Chapter 275 Future Daughter-in-law
Seeing that Freda was satisfied, Rita was very happy. She turned around and took another purple box. She opened the box and put it in front of Mr. Ethan, "Uncle, this is a tea set made of fine violet sand. Glenn said that you like tea, so I wanted to buy this for you. Do you like it?'
Ethan took up a cup and surveyed it for a long while before he said, "it is indeed a nice thing. Thank you very much." This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
As Ethan didn't speak a word for a long time, Rita thought that he didn't like it or she was cheated that she bought a fake one. So she felt relieved after hearing his words.
"It doesn't matter. If you like it."
Freda told the servants to put it away. "Ella, you must keep it well for me. I will show it off to my friends then."
"Yes, madam." The servant called Ella carefully took the box away and put it away.
"you shouldn't show off the present from Rita. You just keep it for yourself. If you break it, you'll regret it." Ethan said to Freda and thought she still acted like a teenager.
Freda replied, "Hey, old man. This is a gift from Rita. It's my business how I use it. Why do you get in my way? I just want to show off to them how wonderful a daughter-in-law I have. And you don't show off the tea sets to your tea friends. "
Freda could see from his reaction that he loved the tea set a lot. Although Rita wasn't sure about it, she knew it. They had been married for decades.
"Fine, fine. I won't meddle in it. You can do whatever you want."
Freda ignored her husband's unhappiness, took Rita's hand and went to the dining room. "The dinner is ready. I asked Glenn some of your favorite food. Have a taste. If you don't like it, I will ask the kitchen to cook again."
Rita looked at the dishes on the table. Most of them were what she liked to eat. No matter whether they were good or bad, she would not dislike them because of Freda's kindness.
"How could it be? I always have a good appetite when I look at them. They must be better than the food I cook."
Glenn looked at the dishes on the table in disappointment. Although he was happy that Freda liked Rita, he didn't want to see the huge difference. There was nothing he liked.
"Mom, you're going too far. You even don't prepare anything I like to eat. I haven't eaten in our home for nearly a year. How could you treat me like this?" Glenn wondered, 'I'm not their biological son, but the son-in-law. Rita is their daughter. Why are there huge difference?'
Freda cast a glance at Glenn and said, "What are you yelling about? We are all at home, aren't we? You didn't come back and you blaming me for it? Besides, you have eaten a lot since I raised you up. "
Hearing his mother's words, Glenn only felt that he had actually been rejected by his mother. He might be the lowest position in the family in the future.
"How could you do that?"
Freda totally ignored Glenn. She took Rita's hand and sat down, "come and have dinner. Let him alone."
Rita gave a concerned look to Glenn. She had worried that Freda might dislike her. But now she realized that she had been overthinking. Glenn must have regretted in his heart.
"Glenn, sit down."
On hearing what Rita said, Glenn, who was grumbling, immediately become obedient and sat down opposite to her.
Freda looked at Glenn speechlessly.
Glenn smiled at Rita and then looked back at Freda. His eyes showed the message 'What's wrong with me being a henchman. She is my wife, I should listen to her.'
On the table, Freda and Glenn had been putting dishes on Rita's plate. They asked her to eat more, which made Rita feel awkward.
"Aunt, you don't have to pick up food for me. I can do it myself." On the other hand, she secretly winked at Glenn to ask him to stop. Looking at her bowl, she almost cried. 'How to eat up?'
Watching his wife and his son's behaviors, Ethan didn't know what to do. Seeing Rita's action, he said, "That's enough. You two eat your own food. Rita can do it herself. There's no need for you to be worried."
"It's none of your business if I help my daughter-in-law to eat. Just enjoy your food."
In fact, Ethan always followed Freda's words at home and seldom argued with her. His heart was softened by Rita's eyes for help. But now he dared not to say anything more.
Rita hurriedly said, "Aunt, you really don't need to take care of me. I can do it myself."
Hearing this, Freda stopped picking up food for Rita. She smiled kindly and said, "well, then eat whatever your want."
"Okay." Rita kept eating. Glenn's mother never treated her as an outsider.
Although she was happy with it, she still thought it was a little fast.
Looking at the smile of his mother, Glenn shivered. His mother looked at him with a mischievous smile, and now he was even more uneasy.
He felt that his mother was a little strange today. Was she going to do something strange again?
After dinner, Glenn was taken to the study by his father to discuss about business. Then Rita was taken to the master bedroom by Freda.
"Is there anything you want me to do?"
Rita saw that Freda took out a box from a cabinet secretly. She was so careful like she was afraid that it would be taken away by others.
"Well, it's a secret that even Glenn didn't know. Now let me show you."
"I don't think it's a good idea." 'Since it's a secret, I shouldn't know it.'
"It doesn't matter for you."
With the hint of Freda, Rita opened the box and her eyes lit up the moment she saw what was inside.
She raised her head and saw the smirk on Freda's face.
