A Night with Her Cruel Mate novel Chapter 140

"Terence, you're back!" When Sandra saw Terence, her face lit up. Although she didn't like Simon, she had always spoiled her grandson. She had favored Terence since he was a child.

As such, Sandra and Terence had a good relationship.

"Grandma!" At the sight of his grandmother's face, Terence's expression softened. Since Sandra was old, he didn't want her to worry much about him.

"Today's not a good day. Why didn't you have more rest in your bed?" As Terence spoke, he approached Sandra. Then, he held her hand and assisted her in sitting down on the sofa.

"How can I fall asleep?" Sandra sighed and looked at Terence with worry. "I heard you quarreling with your mother so early in the morning. I'm worried about you. Terence, tell me, did your mother bully you again?"

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Tina frowned and looked at Sandra with disbelief. "I'm just teaching my son how to be a good man. Don't be so unreasonable."

"Humph!" Sandra sneered. "Teaching him how to be a good man? What's wrong with my grandson? He is already a good man. In my opinion, you are not as good as my dear grandson."

"Mom!" When she saw that Sandra was defending Terence, Tina became upset. "You're spoiling Terence too much! You should at least take half of the responsibility for what he has become."

"Don't talk nonsense." Sandra took Terence's hand. "My grandson is respectful and capable. I am proud of him."

A determined expression painted her face. "If anyone dares to say otherwise, she will be against me. Do you understand?"

"Grandma." Originally, it was an argument between Terence and Tina. He just said a few words out of anger, but Sandra was now blaming his mother. He didn't have the heart to see Tina and Sandra quarrelling. As such, he said to Sandra, "Don't worry. It's not a big deal. I just haven't come back for a long time. My mother said that I'm not filial. There's nothing else."

"Really?" Sandra asked suspiciously.

"Yes, Grandma." Terence gave Sandra a slight nod. "When did I lie to you?"

"That's true. You are an honest kid," Sandra said with satisfaction. "I understand you are busy with your work. If you don't have time, you don't have to come to visit me frequently. Just take good care of yourself, okay?"

With a warm smile on his face, Terence nodded. "Don't worry, Grandma. I will." When he was about to leave, Sandra continued, "You seem to be thinner than last time I saw you. Are you eating well? Julia doesn't know how to take care of you at all. She will only make trouble for you. I didn't like her since the beginning. It was only appropriate for you to divorce her."

Sandra patted the back of Terence's hand as she looked at him with tender eyes. "Since you're divorced, you can just find a better woman in the future."

When she heard Sandra's words, Tina became enraged. At that moment, she wanted to argue with Sandra. Fortunately, Simon grabbed Tina's hand and shook his head slightly, signaling to her not to be impulsive. Terence also frowned and stood up. "Grandma, I have to go. There will be a meeting at the company later."

He knew that if he stayed any longer, Tina would inevitably argue with Sandra. At that time, it would be difficult for Simon. Therefore, he found an excuse so that he could leave. "I will come to see you again after I finish my work."

"Okay." With a big smile on her face, Sandra accompanied Terence to the door. She didn't go back to her room until she saw his car drive away.

Tina still wanted to argue with Sandra, but Simon pulled her upstairs. A resentful expression painted Tina's face. "Why did you pull me away? She is getting old and confused. I have to reason with her today."
