Mr. & Mrs.

Chapter 22: Being Hit by Her Mother-in-law

How did she think he was a wolf in sheep's clothing?

It was his first time. So what? Why did he tell her? It was also her first time!

She narrowed her eyes slightly. Just when she was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of

Alex's mother, Jennifer, coming downstairs.

She immediately stood up and said politely, "Mom..."

Seeing Maisy, Jennifer didn't seem to be happy. She walked up to Maisy, raised her hand, and slapped

Maisy hard.

"Ouch..." Maisy, who was suddenly slapped, tilted her head. She staggered and was unable to stand

firmly, so she fell onto the sofa.

Her delicate hand was covering her face that was so hot and hurt. She looked up at her mother-in-law,

Jennifer. Her eyes were slightly reddish, "Why are you hitting me?"

Jennifer squinted her eyes sharply and looked at Maisy angrily, "Do you dare to ask why? What bad

things did you say about Alex in front of Mr. Hussain? Mr. Hussain was furious in the study room and

said that he would drive Alex out of HOSS Group. You cruel woman, Alex is your husband. How dare

you treat him this way? Do you want him to be expelled from HOSS Group?"

After saying it, Jennifer glared at Maisy angrily. She raised her hand and wanted to slap Maisy again.

Maisy had no time to dodge. But Jennifer's wrist was suddenly caught by a big hand.

Jennifer saw that it was Austin who prevented her from hitting Maisy. She concealed the complicated

emotions in her heart. She was very uneasy about his sudden return. Besides, she was even afraid

that the real purpose of his return. Since he went abroad ten years ago, she never thought he would

come back again. She thought he would have...

She looked at Austin and pretended to be surprised, but her tone was displeased, "Austin, what are

you doing? Although you are the eldest grandson of HOSS Family. I am your elder after all. So what?

You just returned home, but you want to stop me to teach my daughter-in-law a lesson?"

Austin's indifferent gaze fell on Maisy's red and swollen face. A trace of ruthless flashed unconsciously

in his dark eyes. His eyes darkened like night. Some words came out from his thin lips, "Madam, you

can teach your daughter-in-law a lesson privately, but it's not appropriate here."

After saying it, Austin let go of Jennifer's hand. Then he sat back on the leather sofa again, with an

elegant temperament and extraordinary aura, just like an emperor.

Maisy didn't expect Austin to help her. Her reddish eyes turned towards him, with a slight surprise in

them.

Jennifer, who was stopped by Austin, didn't dare to openly fight with Austin, so she could only vent her

anger on Maisy.

She looked at Maisy with displeased expression and roared, "What are you doing here? Don't you go

to the kitchen to help Melissa cook? You really think you’re the hostess of Hussain Family."

Hearing this, Maisy lowered her eyes. Her slender eyelashes concealed the emotions in her watery

eyes. She got up and went straight to the kitchen. She hadn't wanted to face Jennifer long ago, so it

was just right to go to the kitchen.

Austin's indifferent gaze followed her slender back. His eyes darkened. His face had no expression. No

one knew what he was thinking about.

Seeing Maisy coming in, Melissa, who was busy in the kitchen, was a little surprised, "Mrs. Hussain,

why are you here?"

Maisy looked at Melissa with a smile, and said in a clear voice, "Melissa, I’m going to help you."

Melissa looked at Maisy and saw that half of her face was red and swollen. She sighed and said with

distressed, "Mrs. Hussain, you are wronged again! I don't know what Mr. Alex and madam are thinking

about. Why can't they see how good you are? Mrs. Hussain, you should quickly apply an ice pack to

your face. I don’t need help here." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
