Chapter 220 Pregnant
Elodia paused. Cressida’s tone made her uncomfortable, but she couldn’t say anything.
It was only right for her to pour a cup of tea for her mother–in–law, but Cressida spoke to her in such a tone as if she didn’t want to do her duty and refused to pour tea for her mother–in–law.
Moreover, who was Cressida to order her around?
What status did Cressida have to chastise her?
Elodia lowered her eyes, then she lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Kim.
Kim was looking grim. She picked up the teacup and took a sip. However, when she drank it, she realized that the tea was boiling hot.
Kim threw the teacup on the floor. The hot tea splashed all over the table while the teacup shattered into pieces. Some of the broken pieces flew toward Elodia’s body and face.
Elodia felt a sharp pain on her face. She touched it with her hand, after which it was stained with blood.
Her face was hurt.
“Elodia, is that how you serve tea? It was boiling hot. Couldn’t you have told Aunt Kim that the tea was hot? Did you do it on purpose?”
Cressida frowned, her expression full of suspicion.
“Aunt Kim, don’t be angry. Dad, Mom, and I are fine.”
As Cressida spoke, she poured half a cup of tea for Kim, thereafter she poured some cold water from another pot into the teacup.
“Aunt, drink some tea to calm down.”
Cressida’s mother said, “Kim, have a sip. Look, the temperature of the tea Cressida poured for you is just right, unlike some people who can’t even do something as simple as pouring tea properly.”
Kim’s attitude toward Elodia told the Langley family of her status in the family, so they reprimanded Elodia without holding back.
