Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1556

Angeline anxiously tried to explain herself, "Mom, I take great care of every gift that Jaybie has given to me. This is the only one that I'm re-gifting to you because of your importance in my heart. If you're happy, Jaybie would be happy as well. I think he wouldn't mind if I give you this set of jewelry."

Chloe got even angrier and said, "You truly are manipulative. You're trying to please your mother-in-law to win your husband's affection. Angeline Severe, let me tell you, I hate a scheming woman like you the most."

Angeline was dumbstruck.

She had said too much and made too many mistakes. She should stay as quiet as possible.

Josie was furious at the sight, and she continued to glare at Chloe.

Sis Shirley came forth to be their peacemaker. "Aunt Chloe, my sister Angeline anxiously came here to see you, so there wasn't enough time to prepare gifts. It would help if you forgave her for this negligence as she's still young. Next time, my sister will personally prepare you another gift."

Chloe glanced at Sis Shirley, and her eyes fell on her

bulging belly. Her expression grew more relaxed as she said, "You truly are the more sensible elder sister. You're pregnant with a child, so don't just stand over there. Come and sit."

Sis Shirley did not dare to disobey Chloe's instruction and sat quietly on the sofa on the right.

Chloe looked at Angeline who was standing as still as a wooden stake. She said to her with a look of despise on her face, "Why are you still standing around for? Now that you're here, do something and pour some drinks for the guests."

"Yes."

Angeline picked up the teapot and poured many cups of tea before respectfully handing each of them to the guests.

"Please have some tea."

These women looked at the pampered and domineering Angeline who was getting submissive after getting reprimanded by her mother-in-law. They instantly admired Chloe.

They proceeded to make cynical remarks. "Wow, Chlo, you surely are capable. Your daughter-in-law's personality has changed in front of you. She has become much more obedient now." Chloe's eyes were filled with a cocky light.

She smugly said, "A son is a piece of their mother, and a mother and their child are connected by the heart.

This blood relationship cannot be changed. However, daughters-in-law are different. If they aren't any good, someone will replace them at any time. There shouldn't be any confidence in being arrogant." Angeline bit her lip...

Mom was clearly saying these words to her face. If she did terribly, then her mother-in-law would replace her from her role as a daughter-in-law.

Was she not being too overbearing?

Chloe was still dissatisfied and continued to probe. "Do you know how to cook, Angeline?"

Angeline shook her head. "I don't."

Yorks Stronghold was still using wooden stoves and they were used to cooking big portions. These methods were foreign to Angeline.

Chloe gloomily replied, "You should be learning if you can't. Look at Judy. She's young, but she's terrific in combat skills. Plus, she knows how to cook and make medicine too. What do you know?" Angeline hated it when Chloe compared her with Judy. What Chloe's words implied was that Judy was better than her and more suitable to be her daughter-! n-law.

Angeline felt dissatisfied and turned around to enter the kitchen in the side yard.

Josie and Sis Shirley hurriedly went to support her.

With all the readily available ingredients, Angeline started chopping up the bacon and mincing the garlic cloves... She made herself awfully busy.

She had just recovered from a severe illness, and her weary body was already an old problem. Her body would get even more fatigued if she were to get anxious. At this moment, she was so busy that she was a little unsteady on her feet.

Sis Shirley worriedly looked at Angeline and suddenly grabbed the knife over. She said in a pique, "I can see it now, Angeline. Your mother-in-law is deliberately targeting you. Your body cannot withstand her torment. Pack up your bags along with Jay and go back to the capital."

Josephine nodded in agreement. "Sis Angeline, even Sis Shirley can't stand it anymore and she's the most patient among us. Don't insist on staying here. Fleeing is one of the best options right now."
