“Mom, things aren’t the way you think they are…”
“Who are you calling mom?” Wren asked straightforwardly. “Although you are married to Eric and your marriage is recognized by the law, I still have the right to reject you in my heart.”
“Then, there’s nothing for me to say,” Emma’s exp**ssion became icy cold as she responded.
“Do you really like acting so much that you can’t wait until your child is born before you go out and flaunt yourself?”
Hearing these words, Emma reminded herself that this was Eric’s mother and she should keep tolerating her. But, this was until Wren said, “I won’t allow it!”
“You’re micro-managing too much,” Emma replied bluntly before closing the bedroom door.
As a result, Emma felt that she could no longer live under the same roof as Wren.
She had to think of a flawless solution.
Afterwards, Emma gave Herman a phone call, “Herman, your sister is in a predicament. Can you do me a favor?”
“Sis…my injuries haven’t fully healed yet.”
“Great, you can take this opportunity to recover,” Emma replied.
“Fine, tell me what I need to do.” Herman’s phone was currently set on hands-free because his hands were occupied by a bowl of chicken soup from Quenlyn.
Emma explained what she needed from Herman. Hearing the amusing plan Quenlyn immediately volunteered to join in, “I’ll move over too…”
“You?” Herman looked at her in doubt, “With what identity?”
“Your wife,” Quenlyn blurted out.
Both parties froze as Emma laughed on the other end of the phone, “In that case, both of you can move over here together.”
Afterwards, Emma gave Eric a phone call. She did not explain the argument she had with Wren, she simply informed him that Herman would be moving in for a few days to help with his recovery and to keep her company.
Eric could immediately tell that Emma was planning something, so his l*ps curved up into a smile, “As long as you’re happy.”
However, as soon they both put down their phones, Eric’s gaze became dark and cold. If Wren didn’t do something too extreme, Emma would not be thinking of a way to avoid her.
However, Emma did not explain a thing…
To help things progress smoothly, Eric directly headed to the hospital after work and brought Herman and Quenlyn back to Hyatt Regency.
Wren was the only one in the living room as she watched the trio walk in questioningly. However, Quenlyn directly walked over to her and said, “Is this Auntie Hoey? You look elegant and appear to take good care of yourself…I heard you work with biotechnology. I highly worship you, do you accept apprentices?”
Faced with Quenlyn’s series of questions, Wren looked at her confusedly and awkwardly. After quite some time, Quenlyn finally introduced herself, “My name is Quenlyn and I am the chairwoman of Xylander Corps. I am Herman’s wife and I refer to Eric as my brother-in-law.”
Wren placed her confused gaze upon Eric and saw him respond with a nod, “Herman is injured and isn’t well. He will be staying here for a few days.”
Wren appeared like she wanted to say something, but Quenlyn spoke up first, “Don’t worry auntie, we won’t overstay our welcome. We have more than enough self-awareness. Otherwise, brother-in-law will definitely kick us out.”
Actually, Quenlyn was ridiculing Wren when she mentioned ‘overstaying her welcome’.
Of course, because of her dislike towards Emma, Wren couldn’t get herself to like anyone from the Miller Family either.
“Doesn’t the Miller Family have a house? What about the Xylander Family, I’m sure they have space for you to stay.”
“We are family, isn’t it great to have a lively reunion? I heard that Mr. Roborts bought auntie a house in Hyatt Regency, but I don’t see you moving out. It must be because you can’t bear to part with Mr. Roborts and Emma, as well as their soon-to-be-born baby.”
Wren was rendered speechless by Quenlyn. After taking a deep breath, she uncrossed her arms and walked off into her own room.
Seeing this, Herman raised a thumb at Quenlyn, “You are amazing…”
“I got it from Turquoise.”
It seemed, all the years that Turquoise spent in the Xylander Household wasn’t completely of no benefit to Quenlyn. She at least learned a few useful tricks.
“The two of you can sleep in the other guest room tonight,” Eric directly said to the couple.
“Does Mr. Roborts only have one room left?” Although Quenlyn was certain of her relationship with Herman, it didn’t mean that she wanted to progress so quickly.
“So what if it’s one room. In my current state, it’s not like I can transform into a wolf. If you’re so uncomfortable with it, you can place a bowl of water bet**en us,” Herman looked at Quenlyn weakly.
Quenlyn took a deep breath and waved her hands, “Forget it. Perhaps I’ll be the one that takes advantage of you.”
“Do whatever you want, just don’t disturb us upstairs and don’t prevent Emma from getting sleep…”
“Don’t worry, brother-in-law,” Herman promised in seriousness.
“I never knew that Mr. Roborts would have a mother like this when he dotes on Emma so much. Luckily, Emma isn’t the type of person that endures whatever is thrown at her. Otherwise, how tough would her days be?” Quenlyn said as she leaned into Herman’s shoulder, “So, to achieve our motive as soon as possible, let’s create a huge disturbance tonight.”
“How?”
“Let’s play ‘that’ kind of cl*p…”
Quenlyn’s face turned slightly red as she made this suggestion. As a woman, she was obviously embarrassed. Especially since the cl*p would be playing while she shared a room with a man.
“Oh, forget it…it’s too awkward…”
“No, I think it’s a pretty good idea,” Herman chuckled, “If we don’t use special methods, how can we make a surprising victory?”
“What if you get some weird ideas about me?” Quenlyn covered herself with her arms.
“For some reason I feel like that’s what you want.”
Quenlyn couldn’t beat Herman when it came to t**sing, so Quenlyn could only turn away and sneak a smile as her face turned red.
…
Upstairs, as Emma watched Eric enter the bedroom, she couldn’t help but ask, “Are they here?”
“As you expected, they helped you win the first battle,” Eric took off his jacket and sat down on the bed as he replied to Emma.
“Do you think I’ve gone too far?”
“What kind of disgusting words did she say to you earlier?” Eric asked as he looked into Emma’s eyes.
Emma froze. She never expected that Eric would directly interrogate her about it.
“Words that couldn’t hurt me…”
“Whether they hurt or not is not for you to say, but for me to determine,” Eric said in a firm and domineering voice. “You are married to me, so it is my responsibilty to protect you. Even if she’s my mom, it’s not reason enough for you to get hurt. So, tell me what she said.”
After hearing this, Emma brushed her hand across the back of Eric’s hand and smiled, “It’s nothing major. It’s just a few bad-sounding phrases.”
As Eric listened to Emma, his eyes darkened dramatically…
…
That night.
Herman lay in the unfamiliar bed as he watched Quenlyn come out from the bathroom. It turned out, Quenlyn enjoyed wearing activewear before going to sleep. Although her body wasn’t extremely great, she still exuded the unique essence of a woman, making Herman’s heart jump and mind wander.
“What are you looking at?” Quenlyn asked as she dried her hair with a towel.
At this time, Herman did not avoid the question as he directly answered, “You look good!”
“I have scars all over my body. What’s so good about it?” Quenlyn tried to cover her scars.
“The scars are a part of you.”
“Stop talking nonsense. We came here for an important mission,” Quenlyn said before she moved away from the bed and walked over to the television. A moment later, scenes that made people blush started playing on the screen.
