Chapter 508 - Who should be blamed for this? (1/2)
Ryn was still taken aback by her best friend's unexpected cheerful mood when she answered the call. She thought when Mika finally answered the call, she would receive cries and accusations and she was prepared herself for it.
But this... this cheerful Mika?
And after she ignored Mika's several calls and did not even call Mika back quickly when she noticed the miscalls?
She usually has to spend more than an hour or two just to coax Mika to forgive her. But right now....?
”Is that little Catheryn? Give me the phone.”
Suddenly Ryn heard a quite familiar voice and her heart pounded hard. Uh oh...
Had the episode of that reality show being showed yet? Oh no... what should she do?
”Little Catheryn?”
”Erm... yes, Dowager... I mean, Grandmother Long?” Ryn asked politely but still weakly. She was hoping that the Dowager was in a happy mood so she would not receive any nag.
”I've seen your episode,” the Dowager started.
Mika already focussed on her fiance, not realizing that her best friend on the other side was hoping for her to take back the phone and kept it away from both her mother and grandmother.
”You... do you... do you like it?” Ryn asked in a small voice. She was scared of receiving a scold from the elder woman, even though she was being herself but she realized and admitted that her kind of normal life was not everyone's cup of tea. Especially in Dowager's eyes, her refusal of eating vegetables always made the elder woman so angry. She just could not understand why Ryn refused to eat vegetables.
Vegetables are good for health. Every type of vegetable has its own benefit for health and for beauty too but little Catheryn refused with such stubbornness it felt like she was forced to eat grenade.
”Like it? Watching you pretending to eat vegetables?”
Ryn grimaced when she heard a very familiar sound of cane thumping to the floor. And it was not even once but thrice. Uh oh... the Dowager was not pleased when she learned about the trick she made in order to avoid eating those hateful things.
”I don't understand why you need to use tricks to avoid eating vegetables. You do know how good vegetables are for your health. I bet you even have constipation,” the Dowager accused.
Ryn was so shocked she forgot how to breathe. Did Dowager said she had that just because she refused to eat vegetables? How could the elder woman even have that thought about her? Had the elder woman has so much time until she kept thinking about others?
But she was taught by her mother and father not to be rude so she kept quiet as the Dowager spoke out all her dissatisfaction about what she found unacceptable during Ryn's episode.
It was just about her using a trick not eating vegetables but the elder woman actually spent almost an hour nagging over it. Silently Ryn wondered how long Mika's battery could last. Would it die first or would the Dowager stop before the battery ran out of juice?
”Have your parents commented about this? the Dowager asked with a ċȯċk of an eyebrow. She knew how Ryn's parents were all about eating green and avoid eating anything which used to have life. For sure the parents, especially the mother would scold Ryn for ignoring the vegetables and kept eating meat. And my God, how many steaks does the girl need to eat in one seating? The Dowager could not believe it at first until she and her daughter-in-law had to watch twice just to ensure that they got the amount right. She knew that Ryn's appetite was bigger than any normal woman but to eat that much in one seating? And steak after steak after steak for the whole day?
The Dowager gad no doubt the girl did not like when she needed to use the toilet.
Ryn took a deep breath to calm herself. She needed to stay calm. Stay calm. The Dowager is an elderly woman and most importantly she is Jeremy and Mika's grandmother. Ryn must not go against her upbringing and replied back sarcastically like she desperately wanted to do now.
Stay calm, Ryn, stay calm.
