Aubree walked out of the house without looking back.
Jennifer was about to follow her when her arm was grabbed by Ivan. She stopped.
He was worried about her.
"It's okay." Jennifer looked at him with an elegant smile. "She won't eat me alive."
Then, she put down his hand.
Walking out of the house, Jennifer smelled the fragrance of flowers in the air. The clouds were high up in the sky. Everything was so quietly beautiful here, but Aubree had been letting the past haunt her.
Ivan took the kids to the yard to play games, but in fact, he was here to keep an eye on Aubree and Jennifer.
In the yard, the path made of cobblestone lay on the grass land. At the end of the path, there was a three-step staircase, leading to a wooden-floored balcony. There were vines, neatly-trimmed plants, sofa and end table there.
Aubree sat on the sofa, waring thick clothes and a tailored big hat.
Jennifer stood opposite her and was scrutinizing her.
"Sit." Aubree didn't want to ask her to sit down, but the hat blocked her sight, making it hard for her to look up at Jennifer.
Jennifer could feel Aubree's hostility towards her, but she sat down calmly.
"I like Alfie and Diana, but not you," Aubree said, making it rather clear.
"I know," Jennifer said in a low voice. "You always regard Catherine as your daughter-in-law, but unfortunately, she isn't."
Aubree raised her voice, "Are you showing off in front of me?"
"Not really, I just want you to realize the reality," Jennifer smiled and said indifferently, "It was your son's idea to get married with me."
Aubree was dissatisfied. "Someday, Ivan will know that an unmatched marriage is a complete joke."
Not far away from them, Ivan stood there and watched.
Although he didn't know what they were talking about, he knew that Aubrey wouldn't be nice to Jennifer.
He saw that Jennifer sat there straight. He didn't know what she had said to Aubree.
"You are not welcomed here and you're not allowed here anymore." Aubree didn't want to say anything more to Jennifer and glanced at her coldly.
Jennifer had wanted to say something more when Aubree snorted, stood up and left.
