A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 144

Linda felt a little uncomfortable. With an awkward smile, she said, "Well... Maybe we can talk about this later."

"We can't wait any longer. I brought Charles to the world when I was only 23! You..."

Fortunately, Charles interrupted Violet before she could finish. Wrapping an arm around Linda's shoulders, Charles said, "Mother, isn't it time to eat? Let's have dinner."

"You only care about your wife, and not about your mother. I don't want to talk to you." Huffing angrily, Violet left to wash her hands and prepare for dinner.

"Violet is quite a woman. She didn't mean to offend you. Don't mind her, Linda." James stood up, patting Linda's shoulder with a reassuring smile.

"It doesn't matter, father."

At the Dinner Table.

Since Charles and Linda had joined them for dinner, the family had prepared a sumptuous feast. More than a dozen dishes were prepared on the table.

Linda began to worry when she heard the chefs were still cooking in the kitchen. "How can four people eat so much?"

Meanwhile, James opened a bottle of wine.

Linda seldom drank, But she heard that wine was good for women's health. After half a glass, her face turned a little red and she started feeling lightheaded. Charles steadied her when she wobbled in her seat.

Violet frowned at this, "Linda, you have to drink more in the future. If you go to banquets with Charles, what will you do if you get invited to drink?"

"I know, mother." Linda felt a little annoyed, but she didn't dare talk back and stick her tongue out.

"Mother, don't push her so hard. It doesn't matter that she can't hold her alcohol. Who would dare force my wife to drink?"

"Indeed, it's not bad that girls don't drink." James whispered in a low voice as he ate peanuts.

Violet was infuriated by the comment and said, "James, what are you saying? If you don't like girls who drink, then why did you marry me? Why didn't you marry someone who couldn't drink!"

Linda and Charles exchanged amused looks. They could see their father and mother got along well.

"Father, let's go to fishing someday." Charles interjected.

"Fishing? Why are you suddenly interested in fish?"

Charles looked at Linda and smiled, "I haven't spent much time with Linda recently. I want to take her out to fish and grow vegetables to experience your daily life."

"No problem, let's go next week."

Linda and Charles spent the night in the ancestral house of Mu Clan after dinner.

Charles' room was organized because it was regularly cleaned by servants. Lying on the sofa, Linda drank the bird's nest soup that was sent to up her as she?watched Charles work.
