After all, what a life Nellie had lived for Andre some years ago?
Even if she was not close to the Chambers family at that time, the old lady had always watched over this granddaughter. That seemed to really hurt to watch her so lowly.
How could she bear it, now that she had made up her mind to return to a normal life, to let her give up because of the Chambers family?
Nellie, “Grandma, the Brooks family is not really an easy family, I just want to be alone right now.”
“Alone? Then Andre?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.” Nellie said in a light tone.
Why would Andre strike out against the Chambers family? In fact, it was only to force her to come back to Shirling and keep her and Barney far away from each other.
Now that she had returned to Shirling, then there was no reason for him to deal with the Chambers family.
Martha looked at her with eyes full of heartache, “I can help you…”
“No, Grandma, I’ll take care of it, don’t worry about me, okay?”
Not wanting the old lady to bother too much, Nellie said in a very strong tone, and the old lady originally wanted to say something else, blooking at Nellie in such a persistent manner, she nodded her head.
“Well, since you’ve said that, I’ll do as you say.”
“Okay.”
Nellie nodded.
Because Andre followed her here, Nellie and the Chambers family were not in a good mood to dine together.
Martha did not want to see Andre. Even though the matter was started because of Nellie, it was not right for a man to wreak havoc on her family in order to get her back.
On the way back, Andre asked, “What do you want to eat?”
“I’m going home.”
Nellie said without thinking.
Andre, “Come with me to Cahowon.”
Cahowon? He’s been over at Cahowon a lot of the time over the years, except when he’s been back at the Lawson’s.
That place had always been a place where Nellie had not set foot before, and every time she sought to go there, he had kept her out.
She had been everywhere in his world but Cahowon, and now he was taking her back to Cahowon? That meant he had it all sorted out.
It was just that Nellie no longer wanted to enter his world.
“No.”
She spat out indifferently.
Andre froze at her words.
“Whether you like it or not, I’ll go wherever you go now, and if you don’t go to Cahowon, then I’ll go back to the James’ with you.”
Nellie frowned.
She looked at Andre with displeasure, but Andre stretched out a hand over her eyes, shutting out all the discontent in her eyes.
Nellie, “You’re shameless.”
“Yes, I’m shameless, so from now on I’m a candy that sticks to you wherever you go.”
Andre said it in a strong way.
Nellie was silent.
Ruby took Violet back to her room and gave her a lecture, saying, “You can’t stand this bit of aggression. What will you do in the future?”
“Mom, what’s wrong with me? He didn’t even look at me.” The more she said, the more aggrieved Violet became.
Was she not as good as Nellie?
Ruby was upset.
Violet did no fancy all other rich men, but only Andre, who was good enough.
But it would be hard to love someone who didn’t like her. And Violet knew that.
“If you can’t stand that, don’t think of him in the future.”
“No, mum, I will never marry others but Andre in my life.”
“You…”
“Mum, you will definitely help me, right? You’ve always said that Andre is good before.” Violet looked at Ruby pitifully.
Ruby’s face grew worse and worse.
Yes, Andre is good, and she has always acknowledged that Andre is very good, but even if he is good, he is still married now.
But because he is married to Nellie, Ruby hopes more than ever that it will be over between Andre and Nellie as soon as possible.
“Then clean up your mood now and go out to dinner with Grandma, and be in touch with him more.”
“Okay.” Seeing that Ruby no longer objected, a smile instantly appeared on Violet’s face.
However, when the two of them arrived at the dining room, they saw that Martha was the only one eating at the table.
Violet and Ruby looked at each other.
Ruby stepped forward, “Mom, where’s Andre?”
“What do you want with him?” Martha said in a cold tone.
This icy voice startled Ruby’s heart. Thinking of the warning she had given herself in the old lady’s tone just now, she knew her mind had been seen through by the old lady.
At the moment there is more or less embarrassment on her face, but she still said stiffly, “I am not looking for him, but he is a guest, it is just a random question.”
“I hope so.”
Martha looked sharply towards Ruby, and the warning in them was even more serious than when Andre was there just now.
Not only did Ruby herself hear it, but Violet on the other side quite understood it.
Grandma had really always been partial towards Nellie. Earlier when Andre and Nellie broke up, Grandma had never allowed her to go near Andre.
Now seeing Andre and Nellie back together, Grandma would not allow her to have such a mind even more.
“Mom, I’m going back to my room first, I don’t have an appetite.” The more she thought about it, the more Violet didn’t want to see the old lady, so she turned around and left.
Although Ruby did not dare, her face was more or less tinged with discontent with the old lady, and she forcibly held back and took her seat beside her.
With Violet gone, it was just Ruby and the old lady left, and Ruby laid out the food for Martha.
Martha, “Ruby, I believe you are already a person with a mature mind, but if you really are thoughtful for her, you can’t indulge her in such a mind.” She was talking about Violet.
Ruby’s face had now sunk deeper.
“What are you talking about? What could Violet have in mind.”
“She’s always liked Andre, I believe you know that.”
Ruby’s hand holding the chopsticks stiffened, obviously she did not expect the old lady’s words to be so direct, and at the moment they were like a loud slap in the face.
Ruby laughed dryly, “Don’t worry, Mum, Violet knows what to do and what not to do.”
The latter phrase, which Ruby said very heavily, was clearly saying that Nellie was a girl who could not do things right.
If she could, she wouldn’t have made such a fuss about the Brooks family before, making them look bad.
How could Martha not hear that? At that moment, her face darkened even more.
The chopsticks in her hand slammed heavily on the dining table, frightening Ruby, who was not daring to continue with another word.
