Here she went again. Mrs. Hudson said helplessly, âMadam, how can you say that? Theyâre your children. No children would curse their mother to die. Besides, theyâre the children you raised. You have to believe that the children you raised arenât failures.â
âThe most failure one in this family is me. No one likes me. All of them take me as a burden.â Staring at a house with only a few servants left, the old lady inevitable felt desolate.
âMadam, Iâll say something I shouldnât say. Youâre to be blamed a little in this situation,â Mrs. Hudson looked at her face carefully.
âArenât they all blaming me now?â Mrs. Hoyle mocked herself.
âMadam, you have a stern face on every day. Even if young master and young lady are willing to come home, theyâll hide when they see you like this. Madam, Iâve worked in this family for more than 30 years. Iâve watched you join the family and lived harmoniously with master, you gave birth to two young masters and young lady. Then, master left. The Hoyle went through another storm. Youâve survived strongly. Now is the time to leave a stable life and enjoy it with your family. How come youâve become this moody? Youâre the backbone of this family. You should have the warmth of a family, but it has become cold now. Is there a meaning for you to be like this?â This was the first time Mrs. Hudson, who usually didnât talk much, daringly said so many words from the bottom of her heart to her.
âThen you mean, you ask me to apologize to them and admit my mistakes?â Mrs. Hoyle asked with a cold face.
Mrs. Hudson hurriedly replied, âI donât mean that, Madam.â
âThen what do you mean?â
âI mean, you donât need to apologize specifically. From now on, treat them kinder a little, just like in the past, be in harmony. Donât lose your temper all the times, then sincerely accept young masterâs wife. I think mistress is actually quite nice and capable. Sheâs worthy of the young master. As long as youâre willing to accept her, I believe sheâll be filial to you,â Mrs. Hudson said heartily.
Mrs. Hoyle sighed, âYes. Sheâs quite capable. She snatches my son away and refuses to give me my granddaughter. How happy she is now? She must be proud.â
Mrs. Hudson wanted to say that this was the same old her, but she didnât say it out loud in the end. âI believe mistress isnât that kind of a personâ¦â
âRight!â Mrs. Hoyle suddenly yelled. âShe snatches my son away and robs my granddaughter. She still owes me a grandson. Mrs. Hudson, go. Ask Butler Dcbo buy a ticket to go to Luo City for me. I have to find her for asking my grandson. Iâll go up and pack some clothes.â
âAh, Madam, wait a minute.â Mrs. Hudson stopped the old lady who got up in a hurry and forced her back to her seat. âYou want a grandson?â
âOf course. She owes me this.â
âThen you canât go now.â
âWhy canât I?â
âIf you go there, she canât give birth a grandson for you now, can she? She still has to be pregnant for ten months first.â How could she be so impatient for a grandson?
Mrs. Hoyle slowly calmed down. Actually, sometimes she didnât want to lose her temper, but she couldnât control herself. As if there was a devil living in her body.
âThen, what do you think I shall do?â
âMadam, you still want to retain your reputation, right?â
âOf course.â No matter what, she was still their mother. But now, there was no reputation to hold in this family. It was all swept away and no one was willing to listen to her.
âAlthough mistress had sincerely invited you to Luo City, if you want to maintain your reputation, you really canât go there now. If you go there now, isnât this mean a tantamount to being frustrated or raising a white flag to the mistress? Your heart is eager, but you canât show it. You have to carry it.â Mrs.
Hudson considered that if the old lady ran to there now, it would stir trouble if Olive couldnât get pregnant with her grandson.
Mrs. Hoyle thought for a while and felt that what she said was a little reasonable. So, she asked, âThen, when should I go there?â
Seeing her heart was moved, Mrs. Hudson smiled. She walked to behind her and massaged her shoulders.
âDonât be impatient, Madam. Eldest young masterâs wedding date is in August which will be Valentineâs Day. Be patient for a few months. They wonât not invite you, right? For you to go there and ask them to invite you, it has different meaning, right?â
âYouâre right. But when I thought my sonâs wedding is actually held on that womanâs side, it upsets me.â
Without knowing it, Mrs. Hoyle blabbered out what was in her heart.
âThatâs simple. If you really feel that you can accept his wife, then you can hold one more, which is livelier, in Jiangcheng. I believe eldest young master definitely wonât object and mistress will thank you too. At that time, maybe she already has your little grandson in her belly if you count the time. Even if she isnât pregnant, youâve accepted her to join the family. Annie has her last name. She would think of you and try to give you a grandson with your last name, right?â
âI hope so.â Mrs. Hoyle patted her shoulder with her fist. âYouâre usually so silent. I never expect youâre quite smart.â
âMadam, your mood is better now. Eat some food. Iâll accompany you for a stroll to have a breath of fresh air later, okay?â Mrs. Hudson picked up the chopsticks on the table and tried to put it in her hand.
This old lady needed to be coaxed.
Mrs. Hoyle took a deep breath, âFine. I donât have an appetite, but Iâll eat some. I have to save some energy so that I can hold my grandson.â
âIndeed. Madam, youâll be full of children and grandchildren by then,â Mrs. Hudson said with a smile.
In fact, it wasnât that she was smart. She was afraid that the madamâs early appearance would disrupt young master and mistressâ wedding.
This family hadnât been happy for too long.
Olive ate her dinner, took a shower, and then went to bed. She didnât know what happened these days.
She felt to be very sleepy. She wondered if it was because of the summer and people tended to get tired.
When she fell asleep in the middle of the night, she felt a kind of irritated heat all over her body.
Her body seemed to be pressed by a person and she subconsciously pushed it away with her hands.
Her hands were against a firm chest. She already thought of somebody.
