Chapter 610
“Could you come over and play chess with me and your grandma?” Phillip invited her with a smile.
Arabella chuckled, “Sure.”
Mr. Winters tried to lighten the mood: “Never thought Derek would be fooled by a scam, but luckily this gift still ended up in Shirley’s hands. The sender might be different, but the sentiment is still nice.”
Romeo’s eyes dimmed; wasn’t he just a shameless one?
“Different sender, different sentiment.” Romeo said calmly, “This is a gift from Bella as a granddaughter–in–law to grandma. It’s fundamentally different from a gift from Ms. Enid.”
Mr. Winters‘ smile froze but quickly returned, agreeing with a yes.
Romeo’s gaze fell on Enid, “Ms. Enid hasn’t formally apologized to my future wife yet.”
Enid looked confused, apologize?
“Ms. Enid was quite harsh just now, rude even. My fiancée is quite introverted and you scared her.”
Hearing Romeo say this, Enid was fuming!
Arabella introverted? Where was she introverted? She looked like she was afraid of nothing!
With the McMillan family backing her up, she became disrespectful and unbridled!
She was clearly arrogant, yet they had the audacity to call her introverted, clearly playing favorites!
Since this was happening in the McMillan’s house, Mr. Winters pretended to scold, “Derek, you misunderstood Ms. Bella’s good intentions without knowing the full story. Better apologize.”
Even though Enid was unhappy, her grandpa had spoken, so she had to bite the bullet and pretend to apologize: “I’m sorry, my attitude was inappropriate.” Regardless of whether Arabella forgave her, Mr. Winters quickly changed the subject: “Ms. Bella is magnanimous; I’m sure she won’t take this to heart. Remember your status and think three times before you act.”
Enid pretended to comply, saying, “Yes, I’ll heed grandpa’s words.”
“Alright, it’s getting late; you all should get some rest.” Shirley ended the meeting, not wanting to see their faces any longer.
Phillip stood up with a smile and said, “Remember your grandpa’s words when you return home. The elders have more experience than you, and young people should be modest and cautious.”
His words had three layers:
First, to express dissatisfaction with Enid’s behaviour.
Second, to remind Enid to be polite to Arabella, who now had the McMillan family’s protection.
Third, elders have more experience; don’t offend them, or they have many ways to make life difficult for the Winters family.
Enid didn’t expect Phillip to protect Arabella this much so she bowed her head, pretending to repent, and said, “Thanks for the reminder, Grandpa Phillip. I was wrong.”
Mr. Winters laughed, saying, “I’m sorry, I spoiled my only granddaughter!”
He wanted to lighten the mood with a joke, but Phillip’s smile only grew colder.
“We only have one granddaughter–in–law, but she’s not spoiled or arrogant. Instead, she’s an honest person who’s easily taken advantage of. I need to have a chat with her. You should also educate your granddaughter properly. She’s still young, so there’s still time to teach her. You don’t need to visit anymore!” Phillip’s words left the two members of the Winters family standing in shock.
This was completely different from the warm welcome at the beginning.
Brodie quickly offered the fake chess board with both hands: “Mr. Winters, Ms. Enid, please follow me.”
