Condescending
Gloria eyes twinkled. “No, I’m a little tired today. Maybe another day.”
Hearing this, Nydia answered considerately. ‘Alright then, take a nice rest today. If you are bored,
remember
to call me and I will go accompanying you.”
“Sure.”
The two of them said nothing more and hung up the phone.
Jonathan glanced at Gloria without mentioning anything. He stepped on the accelerator and drove all
the way to where she lived.
Gloria looked at Jonathan and said, “Thank you very much today’
Without the arrangement of Jonathan, she might not have been so successful.
Jonathan raised his eyebrows, “You’re welcome I do this only to return your favor.”
Gloria continued, “Good night.”
Jonathan smiled, his eyes full of tenderness. ‘Are you concerned about me?’
Gloria didn’t answer
It was just a polite remark. She smiled and got off the bus without saying anything.
Jonathan had always been of some use to her. Knowing she was a lawyer, he might also want to
continue to contact her But indeed, she didn’t want to get too involved with this man.
Back to her home, her heart pounded and raced
After thinking for a while, she finally dialed a number on her phone.
The person picked it up very quickly, “Hello, Gloria.”
Gloria looked guilty and said, “Grandma, you must know what happened today. I’m sorry.”
Karen chuckled immediately. ‘Gloria, you don’t have to apologize to me. If he hadn’t been constraining
you and involved with Angela, you wouldn’t have come to this.”
“Grandma… ‘Gloria clenched the phone
At that moment, she suddenly didn’t want to have the coming lawsuit.
Tbu bau
Because she thought she owed her grandma too much.
Grandma is so nice to me but now… I have to do harm to her grandson.
Karen sighed lightly, ‘Gloria, I want to tell you that you don’t have to worry about me. I’ve said before
that you are my own granddaughter as well after you marries into our family. So whatever you do, I will
support you.”
Gloria’s eyes swelled with guilt.
She didn’t know what to say. Her grandma chuckled and continued, ‘I know you have a pure and good
character. You are too nice 10 hurt people. So I won’t stop you. My good girl, but just remember to
come back to visit me often.”
She opened her lips, trying to say something, but was interrupted by her grandma, “What you do, my
girl, is already destined by fate. You can’t change it.”
She calls me her girl…
Grandma had no daughter.
And she was treating Gloria like her own daughter though she had a daughter, Olivia, also Jordy’s
mother.
Atinge of puzzlement flashed across Gloria’s eyes. Hearing no voice, she wondered whether Grandma
was still over the phone
“Gloria.’
Olivia’s voice rang out from the phone. Gloria quickly replied, ‘I’m here.”
She… couldn’t even call her mother any more.
She knew Olivia had never liked her. She might think the same as Jordy, who judged Gloria as a
greedy and
vain woman.
Besides, every time she called Olivia’s mother, she could see the aversion in her eyes. So this time, it
wouldn’t happen again.
“Come to the house immediately. Olivia demanded, sounding condescending.
Gloria frowned slightly, but she thought it would be better to settle things clearly and neatly. She
thought it would also be nice to meet her grandmother in person and apologize to her.
Thinking so, she responded, “Okay, I’ll go now.’
Just after that, Olivia snapped up the phone without even answering her.
Gloria pressed her lips tightly. She had been used to Olivia’s condescending attitude for years, and
now she didn’t have to care.
Soon she called a cab and went directly to the Collins house.
