Chapter 1119 You Were Never This Obedient
"Cut the crap!" Julia was so enraged that she swore.
Darren was stunned as he did not expect Julia's hostile response. However, he was not annoyed,
although he would have stomped away in anger in the past.
But today, he stood there servilely and allowed Julia to reprimand him. He even attempted to explain

nodded and mumbled, "Alright, as you wish."

Darren furrowed his brows. "What do you mean?"
Julia drew closer to Darren and stared into his eyes. "You were never this obedient. I have a hunch that

Julia thought Darren had a point. She was not annoyed by his attitude but nodded and said, "Alright

Darren did not reply and opened the washroom door, feigning an upset look.

on, let's continue. Don't mind him." She said gleefully to the others.
With that, they continued chatting heartily. The young people behaved naturally and did not seem
affected by the episode.
Julia was so excited that she did not realize the time when the clock struck nine.
Elisa uttered, "It's getting late, Grandma. You should get some rest."
Julia looked at the time and was surprised. "Oh gosh, I enjoyed chatting with you so much that I lost
track of time!"
Elisa smiled. "We can continue tomorrow. It's your bedtime now, Grandma."
Vincent chimed in. "Yeah, it has passed your usual bedtime. Let's call it a day."
Julia sighed in reluctance. "As much as I'd like you to stay, you guys should rest up too."
