Chapter 111
Barbara’s face instantly showed anger, her wrinkled features hardening. “That brat! I’ve told him before that a wife should be cherished, not bullied. He dares to bully you? I’ll call him right now!”
She reached for her phone, which she always wore around her neck. It was an old–fashioned button phone with speed dial, and she quickly called Lucas.
“Grandma.” Lucas’s warm, magnetic voice came through the phone.
Barbara glanced at Aveline, who put a finger to her lips, signaling her not to mention her presence.
“Where are you, Lucas?”
Lucas replied, “I’m at home. Do you miss me, Grandma?”
Barbara huffed. “I miss you? Do you miss me? When was the last time you visited me?”
Lucas said, “I’ve been a bit busy lately. I’ll come over right now.”
Barbara responded, “Good, I’ll be waiting!”
She hung up and smiled at Aveline. “Just wait, I will get revenge for you!”
Aveline hugged Barbara. “Grandma, why are you so good to me?”
Though they had never met before, but after their first encounter, Barbara had taken to her instantly, always smiling and treating her warmly.
For Aveline, who had never experienced familial love, this was a magical feeling. It felt like Barbara was her biological grandmother,
not Lucas‘.
Barbara hugged her back. “Because I like you the best!”

Aveline’s heart softened, and she suddenly felt a pang of guilt for using Barbara to get back at Lucas. Maybe this wasn’t the right thing to do.
