Chapter 383 The Young Lady’s Frenzied Affection
Helplessly, Mia turned to Alan again and said, And you too! When I called to ask you, you still said you were looking for mahjong parlors, but in fact, you took my dad out to eat and drink!Alan coughed and replied, It’s mainly because Dad said he was suffering from hunger. I couldn’t possibly drag an elderly person around the streets with me on an empty stomach, could I? If he fainted from low blood sugar, it might even lead to danger.But you shouldn’t have lied to me either! Couldn’t you just have told me the truth that you two were eating?Alan was suddenly at a loss for words. He felt he really hadn’t handled this matter well, and the key point was that he hadn’t expected Mia to see through Gilmore’s pretense. If he had known this would happen, he would never have gone to that barbecue meal.So he could only sincerely apologize: I’m sorry, honey. I didn’t think this through properly. Dad told me not to tell you at the time, so I didn’t mention it to you on the phone.As he said t
Chapter 382 Life in Prison 2
Old Mrs. Mill stumbled to the bathroom door. Watching Philippa pin Ivy down on the damp floor and slap her alternately with both hands, she said with a grin, Philippa, let her sleep in the bathroom tonight!Philippa nodded, then slapped Ivy again and snapped angrily, If you dare step out of this bathroom tonight, I’ll slap you to death!Ivy’s face swelled even more from the slap. The pain left her on the verge of breaking down. She could only nod repeatedly and whimper incoherently, I’ll sleep in the bathroom! I’ll sleep in the bathroom! Please stop hitting me—if you hit me again, I’ll die! Please!Philippa snorted coldly and said, Die already? Let me tell you, your hard days are just beginning. You wait and see!After speaking, she stood up, kicked Ivy once more, and then turned to leave.Old Mrs. Mill didn’t leave, though. Leaning against the bathroom doorframe, she looked at Ivy, who was lying on the floor weeping bitterly, and sneered, Ivy, you unfilial wretch! Did you really thin
Chapter 381 Life in Prison 1
No, Arina said in a somewhat dejected tone. My husband passed away, which is why I’ve decided to return to China with my son.Gilmore’s heart instantly filled with joy!So he quickly blurted out, Then... how about we have a meal together after you land? Let me pick you up! I’ll treat you to a welcome dinner!Arina hesitated for a moment and said, If Ivy finds out about this, she’ll definitely not let you have a meal alone with me, right?Upon hearing this, Gilmore could barely hold back his laughter.Ivy?She’s missing!Hahaha! She just went missing, and Arina is coming back—this... this is truly divine intervention!Gilmore stood up excitedly from his chair at the barbecue stall and paced back and forth, saying, Don’t worry about Ivy. The relationship between Ivy and me has already broken down. We’re separated now, and she doesn’t interfere with my affairs anymore.Arina asked in surprise, Why are you two separated?Gilmore sighed and said, It’s a long story.After speaking, he quickly ad
Chapter 380 The Old Lover Returns
He downed a glass of beer, then poured another for Alan. While eating skewers, he said: Good son-in-law, no one’s spoiling our mood today—let’s have a good drink together.Alan found it amusing. With Ivy gone, his father-in-law finally felt liberated. He nodded and said: You should also drink in moderation. Too much alcohol is bad for your health.Gilmore laughed loudly and said: When you’re in high spirits due to happy events, you just feel great! Right now, I’m even hoping your mother-in-law got tricked into a pyramid scheme. Anyway, even if she goes in there, she’ll just suffer a bit—she won’t die. If they keep her locked up for three or five years, we can have a few years of peace first.Alan nodded and sighed: I also think that would be nice, but I’m just worried Mia won’t be able to accept it.Gilmore sighed: You’re right. Mia is such a filial kid—too filial, in fact. The problem is, it’s blind filial piety! Does someone like your mother-in-law deserve that kind of filial respec
Chapter 379: The Whole Family Goes Out to Find Ivy
Mia was so anxious that she kept repeating that she wanted to go to the police station. Gilmore, who was standing nearby, said, Oh Mia, your mom is an adult. She might have something to take care of—why do you need to interfere? What if she really wants to leave this family? You can’t ask the police to bring her back by force, can you?How could that be? Mia said seriously. Mom has been looking forward to living in Tomson Yipin for so long, and now we’ve finally moved in. Even if she wanted to leave this family, with her personality, she would never choose to do it at this time! Dad, you’ve lived with Mom for so many years—don’t you know her at all?Gilmore fell into deep thought at once.His daughter’s words had woken him up.What kind of person was Ivy?She was someone with an extremely inflated vanity—so much so that it was off the charts.And she was also someone who dreamed of nothing but enjoying life in comfort.No matter when she might choose to leave home, she would never do it on
Chapter 378: The Vanishing Ivy
Ivy, battered and bruised all over, was now so hungry that her stomach was pressed against her backbone.At noon, Alan had just finished cooking, but she hadn’t even taken a single bite before the police came and arrested her.After being tossed around all afternoon until now, coupled with the fear and beatings she’d endured, her physical strength was completely drained—making her hunger even more intense.So she crawled over cautiously, picked up a lunchbox from the plastic basket, and was about to go eat in the corner when Philippa suddenly shouted at her: Ivy, what do you think you’re doing?Ivy hurried to explain: Sister, I just want to have a bite to eat…Have a bite to eat? Philippa snapped. You unfilial wretch who doesn’t respect her mother-in-law—how dare you even think about eating?!Ivy’s throat tightened instantly, but she had no idea how to answer Philippa’s question.At this point, Philippa scolded in displeasure: Get over here!Ivy could only stagger over to her, bowing a
