NovelEnglishChapter 812 Vera Is Mad
Garrett could tell that Laney was not as jolly as she used to be. He had been learning a lot ever since Laney got pregnant.
Apparently, many women often felt depressed during pregnancy. At the thought of this, Garret beceven more concerned
about his wife.
"If something's bothering you—"
Before he could finish his words, his phone on the table vibrated.
Laney glanced at the phone screen and handed it to Garrett. "Your mom's calling. You should answer it. She might have
something important to tell you."
Garret stroked Laney's hair and did as told.
"Garrett, where are you? Go back to the company for the meeting now. Stop wasting your ton useless things,’ Vera calmly
said, though her words meant otherwise.
"I'm doing the most important thing in the world now," Garrett replied with a smile.
He then pulled Laney into his arms and kissed her on the cheek.
Laney smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Vera seemed to suddenly fly into a rage. “Fine. Do whatever you want. Who am I to you anyway? I'm just your mother and I don't
think it’s my place to tell you what to do!"
"Is your mom mad?" Laney worriedly asked.
Garrett pushed the plate towards her and assured her, "Don't mind her. Let's continue eating.”
Laney nodded in response. But then, her phone rang this time. The moment she answered the call, Vera's voice cfrom the
other end of the line.
“Hello—"
“Laney, I don't want to be mad at you. You're my son's wife now. But as his wife, you should behave yourself. Let him go to work,
and don't distract him. Our company has a lot of employees, and they have families. They're hoping that Garrett will give them a
job so that they can have money to support their family. Don't be selfish, please.”
Although Vera's voice was low and calm, Laney could feel the anger in Vera's words.
After she hung up the call, Laney nudged Garrett and beckoned to the door, no longer in the mood to eat. “I'm full. You should go
back to the company now.”
“How can you be full after only having a few bites? Besides, it's not every day I get to spend twith you. Don't push away."
Garrett wanted to be with his wife for as long as he could.
Laney sighed. “If you don't go back to the company now, your mother will blme for it."
Vera would never let her off.
Meanwhile, Garrett massaged his temples. His current situation was making his head ache. Of course, he did not want his
mother to make things difficult for his girl. Even so, there was nothing much he could do about it.
It was Laney who often made concessions but always getting the short end of the stick.
Suddenly, his face lit up as an idea occurred to him. He looked at Laney with bright eyes and suggested, "I've got an idea! You
won't have to worry about getting scolded!"
Laney was actually dubious of his idea even after his explanation. But seeing him so confident, she forced a smile and
acquiesced.
At this moment, Garrett patted her on the shoulder and said, "I've already paid the bill. I'll call Kelly to pick you up. Wait for her
here, okay?”
With that, he stood up and left for the company.
Once Garrett was gone, Laney stared at the almost untouched dishes on the table with regret. The food looked scrumptious;
although she had lost her appetite, she didn't want them to go to waste. Because of this, she asked the waiter to pack the food
into containers as takeaways.
A few moments later, Kelly entered the restaurant and happened to see
Laney packing food with a waiter.
She sneered and thought how pathetic Laney was. Even after marrying into a rich family, Laney’s poor habits had not changed
and would never do. ©
Kelly walked over to Laney and slapped the container box from Laney’'s hand.
"Mrs. Harding, don't waste your there. The car is waiting for you outside."
The box fell to the ground, and the spaghetti scattered all over the floor.
Laney looked at the spilled food regretfully but said nothing.
“Let's go. I have to go back to the company to help Mr. Harding later. Please don't waste my time, okay?" Kelly impatiently urged.
Laney had no choice but to let Kelly drive her hto the Harding's family house.
As soon as Laney entered the house, she sensed that something bad was about to happen. Vera, who was supposed to go to a
party with her rich friends, was waiting for her in the living room.
