Chapter 225 Embarrassment
“Gianna, shut up,” Emma, usually of a very good temper, suddenly raised her voice, her face turned
cold, and she glared at her, “I brought you to the Hinton family, not for you to cause trouble. If you don’t
want to stay, leave now.”
Seeing that she was thoroughly angry, Gianna pursed her lips, a face full of defiance, her voice choked,
“Cousin…”
The atmosphere at the table became somewhat subdued after Gianna announced that Walter and I
were already divorced. The old lady, after hearing her words, looked at us with a pair of cloudy eyes
and silenced Emma’s angry emotions, saying, “Emma, don’t be harsh on her.”
After speaking, the old lady looked at me and Walter, and said, “Walter, Tabatha, what on earth is going
on? You two are divorced? When did this happen?”.
Everything had been laid bare. I pursed my lips slightly, thinking that perhaps it wasn’t such a bad thing
to speak up now. I took a breath and looked at the old lady, “Grandma, Walter and I indeed…”
“Grandma, we’ve always been fine,” Walter interrupted, his face cold as he glanced at Gianna. His
voice was low as he continued, “We’re getting a divorce? As the parties involved, we didn’t know you
were so detailed. What? Did you handle this divorce? This lie that you just blurted out, Jacob has
indeed raised you well.”
This remark, was hard to hear.
Especially coming from a well-mannered person like Walter, it was not ordinarily offensive.
Gianna’s face turned red in an instant, tears stuck in her eyes, fear and embarrassment all written on
her face. A face that was not so
outstanding to begin with, looked even more unpleasant at that
moment.
Hearing his harsh words, the old lady slightly furrowed her brows. After all, Gianna was a guest. She
spoke up, “Walter, she’s just a child. Speak to her nicely.”
Walter put on a serious face, looking at Emma and said, “Sister-in-law, it’s getting late. Odin is free
now, I’ll have him take her home so her family won’t worry.”
This was outright driving people away.
He really was quite embarrassing.
Emma looked at Gianna with a hint of helplessness, gave a slight nod, and said to Walter, “Then I’ll
have to trouble you, Walter.”
“Cousin.” Being sent back like this, Gianna turned pale, looking at Emma and trying to say something.
Emma looked at her and said, “I’ll call your parents in a bit, you should go home early, don’t let them
worry.”
The conversation had already reached this point, let alone the fact that there were so many people
sitting here. Even if Gianna had a thick skin, she had no choice but to leave.
Ignoring all manners, he stood up directly, gave me a fierce glare, and
then left the restaurant.
Watching her leave, everyone’s faces also didn’t look too good. This was supposed to be a nice meal,
but it had been ruined. No one really had the appetite to eat anymore.

For a moment, they all closed their mouths and ate quietly.
After dinner, the old lady didn’t say much. She just called me and Walter into her yard alone.
The old lady’s yard was spacious, and there was a huge stove in the house, which was very warm.
Sitting around the stove, the old lady looked at us and said to Walter, “Walter, you tell me, what exactly
was that Zhao kid talking about just
now?”
The expression on Walter’s face was gentle as he looked at her and said, “Grandma, do you believe
her nonsense? You’ve seen how Tabatha and I have been these past few days, we’re doing well.”
The old lady probably didn’t believe his words, instead she looked at me and said, “Tabatha, tell
grandma the truth, have you and Walter already divorced?”
Uncertain about the old lady’s situation, I pursed my lips, looking at her and said, “Grandma, I know
you hope we can carry on well, but whether people can continue together depends on fate. Regardless
of whether Walter and I are divorced or not, I will always come to visit you in the future.”
I didn’t directly answer her question, I just made a few polite remarks.
The old lady was a smart woman. She didn’t continue to ask questions, but fell silent. After a long
pause, she finally said, “Since you are all well, I am relieved. The side courtyard has been tidied up.
You just finished eating, so take a walk around the house together. From now on, you will live here.”
I was stunned. Had the old lady not heard what I just said?
“Grandma…” I had just wanted to speak.
She looked at me and Walter with a kind face and said, “You shouldn’t have treated Zhao’s child like
that just now. After all, he is a relative. Even if you break a bone, the tendons are still connected. By Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
doing this, you are slapping Jacob’s face. Jacob is a person who is very protective of his own. Although
we, the Hinton family, don’t need him, it’s better to offend a gentleman than a villain. I’m afraid he might
cause some trouble in the future, which would be annoying.”
