President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 10

Jessica got rigid by her word, and a sense of grievance flashed across her eyes.

“How could you say that to me, sister?”

Aleena cracked a wry smile as well,

“Jessica was trying to show her hospitality. Why don’t you have a talk with her?

You can explain the mistakes between each other. We are together as one family.”

“Family?

I’m sorry.

I can call anyone else to be my family in this room, except for you two.

Meanwhile, my Mom only got one kid. Why do I have a sister?

Please don’t force your relationship to me.

Are you not afraid for being avenged by my Mom in the mid of the night?

“Ah...!”

Jessica screamed out by Natalia’s ferocious look. She sank into Aleena’s arm immediately.

At this time, a reproach came from the stairs.

“Natalia!”

Natalia looked up and saw Clara coming down with her walking stick.

For an old-age woman as her, she was still in a high spirits with sharp look. She had a long face now, full of queenly feeling.

But Natalia wasn’t afraid of her at all. She stood there with a faint and awe-inspiring face.

This was the look Clara got sick of. She was aloof and stubborn, same as her dead Mom. They seemed to have superior gene and look down on everyone else.

Natalia berated her harshly.

“What did you say?”

Natalia was disinclined to respond. It was meaningless to dispute for the same thing at all times.

She might be in the argument with them a couple years ago.

But now she wouldn’t. She realized that no one in the family cared about her Mom.

Noticing the silence of Natalia, Clara thought her to be tamed, and eased a little.

She turned to Jessica, who was lying back on Aleena’s arms. Jessica had a delicate and touching look towards her. Her exquisite face was like a deerlet that got frightened. Clara relaxed again by her look.

“All right!” She remarked casually.

Now that Natalia comes back. Let’s leave the past behind and take the supper in the dining room.”

Then she walked towards the dining room in the lead.

Natalia followed up with knitted brows.

“When I know that you will come back for supper, I ask nanny to cook your favorite dishes. Try and see if you like them.”

Soon as they sat around the table, Aleena started to take food to her.

Natalia refrained from her disgust towards Aleena. She didn’t respond, neither did she take the food.

Philip got mad by how she sat there with a frosty look.

“What’s wrong with you?

Are you feeling aggrieved for having supper here?

Aunty Aleena is the elder. How could you not show your gratitude by accepting food from her?”

Natalia kept silent.

Even she didn’t want to take it personally, she couldn’t show up a happy face towards a woman who pushed her Mom to death. She even had meals together with her.

She put her chopsticks down and said in a cold voice.

“No need to do this!

I'm not hungry, and I don't want to eat.

What exactly did you call me back for?

Let’s make it clear!”

Clara looked at her. Her shrewd eyes flashed with a glint.

She did not get angry this time and rose up a quiet voice.

"It seems that you have a lot of resentment towards this family. No one would force you to eat anything. We just want to inform you something. And that is the reason for calling you home today.

Your sister will celebrate her birthday the day after tommorrow. We will hold a banquet for her. We also discussed with Shawn already that their relationship would be published that day. You will need to be there as well.

If anyone asks, just say that the one engaged to Shawn was always Jessica. This would be good to you as well. You can just let go the past!”
