The Innocent Wife of Scheming President novel Chapter 366

“It’s too serious to say that. After all, she is Alan Hoyle’s mother, my mother-in-law.”

Chloe Malan snorted, “She doesn’t acknowledge you as her daughter-in-law, why do you want to treat her as mother-in-law?”

“She can not to acknowledge me, but I can’t be unreasonable. As for me, I’m ready to use softness to conquer strength and to use strength to conquer softness. Then, I don’t expect to be an ally with her. But at least we could be friend.” It was even more impossible to have a mother-daughter relationship. She didn’t expect it.

“How?” Chloe Malan was somewhat curious.

Olive Steele patted her head, “Let’s talk about this after you’re done thinking about you and Aoba Hoyle.”

The topic was back to her again. Chloe Malan screamed with pain.

Knowing that Aoba Hoyle had returned, Annie rushed upstairs after returned from school. She played there until dinner time, but there was only her alone.

Mr. Steele weirdly asked, “Where’s your uncle? Why don’t you call him come down for dinner together?”

“He said he’s not hungry now,” Annie answered.

Mrs. Steele said, “That kid couldn’t be keeping distance from us, right?”

After his mother caused trouble, there was still some barriers.

Olive Steele glanced at Chloe Malan. The woman was lowering her head and picking her rice, pretending not to hear. That kid wasn’t keeping distance from us, but he was forced by a certain woman until he didn’t dare to come downstairs to meet them. He was being pitiful alone. She slightly curled her lips, she said to her mother, “Mom, keep some food. Let Annie send them to upstairs.”

“Sure. People can’t function properly on an empty stomach. You will panic if you’re hungry and not eating. Eating something not normal when you’re young will cause a lot of problems when you’re old. All of you have to pay attention too. Don’t just be busy with work and even forget to eat. Olive Steele, your stomach just recovered with difficulty, so don’t fall sick because of overworking,” Mrs. Steele grumbled but there was deep concern between her words.

After dinner, Annie went upstairs to find Aoba Hoyle.

Aoba Hoyle took the warm meal with a warmth in his heart.

The Steele family was warm. No wonder his elder brother was reluctant to leave. Unlike the Hoyle family, there was only one big empty house. Although there were servants, it was still flooded with loneliness everywhere.

Yes. Loneliness. That feeling of death silence was depressing.

Annie was scribbling on his drawing paper. She entered his bedroom while he was eating. She curiously tore open the white cloth on the easel by the bed.

“Wow. You really have a crush on Chloe Mommy. You drew her a portrait. So beautiful.”

Aoba Hoyle squeezed the child’s nose amusedly, “Little girl know what a crush means?”

“It means like. You like that person, but don’t let that person know. But, Uncle, everybody knows you like Chloe Malan. So it’s not a crush, it’s a clear crush.”

The little kid was right. Aoba Hoyle couldn’t help thinking was this kid really only five years old? When he was five, he could only curiously pull little girls’ braids. But looked at his little niece, he was simply a villain.

“Then does Annie think Chloe mommy likes uncle too?”

Annie thought for a while, then said, “I don’t know. Chloe mom never said that. So, you’re very pitiful, uncle. You have unrequited love.”

Hearing the little kid made Aoba Hoyle super depressed. Even a five-year-old kid felt pitiful for him. But that woman couldn’t even feel it.

Seven days a week. He had only been though for one day, and he couldn’t stand wanting to go downstairs and meet her. But he still needed to hold it even if he couldn’t. If he provoked that woman, things would be in chaos again and it would be hard to calm it.

Annie had fallen asleep on a pile of comic books which he bought for her. The little kid read it with great interest. Sometimes she would take his drawing paper and pasted on it to trace the comic characters.

He suddenly thought what a funny thing it would be to have a child as smart as Annie with the woman downstairs. He was just 23 years old, but he suddenly had a feeling wanting to be a father.
