Chapter 59 The Trouble Caused By Lydia (1/2)
Since it was his family issue, she thought she'd better stay out of it instead of creating more trouble for him.
There was little she could do to help him now.
Carl was in charge of sending her home. While Hiram was taken by another car. He would be sent to his parents' home directly.
When Hiram arrived at his parents' house, he saw his mother Joanna already waiting for him on the couch in the living room. She looked a little distressed.
”Mom, what's wrong?” Hiram asked.
When Joanna saw him, she stood up and pulled him aside to the guest room. ”Hiram, I'm afraid that things have become more complicated now, ” Joanna said.
Hiram furrowed his eyebrows at the embarrassment on his mother's face. ”Mom, what happened?” he asked.
”Well, the thing is... Rachel's mom came by to talk about the wedding when you weren't home. Lydia overheard it and did something terrible.”
Joanna sighed deeply before continuing, ”First of all, we didn't tell your mother-in-law everything about our family before. Now the situation has gotten worse after what Lydia said... I don't know what happened to her these two years to make her become so unsociable that she would say... that she would say...” Joanna seemed to be too shocked to finish the sentence.
Hearing that, Hiram furrowed his brow even deeper. If Lydia hadn't said anything terrible, his mother wouldn't be so anxious. Lydia had definitely said something that she wasn't supposed to say.
”Lydia has been really spoiled by me. It was out of my expectation that she would say you and her were engaged long before. And if not for Rachel, you two would be married a long time ago, ” Joanna kept saying.
She shook her head, as if to blame herself. She was also regretting not being truthful to Fannie. If she had told Fannie everything right from the start, then...
”Your mother-in-law is also a dignified person. How can she accept something like that? She said that as soon as Rachel gets back, she will let her know. And if we can't give them a good explanation, she will ask Rachel to move out from your place, ” Joanna continued.
”How about Lydia? Where is she now?” Hiram asked suddenly.
Joanna shook her head and said, ”I think she knows how much trouble she has created. After all, your marriage was decided by your great-grandfathers a long time ago. I haven't seen her since this afternoon.
I think she has hidden herself. She's been hiding herself whenever she created any trouble since she was a child.”
At the same time...
Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.
