Chapter 884 I looked at her but thought of Elena. I did not actually like this woman whose ambitions and desires were written all over her face, but I felt sorry for her somehow. I felt sorry for her after listening to Celine recounting her past. If those words had cout of her own mouth, I was sure that they would sound even more heartbreaking. Grayson handed the menu to the waiter and looked atwith an extraordinarily serious expression when he heard Petra's words.
I hesitated for a few seconds or so and said, "Theo's on annual holiday now. We plan to go on a trip." Although I did not make a direct refusal, my words had expressed my refusal.
Even though Petra was slightly disappointed, she knew that Theo was on annual leave and that I really could not go and stay with the Louises. Therefore, a smile quickly broke out on her face again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs we spoke, her countenance turned darker and darker at the sight of someone.
I looked over and realized that it was Cindy.
Those we wanted to meet could be right in front of us yet we never seemed to notice them, but those we did not want to meet were always popping up in front of u s. This was such a small world, indeed.
Grayson saw Cindy too and there were hints of displeasure on his face, though they were not as obvious as the changes on Petra's. Her expression could even qualify as loathing.
They once shared a relationship as mother and daughter, after all, so I thought Petra and Grayson would at least have slight feelings left for Cindy. However, that did not seem like the case.
"Mr. and Mrs. Louis." Cindy took the initiative to cover and greet them with a smile on her face. "What a coincidence. Do you like dining in this restaurant too?" Petra snorted coldly and said without mercy, "My family and I are having lunch together, Ms. Cindy. Please don't interrupt us if it isn't for anything important." Her words sounded cold enough.
Cindy's expression froze as she said a little grievously, "Please don't get the wrong idea, Ms. Petra. I'm just here to say hello. I don't mean anything else." Petra did not say further but her expression was sullen and angry.
Grayson darted Cindy a glance and said in a rather stern tone, "You don't have to do this anymore." When this man pulled a long face, the aura around him could startle anyone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCindy took a step back in fear, and the look on her face seemed more and more wronged. It seemed like this was not the first tshe had been asked to leave.
I grew even more curious now. Theo had cut off her financial resources and the Louises had practically cut off all contact with her, but I had seen her a few times when I cback to Whaldorf City dressed in expensive clothes and jewelry. She was not working and had no one to depend on, so how was she still able to spend so much money? Although she was not welcomed, Cindy continued to wear a smile on her face. She said her goodbyes to Petra and Grayson, looking as though she was still the Louises' daughter.
When she had walked away, Petra exhaled and said in a cold voicem "That woman harbors ill intentions." Grayson frowned, not saying a word.
I looked at the two and laughed, saying a little sarcastically, "She wasn't the one who mistakenly identified herself, which led to her being pampered by her parents so much that she started behaving as a rich lady only to suddenly find out that she was misidentified. She was knocked back to square one and left with nothing. I believe she never did anything wrong since the beginning, right?" Petra was momentarily dumbfounded. She was rendered speechless.
Grayson frowned atand looked a little displeased. "What nonsense are you saying, Wanda?"
"Guys, I admire the feelings you have for each other and how much you defend your family, but as humans, please put yourself in other people's shoes when you defend yourself. If you were just a little more tolerant and gentle with others, you wouldn't have pushed your own daughter away and suffocated your own grandson to death." X
