StarNovelChapter 1131
"Exactly," Shannon spoke vaguely while munching away. "You actually thought she was nice when you first met
her? | knew she was up to no good at first glance.”
The two started talking behind Elena's back. | did not intend to participate in the conversation, so | sat on the
chair and ate the meat in silence.
When Shannon was done eating, | 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 makesupset.”
Shannon clicked her tongue. "Tellthe details. I'm very interested in love relationships and marriage right now.
Maybe if you tellmore of these things, I'll lose interest in getting married too."
| 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 smoney 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 hafter | cback
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 | 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?"
| 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. |
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 aboutagain, | got up and picked up the basin of vegetables. | said, "Let's go and
grill svegetables."
| walked away after saying that.

"You makeso mad, Wanda Lane. Do you think it's appropriate for you to keep avoiding your problems like
that?" Shannon followed behindand asked with a face full of displeasure.
| did not want to entertain her and walked t o the grill, where | set down the basin.
Everyone else surrounded the grill chatting with each other. Seeing that Shannon and | had cover, 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 darteda glance and snorted." Giving her an ideology lesson."
After a pause, she looked at Elena and continued, "Speople 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."
