"With her enthusiasm and care for the baby now, I'm afraid she will go to Luo City to look after you
even if you don't invite her." Ada laughed as she remembered the bet she made with her mother. Not
because she's confident she would win, but because she believed that Olive was a good person.
"That's the best." Her baby was the key to their relationship, so she would take advantage of this.
Although if she thought about it carefully, she would be a little upset, while some things in life were to
be generous. For there were certain things which could not haggle over, and if she did, she could easily
split hairs.
Olive didn't want to split hairs as people needed to be broad-minded to live easy.
"Does my Brother know about your decision?" Asked Ada.
Olive replied. "I haven't spoken to him yet, but I don't think he would object."
"No one, not even my father who is now dead, could control my brother." Ada said, laughing. "He only
listens to you."
Olive laughed, too. "It wasn't that whether he listened to me or not because Mrs. Hoyle was his mother,
so he had no reason to object."
Although her husband was afraid that Mrs. Hoyle would hurt her and he has been trying his best to
avoid letting the two of them get along with each other, what he really wanted most was that Mrs. Hoyle
could get along with her peacefully. Therefore, this opportunity was rare, while it would be a pity if she
missed it.
Alan, of course, agreed with her, but it was just that when his wife told him this idea, he was a little
worried, so he kept looking at her and her still flat belly, which was already bearing a new life.
"Aren't you afraid of Mrs. Hoyle bullying you?"
"Do I look to you like a woman to be bullied?" Olive asked with a smile.
As Chloe often said, "we will not attack unless we are attacked; if they attack me, I will attack them."
The situation between them was less serious, but she no longer just endured. She wouldn't take the
initiative to confront Mrs. Hoyle, but if Mrs. Hoyle went too far, she would rally to protect herself and her
baby.
As a mother, Mrs. Hoyle should have understood the meaning of a Mother's eagerness to protect her
baby.
"Don't worry because with you by my side to protect me, I'm afraid of nothing, and I'll only grow
stronger when I fall, while it's rare for Mrs. Hoyle to accept the baby in her heart, so we finally see a bit
of hope, don't we? Even if Mrs. Hoyle tried to bully me, she couldn't bully the baby in my belly, could
she? Because the baby in my belly is the grandchild she wants." Olive comforted him, patted her
tummy, and laughed. "Don't you see? Your son is my talisman now."
Alan felt sorry, as he hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry." He said.
Olive smiled, hugging him around the waist. "Why are you saying you're sorry? You didn't do anything
wrong."
He had done nothing wrong, but he had failed to manage the relationship between his mother and his
wife. He was omnipotent in business, but at home, he was helpless a lot of the time. Separating them
to avoid his mother hurting his wife was a kind of negative behavior on his part.
But his wife was taking it all in a positive attitude, while she never complained or hated anyone
because she always found the best in people and returned the good to the bad.
He was lucky to have such a wife.
"I tried to do a thing that would make my mother accept you with all her heart, instead of pretending to
accept for the sake of the baby, but I have failed."
It's not easy for a man like Alan to admit defeat, so she could imagine how hard it must be for him.
Olive stood on tiptoe, took his face in her hands, and said very seriously. "How can you call that a
failure? Because it's better that she can accept my baby than that she hates my baby as much as she
hates me. Well, I don't even think about it, so can you just stop thinking about it, okay? You must
believe that with your wife's charm, I will conquer the castle of Mrs. Hoyle, while she won't be able to
run away. One day she'll happily eat the tea I serve her as her daughter-in-law."
Alan was impressed by her smile. "You can always look on the bright side."
"Do you want to cry out in pessimism? You have to be optimistic and positive." Olive was good at
comforting herself as well as comforting others.
Mrs. Hoyle also lost sleep that night because she thought it would be humiliating if she had asked to go
with Olive to Luo City as it seemed that she had given in to Olive.
Olive wasn't a bad person, but if she didn't go with Olive, she's a little worried that her grandchild would
become a child of the Steele family again.
After tossing and turning all night, she couldn't come up with the right excuse. Was she supposed to
say to Olive: I'll come and take care of you?
Even if she was willing to say this to Olive, her son who was so protective of his wife, wouldn't believe
she was saying this to Olive out of pure goodwill.
He was afraid that she would hurt Olive as if she had become the wicked old witch and was full of
poison, so he avoided her with all his might.
The problem kept her awake all night so that when she woke up the next day, she was in low spirits.
But at the moment when she went downstairs, it suddenly occurred to her that why she wanted to go to
Luo City because it was Olive who married her son, so Olive should follow her son to live in
Jiangcheng. Alan was her son and belonged to the Hoyle family, while Alan got Olive for his wife
instead of marrying into and living with Olive's family
But would her determined son agree to her idea? If a woman was deeply protected by a man, this
woman was like an impregnable fortress, so Mrs. Hoyle had no way to deal with Olive. At the thought of
this, Mrs. Hoyle was deeply depressed.
"Good morning, Mrs. Hoyle." Olive came out of the kitchen, saw her, smiled, and said good morning to
her.
Mrs. Hoyle frowned when she saw Olive wearing the apron. "Do I need you to make breakfast? You're
pregnant now, and we have the servants to cook breakfast, so I don't need you to cook breakfast here
and try to flatter me."
"Mrs. Hoyle, do you care about me?" Olive asked her, smiling. Although Mrs. Hoyle's words were a little
harsh, she felt a different feeling.
As the saying goes, people were embarrassed to slap someone in the face who was smiling at them,
so she believed that she could melt the iceberg like Mrs. Hoyle.
"I'm not worried about you but I'm worried about my grandchild. Look at you, and do you have any
awareness of being a pregnant woman? You're wearing those high heels, so are you trying to
miscarry? Are you trying to kill my grandchild? If anything happens to my grandchild, I'm going to yell at
you all day." Mrs. Hoyle pointed at her, scolding her.
"Yes, yes, Mom, you're right." For some reason, Olive was smiling happily because when she watched
Mrs. Hoyle scold her, she thought that Mrs. Hoyle looked like an unreasonable child.
"Don't think that just because you smile, I'll like you, HMM..." Mrs. Hoyle kept a straight face, but before
she could finish snorting, she slowly came to her senses. "What did you call me?"
"My sister-in-law just called you Mom." Ada jumped out from behind Mrs. Hoyle.
Mrs. Hoyle and Olive spoke these words in the early morning, while Ada and her brother heard them
loud and clear behind them. Ada thought it was thanks to Olive's good temper because if Mrs. Hoyle's
daughter-in-law had been anyone but Olive, Mrs. Hoyle's daughter-in-law would have quarreled with
Mrs. Hoyle. What woman would go into the kitchen to cook breakfast when she was pregnant? Ada
was afraid some pregnant women just wanted to wait for breakfast that someone else has prepared for
them.
