Chapter 1068 Are You Hungry (Part Four)


    "Hey, don''t drag me into your business. I am quite happy that she is not nagging me for the moment!"


    To be honest, Nathan was still traumatized aboutst night. Her constant badgering about their son


    made his ears hurt! He wondered how a middle-aged woman could be this energetic, talking about the


    same old thing over and over again. He was bored to tears by her nagging. By the end of the day, she


    sounded like a broken record. Nathan shook his head slowly, a bittersweet smile on his face.


    "Dad, how can you ignore my feelings? The moment my brother came home, you started to favor him


    over me. I feel so neglected by you." ire pouted and grabbed her father''s arms. Like a little girl, she


    pulled his sleeves and shook his arms constantly.


    "All right, honey, stop bugging your father now. He needs to attend to some businesster on. He is in a


    hurry. You shouldn''t waste his time and energy like that. And now that you are up, why don''t you join us


    to the dining room for some breakfast? What about your Miss Ye? Has she gotten up yet?" Shannon


    walked up to the foot of the staircase and looked behind ire. She was not sure if her daughter''s


    guest would join them for breakfast.


    "What are you on about? Mom, she is my guest, okay? Why can''t you be nicer to her? She is afraid of


    you already. This is not a nice way to treat my friend!" ire raised her voice and red at her mother


    unpleasantly. She was quite mad at Shannon for her hostile attitude toward Louisa. It seemed to her


    that her mother clearly held something against her friend, since she tried to avoid Louisa on most


    asions.


    "What are you talking about? Did she actually say to you that I have been harsh to her? I know very


    well that she is your guest. That is why I have been polite to her all this time. What is so wrong with my


    attitude?" Shannon said, giving her daughter a stern look. It was true that she didn''t like Louisa at all.


    However, she maintained her cool and amodated her in the house. Shannon treated her in a


    decent manner because she was a smart woman who knew how to deal with ''unwanted guests'' when


    she had to.


    "I am not ming you for your attitude here. I am not even ming you for your coldness toward


    Louisa. As far as I am concerned, she is a sweet girl. I hope you can call her by her first name rather


    than this distant ''Miss Ye''. It makes me so mad," ire snapped at her mother and shook her head in


    disapproval. She couldn''t describe how she felt about it in her heart, but one thing she knew for sure

    was that her mother did not treat Louisa the way she deserved to be treated. In her opinion, her mother


    should wee Louisa with open arms and greet her with big smiles. That was the correct way to treat


    her friends! She felt so ridiculous. ire didn''t know how Louisa saw the whole situation. But for ire,


    her mother''s aloof attitude was definitely awkward and unnecessary.


    "You silly girl, what do you want from me? Why do I have to address her by her first name now? If you


    want to call her Louisa, then go ahead. I am not stopping you from doing that. However, I have my own


    preferences!" Ignoring her daughter''s suggestion, Shannon walked away and gave her the cold


    shoulder. She didn''t feel like calling Louisa by her first name. From her observation, Louisa was not


    likable at all. On the contrary, she had the tendency to manipte others and benefit from them. She


    had her own selfish ns and schemes. Faced with such a calcting girl, Shannon found it really


    hard to cultivate any intimacy with her.


    "Mom, you are deliberately irritating me now. Why do you have to be so difficult? Why can''t you just


    refer to her as Louisa?! ''Miss Ye''? You talk about her as if she is so old!" ire stomped her feet and


    shouted at her mother''s back. She was stunned by her mother''s words. How could she be so


    unreasonable? Was it really necessary to be this indifferent to Louisa? What was the point?


    "Well, what do you prefer then? How about you give me a good suggestion once and for all? I am all


    ears. Just tell me how you would like me to address her?" Shannon was known to be well received


    among people. After all, she was a refineddy with great manners. Normally, she did not pick bones


    with her daughter. However, to Nathan''s surprise, she sounded very serious and quite frankly, even


    intimidating. He wondered why his graceful wife held such a grudge against Louisa and went so all out


    over a stupid name. He, on the other hand, liked Louisa dearly. She was his oldrade''s beloved


    little girl. To some extent, he even saw her as his very own daughter.


    "I think you should call her Louisa just like Dad does. Why not call her Louisa? Mom please, for the


    sake of me, you should just treat her better. I have noticed you giving her stern looks on several


    asions. I myself am used to all thating from you but I am sure Louisa feels uneasy around you.


    She is really close to me. Please, for the sake of me, just try your best to ept her!" ire wrung her


    hands together, earnestly gazing at her mother. She really hoped that Shannon would hold her friend


    as dearly as ire herself did.


    "I am not that close to her, to be honest with you. I find it quite odd to call her that. After all, I don''t know


    her so well." Shannon shook her head and sighed helplessly. She made it quite clear that she refused


    to build an intimate rtionship with this Louisa. She would rather refer to her as Miss Ye. Deep down,


    she wanted Louisa to know her stance: she didn''t like her at all. Shannon only tolerated her because of


    this persistence from her daughter. Certain boundaries needed to be put up clearly. Shannon


    personally didn''t want her in the house at all. Hopefully, Louisa would get her message and back off.


    "Why can''t you just call her by her first name? For crying out loud, you call Leena by her first name


    even though you just got to know her a few days ago! Why do you treat them so differently? What is


    wrong with you?" At this stage, ire was genuinely cross at her mother. In her opinion, Shannon was


    unbelievably stubborn. ire got up so early so she could have a good chat with her regarding the way


    she treated her friend. However, things just turned out nasty. Her mother was being unreasonable and


    hard to please. ire really hated tomunicate with people who were this headstrong. All her words


    were in vain. It seemed like her mother had made up her mind already.
