NovelEnglishIt seemed that the older generation were truly obsessed with babies. Back then, when they found out Moore was pregnant, Madam Young was just as persistent. Now, it was Alice's turn, and it was the samount of determination. I wonder how certain she was about the child in Alice's belly being Idris'.
She had said all she needed to say, so I had no reason to stay any longer. Besides, Gregory had just toldthat Lucas was not dead. If I did not show up in front of him soon, he might go crazy and take action against Idris.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWithout saying another word to Madam Young, I got up, went to the bedroom on the second floor, and fetched the pearl I had gotten from the auction. I cback downstairs and said to Madam Young, "I won't disturb you any longer." She had a smile on her face, looking gentle and benevolent. However, the more she acted this way, the more ironic it felt. People in this world were always so hypocritical. Even when she was trying to drive someone away, she was doing it hypocritically.
As I reached the door and was about to enter the passcode, the door suddenly swung open from the outside.
I was surprised to see Idris rushing in. According to the usual routine, he should not be in such a hurry to return. After all, knowing that Lucas was still alive, he would surely not sit idly by.
"Are you going out?" he asked when he sawholding something and wearing my shoes.
I nodded without saying a word.
A voice cfrom the living room, "Iddy, you're back?" It was Madam Young's voice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIdris heard the voice, paused for a moment, and then looked atbefore turning toward the living room. He was surprised to see Madam Young and asked, "Grandma, why are you here?" Seeing Idris holding my hand, Madam Young did not show any emotion as she furrowed her brows slightly. She did not rush to speak and motioned for him to sit down first. Idris pursed his lips, still holding my hand, and sat down next to her. It was clear that he had no intention of hiding anything.
He even wanted to get closer toon purpose.
Madam Young noticed all of this.
After sitting down, I wanted to pull my hand away from Idris's grip, but he held onto it tightly, not givinga chance to resist. He looked at Madam Young and repeated his earlier question, "Grandma, why are you here?" Seeing him holding ontotightly, Madam Young furrowed her brows and said, "You haven't been back to the old mansion these past few days, and when I called you, you said you were busy. I missed you, so I cto see you." Idris spoke almost immediately. "I just renovated this house not long ago, and I haven't told anyone that I'm staying here. Grandma, do you have clairvoyant powers now?" The way this young man was talking to someone older was clearly disrespectful.
Madam Young's face darkened as she looked at him and said, "Iddy, what kind of talk is this? Am I not allowed to cto see you now?" Idris pursed his lips and said, "Grandma, are you sure you cto see me?" Even I could sense that Idris's emotions were off at this moment. He was always respectful of his elders and would not speak to them like this, even when he was angry. But just now, over just a few sentences, he sounded impatient and accusatory.
This was not like him! Madam Young also froze, apparently not expecting such a strong reaction from Idris. She looked at him and said, "Iddy, what do you mean by that? Do you think Grandma is meddling in everything and interfering with you?" Idris frowned, "Grandma, do you think I should blindly obey everything you say?" He glanced at the invitation card on the table. Then, ke suddenly reached out to pick and looked at Madam You е saying, "Why didn't I know about this wedding? Grandma, are you planning to tieup and takethere on the wedding day?" Madam Young was somewhat bewildered, not because of the invitation but because of Idris's reaction. She looked at him, and her expression did not look good as she said, I'm doing all of this for your own good, Iddy. Are you blaming Grandma now?" The atmosphere in the room bectense, and it was hard to breathe for a moment. Seeing the situation, Mr. Zachary looked at Idris and said, "Mr. Idris, Madam Young is just concerned about you." Madam Young looked deeply hurt, and her aging eyes turned red. She looked at him and said, "Iddy, what's gotten into you? You're not usually like this. Grandma knows that arranging your life this way isn't ideal, but what about Alice? She's already carrying your child in her betty, and you have to take responsibility. Moreover, you've seen what your father brought back. Chandler entrusted his wife and child to your father, and now that your father is gone, we can't just leave others behind. You can't forgo your responsibilities like this!"
