Chapter 1504 - 1545: No Hitting

Regarding this Grandpa May, Mireille Yowell actually feels a bit afraid of him deep down. It’s strange because Grandpa May has always been kind and amiable towards her, yet she still feels a little scared.

So, when Grandpa May said this, Mireille didn’t dare to act up, even though she was unwilling. She just watched, feeling uncomfortable, as Clarence Xenos was placed on the ground by Jeremiah May.

Hmph, Brother Jeremiah is hers. Mommy said that as long as she behaves, she will definitely get to marry Brother Jeremiah and become his bride!

Now, Amelia Foster hurriedly picked up her daughter, feeling as if she had narrowly escaped a disaster. She quickly thanked Jeremiah May and Grandpa May, then quickly retreated with her two children, leaving the main house.

It wasn’t until they returned to their quarters on the servant’s side that Amelia Foster put her daughter down, then harshly glared at her son, angrily saying, "What did Mom tell you? I told you to stay inside the house and watch your sister, not to run around. But what did you do? How could you get mixed up with that young lady from the Landon Family? Tell me, why did you leave the room? Why didn’t you listen to Mom?"

"I... I just wanted to take my sister to watch the opera. I... I heard it was great, and my sister might have never seen it before," Clarence stammered, knowing he had caused trouble today. He then explained the day’s events to his mother, "Mom, my sister was trying to protect me when she collided with that young lady. Mom, please don’t blame my sister!"

"Fine, I won’t blame Nuannuan, I’ll blame you!" Amelia Foster said, pulling out a ruler she usually used for tailoring, and fiercely swung it at her son, "You just listen to others, ignoring what Mom says, don’t you?! With behavior like this, how can Mom trust you to take care of your sister in the future? Do you know, the three of us nearly got kicked out of the May Family tonight!"

As Amelia Foster hit her son, Clarence gritted his teeth against the pain, not uttering a word because he knew it was his mistake that made his mother so angry.

Nuannuan saw her mom hitting her brother and quickly rushed forward, shouting, "Mom, don’t hit brother, don’t hit brother, brother is good..."

The small body nestled beside Clarence, trying to protect her brother, but accidentally got hit by the ruler.

"Ouch... it hurts, Nuannuan hurts..." the little one cried out in pain, yet she didn’t back away, her small body still tightly clinging to Clarence, trying to protect him, "Mom, don’t hit brother, it’s Nuannuan who was naughty, Mom hit Nuannuan..."

Clarence hurriedly protected the little one, desperately pulling her behind him, "I didn’t listen to Mom, I’m the one who took my sister out of the room, Mom, don’t hit my sister!"

Seeing these two, unrelated by blood, yet protecting each other like real siblings, Amelia Foster couldn’t stop her tears from falling. She hugged her two children and cried, "Mommy just wants you both to be okay! If you behave, I can raise you both well."

As a woman who lost her husband and now has to raise two children, she also harbors a lot of uneasiness and fear about the future.

One could say that her earlier action wasn’t so much about hitting the children but rather a way to vent her own inner turmoil.
