FreeNovelChapter 145 Skill Enhancement Required
The crowd’s expression became increasingly complicated. From the situation, they could tell that
Monica had approved of Linda as her future daughter-in-law, but Julia didn’t.
As much as Monica was influential in the family, Julia had a higher status.
And so, it would be a challenge for Linda to marry Gareth.
At that moment, Linda couldn’t help cursing Julia inwardly although she was usually polite toward the
elders.
This old woman is purposely embarrassing me in front of the public!
Taking a deep breath, Linda tried to keep her shirt on and uttered with a smile, “Yeah, you’re indeed
strong and healthy, Grandma. Mr. and Mrs. Wickam just want to ensure your safety and are worried
that you might fall.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the other hand, Monica regained her composure too and said, “Mom, please don’t be so stubborn.
You’re advanced in age and should be more careful.”
Julia waved her hand casually. Seeing that, the guests came forward to wish Julia a happy birthday.
Sure enough, Julia was pleased by these honey-tongued guests.
“Haha! You guys made it sound as if I’m only eighteen this year.” Julia’s tone became more alleviated.
When she turned and saw Elisa gazing at her with a smile from the side, she waved at Elisa. “Hey girl,
you’re here! Why didn’t you come and help me?”
Elisa was startled. She knew Julia said so to embarrass Linda in the public and show support for her.
Elisa inhaled before walking up to Julia with a smile. “That’s because I know you’re strong, Grandma.”
“Even your dear Mrs. Wickam cares for me and is worried that I’ll fall, but look at you. I’ve doted on you
for nothing these years!”
Julia’s remark might sound like she was disappointed, but a discerning man would be able to tell that
she was saying it in a pampering manner.
Standing at the spot, Linda was awkward and at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, the guests were surprised to hear Julia mention ‘Mrs. Wickam’.
The ‘Mrs. Wickam’ was referring to Monica. In the past, Elisa would address Monica as ‘Mom’.
As such, Julia had obviously admitted Gareth and Elisa’s divorce.
But it is clear that she still dotes on Elisa a lot. Why? The guests were confused.
With a smile tugged at her lips, Rachel gazed at Elisa before approaching Linda. “Hey Linda, it seems
like Old Madam Wickam still dotes on Elisa a lot although she and Gareth have divorced. But please
don’t overthink. Old Madam Wickam just feels sorry for Elisa and doesn’t mean to ignore you.”
Linda freaked out at Rachel’s words.
Why didn’t I realize earlier she’s such a b*tch!
Just a moment ago, Linda put on a smile and was about to tell the guests that she was happy to see
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJulia and Elisa’s harmonious interaction.
However, before she could speak, Rachel forestalled her and made it sound as if she was being petty.
At the same time, Rachel’s remark successfully attracted the others’ attention.
Controlling her anger, Linda chuckled. “What are you talking about, Rachel? I’m very glad to see Old
Madam Wickam and Elisa get along well. After all, I was sad that Elisa is no longer part of the Wickam
family, but I’m happy to see their cordial interaction despite the change in Elisa’s status.”
Rachel laughed. “You’re right. You’re indeed gentle and sensible, Linda. I shouldn’t have worried that
you would feel uncomfortable.”
This woman is too cunning. I can’t beat her! Forget about it. I should enhance my skills before
confronting this ingenious b*tch again.
