As Rose walked in through the door, she only heard the last few words that Lola said, "...not call grandma..."
Immediately, she got furious and yelled at her, "What were you talking about? Why won't you allow Nicole to call me? Were you keeping her away from me?"
Lola looked at the angry Rose very helplessly. She wanted to explain something, yet she didn't know how to address her. It was because it was too early to call her Mom, so maybe just call her aunt first. "Aunt, you misunderstood me. I was asking Nicole... "
"You shut up! I have heard what you said, so there will be no use to explain anything!" Rose interrupted Lola rudely and her sharp voice drew the attention of her father-in-law and her husband, who were both staying at the living room.
"What happened?" Together with Kevin, Harry's grandfather walked toward the door of the living room on his crutches.
How come that the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law has started to dislike each other even before Lola actually married into their family.
"I am sorry, grandpa and uncle. But it's not a big deal. Aunt just kind of misunderstood me." Lola took a deep breath, thinking that she had to put up with her mother-in-law for the sake of the man she loved. She had to go through this.
At that time, Harry also came in with the presents that Lola had bought for everyone.
Seeing people gathering at the door and noticing the angry face of Rose, he almost could figure out what had happened. His mother was really like that.
"Didn't you let us come back for supper? Then what's with this commotion?" He asked Rose in a distant voice and held Lola's shoulders, clearly showing who he supported.
Seeing her son's action, Rose was so angry that she wanted to tear Lola into pieces!
Her son was really fascinated by this woman, yet this woman still had uncertain relationships with the ex-president Thomas Herren and the son of the Lu family! No, she would expose Lola's true identity to her son!
"Harry, this woman actually told Nicole not to call me grandma. So, whose fault was it? Don't you blame it on me." She didn't intend to let the thing go. Even though her daughter-in-law wasn't Yolanda, it would never be Lola Li! She wouldn't allow that to happen!
Harry looked down to watch the woman in his arms, and asked: "What really happened here? Was that true?"
Lola tried to explain her side. After that, Harry led Lola towards the living room, directly ignoring Rose who apparently didn't believe what Lola said. Harry thought that her mother's mind was already closed at that time.
Nicole was also taken into the living room and was looking back to see the furious Rose, wondering why her granny talked to her mommy like that.
"Lola's still young, so don't haggle over every ounce with her." Staring at his wife, Kevin couldn't understand why she disliked Lola so much.
"Still young? She's almost thirty. Not young at all. Even though she's still young, should I have to put up with all her shortcomings?" Rose didn't put her voice down and never cared whether her words may be heard by the others.
Kevin looked at his wife deeply and knew that it was all his fault that he spoiled her into an unreasonable person. Ignoring her, Kevin just turned around and went to the living room.
As people all turned a blind eye to her, Rose felt awkward to stand at the door alone. So she closed the villa gate and just went to the living room.
On the table.
"Nicole, I cooked this vegetable pancake for you. Try it! I know this fish is your favorite too so have a taste..." Rose wished she could give all the best things to Nicole.
Seeing granny refill her bowl, Nicole didn't say anything. She thought of what she was supposed to do if she doesn't want to eat them.
"Nicole, what's wrong?" Lola asked her curiously. She was sitting next to her, and she noticed that Nicole didn't bother to even lift her spoon.
Nicole looked at her mommy and said, "Mommy, I want to eat the food you give me! It's more delicious." Last time, granny said she would find a new mother for her. Nicole hated her for that.
Rose looked at her granddaughter in shock. What was going on? Nicole liked to play with her before, right?
