Chapter 434 Aren't You Tired?

Christopher hung his head. He understood everything that Jenny had explained to him, but he couldn't

stop worrying.

While they were waiting in silence, a family in a Bardoff City castle was discussing Jenny.

’Dad, Mom, did you know that Christopher brought home a woman today?" A young lady beamed as

she shared the gossip with her parents.

The woman who sat at the head of the table raised her brows, looking interested and surprised. "Oh?

What kind of woman is she? I thought people said that Christopher wasn't interested in women."

She was Rowena Glass, the matriarch of the Walter family. Seated beside her was the head of the

Walter family, Graham Walter. The young lady they spoke to was their only daughter, Jolene.

I heard she’s from a small city, and I bet she's not up to the standard. Christopher's parents are

probably strongly against that woman. Who knows? They might be in a huge fight right now."

Jolene was not close to Christopher in the first place. They were acquaintances that brushed shoulders

a few times at events. In Jolene's eyes, the successor of the second-tier Spade family was not worthy

of friendship. Still, that would not stop her from spreading gossip.

“That kid is too naive. He can't possibly expect to make his own decisions on marriage when he's born

to an influential family." Rowena dropped a casual remark as she stole a glance at Graham. He merely

ate his breakfast and ignored the two women as though they were invisible.

An excited Jolene didn't notice the awkward tension between her parents and said, "I heard that

woman once saved Harvey Spade. That's why Christopher treated her differently."

‘Saving Harvey Spade? I bet it was a calculated encounter. She might have made the move just to get

closer to Christopher. Poor kid thought she was a savior."

Rowena's comment sounded jarring to Graham. He finally placed his cutlery on the table and shot her

an icy look. "Why? You want to pick a fight early in the morning?"

Her shock quickly turned into anger. "Why? Did I hit you where it hurts? And did that ruin your

appetite?"

‘You're impossible!" He stood and left the dining room, presumably heading to the office. He felt

frustrated whenever she was around.

Rowena was unconcerned by his outburst. At the end of the day, he married her over that bitch, who

was nothing but ashes by now.

Dumbfounded, Jolene stared at her with a hint of displeasure. "Mom, why do you always provoke him?"

‘You won't understand. It's complicated between your dad and me." Rowena treated her daughter

better.

Indeed, Jolene was unaware of the history between her parents. Even since she could remember, the

two never had a meal in peace.

Sighing, she advised Rowena, "I know you're not over the fact that Dad was once into another woman.

But she's dead now, and he married you at the end. Do you still need to fight with him over it? Is that

what you want for the rest of your life with him? Aren't you tired?"

It was hard for Jolene to understand her mom, and she believed it would be best to let bygones be

bygones.

Unfortunately, Rowena didn't share the same opinion. "Tired?" She chuckled. "How would I be tired?

Fighting with him is what keeps me going in this life."

Given how he had treated her in the past, Graham's pain was her happiness. How would she feel

tired? In fact, it was exhilarating.
