Now the old man gave them such a great deal of money, she began to get jealous. "Dad, this abalone porridge is very good, you have a taste!"

James looked at Abby. "Don't just talk about your brother. How many times have you been back since you got married? Not as good as your brother, you just ask for money when you come home."

Abby lowered her head and looked at Bruce angrily. Why was it like the sun rose in the west today? This couldn't be Catherine that cast a magic.

"Come on, fresh pork chop corn soup, have a taste." Amanda came out from the kitchen carrying the casserole, she opened the lid, a fresh smell came.

She looked at her daughter with her head down, she was still so disappointing. James was first served a bowl of sparerib soup. "Bruce, Catherine you all have a taste, before you come here it has already been stewed."

Bruce didn't look up at her at all. Their relationship was notoriously bad. The atmosphere became more subtle. Amanda took off her apron and sat down beside James.

No one spoke during the meal, only the clatter of spoons and bowls. Catherine was happy at the quietness. It was a safe meal. Amanda was not so terrible, only a very scheming old woman got in the way. If Bruce was more serious, there would be no place in the family for her.

"Time is getting late, you all go back, don't make me and your father worry." Amanda pushed James and looked at them as if to send them out.

Abby wiped her mouth and picked up the bag to go. She could not stay at home any more, next time she would ask Jack Ying to come back with her.

"Mother, you must take good care of father, I will go home. The weather is getting colder. Pay more attention to yourselves, and I'll see you in a couple of days."

Amanda looked at Abby tenderly, she only had such one daughter, all she did was for her to be able to live better. A daughter was deemed to join another family on marriage. But only with a stable maiden home she could stand firm. This daughter was spoiled, but was brainless, she really made her mother worried to death.

Looking at Bruce who was motionless, Amanda smiled. "Don't worry about your father. I will take good care of him. You can go back in peace."

Bruce smiled back at her. She wanted him to go so much, but he wouldn't.

"They're staying here tonight, and they're not going anywhere. Don't bother about it." James looked outside the door, and took control of the wheelchair himself and left.

The show seemed to be over, but it didn't seem so easy.

Catherine leaned on Bruce, "Aunt Liu, the bowls and chopsticks look quite a lot, let me help you wash the dishes!"

Amanda's footsteps stopped, she turned and looked at Catherine malevolently. This little girl had sharp mouth, but she was not easy to deal with. Cleaning up had always been the job of the cleaning woman in the kitchen. Now her fingers were so well maintained, how could she touch those things?

"There's nothing, you go upstairs and it will be quiet. This is Cathy's first night at home. Amanda, you go and help her clean it up. All those towels, toothbrushes, everything got prepared." James pushed the door and went into the study.

The smile slowly froze in the face, originally thought she had nothing to do, but had to work hard to prepare things. Watching James disappear, Amanda's eyes became dark and unclear.

This old man was more and more useless, Bruce's identity had been fixed, and now his little fortune was the only thing left to them. In order to live a better life, she endured James's eccentric temper, but did not get much benefit.

James went into the study and the whole person became haggard, seemed ten years older! Helen, do you know that our son has finally grown up and had a wife? I know you won't forgive me for the rest of my life, but I was really misunderstood, and it's all my fault.

That day I did not know why Amanda slept next to me, even lying in my arms. I thought you would believe me, but when I saw what you were holding, I realized it wasn't that simple.

James touched the beautiful woman in the frame, who was sitting on the swing in the back garden. The morning sun was shining behind her, her smile was sunnier than the sun. Moist eyes couldn't call her back who had left for many years, James couldn't stop confessing.

Abby is really my daughter, and I don't want to deny it. You probably have forgotten who Amanda is, and so have I for so many years. But when I saw that sheet, I remembered that I had been drunk once, and had done one thing wrong, and that was what had happened.

Bruce hated me, and I hated myself, too, and I hated myself for not being able to throw them out. I know you hate me in heaven. I've been ignoring my son all these years. I know all about it.

In the dark study, not a lamp was lighted, James cried like a child in the wheelchair. He could not forget his ex-wife, nor could he just abandon the lonely mother and daughter.

Amanda took out a new set of bath towels and some toiletries from the cabinet. "These are new. You can use them!"

Catherine rubbed her hands, the stepmother was not the same. His daughter-in-law had to do all this herself on her first day at home. "Aunt Liu, this is new, how can I directly use it, there is no disinfection. Why don't you disinfect them all for me, thank you!"

Conveniently took the bath towel, Catherine cast one eye on Amanda, twisted her bottom to walk away. Looking at the mystifying Catherine, Amanda's was very angry.

Bruce was a trouble, and now he took back another trouble. They came here to make her angry on purpose! Angrily, she took the glass and toothbrush to the kitchen and threw them in the sink.

"What's the matter with you? You're so angry. Calm down!" As soon as she finished cleaning the dishes, Nanny Liu was ready to return to her room. It happened that Amanda came in.

Hearing the voice of Nanny Liu, Amanda's anger instantly extinguished half. Good image in front of the servants, was collapsed. Amanda rubbed her temple, she was the hostess of this house, why couldn't she be angry.

"You scald this cup and toothbrush, then sterilized them in the disinfection cabinet and send them to Bruce's room."

Nanny Liu looked at the woman who angrily left the kitchen and sighed. The phoenix is the phoenix, the sparrow is the sparrow, no matter how modest the phoenix is, it will not be like the sparrow, no matter how the sparrow camouflages, it will not be a phoenix.
