Chapter 453
Owen who had been standing by Eve's side for a while asked, "Why did you ask that?"
Eve's eyes narrowed. "Tell me, who is responsible for parenting the children?"
"Mainly is by Nora." Owen paused for a moment. A hint of tenderness flashed across his eyes when he talked,
"I'm usually busy with work, so I couldn't spend much tat home. Thinking of it, Nora really takes good care of
the children and had a hard time."
"Having a hard time? Humph! How dare you say that?" Eve said with a cold face.
"Mom, what did you mean by that?" Owen's tone was so bland.
What Eve said later was like the end of the world for a family. "Owen, did you not hear what Ashley scoldat
the staircase today? The way a kid talks is from the parenting."
"Can | assthat Nora talked bad aboutin front of the kids so Ashley suddenly felt disgusted with me?"
Owen said calmly, "Mom, you overthink. Nora always respect you in her heart. Everyone can see the way
she treats you for the past few years."
"However, do you know that Ashley just hid her hand from me! You always know that she is very obedient in
front of me. When | almost touched her face today, she just dodged away..." Eva almost choked with emotion
when she talked.
"Mom." Owen took a step forward and advised, "The doctor said that you can't be emotional because it's not
good for your health. Please don't cry. | will talk with Ashley later."
Eve said in a self-righteous manner, "No! It's not Ashley's fault. It's Nora's fault! She must have said something
bad aboutin front of Ashley. That's why Ashley said she hatedwithout any reason!" Owen's calm voice
finally stirred. "Mom! Ashley said this because you kicked the dog. This puppy was picked up by Ashley when she
lived at the Land of Fragrance."
"If it wasn't for Nora's allergic to animal fur, Ashley would have bought the puppy hlong ago and raised it.
She had a deep affection for the dog. That's the reason she couldn't control her emotions and offended you when
she saw the puppy getting injured."
Eve retorted proudly, "Impossible! Isn't it just a dog?
Can it be more important than me?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOwen frowned and put on an expression, "Mom, Nora behaves well in all respects. It's impossible for her to do
something like what you assumed just now."
"If my promises still make you suspicious, then | will promise you that in the future, I'll pay more attention to the
children's parenting problems and pay close attention to Nora's private interactions with the children. I'll see if
she's talking bad about you behind my back. Mom, what do you think?"
How could Eve not be satisfied with Owen's way of doing things by her ways?
She glanced at Owen's limp foot with a slight pity. She thought in her heart, "If Owen's foot is normal, then he
must be the most perfect one in the world."
Noticing Eve's narrowed eyebrows, a sense of helplessness rose up in Owen's heart. However, he asked
respectfully, "There are other guests downstairs. Shouldn't we go downstairs?"
Eve held her forehead and said with a dispirited expression, "I don't want to go downstairs, I'm tired."
Owen glanced at her. "But... this doesn't seem to be in line with the family's rules."
Eve raised her voice slightly and said irritably, "Today is only the first visit from the relatives. In the following
days, | have to entertain more guests myself. | need to have proper rest first or | may have
a headache tomorrow."
"If that's the case, then please rest early." Owen responded and his slender figure quickly disappeared from the
bedroom.
Two seconds later, Eve muttered to herself in the bedroom, "Andrew and Ashley are both from the Hopper
Family, so they must be well taught. | have to find a htutor for them as soon as possible to let them learn
good manners!"
Downstairs.
After persuading the two children to eat, Amelia consoled Nora with a few words. Then she went to the kitchen to
fill a glass of water to quench her thirst. She planned to return to the living room to watch the Christmas Gala.
As soon as she cto the living room, she saw Leah was pushed by Hayden and fell on the carpet. In the eyes
of everyone, he began to sob.
"Hayden, you are so annoying! I didn't do anything to you yet you pushed me!"
Hayden was already in bad mood because he could not participate in the competition. Coincidentally, he was
entangled by Leah. So he blurted out, "Sister Leah, do you want to get attention from Patrick with your slutty
behavior? Dream on!"
After that, he did not bother the glares from Leah's parents and he left angrily.
Patrick witnessed the conflict between Leah and Hayden. He even saw the scene where Hayden got very angry.
Amelia who was smart understood the situation immediately. She knew what Leah did was just to let Patrick look
down on her more.

However, Leah's mother could not bear to let this happen. "It's just that this way... wouldn't it be too much of a
grievance for our Leah?"
Leah's grandmother smiled like an experienced person, "For Dollar Family's prosperity, it's necessary to sacrifice
one's happiness. Don't worry, we all will remember Leah's contribution."

Then, Leah saw Amelia who was standing at the staircase looking at her. She grinned and smiled.
After Amelia met with Leah's eyes, she mouthed two words, "It's done!"
The smile on Leah's face beceven wider. Her expression made all the men from The Hopper Family shivered
all over, thinking that Leah was going to disturb them again!
