Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection (PDF) novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225 Embarrassment 

“Gianna, shut up,” Emma, usually of a very good temper, suddenly raised her voice, her face turned cold, and she glared at her, “I brought you to the Hinton family, not for you to cause trouble. If you don’t want to stay, leave now.” 

Seeing that she was thoroughly angry, Gianna pursed her lips, a face full of defiance, her voice choked, “Cousin…” 

The atmosphere at the table became somewhat subdued after Gianna announced that Walter and I were already divorced. The old lady, after hearing her words, looked at us with a pair of cloudy eyes and silenced Emma’s angry emotions, saying, “Emma, don’t be harsh on her.” 

After speaking, the old lady looked at me and Walter, and said, “Walter, Tabatha, what on earth is going on? You two are divorced? When did this happen?”. 

Everything had been laid bare. I pursed my lips slightly, thinking that perhaps it wasn’t such a bad thing to speak up now. I took a breath and looked at the old lady, “Grandma, Walter and I indeed…” 

“Grandma, we’ve always been fine,” Walter interrupted, his face cold as he glanced at Gianna. His voice was low as he continued, “We’re getting a divorce? As the parties involved, we didn’t know you were so detailed. What? Did you handle this divorce? This lie that you just blurted out, Jacob has indeed raised you well.” 

This remark, was hard to hear. 

Especially coming from a well-mannered person like Walter, it was not ordinarily offensive. 

Gianna’s face turned red in an instant, tears stuck in her eyes, fear and embarrassment all written on her face. A face that was not so 

outstanding to begin with, looked even more unpleasant at that 

moment. 

Hearing his harsh words, the old lady slightly furrowed her brows. After all, Gianna was a guest. She spoke up, “Walter, she’s just a child. Speak to her nicely.” 

Walter put on a serious face, looking at Emma and said, “Sister-in-law, it’s getting late. Odin is free now, I’ll have him take her home so her family won’t worry.” 

This was outright driving people away. 

He really was quite embarrassing. 

Emma looked at Gianna with a hint of helplessness, gave a slight nod, and said to Walter, “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Walter.” 

“Cousin.” Being sent back like this, Gianna turned pale, looking at Emma and trying to say something. 

Emma looked at her and said, “I’ll call your parents in a bit, you should go home early, don’t let them worry.” 

The conversation had already reached this point, let alone the fact that there were so many people sitting here. Even if Gianna had a thick skin, she had no choice but to leave. 

Ignoring all manners, he stood up directly, gave me a fierce glare, and 

then left the restaurant. 

Watching her leave, everyone’s faces also didn’t look too good. This was supposed to be a nice meal, but it had been ruined. No one really had the appetite to eat anymore.

For a moment, they all closed their mouths and ate quietly. 

After dinner, the old lady didn’t say much. She just called me and Walter into her yard alone. 

The old lady’s yard was spacious, and there was a huge stove in the house, which was very warm. 

Sitting around the stove, the old lady looked at us and said to Walter, “Walter, you tell me, what exactly was that Zhao kid talking about just 

now?”
