106. A Cunning Mother
Edmund put on a more serious look. "You ate snacks, Mom. You must have known that the sodium content was high, so why did you eat three large packets? Did you deliberately raise your blood pressure so you could ask Alice to look after you?"
Elizabeth didn't answer. Blinking slowly, she looked away."Then you asked for pizza, while Mrs. Klein and the others had made special menu for you. I don't think you're stupid enough to believe Giselle. Healthy pizza, really? The sodium content is still high even without cheese. Are you a child? Don't you have good self-control? Or did you deliberately make you blood pressure rise so you can blame Alice?"Elizabeth glanced for a second, but her lips remained tightly pressed. Edmund suspected that she was cursing under her breath. He glanced at the monitor. Seeing that the blood pressure numbers were still stable, he continued."Please be honest, Mom. What did you receive from Giselle? Blood pressure-lowering medicRelated chapters

Edmund entered Sky's room without making a sound. Even though the lights were turned off, he could vaguely see Alice lying on her side hugging their little daughter. "Why is Mom so heartless towards Alice? Alice is a very good wife and mother. She is also a caring daughter-in-law. Why can't Mom accept her well?" Edmund mused bitterly. After one breath, he sat on the edge of the bed. He looked at his poor wife. Feeling pity, he began to gently stroke her hair. "Sorry I haven't given you the best. Sorry I haven't changed my mother." Either because of Edmund's touch or whisper, Alice woke up. "Ed?" She let go of Sky carefully then got up. "What's wrong? Did something happen to your mother?" Hearing that worry, Edmund's breathing became heavier. "No, she is fine. Her blood pressure has dropped. I have also asked the nurse to accompany her and check her again." Alice blinked for a moment. "Then what are you doing here? Didn't you sa

"Why do you think Sky likes to explore various destinations?" Edmund asked, whispering. Alice blinked as she searched for the answer. When she found it, she gasped. Edmund smiled faintly. "First session, we do it here." "Ed, wait. How many sessions do we usually do? Ed?" Too late, Edmund had begun to act. Alice was immediately lulled. She could just surrender and enjoy. Now she even doubted Emma's statement. Was it true that she was crazy about Edmund, even since their first night? Not the other way around? Edmund was too wild to be tamed. Without their knowing, in the next room, Sky had just sat down and rubbed her eyes. Her head whipped around looking for the source of the sound. "Is that Mama's voice? Is Papa torturing her? Why is she asking for forgiveness?" After blinking for a moment, Sky grabbed her teddy bear. She stroked Grassy's head, whispering, "But Papa couldn't possibly torture Mama. He

"Yes, you're like out of breath, Mama. You're lucky I was very sleepy last night. Otherwise, I would have reprimanded you and Uncle Ed." While Alice grimaced, Sky put her hands on her hips. Her style was like a mother giving advice to her child. "Night time is the time to rest, Mama. You should be sleeping, not playing until you scream like that. What if someone else is disturbed? Poor them. I think I'll have to ask Mrs. Klein and the others later. If it turns out they heard it too, Mama and Uncle Ed should apologize to them." "No, Honey. Please don't ask them," Alice shook her head swiftly. She now bent down, holding Sky's arm. The little girl pulled her head back in surprise. "Why?" "I want to ask them directly. If they heard it, I can immediately apologize. Just leave this matter to me, hmm? This is my responsibility." Sky blinked adorablely. "Okay, but don't forget, Mama. Your voice was really loud last night. Oh, Mama? What's wron

"Where are they? Why didn't you tell them to come in? You should have just directed them here without asking," Elizabeth grumbled.The servant nodded. "Okay, Ma'am." While Alice was wondering, Sky whispered to her, "Mama, are Grandma's friends good people?" Alice shook her head. "I don't know, Honey. But, it's good if we stay alert. Whatever they say, ignore it. They might have been incited by Grandma to not like us." Sky pouted. Her shoulders drooped. Resting her chin on her book, she muttered, "I think this is going to be a very boring day." Alice could only stroke her head with pity. She should have forced Sky to accompany Edmund to the office. That way, the little girl wouldn't get caught up in the tension between her mother and her grandmother. A moment later, three women dressed in expensive clothes entered with bright smiles. They were not young anymore. However, none of wrinkles on their faces were visibl

"Oh, Madam? Where did you buy that beautiful brooch?" Sky pointed her finger again. The woman flinched. She looked down at her crystal brooch. She didn't thought there was anything special about it. The shape alone resembled a strange butterfly. "This is a souvenir from my niece. She came to visit me last week." "Is she from Oregon?" The owner of the brooch was wide-eyed. "Yeah! How did you know?" Sky's eyes lit up. Her feet jumped a little. "It must be a rare butterfly from Oregon, Ma'am. It's called Leona's Little Blue." The woman blinked at Sky. "You're very smart. Have you ever seen it in person?" Sky shook her head. "No, I saw it in a magazine. Mama read it for me. There aren't many of them anymore. They're rare. I'm very afraid that they will become extinct. Their color is very beautiful, Ma'am. Bluish white, just like the color of your brooch. Your niece is so nice to give such a special gift." The woman chuckled
Mr. President's Lost Wife 112. Next Plan
"Sorry, Honey. Mama didn't know you felt that way. But Elizabeth is my mother-in-law, your father's mother. I have to respect her," Alice explained softly."I understand that. I also know that Mama is trying to melt her heart. I'm not forbidding you from being kind, Mama. I just don't want you to try for something in vain." Alice's face suddenly stiffened. Sky's words jolted her senses. "In vain?" "I think Grandma will never change, Mama. She doesn't like us. No matter how hard you try, no matter how often you show her your sincerity, she will never change." Suddenly, Sky's expression turned gloomy. She flipped the page over again, showing a picture of Elizabeth hugging a woman with horns on her mouth and head. "Grandma only likes Giselle. Until whenever, she will keep to praise Giselle and put you down. I don't want you to be sad because of them." "No, Honey," Alice shook her head slightly. "I'm not sad. I'm jus

"You want to keep Edmund busy again?" Elizabeth sighed.Straightening her back, Giselle raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, I'll handle him. Your job is to keep Alice busy. Let's make sure the two of them don't communicate much. A lack of communication is the main factor that causes arguments in the household, right?" "Okay, I understand. It's a very easy task. I'll keep that stupid woman so busy that she doesn't have time to touch her phone." Giselle nodded in a graceful manner. "Thank you, Mrs. Hills. I'm counting on you." While Elizabeth's smile turned crooked, her eyes narrowed. Her mind began to devise tactics to cause trouble for Alice. When she imagined the result, she laughed cynically. "Lack of communication alone is not enough to destroy a relationship. We need to shake their trust," she muttered slyly. "What do you think, Madam?" Elizabeth buried her head into the pillow. "You'll see. I'll make her cry non-stop." ***
Mr. President's Lost Wife 114. Emergency
Alice blinked in surprise. Not because of what Elizabeth accused her of, but because of her appearance. "Mom, are you okay? Why is your face so red?" "Don't change the subject! I asked why you dare to spend so much? You think it's your money? That's my son's money!" Alice ignored Elizabeth's scolding. She noticed the numbers flashing on the screen. Not only did Elizabeth's heart rate increase, but also her blood pressure. "Jeez," Alice breathed faintly. She immediately grabbed Sky's shoulder. "Honey, could you please call a nurse?" "Is Grandma seriously ill again?" The little girl stared wide-eyed. In her heart, she felt anxious. She had annoyed Elizabeth earlier. "Yes, please call her quickly." "Okay, Mama." While Sky ran out, Alice stared closely at Elizabeth. "Mom, please don't be angry. Your tension is high again." "I'm fine. Don't make things up. Are you afraid I'll ask you to return the money you used? You
