At the dinner table, Curtis Irwin peeled the crawfish meticulously and placed them one by one on Isabel’s plate.
The delicate white porcelain plate was dotted with fatty crayfish.
Isabel was in a good mood. “Curtis Irwin, let’s go to the mall this afternoon, I want to buy a bracelet for mom, I didn’t even buy her anything to meet her when she came back.”
Curtis Irwin’s movements a beat, “No need.”
“For, why …” The light in Isabel’s eyes faded out.
The movement in her hands also paused slightly, her chest felt like a huge rock was pressing down. “Curtis Irwin, you tell me honestly, does mommy not like me? I … I know, she dislikes that I am not well educated and that I am not good enough for you.”
Isabel stirred her fingers and was a little lost.
She is an ordinary undergraduate university graduate, but Curtis Irwin is a top foreign university graduate, and is Matthew Grant’s special assistant, knows several languages, she really can’t help him at work.
So, it’s only right that your mother-in-law doesn’t like you.
Just a slight loss of heart.
“Why think so, she didn’t dislike you, Isabel …”
“You don’t have to lie to me, I know all about it.” Isabel sucked her nose, her eyes couldn’t help but red a circle, she picked up the lemonade in front of her and poured several sips, then said, “Curtis Irwin, I …”
“I’ll say.” Curtis Irwin’s brow furrowed.
He stopped Isabel after buy words, handsome face tinged with a layer of gloom, “Isabel, my mother is what attitude you do not care, the future to live together is the two of us, my parents are always abroad, they will not come back once a year, we endured these days on the line, okay?”
Curtis Irwin’s voice was low.
With a hint of supplication.
Isabel froze, not expecting him to say these words so seriously. Isabel immediately smiled, stretched out her hand and touched Curtis Irwin’s face, intimately slowing down her tone.
“I believe you, then we’d better go to the mall later to buy a gift for mom, it’s not easy for her to come back, I don’t want her to think that I, her daughter-in-law, don’t care about her oh.”
“Good.” Curtis Irwin smiled and showed his white teeth.
The two untangled the knot from last night, finished the meal together and went to the mall.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been very difficult since ancient times, Isabel thought, and she couldn’t make things difficult for Curtis Irwin if she tried.
…
Blanca Roach was indeed called back by Alan Grant, and Matthew Grant was not yet back when she arrived.
The maid brought Blanca Roach inside and saw Shelly and Jim Grant sitting beside Alan Grant. The two men saw Blanca Roach and reluctantly shouted.
“Grandpa, are you looking for me?” Blanca Roach didn’t want to bother talking to them.
She had a light smile on her face.
Shelly coughed, “Blanca, sit down first, should I let Grandpa talk to you like this?”
Blanca Roach glanced at her, did not say anything, just as the maid made tea over, she obediently sat on the sofa opposite.
The old man let Blanca Roach drink the tea, then slowly said, “Blanca, I call you here today, there is indeed a matter that I need your help.”
Blanca Roach raised her eyebrows, she probably already realized what it was about.
But the mouth did not say, “Grandpa, you say.”
Shelly snorted in her heart, Blanca Roach is such a cunning fox! How could she not know what the old man meant …
