Cathy had been crying in Amy's room for a long time. Amy and Hilary were both comforting her.
"Amy, don't you think it's unfair to me? I'm the head of this family. But no one told me that she was coming." Cathy held onto Amy's hand.
Amy glanced at Hilary. She knew that Addy's arrival must be embarrassing, but she didn't know why Halbert would agree.
No matter what, he should discuss it with Cathy before making a decision. However, Halbert was an elder. Amy could not bad-mouth him, so she could only comfort Cathy.
"Mom, maybe Dad has some difficulties," Amy said.
"Mom, you know that my dad loves you the most. They must have instigated him to do so." Hilary tried to comfort Cathy as well.
"He didn't even tell me about his ex-wife's coming. I don't believe he loves me. They will reunite as a family. Am I the unnecessary person?" Cathy was so angry that she wanted to go back to her mother's house, but she was afraid that her child would be wronged.
"No, no, you're the one who has the final say in our family. You just have to provide for one more person." None of them knew what they were discussing yesterday.
"Forget it. I will wait and see. Your grandpa is sick. I can't cause too much trouble. I'm afraid that it will affect your grandpa's health. Grandpa won't hold on for a long time. If your grandma keeps acting recklessly, I don't know what will happen to your grandpa." Cathy's bark was worse than her bite.
Although she was furious, she still thought about John. She was afraid that John would not be able to take it, so she had to hold back grievances.
Halbert slapped Halbert in the face. Halbert, 50 years old, did not expect his father would slap him.
However, after the slap, he had to immediately support John. John was exasperated.
"Halbert, are you stupid? How can you allow your mother to make trouble? You even agree to take Addy in. Have you discussed with Cathy?" John pounded the walking stick against the ground.
"No, Dad, I..." Halbert was having a hard time. His mother was happy, but his wife and father were angry.
"Cathy is in charge of this house. She is your wife, but you don't even have the least bit of respect for her! After your mother came, she caused a lot of trouble to the family. Cathy is in a difficult situation. You even want to take your ex-wife in. Do you want to make things difficult for your family?" John blew his beard in rage.
"Dad, don't be angry. Don't be angry. Things have gone so far. There's nothing we can do about it." The two children had gone to pick up Addy, so he couldn't call them and told them not to pick Addy up. John was in a dilemma.
"I'm not angry. I'm dying. I just feel sorry for Cathy for what she is being through. Talk to her!" Get out. I don't want to see you. From today onwards, deliver all my meals to my room. I don't want to see you!" John chased Halbert out with his walking stick.
As soon as Halbert left, John had a servant close the door. It seemed that the family would be thrown into turmoil.
Halbert stood at John's door. He regretted it. Last night, he agreed to his mother's request without careful consideration. Now both Cathy and his father snubbed him. He did regret it!
