Her words were polite and distant.
It wasn’t that she didn’t dare to, but because Mrs. Hoyle wouldn’t like it. There was no need for her to do that.
Chloe reluctantly gave her space.
“Go and make tea for Mrs. Hoyle,” Mrs. Steele ordered again and politely asked Mrs. Hoyle to sit down.
Chloe wasn’t thrilled, but she couldn’t catch Mrs. Steele’s gaze. She dragged herself to make tea and heavily put in on the coffee table in front of Mrs. Hoyle, spilling a little.
“Be careful not to burn your tongue.”
Mrs. Hoyle got angry and she was about to explode. Then, Mrs. Steele lightly asked, “You’ve come without notice. I wonder if Mrs. Hoyle has any business.”
Mrs. Hoyle snorted, “Your daughter is pregnant. She couldn’t have not told you yet, right?”
Mrs. Steele smiled a little, “This is a happy news for the Steele. There’s no way she’ll hide it. If the Hoyle doesn’t want this child, us Steele won’t abandon him.”
Mrs. Hoyle wasn’t happy when she heard this, “What? She’s pregnant with my Hoyle’s blood.”
“Oh? You’re not in good terms with your soon, then you remember it’s Hoyle’s,” Chloe snickered and deliberately dragged her tone. She made her voice weird, “However, our Olive can’t climb up to you Hoyles, so forget it. Mrs. Hoyle, we don’t dare to taint your glorious family to accept our Olive and bother you to acknowledge the relatives. Our unborn baby can’t bear the kind of grace you give too.”
It wasn’t that her mouth was poisonous, but it was just that every time she saw the old woman, she couldn’t help but threw some words to make herself happy.
Mrs. Hoyle’s expression changed drastically and she snapped, “No one will treat you as a mute if you don’t speak.”
Chloe sat on the sofa across here with crossed arms. Her expression was a little arrogant, “What a joke. Do I have to get your permission when I’m talking in my own house?”
“Your house?” Mrs. Hoyle scowled. “I think you’ve made a mistake. This is the Steele’s house, not Malan’s.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Mrs. Steele’s voice went slightly cold, “Mrs. Hoyle, you’re wrong. Although Chloe’s last name isn’t Steele, we treat her as our own daughter. Just like Olive. There’s no difference.”
She actually wanted to say what Chloe had said. But as a mother and for the sake of her daughter’s long-term consideration, she had to hold back. If it wasn’t for her thinking of Alan, she would also like to close the door for this uninvited woman.
Mrs. Steele’s words undoubtedly made Chloe raise her head higher. She was even proud a little. There was no chance for her to attack her. Huh!
Mrs. Hoyle wasn’t a fool. She could see that this pair was in tune. She was too lazy to beat around the bush too. “It’s none of my business. I came to tell you guys that the baby in Olive Steele’s belly will be a Hoyle.”
Chloe sneered disdainfully, “Mrs. Hoyle, you seem to have forgotten that that day you’ve declared determinedly that Olive and her children will never be a Hoyle. I have no idea what right do you have today to claim the baby.”
