Chapter 602 Crying and Fussing
Emelie asked, “Did you just say an old acquaintance of mine? If an old acquaintance wants to see me, they should be going to the cemetery instead.”
Only a handful of people knew that she was still alive.
Wesley asked, “Is it a man or a won in?”
“A young man, and he also said something else.”
The butter paused before replying, “He said that Ms. Hoven has deceived him and that she needs to take responsibility.”
Emelie was so shocked that she couldn’t speak.
For a moment, the garden was so quiet that only the sound of the summer breeze rustling the flowers could be heard. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.
A few secondster, Wesley put down his tablet. He smiled faintly as he said, “Oh? How interesting. Invite him in. I’d like to meet him too
Emelie thought that it was a prank. However, when the butler brought the person in, she stood up in surprise.
It was him!
Ballz was sunny.
On the other hand, Capebatt City had a change in weather.
When Elies left in the moming, the sky was clear. However, by the time he arrived at the Undvike residence at noon, dark clouds had covered the sun, and it looked like it might rain.
He checked his watch. It was now 11 o’clock.
After listening to his mother nag for half an hour, he would go and deliver lunch to Ashley. Then, he would wait at thew firm for her to finish work so that he could drive her home. He didn’t trust her to drive in the rain.
That was right.
He didn’t n on eating at the Undvike residence. He knew that his mother didn’t call him to return just to have a meal. After all, she constantly nagged him about the same things..
“Mont”
Elias‘ mother, Maya Gonzales, was sitting on <b>the </b>couch. She immediately turned her head when she heard him and then looked behind him
Elias said, “You can stop looking. It’s just me.”
Maya instantly got angry. “Didn’t I ask you to bring Ashley back for dinner<b>?</b>”
“She has work at thew firm today.”
“She’s five months pregnant. Why is she still going to thew firm? Staying home and taking care of the baby should be her priority!”
Elias sat on the couch and grabbed a few peanuts before cracking them open and tossing them into his mouth. He saidzily, “She’s only five months pregnant. Why can’t she go to thew firm? What about those female employees who work until their due date?”
Maya said, “That’s different. She’s carrying the child of the Undvike family and the Thornton family! That child will be worth billions once they’re b
<b>born</b>!”
Eliasughed. “What kind of logic is that? The money is Ashley’s. If she wants to give it to the child, she can. If she doesn’t, the child isn’t <b>automatically </b>entitled to inherit her wealth. Don’t talo things for granted.”
Maya’s expression changed. “What do you <b>mean </b>by that? Didn’t you sign a prenuptial agreement? Didn’t you both agree that her inheritance would go to the child <b>after </b>they’re born?”
A look of impatience shed across Elias‘ face. He knew that his mother was only interested in the inheritance.
He threw another peanut into his mouth, then looked up and said,
“No.”
Maya was furious, and she raised her hand <b>to </b>p him. Elias didn’t dodge and merely looked at her indifferently.
However, before her hand reached his face, she stopped as she couldn’t bring herself to hit him. Instead, she pped his shoulder and started <b>crying </b>while hitting his back.
“You ungrateful child! If it weren’t for Ashley’s inheritance, I wouldn’t have allowed you to marry her! You know how difficult things are for me in this family! That wretched Sadie is pregnant again. She’s pregnant again!”
“She keeps having one child after <b>another</b>. If this keeps up, there won’t be any ce for either of us in this family! Do you think I’m just thinking about myself? I’m thinking about you too!”
Elias didn’t react to his mother’s crying or hitting. He continued eating the peanuts indifferently. This happened every month, and he was used to it.
