CHAPTER 649 SHE WAS NOT HAPPY

Chapter 649 She Was Not Happy

Fannie was then relieved.

They had dinner at a nearby fancy restaurant.

Neither Laura nor Fannie mentioned that they met Christine at the cafe that afternoon.

In their opinion, it was a difficult problem.

If they told Max, he would be in a dilemma and it wouldn't do any good.

So they might as well not say anything.

Anyway, they hadn't done anything wrong.

As for Christine, they hoped that her attitude would change slowly over time.

They couldn't help it if she insisted on being hostile to Laura.

They couldn't keep pleasing her, could they?

It may not make them get along.

Besides, Laura was too proud to please anyone.

So neither of them felt the need to tell Max about it.

However, someone did that before them.

Max's phone rang while they were eating.

He picked it up and saw that it was a text message from his mother.

The caller ID was "Mother".

The text message was short but aggressive.

"Are you with that woman right now?"

Max looked at it and frowned.

He looked up at Laura and Fannie, who was having a nice time eating.

They were talking about old times and not looking at him.

Max quickly replied.

"What's wrong?"

Christine quickly replied.

"I met her and her mother at the cafe today. So you're supporting them both, huh? Do they think you're

stupid? Do they think you're gullible?"

Max's face suddenly darkened.

Maybe the aura around him changed, too.

Laura suddenly felt something was wrong.

She turned her head and saw him staring seriously at his phone and typing.

She raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Max didn't say anything and replied before looking up at her.

The grim look in his eyes became tender instantly.

He put away his phone and smiled.

"Nothing."

Laura frowned.

She knew Max very well and was sure that his mood had just changed.

What happened?

But Fannie was here so Laura didn't push him.

He looked capricious, but he actually lived by his own rules and principles.

So she trusted him.

Laura didn't ask but put some food on his plate.

"Stop looking at your phone. Here. Taste this."

Max picked up his fork and ate.

Fannie looked at him and smiled, "Max is busy with work. Laura, you have to be considerate as his

wife."

Laura laughed.

"Mom, I can't do it. I'm busy, too. And times have changed. Women are independent now. I don't need

him to support my life. Why should I be the considerate one?"

Max didn't dare to say anything.

He nodded.

"Yes, I can take care of myself. Laura enjoys acting. She can do what she likes." This is from .

Fannie looked at them and felt relieved and a bit fun at the same time.

She shook her head with a smile.

"I know that young people put their careers first, but you will learn at your middle age that careers and

dreams are useless if there is no one to love you and be there for you."

She thought of something and sighed.

"Your father and I loved each other. Because he died so young, I..."

Laura didn't want to bring up his late father on such an occasion.

So she reminded, "Mum..."

Fannie forced a smile, "I'm sorry."

Max looked serious.

He said, "Mum, don't worry. I will take good care of Laura and never let anything happen to her. We will

be together forever. And you have to stay healthy so that you could look after your grandchildren."

Fannie laughed.

"Grandchildren? Great."

Laura blushed shyly and glared at him.

"Don't be ridiculous!"

She hadn't agreed to have kids with him.

How could he say that?

Max smiled and didn't say anything.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was once again joyful and light.

Christine looked at the latest message from Max on her phone in anger.

Max's attitude took her by surprise.

"She's my wife and we will always help and love each other like you and Dad used to. You are a

woman too. I hope you can put yourself in her shoes. How would you have felt if Grandma had given

you such a hard time?"

Christine was angry that her son questioned her with such wording.

But it wasn't the only reason.

More importantly, he asked her how she would have felt if his grandma had given her such a hard

time...

Humph! They didn't have the nerve!

She was not to blame!

It was the Nixon family that was to blame!

Helping and loving each other?

She had been married to Chad for decades, but they had never really helped or loved each other!

Did her husband love her?

He slept with her every night, but he loved another woman.

She had thought that if she was obedient and patient enough, everything would change.

She had thought that he would love her back physically and mentally.

But it proved that it was impossible!

He loved another woman with all his heart. How could he really care for her?

The outsiders only thought that she was the proud eldest daughter-in-law of the Nixon family.

They didn't know how many tears she had shed secretly.

Everyone around her thought that she was happy and rich.

Her husband looked domestic and treated her well.
