Chapter 1131

"Exactly," Shannon spoke vaguely while munching away. "You actually thought she was nice when

you first met her? I knew she was up to no good at first glance.”

The two started talking behind Elena's back. I did not intend to participate in the conversation, so I

sat on the chair and ate the meat in silence.

When Shannon was done eating, I handed her the cleaned vegetables. "Take them over there and

let them roast them.”

"There’s no hurry.” Shannon wiped her mouth, then asked in a gossipy tone, "I saw you guys talking

about something

mysteriously just now. Care to share with

me?'

Nina shook her head. "It’s nothing."

"Tell me!" Shannon’s gossipy nature was simply impossible to be suppressed.

Nina sighed. "My sister is getting a divorce, and it makes me upset.”

Shannon clicked her tongue. "Tell me the details. I'm very interested in love relationships and

marriage right now.

Maybe if you tell me more of these things, I'll lose interest in getting married too."

I looked at Nina and waited for her to speak. Perhaps this was the nature of women. We were born

to love gossip.

Nina gently sighed. "My sister and my brother-in-law have been married for six years. They began

to quarrel frequently in the last six months. The family's expenses, including the children’s food and

clothing. are all bought with my sister's salary. My brother-in-law would give my sister some money

when they first got married but has since stopped giving her any. The reason is that he wants to

start a business and the money deposited in the bank can’t be touched. My sister thought that he

had started to change, but because of the children, she had no choice but to put up with it."

After a pause, she continued, "Half a year ago, my sister took her kid to the hospital and happened

to bump into him and a woman coming out of a cafe. That's when the two started quarreling.

However, she still refused to get a divorce for the sake of the children. She finally decided to get a

divorce because of my disappearance. In order to find me, my sister spent a lot of money, and that

made my brother-in-law very unhappy. He also said many unpleasant things. In the end, in order to

stop my sister from spending more money t o search for me, he took all my sister’s hard -earned

money over the years. He stayed outside and only returned home after I came back from abroad.

When my sister asked for her money back, he said that he had spent it all."

After hearing what she said. Shannon and I both gasped.

"It's like you're widowed!" Shannon put on a n angry look. "Why hasn't this man been kicked out

yet? What is she waiting for?"

I nodded to agree. "Isn’t he just a scumbag?"

Nina sighed gently and said to me, "Wanda, Theo is different from my brother-in-law. H e doesn't

lack money. I can tell that he loves you. You must know that it isn't easy for a woman to meet a man

who deeply loves her over the course of her life. No matter how deep the misunderstanding

between you is, you shouldn't have separated so easily."

Seeing that she was talking about me again, I got up and picked up the basin of vegetables. I said,

"Let's go and grill some vegetables."

I walked away after saying that.

"You make me so mad, Wanda Lane. Do you think it's appropriate for you to keep avoiding your

problems like that?" Shannon followed behind me and asked with a face full of displeasure.

I did not want to entertain her and walked t o the grill, where I set down the basin.

Everyone else surrounded the grill chatting with each other. Seeing that Shannon and I had come

over, Thaddea handed us each a grilled sausage. She asked with a smile, "I saw you having a

meeting over there just now. What were you talking about?”

Shannon darted me a glance and snorted." Giving her an ideology lesson."

After a pause, she looked at Elena and continued, "Some people know nothing but flattery. Why

bother with anything else when one can just rely on men?”

Everybody knew who she was referring to, s o the air was suddenly awkward.

Elena's complexion was pale, and the meat she had brought to her mouth hung awkwardly in the

air.

Nina had just walked over and did not know what was going on, so she said with a smile, "Let's

bring all the cushions out."
