I didn't approach him as enthusiastically as usual, and Aaron's dissatisfaction was immediately apparent. He said loudly and sarcastically, "If the child's mother hadn't insisted on going back to her parents' home, why would I bother you to work overtime during the holidays to help me take care of the child?"
Grace looked at him lovingly and said softly, "As an employee, it is my duty to share the boss's worries. However, Madam, you are going too far. How can you abandon your children and husband so easily? When I get married in the future, I will definitely put my family first and will never abandon my beloved husband and lovely twins."
Upon hearing this, the two children immediately threw themselves into Grace's arms and shouted in childish voices: "Mommy Grace doesn't want to get married! We want to be your children! Mommy Grace doesn't want to get married!"
Grace hesitated and glanced at Aaron : "Why shouldn't a woman get married..."
Aaron was about to reply when he caught sight of me leaning weakly on the sofa. The smile on his face disappeared instantly: "How long have you been eavesdropping here? After all these years, you still can't change your sneaky and despicable behavior."
He rolled his eyes at me without hiding it, and the two children followed suit, looking at me with disgust. Grace hid behind Aaron with a wronged look on her face , and said timidly: "Madam, I don't mean anything else, but there is no one to take care of the two young masters, so I came here to stay for a few days."
Although she said she was staying for a few days, she was pulling a huge suitcase in her hand, as if she was going to move all her belongings here.
I looked at Aaron weakly, and spoke with the last bit of affection: "Three days ago, your parents were in a car accident and were given a critical illness notice. You should go to the city hospital as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Aaron's eyes instantly turned cold as ice: "Don't lie to me with these lies. It was obviously your parents who had a car accident. What does it have to do with my parents?"
Grace also frowned and said, "Madam, even if you are angry, you can't curse your parents-in-law, can you? They treat you well."
Aaron was furious and pulled me up from the sofa: "Your parents cherish their lives so much, how could they be willing to die? This must be another conspiracy between your family to deceive me, right?"
After saying that, without waiting for my answer, he dragged me out roughly: "Don't you want to leave? Why don't you leave? You have been staying in my house all this time, isn't it because you can't bear to give up this wealth and glory?"
After being hungry for days, I was powerless to resist, and my white and tender knees were also worn out by his rough movements. My parents-in-law were pretty good to me, and I couldn't just watch them lying in the cold hospital with no one caring about them. So, I forced myself to speak: " Aaron , your parents are really in the hospital, you can go and see them, I'm not lying-ah!"
He suddenly pulled my hair back and yelled viciously: "Shut up!"
The two children clapped and cheered, and even jumped up excitedly: "Beat her! Beat up mommy!"
Grace's eyes flashed with a trace of gloating, but she stopped him hypocritically: "Oh, don't be like this, the lady was also confused for a moment, she didn't mean it."
Aaron snorted coldly and let go of her hand: "Only you are kind-hearted enough to plead for her. Have you forgotten that this woman has been acting weird in your circle of friends?"
Grace's eyes suddenly turned red: "After all, I'm here to work, it's okay to suffer a little grievance."
They sang the same tune, as if I was the unforgivable sinner.
My heart was dead, Aaron 's actions were simply trampling on the sincerity I had given in the past marriage. I looked at them coldly: "Okay, your parents are fine, I was talking nonsense, and I went crazy on Grace 's circle of friends. It's my fault, it's all my fault, okay?!"
Aaron frowned and held my wrist tightly. "Is this how you admit your mistakes?"
It was obviously a sarcastic remark, but Aaron thought I was really admitting my mistake. I took a few steps back, full of curiosity, wondering how he would feel after learning that his parents had been in a car accident a few days ago. I had told him this news many times, but he just didn't believe it. Grace could n't help but smile, and acted like a hostess: "Okay, okay, she has admitted her mistake anyway, let's eat first, and stop making trouble."
She took out a few take-away boxes from the black bag: "This is the food we didn't finish. I thought Madam must be hungry after not eating for several days, so I packed it up for you."
The special take-away box was unique to Manjianglou, and one dish cost several thousand yuan. The amount on the receipt that was accidentally exposed was 68,000 yuan. He had the money to take his secretary to a 68,000 yuan dinner, but he couldn't bear to spend the several thousand yuan on my plane ticket to go home.
"It may be a little cold, ma'am, please don't mind, I'll go heat it up for you." Grace said.
Aaron looked at me with disdain: "She likes to pack up cold dishes, why bother. If it weren't for her, how could I do such a low-class thing as packing up."
He said that taking away food would be a downgrade, but he was actually mocking me. Grace placed the steaming hot food in front of me and said, "It only takes two minutes to heat it in the microwave. It's not a big deal. Madam, please eat it."
The heated dishes turned yellow and soft, and looked like slop that had been left for a long time. Even the rice had traces of soup from the dishes that had been turned over and eaten. Grace playfully stuck out her tongue at me: "I only ate a little of this rice, and I packed it up for you because I didn't want to waste it. You don't mind, do you?"
I felt so sick that I wanted to vomit, but because I hadn't eaten for a few days, I could only dry heave and spit out sour water. Grace looked at Aaron with red eyes: "Does Madam dislike me? Or do you have a problem with me?"
The older son said with disgust: "Dad said Mom used to like to rummage through the trash cans, but she wouldn't mind it. Mom loves to eat trash the most!" Although the younger son said nothing, he kept glaring at me.
