Helen is only nine years old this year, but has a surprisingly high IQ, so naturally she will know a little more than children her age.
“Learn what ah, the second year of the book I have finished reading, but I have a late birthday with Luis, than the age of the same age is one level lower, if not daddy last month to discuss with the teacher to skip a grade matter, I am still in the second grade squatting.”
Helen was a bit sullen.
“You are still small, skip a grade to the fourth grade you must sink your heart to learn. Can not be high-minded and arrogant know?”
Adriana persuaded bitterly.
“Lawson, Helen and I talked about it, and after we finish our junior year we’re going to bust out the high school entrance exams.”
Luis added.
“You guys …”
Adriana was speechless, “Forget it, we’ll talk about the study later, go inside. We still have to discuss things with your grandmother.”
“Lawson, you’d better hurry up and take us away, there’s one inside that looks exactly like you … ah, what are you hitting me for?”
Luis accidentally slipped up and Helen slapped him lightly on the head.
“What nonsense. That’s a fake that looks exactly like our mommy. I don’t want to see her, and Aunt Theresa brought her to Orchard House for New Year’s Eve! That’s disgusting.”
Helen muttered.
“You guys mean Sandra?”
Adriana didn’t expect Sandra to be here.
The two children nodded their heads.
At that moment, another staggering voice came from over there.
“Lawson, why are you here, are you coming to spend New Year’s Eve with us?” Sloane was so excited, he ran to her, “I’m telling you, my mom has the kitchen prepare a lot of good food today, Theresa and Sandra are here, let’s join them.”
She tugged Lawson and headed toward the living room.
Adriana seemed unaccustomed to Sloane’s familiarity and quietly drew back her wrist and said, “I went to see your brother and he asked me to take Luis and Helen back to spend New Year’s with Anne.”
“Yes aunt, I’m going to my godmother.”
“Mmmmmmmmmm, I’m going to find my godmother too, I miss them.”
The two children grinned.
“Lawson, that’s The Alston family’s child, and who are you to take someone away without my godmother’s word.”
In the hallway, Theresa, wearing a purple corseted skirt and a silver-gray cashmere shawl, spoke coldly and proudly.
“That’s right, they are Peter’s big brother’s children, you say take them away?”
Sandra helps Theresa dislike ‘Lawson’.
The two can be described as sisters in arms.
“Who are you, a fake, to talk to me Lawson? Besides, according to the generation, I have to address her as ‘Godfather’.”
Luis gave Sandra a blank look, with contempt and disdain in his eyes.
“Aunt Theresa, Luis and I are old enough to spend New Year’s Eve with whom and where we want, it’s all up to us. Also, the ground you are standing on now belongs to me, The Alston family, and there is no place for you to talk!”
Helen speaks more sharply, and every word is heartbreaking.
Hearing Theresa’s anger run straight to her head, her angry eyes narrowed slightly, but still not quite sure if the two children knew the true identity of ‘Lawson’.
“Helen, how are you talking? How many times have I told you, she is my goddaughter, watch your attitude!”
Mrs. Alston was not very friendly to Helen.
It is not the first time that Adriana finds out that Mrs. Alston does not like Helen, perhaps because Helen is more partial to herself, so Mrs. Alston does not like her very much.
“Since she is your goddaughter, she should be addressed as ‘Auntie’, why does she still want to be called Auntie? To put it bluntly, she is still coveting my daddy and wants to be my little mother with Luis? Now that you can’t win my daddy’s heart, you’ve found a fake and want to take his place, or do you want two daughters to serve one husband?”
Helen dislikes Theresa and Sandra so much that she speaks harshly.
“Helen!”
Adriana knew Helen was smart, but didn’t expect her to bring these words to the forefront and inevitably anger Theresa and Mrs. Alston.
The main thing is how can ‘two women serving one husband’ come out of the mouth of a nine-year-old girl!
“Unrestrained, how do you speak?”
Mrs. Alston wore a black velvet cheongsam with gold thread embroidery and a fox fur shawl of the same color.
Long hair polished and coiled at the back of her head, delicate makeup slightly heavy, stretched out her hand with dyed black nails and pointed at Helen, cursing angrily.
“I’m telling you the truth, don’t say you don’t see it, you’re deliberately condoning it! You know that my daddy can’t forget my mommy, and you condone these sultry women to hook up with my daddy!”
Helen seems to be in a deliberate fight, and is not intimidated by a furious Mrs. Alston.
“Good you wild girl, as a child with that wild bastard mommy of yours, no upbringing at all, today I do not clean you up, you do not know who is in charge of this family. malia, go get me the family law!”
Mrs. Alston came down the steps on her high heels and stood in the compound, her chest heaving with anger.
Theresa had a smile in her eyes, but she went to Mrs. Alston and pulled her in front of her, “Godmother, don’t be angry, Helen is a child who speaks without fear. You also know that she wandered around with Adriana when she was a child, so it is inevitable that she is neglected, you will not be able to correct the child’s wild nature for a while, you have to give her more time.”
This, at first glance, seems to be a comfort to Mrs. Alston, but in Mrs. Alston’s ears, it is inevitably harsh.
Just the mention of Adriana makes her extra angry!
“Get up! And give time? That woman has been dead for five years, and I can’t even teach a wild girl in five years. If I can’t teach a wild girl well in five years, it only means that she is just like her wild mother, unrepentant!”
Mrs. Alston growled, inclined her head to look at Malia who was standing aside and yelled, “Standing around waiting to die? Can’t you hear me when I tell you to take the family law?”
“Mom, it’s New Year’s Eve, what are you doing?”
Sloane knows that Lawson loves children and doesn’t want her mommy to give Lawson a bad impression by beating her child.
But deep down she hates Adriana but not Helen.
The child is innocent.
“Shut the hell up!”
Mrs. Alston has been irritated by Peter’s affairs lately, just like the grass that withers in late autumn and needs only a little spark to start a fire in an instant.
“Grandma, I’m Helen’s brother. If there’s anything you need to do, come at me.”
Luis broke away from Adriana’s arms, walked over to Mrs. Alston, looked up and said, “Daddy said I’m a big boy and have a place in this family, I forbid you to hit Helen, hit me if you want.”
The little man, with just a few words, moved Adriana.
Her children are all really well.
“Luis, you are also angry with Grandma along with that wild girl, aren’t you? Look, you bring all kinds of evil into the house, you’re a good kid, she’s brought you down.”
Mrs. Alston cursed one after another.
“Helen is right, why did you hit her, don’t you know what Auntie Theresa has in mind? After all, Helen and I are daddy’s daughters, she wants to be our little mother must not ask our opinion?”
