Chapter 1004: Strategy had been Ready


    In the wake of Mrs. Brennan''s emotional reaction, the middle-aged onlookers beside the table


    screamed, "David, when did you get married?"


    "Ha!" Mrs. Brennan woke from her previous surprise and red at Shania at once. She then asked


    David furiously, "When did you get married? Why didn''t you tell me? Tell me about the whole stuff!"


    Mrs. Brennan was not a politedy indeed. And because of a special mindset as a mother, she


    immediately became disgruntled with Shania. In her mind, Shania was to me for David''s sudden


    marriage. Probably, it might be Shania who enticed her son into doing such an ungrateful thing.


    "Yesterday," replied David with one word. Everyone could tell that David did not give a damn and was


    not going to exin it. Such an attitude irritated Mrs. Brennanpletely.


    She cursed with one finger pointing at David, "David, do you think you''ve grown up? Why didn''t you tell


    us before you were going to get married? Do you still respect me as your mother?"


    Mrs. Brennan roared loudly. After the roar, the entire living room was quiet. It seemed everyone was


    waiting to have a goodugh at the quarrel between David and Mrs. Brennan.


    "Mom, are you dissatisfied with me being your daughter-inw?" Shania cried suddenly. She was red-


    eyed and her eyes were filled with tears. It seemed that she would burst into tears if Mrs. Brennan said


    one more hard words the next second.


    Mrs. Brennan had never experienced such a scene. In the past, Maisie would only ignore her or act


    against her, when she caused trouble to Maisie. Maisie never admitted being defeated in front of her,


    not even begging forgiveness once.


    But now, the girl next to her son was on the verge of tears. Mrs. Brennan thought she would be a bully


    if she continued to shout.


    When Mrs. Brennan was confused by Shania''s reaction, Shania said in a choked voice, "Do you think


    I''m not pretty enough to be David''s wife? Or do you think I''m not tall enough or attractive enough? Or


    do you think Ie from a poor family?"


    Before Mrs. Brennan could say something, Shania seemed to be very nervous and exined, "My


    parents runpanies abroad. Umm… they are in charge of fivepanies in total."


    Mrs. Brennan was transfixed with shock by Shania''s background. She had thought it was Shania who


    seduced her son. It turned out that it was her son who moved up to a higher ss thanks to the girl.


    "I…I—" Mrs. Brennan tried to ease the atmosphere by saying something, but she did not know where


    to begin.


    As for a snobbish person who was fond of money, Shania''s family was rich enough to make her eyes


    shine with excitement.


    Shania made use of Mrs. Brennan''s weakness. She first told them about her own excellent family to


    get the right to speak for herself. It was not to show off wealth or to becent about her family.


    Shania knew how to deal with different people with different strategies.


    Obviously, Mrs. Brennan greatly objected to her at the beginning. Shania did not want to await Mrs.


    Brennan''s lifemanship so that she decided in the nick of time to show her wealthy family and speak in a


    piteous way. Thus, Mrs. Brennan had no idea how to deal with the situation.


    Shania knew clearly that Mrs. Brennan would be more ferocious than her, if she fought against her with


    toughness. But Mrs. Brennan did not know how to react when she acted like a weak, timid girl.


    At this time, David nced at the middle-aged women in the living room and asked them to leave in an


    unfriendly tone, "Pleasee here some other day. We''re going to have a family talk."


    David saw through their intentions of watching a family drama at a nce. He had grown up in such an


    environment and knew well that gossiping about others was their everyday joy. So, it was better to


    simply kick them out.


    Maybe it was his sour face that scared them, so Madeline, one of their neighbors took the lead to stand


    up and spoke smilingly to Mrs. Brennan, "In this case, we gotta go first. Have a nice day."


    Mrs. Brennan was not in a mood to see them off and just waved her hand to say goodbye. These


    middle-aged women were difficult to send away. As they walked out, they shouted deliberately, "What


    happened? Why didn''t he tell his parents about his marriage before?"


    "You''re right. These young men are impolite and ungrateful."


    "I''ve heard the little Brennan was polite and obedient to his parents. Howe he be a bad son


    like his sister?"


    Mrs. Brennan became even more furious due to the inmmatory remarks.


    The onlookers then left. When Mrs. Brennan was going to vent her anger, Shania covered her mouth


    suddenly and was about to puke, which made Mrs. Brennan still and silent.


    David, standing beside Shania, became worried when he saw her unwell. He held her in his arms and


    asked nervously, "What''s the matter?"


    With one hand covering her mouth, Shania blinked at him and asked Mrs. Brennan in a weak manner,


    "Where''s the restroom?"


    Mrs. Brennan froze in perplexity and pointed towards the restroom. Shania rushed into it and closed


    the door. Outside, Mrs. Brennan and David heard Shania was vomiting yet nothing came out.


    David was worried to death. He knocked at the door and asked, "Shania, what''s up?"


    In disbelief, Mrs. Brennan murmured to herself, "Is, is she pregnant?"


    As a mother of two, Mrs. Brennan knew well about pregnancy symptoms.


    "Im—" David wanted to say "impossible". They had been together for just a few days. How could she


    be pregnant?


    But, the next second, he realized. It might be Shania''s strategy—she lied to her mother that she was


    pregnant.


    After all, they all knew that his parents were looking forward to having a grandson. If Shania was

    pregnant now, his mother would not be so hard on her.


    At this thought, David stopped his original words and said in a softer tone, "It couldn''t be?"


    He replied in uncertainty—not his initial, emphatic denial.


    He was all to me. He trusted Shania so much that he had never asked her n for today. Shania


    only told him that she had prepared well and no more else.


    Thanks to the fact that he knew Shania well or they would give the trick away.


    But when he heard the sham noises of terribly vomiting, David was somewhat anxious. If she was


    really pregnant, would she be distressed as now?


    David had been concerned about Maisie when she was pregnant and always gave her a call. In fact,


    Maisie''s condition was quite good. She did not experience severe sickness during pregnancy.


    In spite of that, David was very worried about his sister at that time. If Shania would be in the same


    condition, he could not expect how nervous he would be.


    And the great pain when women gave birth to their babies…


    David did not dare to imagine what was going to happen. How about not having a child? And Shania


    would not suffer the pain.
