Chapter 413 Gossip Between Families
During the meal, toasts were raised, and the voices in the private room gradually grew louder.
However, Evelyn, who had always been low-key, remained quiet and calmly ate the food on her plate.
When it was almost over, she gave the prepared gifts to the family members. Some of them were given
by Huston, as he had given them too many, and they couldn’t possibly use them
all. So, Lucy thought of sharing them with everyone.
When it was time to give the gift to Evelyn’s eldest uncle’s
family, Lucy took out an expensive box of supplements. Evelyn’s aunt glanced at the packaging, and
her facial expression immediately changed. Though she smiled, it gave
a somewhat peculiar feeling. “Oh, this box must be very
expensive. My son mentioned it to us before, saying it’s sold by
weight and even more expensive than gold.”
Lucy knew it was a valuable and expensive item, but she
wasn’t sure about the exact price. She was not materialistic,
so she straightforwardly said, “It was given to us by someone else, and I don’t know its exact value.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust take it. It’s good for the body, and you can give it to other elders if you like.”
“Someone else gave it to you?” Evelyn’s aunt rolled her eyes, picked it up, and looked at it. “Who gave
it to you?”
Previously, Evelyn’s marriage to Jerry was considered illustrious. After all, the Graves family was
already considered a “prominent family” for ordinary people. Now that she had divorced, how could
their family still receive such extravagant
things?
Hearing her ask so carefully, Lucy felt somewhat displeased, but she didn’t show it and simply replied
casually, “It was a gift
from one of Evelyn’s friends.”
Unexpectedly, instead of dropping the matter, Evelyn’s aunt made a meaningful remark and
sarcastically said, “It seems like it’s not an ordinary relationship. Your daughter Evelyn
must have some abilities. She’s beautiful, so even after a
divorce, she can find a new man quickly…”
Evelyn didn’t know the purpose behind her words. Perhaps it was just her being straightforward without
thinking, but regardless of the reason, it made her feel uncomfortable
when she heard it.
From the start of dinner until now, no one had mentioned her
divorce. Everyone seemed deliberately avoid this sensitive topic, but it was her aunt-in-law who kept
bringing it up and even passing judgment, seemingly enjoying the drama.
without considering the consequences.
Evelyn would have been indifferent if it were any other time, but now, in front of Lucy, she couldn’t bear
it. She tactfully retorted, “Auntie, it’s so flattering. I can’t compare to Samuel, no matter how capable I
am. He has achieved academic success and even has a girlfriend this year. I estimate they’ll be
planning a wedding next year.”
Hearing this, her aunt immediately covered her mouth and laughed. “It’s not that fast. It depends on
how well he studies.
abroad.”
If they were not planning a wedding so soon, why did Samuel bring his girlfriend home?
Lucy had long understood what she was thinking. She glanced at Samuel and his girlfriend and said,

suitable for marriage.”
“There’s no hurry.” Evelyn’s aunt looked at Evelyn meaningfully. “Young people nowadays get married
quickly and divorce
quickly. It wouldn’t hurt to spend more time getting to know each other. Just look at Evelyn. Isn’t she a
victim of rushing into
marriage?”
Lucy’s patient heart finally reached its limit with this remark. Even if her daughter’s life wasn’t going
well, she could say it herself, but others had no right to make unwarranted
comments!
“I don’t like what you said. What do you mean that Evelyn was a victim? Now divorce is very common,
and it is their own
choice. Besides, now Evelyn has a new beginning. Why do you
make things difficult for her?”
