4 My In-laws hate me (1/2)

Shola looked at her mother in confusion, then turned to look at Nathan whose face was covered in guilt

”I'm not sure yet. I'm still trying to find out how the poison got into Sholana's food, I promise I will....”

”Don't promise anything, I do not want to hear it!” Mrs. Lana snapped as she looked at Nathan with an annoyed stare.

Nathan couldn't say anything anymore, he knew that right from the start both his mother and Mrs. Lana were never supportive of the marriage in the first place,

he was the one who convinced his father to arrange the marriage between them…..

”So my in-laws hate me?” Shola spoke up realizing that she was being forgotten.

Never in her life would she had thought that she would be like all those girls in novels that weren't liked by their in-laws but her's actually tried to kill her!

”Don't say that, its just that there.…..”

”There what?!” Mrs. Lana interrupted Nathan before he could say anything.

Shola observed her mother's face and knew a storm was brewing

????????????

she was sad that her current life wasn't perfect but she had always wanted her mother to get along with her husband....sort of.

”Mom, Can you please tell me the list of things I've missed?, what's new? Like is there a new type of cellphone or a new famous singer….”

Shola began to talk about unimportant things as she knew they would divert her attention and it worked , she lightly pinched Nathan's arm secretly.

Nathan immediately understood her gesture and soon found a great excuse and left.

Mrs. Lana didn't even pay any attention to him, she was too excited to tell her daughter

about the things she couldn't remember, for the first time she felt like she was the modern person.

”Mr. Lu, the maid that bought the groceries that day has been caught sir” Jones said as he was grinning from ear to ear.

”And?” Nathan said clearly not impressed making Jones' expression fall. He and his team really worked hard to find the maid

' Could you be a little sensitive boss?????????????'

”We questioned her and you were right boss, .....it really was your mother, but we cannot be sure because it was her personal assistant's assistant that paid the maid”

”Ok, you can leave now and....I will reconsider firing you!” Jones noticed that his boss was no longer in a good mood so he didn't dare stay a minute longer.

Nathan stared into the distance lost in thought. The mother he tried to defend was really guilty,
