Chapter 225


    Chapter 225 Embarrassing Moment


    “Christina, shut your mouth.” Emily, known for 1 good temper, suddenly raised her voice, her


    expression turning cold as she red at her. “I didn’t bring you to the Youngs‘ Old Manor to create


    trouble. If you don’t want to stay, leave now.”


    Seeing Emily genuinely angry, Christina pursed her lips. Her face showed defiance, and her voice


    choked with emotion as she said, “Em…”


    The atmosphere at the table had already dampened after Christina revealed my divorce from


    Idris.


    Upon hearing her words, Madam Young turned her cloudy eyes toward us and intervened to calm


    Emily’s anger. “Emily, don’t scold her.”


    After speaking, Madam Young looked at Idris and me, asking, “Iddy, Yvette, what exactly is going on?


    You’re divorced? When did this happen?”


    With the truth now out in the open, I pressed my lips together, thinking that maybe it was not such a


    bad thing to announce it now. I took a deep breath and looked at Madam Young. Grandma, Idris and I


    are…”


    “Grandma, we’re doing fine,” Idris interrupted me, his face cold as he nced at Christina. His voice


    was deep as he said, “Divorced, you say? Despite being the parties involved, we’re quite unaware of


    your detailed knowledge. Why? Did you handle our divorce? Spouting such lies so easily. Jack Zanier


    has raised you well, hmm?”


    His words were harsh, especiallying from someone as well–mannered as Idris. It was not just hard


    to hear… It was brutal.


    Christina’s face instantly turned red. Her tears were stuck in her eyes as fear and


    embarrassment were bottling up on her face, making her already unremarkable features even more


    unpleasant to look at.


    Hearing his heavy words, Madam Young frowned slightly. After all, Christina was a guest. She said,


    “Iddy, she’s just a child. If you have something to say, please tell her in a nicer way.”


    With a stern face, Idris turned to Emily. “Emily, it’s gettingte. Charles should be avable now. I’ll ask


    him to send her back so her parents won’t be worried.”


    He was effectively sending her away.


    It was truly an embarrassing moment.


    Emily looked at Christina helplessly, then nodded slightly at Idris. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Iddy.”


    “Em?” With such a blunt send–off, Christina turned pale while looking at Emily, trying to say something.


    Emily looked at her and said, “I’ll call your parents in a bit. You should go back early and not.” Having


    reached this point in the conversation, with so many people present, Christina could no longer stay no


    matter how thick–skinned she was.

    Disregarding etiquette, she stood up while shooting me a re, then left the dining room.


    As she left, the atmosphere at the table turned sour. The pleasant dinner was now spoiled, leaving


    everyone with little appetite.


    Everyone fell silent, quietly eating their meal.


    After dinner, Madam Young did not say much, but she called Idris and me to her yard for a private talk.


    Madam Young’s yard was spacious, and the room housed arge stove, making it very warm.


    Sitting around the stove, Madam Young looked at us and said to Idris, “Iddy, tell me, what exactly is


    going on with what that Zanier kid said earlier?”


    With a gentle expression on his face, Idris looked at her and said, “Grandma, you believe her


    nonsensical words? You’ve seen how Yvette and I have been these past few days. We’re fine.” Madam


    Young seemed not to believe his words but instead looked at me. “Yvette, tell Grandma the truth. Have


    you and Iddy really divorced?”


    Unsure of Madam Young’s condition, I pursed my lips and said, “Grandma, I know you hope we can


    continue living well together, but whether people can stay together depends on fate. Regardless of


    whether Idris and I are divorced or not, I will alwayse here to visit you.”


    I did not directly answer her question but rather offered some polite words.


    Madam Young was a clever woman. She did not press further but fell silent for a while before saying,


    “As long as you two are fine, that’s all I care about. The annex here has been cleaned. up. You two


    have just finished dinner, so why don’t you walk around the house? You should live here from now on.”


    I was stunned. Had Madam Young not taken in what I just said?


    “Grandma…” I was about to speak.


    She looked at me and Idris with a kind face and said, “You shouldn’t have treated that Zanier kid like


    that. After all, she’s a rtive. Blood’s thicker than water. Acting that way is like pping Jack Zanier in


    the face. He’s known for being protective. Although the Youngs s don’t need him, it’s better to have a


    friend than a foe. I’m just afraid he might cause troubleter, creating obstacles out of spite.”
