Capítulo 116


    Although Alena was dissatisfied with Ethan, she didn’t dare to resist him because he was highly respected in Vertoak and had


    the final say in matters concerning the Nelson family.


    So when Alena heard that Edmund was with Ethan, she immediately hung up the phone.


    Ethan red at Edmund with discontent. “You can’t deal with your mother yourself, so you use me as a scapegoat.”Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Edmund replied as if nothing had happened, “Doesn''t that please you? It means that your high prestige deters even my mother’s


    defiance. She’s scared of provoking you.”


    Ethan snorted with disdain, begrudgingly admiring Edmund''sment.


    Then, Ethan continued to me Alena, “It’s your mother’s fault that Sonya has be the way she is. She’s always too busy


    meddling in other people’s affairs that she’s failed to raise her own children well.”


    Edmund reminded him, “Grandpa, I’m also my mother’s child.”


    The implication was that even though they were brought up by the same mother, Edmund was different from Sonya.


    Ethan rolled his eyes and asked, “So you think you’re better than your sister?”


    Edmund was rendered speechless.


    At Edmund''s parents’ house.


    After hanging up the phone, Alena said to Diane assuredly, “Don’t cry dearie. | have scolded him already. He will call you once he


    calms down. You know how men behave. He needs some time to cool off first.”


    Despite these consoling words, Diane still burst into tears. She asked, “Will Edmund abandon me?”


    “No! That won''t happen. It’s normal for lovers to quarrel asionally. How can two people be together without quarreling? Trust


    me, everything will be fine. He will call you soon.” Alena reassured Diane as she patted her on the back.


    Sonya, who had been scrolling through Instagram on her mobile phone as shey on the sofa, suddenly sat up. She said with a


    frown, “My brother is so strange. | still can’t believe that he quarreled with Diane because of Chelsea. Is he out of his mind?”


    “Shut up, you silly girl!” Alena shouted. Sonya’s words had gotten on her nerves. She was trying to calm Diane, but her silly


    daughter was adding fuel to the fire.


    After ring at Sonya, she said to Diane, “Don’t mind her. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Edmund only did it for the


    sake of the Nelson family and you. He doesn’t care about Chelsea at all.”


    Diane, who was about to increase the tempo of her cry, calmed down when she heard Alena’s words.


    “You know, Edmund only has eyes for you. Although he was married to Chelsea for three years, he never liked her. How could he


    take sides with her now that they are divorced? If he does that, it means he’s too...” Alena paused mid-rant. She almost blurted


    out that her son was cheap. It annoyed her that Edmund made Diane sad just for the sake of his ex-wife. She didn’t want


    anything to go wrong in her son’s rtionship now.


    Diane wiped her tears and calmed down a little. “I’m sorry for not controlling myself and stressing you over my rtionship


    problems.”


    Alena patted her hand and immediately uttered, “Oh, there’s no need to apologize. You are just like a daughter to me. Can''ta


    mother console her daughter? Your problem is my problem. I’m willing to console you no matter what. Not to worry, Edmund will


    get married to you. You both will make cute babies. Once you give me a grandson, I''ll be at peace. Cheer up, okay?”


    Diane smiled shyly. It ddened her heart to know that Edmund''s mother was in support of her getting married to him


    Alena nced at the clock on the wall and added, “It’s gettingte. | have to go upstairs to have a rest. Sonya will keep you


    company here.”


    Once Alena went upstairs, Sonya put away her phone and moved to Diane. She whispered, “Listen to me. Chelsea has an


    unruly brother and a gambling addict for a father, right?”
