Chapter 1993 Humiliation
The hand that Kaylee used to hold the fork had turned pale, showing the immense strength she was applying.
She secretly made a vow in her heart.
The day the offspring insect enters Julia’s body will be the day these people can no longer be complacent.
Bella put down her fork, turned to Julia, and with a slightly coquettish tone, she said, “Grandma, are you implying that your granddaughter is boring? Can’t I keep you company?”
Before Julia could respond, Bella spoke again. “When you asked me to move back here, it wasn’t like this. You said that once I returned, you wouldn’t be bored. Having someone to talk to is always good. Who would have thought that you’d grow tired of your granddaughter so quickly?”
With a smile, Julia tapped Bella’s forehead affectionately and said, “Stop being a monkey, causing a fuss here. Don’t you know the basic etiquette of not talking while eating and before sleeping? Ms. Knapp is your sister-in-law’s lifesaver, and now she has nowhere to go. It’s only right for us to take her in.. When have I ever said I was fed up with you?”
Based on Julia’s response, it seemed as if Bella was being scolded for her lack of manners, but wasn’t it also implying that Kaylee lacked manners as well? By addressing Elisa as Bella’s sister-in-law, her status was emphasized, and the use of the term “take her in” reiterated Kaylee’s position. Julia was truly eloquent.
Upon hearing Julia’s words, Bella smiled happily.
Just like that, she agreed with her grandmother.
However, after finishing the meal, Kaylee insisted on washing the dishes.
Julia made a couple of polite remarks but didn’t genuinely try to stop her.
Watching Kaylee’s diligent demeanor, Bella said with a meaningful tone, “What a pity that Gareth rarely comes back.”
Kaylee’s smile became somewhat stiff as she explained, “I’m not here for Gareth. I know where I stand, and I’m not worthy of him. Besides, he’s with Ms. Benett. They are a perfect match. How could I possibly come between them?”
Bella raised an eyebrow. “Well, I wasn’t pitying you, you know.”
Kaylee realized that she had jumped the gun, which made it seem like a clear indication of guilt on her
part.
However, resentment toward Bella had also taken root in her heart. Kaylee secretly vowed that if she ever got the chance, she would deal with her first.
