Chapter 225 Embarrassing Moment

“Christina, shut your mouth.” Emily, known for 1 good temper, suddenly raised her voice,

her expression turning cold as she glared at her. “I didn’t bring you to the Youngs‘ Old

Manor to create trouble. If you don’t want to stay, leave now.”

Seeing Emily genuinely angry, Christina pursed her lips. Her face showed defiance, and

her voice choked with emotion as she said, “Em…”

The atmosphere at the table had already dampened after Christina revealed my divorce

from

Idris.

Upon hearing her words, Madam Young turned her cloudy eyes toward us and intervened

to calm Emily’s anger. “Emily, don’t scold her.”

After speaking, Madam Young looked at Idris and me, asking, “Iddy, Yvette, what exactly is

going on? You’re divorced? When did this happen?”

With the truth now out in the open, I pressed my lips together, thinking that maybe it was

not such a bad thing to announce it now. I took a deep breath and looked at Madam

Young. Grandma, Idris and I are…”

“Grandma, we’re doing fine,” Idris interrupted me, his face cold as he glanced at Christina.

His voice was deep as he said, “Divorced, you say? Despite being the parties involved,

we’re quite unaware of your detailed knowledge. Why? Did you handle our divorce?

Spouting such lies so easily. Jack Zanier has raised you well, hmm?”

His words were harsh, especially coming from someone as well–mannered as Idris. It was

not just hard to hear… It was brutal.

Christina’s face instantly turned red. Her tears were stuck in her eyes as fear and

embarrassment were bottling up on her face, making her already unremarkable features

even more unpleasant to look at.

Hearing his heavy words, Madam Young frowned slightly. After all, Christina was a guest.

She said, “Iddy, she’s just a child. If you have something to say, please tell her in a nicer

way.”

With a stern face, Idris turned to Emily. “Emily, it’s getting late. Charles should be

available now. I’ll ask him to send her back so her parents won’t be worried.”

He was effectively sending her away.

It was truly an embarrassing moment.

Emily looked at Christina helplessly, then nodded slightly at Idris. “Then I’ll have to trouble

you, Iddy.”

“Em?” With such a blunt send–off, Christina turned pale while looking at Emily, trying to

say something.

Emily looked at her and said, “I’ll call your parents in a bit. You should go back early and

not.” Having reached this point in the conversation, with so many people present,

Christina could no longer stay no matter how thick–skinned she was.

Disregarding etiquette, she stood up while shooting me a glare, then left the dining room.

As she left, the atmosphere at the table turned sour. The pleasant dinner was now spoiled,

leaving everyone with little appetite.

Everyone fell silent, quietly eating their meal.

After dinner, Madam Young did not say much, but she called Idris and me to her yard for a

private talk.

Madam Young’s yard was spacious, and the room housed a large stove, making it very

warm.

Sitting around the stove, Madam Young looked at us and said to Idris, “Iddy, tell me, what

exactly is going on with what that Zanier kid said earlier?”

With a gentle expression on his face, Idris looked at her and said, “Grandma, you believe

her nonsensical words? You’ve seen how Yvette and I have been these past few days.

We’re fine.” Madam Young seemed not to believe his words but instead looked at me.

“Yvette, tell Grandma the truth. Have you and Iddy really divorced?”

Unsure of Madam Young’s condition, I pursed my lips and said, “Grandma, I know you

hope we can continue living well together, but whether people can stay together depends

on fate. Regardless of whether Idris and I are divorced or not, I will always come here to

visit you.”

I did not directly answer her question but rather offered some polite words.

Madam Young was a clever woman. She did not press further but fell silent for a while

before saying, “As long as you two are fine, that’s all I care about. The annex here has

been cleaned. up. You two have just finished dinner, so why don’t you walk around the

house? You should live here from now on.”

I was stunned. Had Madam Young not taken in what I just said?

“Grandma…” I was about to speak.

She looked at me and Idris with a kind face and said, “You shouldn’t have treated that

Zanier kid like that. After all, she’s a relative. Blood’s thicker than water. Acting that way is

like slapping Jack Zanier in the face. He’s known for being protective. Although the Youngs

s don’t need him, it’s better to have a friend than a foe. I’m just afraid he might cause

trouble later, creating obstacles out of spite.”
