Chapter 203
Rosales’ presence at the Calsis’ Residence was already quite an embarrassment to Jimmy, and unexpectedly now,
she was confronting Charlie, whom even Jimmy himself didn’t dare to annoy. Although being the younger brother of
Rose’s father Pat Nandlall, Charlie was the real one to take charge of the Calsis family’s
issues as well as it business, because Pat was from the Nandlall family and the second son of the Calsis family was
absent. Jimmy knew that well.
Yet Rosales was still snarling stubbornly, “Don’t you stop me! I just wonder what Charlie will do with me!
Jimmy is the dear son of our home. Why should he demean himself here?!” Out of her shallow knowledge of
this family, she only regarded Charlie as a minor role and thus didn’t give him sufficient respect. “Very well.”Charlie
laughed, staring at this ignorant and seemingly righteous woman.

magnanimous enough to forgive her…”
“To forgive her?” said Charlie. “I’m so sorry that I happen to be a man who is not magnanimous. Since your mother
says we are not treating her dear son well enough, I suggest you move out now. I am not to see you show up in my
home again.”
“Uncle Charlie,” Rose implored Charlie worriedly, “it isn’t the fault of Jimmy, is it?”
“It’s not his fault?” retorted Charlie, “Then whose fault is it? How could his mother be here without his
instruction? So I don’t carry any weight here in this home? And I’ll have to bear the comments of some stranger
when I’m sitting in my own home?” Charlie then questioned Jimmy as something occurred to him,
“Shouldn’t you in Afreton now, Jimmy? You seem to have forgotten your task there.” Charlie had dispatched
Jimmy to Afreton before, and Jimmy just kept putting it off till Charlie was too busy to remember it. In fact, that
issue had been caused by this very great mother of Jimmy. Yet Rosales was still asking, “What task in Afreton?”
Jimmy darkened his face quietly, and Rose began weeping seeing Charlie acting so formidably.
“Rose! Why are you crying?” Rosales turned to Rose with concern, fearing Rose’s mood would affect her future
grandson.
Although Rose was not fond of Jimmy’s mother either, she had to admit Rosales cared about her very much.
Rose began sobbing, “I really wonder what mistake I’ve made that caused me to be unwelcome in this home, even
when I’m pregnant. If Jimmy is to be driven out of here, I wouldn’t live on!” Her tears successfully obtained the
attention of everyone.
Mrs. Calsis finally suggested, “Charlie, don’t be too mean to Rose. She’s pregnant now.”
Charlie turned to Rose, his mouth twitching, “So your mother-in-law could just act willfully simply because you’re
pregnant?”

“I’m not aiming at you.” Charlie told Rose, “But your people can’t bully mine due to your pregnancy. Jimmy could be
spared this time for your sake, but his mother has to make the apology.”
Jimmy was grateful for Charlie’s change of mind, and urged his mother immediately, “Mom, please make the
apology.”
“Why should I be the one to say sorry?” Rosales protested bitterly, “It’s Theresa who treats me with bad manners.”
She still thought it was Theresa’s fault, insisting that Theresa provoked all the alteration and that she herself only
uttered something insignificant.
At that moment, Theresa only went on with her supper nonchalantly.
Jimmy glared at his mother, “Do I have to remind you this is Calsis’ Residence? Do you really want me and Rose to
be driven out of this house because of you?” Jimmy did find Rosales’ comments about Theresa too unreasonable,
and she even got everyone into trouble by infuriating Charlie.
Casting a look at Rose, whose eyes were still reddening, Rosales turned to her son, who kept motioning at her.
