Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 124

When Natalie mentioned the word family, Lucas and Liana’s eyes lit up. That was right. Natalie was their family.

Mrs. Lockwood was surprised to see how obedient the children were with Natalie.

Her grandson had always been ill-tempered and volatile. Even psychologists had struggled to make any headway with him.

Yet Natalie could handle him so easily. For that reason alone—her ability to manage her grandson—she was already an exceptional candidate for a daughter-in-law.

Terence approached, his expression cool. “Mom, what are you doing here?”

Mrs. Lockwood patted Terence’s cheek. “My dear son, what do you think I’m doing? Are you that afraid I’ll do something to Natalie?”

She straightened up, her expression bright. “I’m not an old fossil like your grandmother. If you and the children like her, you have my support.”

Just then, the old matriarch walked over. “Who are you calling an old fossil?”

Mrs. Lockwood gave an awkward laugh, having forgotten whose territory she was on.

“Mother, I was just saying you have such a rich sense of history. You’re wise and learned, the very backbone of the Lockwood family.”

“Keep spinning your tales. I can see right through you. Honestly, you’d support them without even knowing anything about this woman’s background. What would this family do without me?”

“You’re right, Mother. We must be thorough and vet her properly. We can’t be careless.”

Natalie felt a little awkward. It seemed the two women hadn't really heard what she was saying. Perhaps she needed to be more direct.
