Chapter 260


    “Alright, everyone starts chowing down! Aiden and Alex will be down any second.”


    Sophia let it go and picked up her cup again.


    Emmett wanted to say something, but ra subtly tugged at his sleeve, hinting at him to zip it.


    Shortly, Aiden and Alex came down.


    So, the dinner ended with everyone fussing over the kids.


    On their way to work, ra was engrossed in the documents in her hand, as if she wasn’t the one who


    just got sted.”


    The one who was antsy and disgruntled was actually Emmett.


    “This won’t do if my mom keeps this up; it’ll mess up our rtionship.”


    ra nced at him and suddenly burst intoughter, “You’re talking all deep and stuff… Nothing’s


    going to rock our boat.”


    “If this keeps up, my mom’s behavior is going to go off the rails.”


    Emmett knew his mom’s nature all too well.


    From the looks of it, despite his and his dad’s repeated warnings, his mom showed no signs of backing


    down! It seems like things are only going to go downhill from here.

    “Oh,e on, don’t let this get under your skin! I admit, whenever I get a scolding, I feel down in the


    dumps, but I’ve never held it against you! And I won’t let this mess with my mind!” ra waved the


    blueprints in her hand, “I’m swamped right now; I don’t have time for this. I just hope my designs can


    rake in more dough for the Melendez Group! I can’t be bothered with family drama.”


    Emmett frowned at her, “Are you really not bothered, or do you have some kind of game n? I feel


    like you don’t really care about me, so you don’t care what my mom says about you.”


    ra shook her head, “If I let this get to me, it’ll only sour the atmosphere at home! I want the kids to


    grow up in a happy family. What would they think if they came home to see me and their grandma


    bickering?”


    “I always feel you’re so easygoing because you don’t really care about me.”


    ra fell silent momentarily, took a deep breath, and voluntarily ced her hand in his, “We’vee


    this far… Do you think I don’t care about you enough?”


    “Not enough.”


    “Emmett, when did you be so insecure?” ra arched an eyebrow, “I remember you being a


    proud man who would never let anyone get to him.”


    “You’re different; you’re my wife.”


    She was the only woman Emmett had ever loved.


    Emmett’s sudden deration of love always left ra a bit flustered.


    “I’ve said so much about my mom, but you’re acting like it’s no big deal.”


    ra shrugged, “I just think it’s not worth stirring up awkwardness over this! Your mom’s just looking


    out for you She wouldn’t reallyy


    a hand on me, right? So why should I nitpick and even tell you about it to upset you?”


    Emmett waved his hand, “Forget it; I can’t convince you.”


    “I know you’re just looking out for me, thinking for me.” ra leaned into him yfully, “Don’t worry, I’m


    a grown-up; I know what I should and shouldn’t do! We should try to understand and tolerate our


    elders!”
