The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1488

In the living room of the Lu family's house

Melissa was feeling really bored. She continued pressing the TV remote to switch channels, but simply couldn't find anything to watch that interested her.

However, unfortunately she was prohibited to play cards and had no income whatsoever. Even if she really wanted to play cards, she wouldn't be able to because she didn't have any money. That was why she pretended to be ill when she was invited for a game. She wanted to avoid being humiliated.

Thinking about what Sheryl had said to her the other evening, she couldn't help but be angry. How was it possible for Sheryl to criticize her in her own family? She was the hostess of the Lu family after all. Even though she had done something wrong, she was still Charles's mother and had to be respected.

Thinking about it, she gnashed her teeth in anger. She then continued pressing the remote with all of her strength, but still couldn't find a channel that entertained her.

At that very moment, Clark walked by. When he saw Melissa watching TV, he greeted her politely, "Hello, Grandma."

Melissa's anger subsided at the sight of Clark. She waved at him and said affectionately, "Clark, come here. I have a delicious treat for you."

Just as Clark wanted to reply, Shirley suddenly ran out from her room. She shouted loudly while running, "Clark, don't you forget what Mom told us? We're not allowed to eat anything Grandma gives us."

Hearing this, Melissa became even more furious.

She was the grandmother of these two kids. Why couldn't she give her grandchildren something to eat? Was it possible that Sheryl had educated her children privately in this way? Why wasn't she allowed to enjoy equal treatment in her family?

"Oh, Shirley, stop it." Noticing Melissa's facial expression changing, Clark immediately told his sister to stop.

However, Shirley was too young to pick up on social queues and just told Clark what Sheryl had told them in her own understanding way.

"I'm just reminding you not to eat anything Grandma gives us. I think we'd better go upstairs and rest." After her attempt to correct her brother, she was about to pull him and go upstairs as she said.

Witnessing this, Melissa was enraged. She couldn't believe that her own grandchildren were treating her as their enemy. Didn't they think she was soft or had good morals?

In anger, she stood up and took a few steps forward to stop them. She couldn't suppress her feelings any longer and started scolding them, "Shirley, did your mother really tell you that? I'm your grandmother and your elder. You should be kind and filial to me. How could you be so impolite towards me? Now I'm really pissed off."

Melissa didn't mean to come across as harsh, but because her facial expression and tone were too fierce, Shirley got frightened and started to cry out loud.

Seeing his sister cry, Clark was startled too, which was why he lifted his head to shout at Melissa, "Grandma, you shouldn't scare my sister like that. She's still young."

"Did I?" Hearing her grandson blame her, Melissa felt even more furious. Shivering, she said, "How did I scare her? I only recall telling her not to listen to everything her mother says. I'm your grandmother. I would never hurt you. All I did was offer you a treat. Do you really think that I'd poison you?"

Melissa spoke unconsciously in anger.

Hearing this, Shirley cried even louder. She had a high pitched voice and since her voice became louder, everyone in the entire house could hear her cry miserably.
