My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy) novel Chapter 199

Only Grandma Eva and Addy were at the table. Other people were busy, so they didn't come back to have meals today. Halbert was in the room with his wife. Cathy said that she was sick and felt uncomfortable.

"Addy, look at our family. I just ask them to eat some light food and they all find an excuse to eat outside. They have been doing this for three days, and I don't believe that they can be busy like this for three days." Grandma Eva put her chopsticks on the table angrily.

"Mom, they all had their own work to do. That is why they did not come back for dinner. And you said that Cathy failed in raising those children and have developed bad habits. Well, I don't think children are to blame here. Mom, don't be angry. We have gone through a lot these years and we know that it takes time to cultivate good habits in a child." Addy always knew what Grandma Eva was thinking about. And that was why Grandma Eva liked her so much.

When she lived in the countryside and didn't know how things went on between her husband and his current wife, she managed to get on with her life. But now, she returned to the Carter's with great difficulty. She was really jealous when she saw her ex-husband being so nice to another woman every day.

However, she could take her time now. She had waited for 30 years and these few days meant nothing to her. Only by getting rid of Cathy could she truly come back to the Carter's and become the hostess in charge of the whole family.

"You are the sensible one. Addy, I am old now and I always want the best for you. Dress yourself up and make an effort, so you can become the hostess here. Men love women in fine clothes." Grandma Eva figured it out now that women had to be seductive to win a man's love.

"Mom, I remember that don't you like women in skimpy clothes?" Addy always dressed up like a woman living in countryside. She wished she could dress up one day, but Eva was conservative. Therefore, she never put on makeup just to please Eva.

"Looks like times have changed. I also need to change. Halbert will never fall in love with you if you stay that way for the rest of your life. I can find someone to help you dress up tomorrow. I bet you are pretty than those women." Grandma Eva was really angry. She was confused that why her son never fall in love with Abby, who was pretty in her eyes.

Grandma Eva thought to herself, "It is those bitches who make a mess here. What I believed for so many years turned out to be wrong?"

After dinner, Grandma Eva called Allison and told her to come over tomorrow and take Addy to get dressed up. Grandma Eva and Abby were definitely not good at this, so they could only ask Allison for help.

Halbert went out for shopping and he bought some snacks that Cathy liked when he returned. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw a woman with curly hair sitting on the sofa. She wore a black cheongsam and looked a bit like Cathy from the back. However, her hairstyle was nothing compared to that of Cathy.

Halbert only looked at that woman's back. He didn't know where his mother found this woman. He didn't want to have much to do with his mother, so he walked upstairs.

"Halbert." That woman called Halbert when she saw him. Halbert turned around to look at that woman. She just got her hair done, and it didn't look natural. She also wore makeup on her face. That woman looked familiar to Halbert, but he couldn't remember who this woman was.

"Who are you?" Halbert looked at that woman.

"Halbert, I'm Addy. How do I look?" Addy spun around in front of Halbert.

Actually, Addy was good-looking. Otherwise, Grandma Eva and Grandpa John wouldn't choose her as their daughter-in-law.

However, she was in her fifties and gained some weight. She had love handles and looked like a bucket in skirt. She looked very funny.

"Are you Addy? Why are you dressed like this?" Halbert was frightened.

Addy was like a bumpkin, but Halbert was used to her look now. Halbert hated her even more when he saw Addy dress up in this way.

"Mom said that men like beautiful women, so she asked me to dress up. How do I look?" Addy had never worn a cheongsam before, nor had she ever had her hair permed. She felt that she looked like Cathy now.

Cathy also liked to wear cheongsam the most. She also had curly hair, but Addy did not notice that Cathy was in good shape.

As for Addy, she didn't have a nice body like Cathy.

"I think I like who you were before." Halbert then hurriedly left. He was afraid that he would burst into laughter in a while because Addy looked really funny.

Addy discovered that Halbert was still unwilling to be with her even if she became beautiful. She didn't know what went gone wrong with her.

"How is it? What did Halbert say?" Grandma Eva just walked out of Grandpa John's study. She didn't hear anything in that room, which was very soundproof.

"Mom, I think I am beautiful now, but Halbert still wants me to be who I was before. Maybe he doesn't want me to be as pretty as Cathy." Addy thought that Halbert didn't like her dress up because that would make her prettier than Cathy.

"No, I don't think so. Perhaps he hasn't got used to your new look. He will know how beautiful you are one day. We bought a lot of clothes today. Allison picked them and she's got a good taste. You need to put on your new clothes from time to time and wear them in front of Halbert. He will eventually realize how beautiful you are." Grandma Eva spent a few thousand today, and that was a lot of money for her.

Allison didn't want to be with them anymore. She could only pick up clothes that were a few hundred. Allison didn't know how to choose as she had never worn such cheap clothes before.

But Grandma Eva thought that she bought the best clothes. When they were at the market, the clothes she bought were only a few dozen each!

Allison returned home and saw her mother lying on the sofa alone. She closed her eyes and didn't move at all. Allison thought that Tracy was dead, so she hurriedly walked over and knelt beside Tracy, calling her name.

"Mom, Mom, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. Mom, Mom." Allison shouted.

Tracy slowly opened her eyes. She smiled when she saw her daughter's anxious look, "Allison, I was just tired and sleeping. Don't worry, I am okay." Tracy touched Allison's face.

"Mom, I am scared. You can't die. What can I do if you die?" Allison lay on Tracy and put her head on Tracy's leg.

"My baby girl, I will not die until I get a handle on everything. Don't worry." Tracy comforted Allison.
