The Innocent Wife of Scheming President novel Chapter 481

Olive Steele smiled, “your mother is not a monster. She won’t eat people. Don’t worry.”

Alan Hoyle was not worried about anything else. He was afraid that his mother would behave ugly, unreasonable, and unforgiving. Although Olive Steele was smiling, but deep inside her heart, she felt uncomfortable. She was not a kind of person who liked to talk about her grievances.

But, obviously Olive Steele had something to say. She put down her chopstick and smiled at Mrs. Hoyle, “will you allow me the honor?”

Mrs. Hoyle said flatly, “Is there something you cannot say at this table?”

“Are you afraid to be alone with me for a while?” Olive Steele deliberately provoked her.

Sure enough, the old lady’s face sank. A threat was an invitation for her. She stood up, “Do you think I’m afraid of you? Come with me. As for the rest of you, just sit down here. Don’t think you can impress me just because you manage to hook my son around your little fingers.”

Olive Steele never thought that a few words would move the stubborn old lady. She followed her upstairs.

People in the dining room looked at each other. Alan Hoyle watched his wife leaving and lost in his own thought.

Aoba Hoyle kicked his brother’s foot under the table, “Brother, what do you think sister-in-law will say to mom?”

“If you listen, you will know.” Ada Hoyle replied.

Finally, three of them followed upstairs stealthily.

Soon, three ears were attached to the door of the study. Annie pushed their legs apart and did the same, but she couldn’t hear a word.

She poked Alan Hoyle and asked, “Dad, do you think grandma will do something bad to mom?”

Alan Hoyle stroked her head while Ada Hoyle quickly put her fingers over the little girl’s mouth. She hissed and told her to shut up.

The conversation inside lasted for almost half an hour. No one knew what they were talking about. The door was suddenly opened and people standing at the door fell back.

Alan Hoyle was quick-witted. He held the door frame and grabbed Annie, but the other two weren’t so lucky. They stumbled and fell back. Olive Steele gasped.

Mrs. Hoyle looked at her children on the floor and frowned.

Ada Hoyle with the help of her younger brother got up and rubbed her nose. She tried to ease the awkward atmosphere, “Mom, can’t you open the door slowly? You’re hurting me!”

“You deserve it.” Mrs. Hoyle said coldly, but her face eased a lot. She said to Olive Steele, “Remember to keep your words.”

Olive Steele smiled gently, “I don’t make promises easily. Once I promise, I make sure to keep it. It takes patience to get something, Mrs. Hoyle.”

“Mommy, why are you talking in codes?” Annie said with her head lifted.

Even children knew that they were talking about something, not to mention adults. Alan Hoyle looked at the old lady warily and turned his eyes back to his wife.

“What did you say to her?”

Ada Hoyle said, “If she could tell you, she wouldn’t have bothered to talk to mother alone.”

Olive Steele smiled when she saw his nervous appearance, “Don’t worry. Nothing can stop me from being with you now.”

“You once said that you will never leave, but you did.” Alan Hoyle was still haunted by the five years of separation. It made him skeptical.

Olive Steele patted his chest, “I had to do it, okay?”

“Will it happen for the second time?”

“I—”

Alan Hoyle snorted coldly, glanced at the back of his mother downstairs and looked at Olive Steele again, “If you ever run away again, I will chase you, and lock you up with a chain; one on your hand and one on mine so that I know where you’re going.”

Ada Hoyle had goosebumps and poked Aoba Hoyle, “How is it possible to flirt and threat at the same time? Bro, you have learn from big brother more.”

By the time everyone went downstairs, the food served earlier were cold. The old lady asked the maids to reheat it. It meant that they had to continue to eat.

Olive Steele sat down and smiled brightly at the old lady.
