Chapter 220 Pregnant
Elodia paused. Cressida’s tone made her uncomfortable, but she couldn’t say anything.
It was only right for her to pour a cup of tea for her mother–in–law, but Cressida spoke to her in such a
tone as if she didn’t want to do her duty and refused to pour tea for her mother–in–law.
Moreover, who was Cressida to order her around?
What status did Cressida have to chastise her?
Elodia lowered her eyes, then she lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Kim.
Kim was looking grim. She picked up the teacup and took a sip. However, when she drank it, she
realized that the tea was boiling hot.
Kim threw the teacup on the floor. The hot tea splashed all over the table while the teacup shattered into

Elodia felt a sharp pain on her face. She touched it with her hand, after which it was stained with blood.
Her face was hurt.
“Elodia, is that how you serve tea? It was boiling hot. Couldn’t you have told Aunt Kim that the tea was
hot? Did you do it on purpose?”
Cressida frowned, her expression full of suspicion.
“Aunt Kim, don’t be angry. Dad, Mom, and I are fine.”
As Cressida spoke, she poured half a cup of tea for Kim, thereafter she poured some cold water from
another pot into the teacup.
“Aunt, drink some tea to calm down.”
Cressida’s mother said, “Kim, have a sip. Look, the temperature of the tea Cressida poured for you is just
right, unlike some people who can’t even do something as simple as pouring tea properly.”
Kim’s attitude toward Elodia told the Langley family of her status in the family, so they reprimanded
Elodia without holding back.
Elodia ignored the wounds on her face and cleaned up the mess on the table. Her eyes were reddened,
but she did not let her tears fall.
After she cleaned up the table, she turned around and hurried to the bathroom.
Elodia was afraid that if she walked any slower, her tears would fall.
She could vaguely hear the Langey family talking about her as she walked away.
Gary was right beside her, but he didn’t defend her from the beginning to the end.
Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, Elodia looked at the tearful woman in the mirror.
The wound on her left cheek was not big, but it burned when her tears touched it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt seemed that ever since she married into the Lockwood family, she had never even cried secretly.
However, today, she realized that she had grievances. The sorrow and pain that she had suppressed in
her heart surged out of her eyes like a flood.
It was surging uncontrollably.
After about five minutes, she suddenly stopped crying because she remembered that her eyes would
swell if she continued crying.
If someone found out that she cried, she would not be able to explain herself.
Ail her sorrow seemed to have been instantly put into a small box in her heart. She then quickly locked
the
box.
Then, she washed her face to get rid of the traces of her tears.
She looked up at herself in the mirror. She had recomposed herself and was calm and nonchalant.
However, her red eyes still exposed the fact that she had cried.
