The crowd's expression became increasingly complicated. From the situation, they could tell that Monica had approved of Linda as her future daughter-in-law, but Julia didn't.
As much as Monica was influential in the family, Julia had a higher status.
And so, it would be a challenge for Linda to marry Gareth.
At that moment, Linda couldn't help cursing Julia inwardly although she was usually polite toward the elders.
This old woman is purposely embarrassing me in front of the public!
Taking a deep breath, Linda tried to keep her shirt on and uttered with a smile, "Yeah, you're indeed strong and healthy, Grandma. Mr. and Mrs. Wickam just want to ensure your safety and are worried that you might fall."
On the other hand, Monica regained her composure too and said, "Mom, please don't be so stubborn. You're advanced in age and should be more careful."
Julia waved her hand casually. Seeing that, the guests came forward to wish Julia a happy birthday. Sure enough, Julia was pleased by these honey-tongued guests.
"Haha! You guys made it sound as if I'm only eighteen this year." Julia's tone became more alleviated.
When she turned and saw Elisa gazing at her with a smile from the side, she waved at Elisa. "Hey girl, you're here! Why didn't you come and help me?"
Elisa was startled. She knew Julia said so to embarrass Linda in the public and show support for her.
Elisa inhaled before walking up to Julia with a smile. "That's because I know you're strong, Grandma."
"Even your dear Mrs. Wickam cares for me and is worried that I'll fall, but look at you. I've doted on you for nothing these years!"
