Chapter 191 Old Mrs. Riley Doted on Her Daughter-in-Law and Dealt with the Bully
As soon as Logan finished speaking, old Mrs. Riley left the house and called out joyfully.
“Adeline.”
Adeline bowed and lowered the ramp of Curtis's car, then she tied his wheelchair securely and began to push him down. Hearing that old Mrs. Riley calling for her, her body instinctively trembled.
After she managed to land Curtis on the ground, she turned around and responded, "Grandma."
Old Mrs. Riley warmly shook Adeline's hand, smiling as she examined Adeline more closely. She was very pleased to see her.
She turned her head and scolded Logan, "Don't you see that your Uncle Curtis is here? Why don't you offer to help? Look at how considerate Adeline is. She knows the importance of respecting the elderly and caring for the young even though she was young."
Then, she tured to Curtis and said, "Look at you. Adeline is so considerate. You, as the elder, don't seem to know how to take care of others. Look how cold these little hands are."
Curtis was speechless.
At the same time, Alston and Yetta, who were also there to make sure nothing had happened, almost choked on their saliva when they heard old Mrs. Riley's words.
Alston repeated with a faint smile, "Yes, she's very respectful to the elderly and caring for the young.” Adeline didn't say anything.
Old Mrs. Riley took Adeline by the hand and walked away while she was saying, "Stop standing there. I had Shaylee prepare some hot soup to keep you all warm. Everyone, go inside and have some before sleeping.”
The others moved towards the dining table.
Victoria, who was worried that something might go wrong, hurriedly put on her coat and came downstairs. Viola, who was lodging there temporarily also came down and called sweetly, “Grandma.”
"What makes you here?” Old Mrs. Riley's expression turned cold
"It was Aunt who invited me to Uncle's birthday party. She was concerned that my sister would be uncomfortable on her own here, so she invited me to accompany her," while Viola was speaking, she was looking at Victoria
Victoria replied with a smile, "That's right, Mom. I was worried that Adeline would be alone.”
"Oh? So, are you saying that nobody in this house can keep her company now?" Old Mrs. Riley raised her eyebrow, her tone tinged with sarcasm as she glanced at Victoria.
"This year, your husband's birthday party is low-key, just for the family to gather. As the wife, shouldn't you have a sense of propriety?”
Victoria tried to joke and make herself less embarrassed, “Mom, where are these words coming from? Viola and Adeline are sisters. She is part of the family too.”
Old Mrs. Riley snorted, "It's right that they are sisters, but there are distinctions in closeness. It's fine for her to come and have a meal. We can afford this little meal expense. What I'm afraid of is that some people's ambitions soar to the sky while their abilities are paper-thin. yet they still think they can achieve the impossible."
Adeline was shocked
Old Mrs. Riley was very blunt with her words!
Viola's expression looked awkward, and she wished she could find a hole to hide in it. Victoria's expression froze too and was finding it difficult to respond.
Seeing old Mrs. Riley holding Adeline's hand throughout the conversation, Victoria felt somewhat annoyed.
"Mom, Viola was invited by me. Isn't it a bit disresGectful to me for you to act this way? Besides, Violaand =. Adeline @e biological sisters. Yous have been holding onto one of their handsince you entered the house while speaking so harshly tothe other one. Don't you find that you are a bit over?"
Victoria's words made Adeline realize that old Mrs. Riley had been holding her hand since she arrived and felt somewhat embarrassed. She wanted to pull her hand away.
Old Mrs. Riley held onto it firmly and responded determinedly.
“That's what I prefer!"
Victoria was speechless.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
"I find Adeline very pleasing!"
Victoria didn't know what to say.
"When Adeline gets married, I even want to give her a share of my assets!"
Hearing that, Victoria’s expression darkened slightly.
‘Furthermere, Adeline saved my life. in the past If I don't treat her well and treat others well, wouldn't it be a disgrace? People might say that as an.old lady, I have no conscience."
Victor clenched her fists and didn't dare to say a word.
Old Mrs. Riley gave Viola a casual glance. Then, she told Victoria with a tone of admonition as if teaching the younger generation.
‘Self-awareness and self-respect are valuable traits: If everyone practices them in thei? daily life, no one will ever look down upon them. Victor, you reolder but still inexperienced in assessing people. I don't blame you. Lean it from me in the future."
"Alright," Victoria gritted her teeth in response.
Adeline was shocked to see Victoria being humiliated like that.
Old Mrs. Riley's words were exceptionally powerful!
She managed to criticize Victoria for being so unwise as well as her old age indirectly!
She subconsciously glanced at Curtis, who happened to be looking at her.
Curtis said internally, "Look. That's how impressive our mom is."
Adeline seemed to read those words which were on Curtis's mind and blushed slightly.
Old Mrs. Riley keenly caught the exchange of glances between the two and thought to herself.
"Why do they look sweet?"
