Chapter 006 After an hour‘s car ride, Nova arrived at King‘s Way Mansion with mixed feelings. As they entered, they heard an exciting voice came from the sofa, “My dear granddaughter–in–law! Nova, come to grandma! I‘ve been looking forward to you.” Nova‘s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she felt that her eyes were going to betray her true feelings. She finally managed to produce a faint smile and said, “Grandma, sorry, I‘ve been...” Before she could finish, Mabel patted her hand kindly and said softly, “You don‘t need to tell me. Grandma know all your plights. I know.” Nova subconsciously raised her head to look at Mabel, and, in surprise, she asked tentatively, “You...know?” It‘s not right. If Grandma knows our divorce, she wouldn‘t speak to me in this way and call me granddaughter–in–law... Henry also looked at Mabel in surprise. Mabel cast a blaming glance at Henry and then looked at Nova with tenderness. She said gently, “Yes, grandma knows. This brat is out of his mind. He doesn‘t cherish the best wife I chose for him!” Nova looked at Mabel in surprise. Grandma really knows? Mabel took Nova‘s hands and sat down with her. She said to Mabel with determination, “You rest assured. If he dared to night out ever again, I‘ll break his leg! You‘ll see how grandma teach him a lesson!”
Nova‘s doubts were dispelled Grandma knew thats elled. Grandma knew that she was having a hard time, but Grandma knew nothing about their divorce. Seeing Henry‘s face shrouded with clouds of unwillingness, Mabel exclaimed in anger, “Why are you so reluctant? What? Your old grandma just want to have dinner with you and I have to see your disposition first?” Henry changed his expression and looked toward Mabel, “No. How would I dare.” “Humph! You dare to do anything!” “You‘re not a little boy! And you haven‘t given me a great–grand–baby! Having no offspring is the worst among all the unfilial doings. Do you know that!” Seeing that grandma wanted to stand up, Nova hurried helped grandma. Henry frowned and cast a glance at Nova. The servants had been serving dishes to the dinning table when they saw Henry come back. Mabel held Nova‘s hand and went to the dinning table with her. Mabel said, “Come, let‘s have dinner. If he doesn‘t like to eat, he can get out and never return!” Henry‘s face seemed to be shrouded in darker clouds. He didn‘t utter a sound but silently sat opposite them. Mabel enthusiastically put dishes in front of Nova. It seemed that Nova was her granddaughter and Henry was the one married into their family. Nova also enjoyed the food and chatted jovially with Mabel. Henry acted
as if he had been isolated and he only took several bites. Then, he looked at Mabel and asked, “Grandma, why do you want... want us to come back for a dinner all of a sudden?”
“How long has it been since you come back last time?” Said Mabel. She felt angrier as Henry‘s voice reminded her of his presence and how little concern he had to this marriage. She continued, “Can‘t you spend some time with me? Your grandfather is often on business trips, and I‘m home all by myself. How could you ask such an inhuman question?” Henry was speechless. He then remained silent and focused on eating. The more Mabel talked, the angrier she became. And then she slapped the table angrily, “Anyway! Nova is your wife! You should care about her and love her. Why are you seeing that bitch in the hospital all the time! Haven‘t you brought enough shame to Our Kings!” Henry darkened his face, “Grandma, she saved my life.” “Saved your sorry ass? You‘ll know that‘s her trick if you aren‘t blind!” Henry frowned and cast an icy glance at Nova.
