"Judson, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought them in here, I..." Until the family members all left, Sally said to Judson, with a deep apology on her face.
Judson smiled at Sally and shook his head. He said, “It's okay, Mom. Even if they don't come today, sooner or later, they will come. They are snobs and have been carrying out a moral kidnapping of Diana over the years. There is no family affection of them, but it is ok. They are like a group of bugs sucking blood from Diana!"
Sally agreed with that. She had been married into the family for more than 20 years, but as a daughter-in-law, Old Lady Shaw had oppressed her for more than 20 years. She was angered by the family and then she vented her anger of it to Diana.
Now she had Judson as her son-in-law, she was eager to break off relations with the Shaw family. Anyway, her husband, Diana’s father had been dead for almost two years. She didn't want to see the attitude of the Shaw family anymore, but Diana was too kind.
Judson who was to go upstairs froze as if he had thought of something suddenly. He turned downstairs to Sally and asked with a frown, “Mom, Diana said she wanted to change her surname to Lane? It is the surname of her birth mother. I don't know that. Can you tell me something about it?"
Hearing that, Sally turned pale on face and her eyes instantly became complex. She took a deep breath and sighed.
Seeing that, Judson was more curious. He asked, “What is going on, Mom? Your expression makes me feel unease, is her natural mother still alive?"
“No, she is dead!” Sally's face changed greatly and she blurted it out instantly. Her expression became extremely tense.
Judson took a deep look at Sally. Instinctively, he felt there was something wrong.
Seeing that Judson was staring at her, she had cold sweat on her forehead and said, “She was unfortunate. Rachel Diana’s natural mother is my best girlfriends. We both liked Diana’s father, but he did not choose me. Not long after they were together, Rachel got pregnant, but they had not married yet. When they were to marry, Rachel had premature birth. But at that time the medical conditions were not good. Diana was saved, but Rachel died......"
Sally waved her hand, “Let’s not talk about it, it is too sad. Judson, don't ask it again. We now have a good life..." Sally sighed and then went back to her room.
Judson looked at Sally’s far back, wrinkled her eyebrows deeply, instinctively feeling there was something wrong. But he did not want to go deep, regardless of Diana's mother died or not, he was Diana’s husband. And he was not afraid that if the Lane family come to make a scene!
Judson no longer thought about it, but went upstairs to his bedroom. Diana was not in a good mood, so he had to go to see her.
As he opened the door of the bedroom, Diana with re-makeup smiled at him, pouted and said lovely, “Honey, I am hungry. I spoke too loud and I have no energy......"
Judson was stunned. Shouldn’t Diana shed tears in the quilt? Why did she act like this? He wanted to comfort her, and not it seemed to be unnecessary.
"Diana, are you all right?" Judson asked with concern. He was really afraid that Diana might be too upset. After all, she had just broken off with the Shaw family, even the surname had been changed. But the name of Diana Lane was pretty good.
Diana shook her head and said, "I'm fine. Don't worry about it. A lot of things are not up to me. I lost my dad, and I almost lost you six months ago. Judson, a few days ago when we had the marriage certificate, I wanted to make a clean break with the Shaw family. I have already lost a man who loves me the most, I can't lose you. Honey, I love you, I miss you so much, give me a hug..."
Smiling, Diana opened her arms to Judson. Judson was touched and hugged Diana with a happy smile.
"Honey, my natural mother is dead, my father is gone, and now I have cut off my relationship with the Shaw family. I have no relatives in this world, you can’t bully me, really. I only have you as my family member......" Diana pouted deliberately being pathetic, joking to Judson.
Judson stretched out his hand to scrape Diana's nose. At the moment he was touched. He did not need to say anything but hugged Diana tightly.
After hugging her for a while, he whispered in her ears, “Ok, I promise you, you are the world's most lovely, most beautiful, most sexy, most gentle beauty......"
Judson blew air in Diana ear, which made Diana’s neck red. Diana said to Judson, “Ok, you cannot engage in ambiguous affair with other women!"
