Chapter 191: Chapter 203: Isabel Smith, You Bandit (4) Chapter 191: Chapter 203: Isabel Smith, You Bandit (4) At this point, Charlotte Green was already sitting in her dining chair. When she heard Mrs. Smith scolding Elijah Smith, she used her tableware to pick up so food and placed it in Mrs. Smith’s bowl, saying, “Grandma, we have guests at ho now. Scolding Elijah like this will only make us a laughing stock. Why don’t we just eat? You should know that no one else dares to move their tableware if you don’t eat!”
Mrs. Smith’s face brightened up after being coaxed by Charlotte Green in just a few words. She just glanced at Elijah Smith with a look of deep disappointnt, then turned to Charlotte Green with a smile, saying, “Yes, yes, Charlotte is right. Let’s all eat.”
With that, Mrs. Smith picked up her tableware, grabbed so food, and placed it in Charlotte Green’s bowl.
“Thank you, Grandma.” Charlotte Green sweetly expressed her gratitude, then picked up so more food and placed it in Mrs. Smith’s bowl, attentively saying, “You should eat too, Grandma.”
“Charlotte really knows how to pamper her grandma. I, as her mother, have never even served her food!” Carla Osbert jokingly said as she served food to her husband Sebastian Smith, giving Charlotte Green a sidelong glance.
“Mom, co on!” Charlotte Green bashfully looked at Carla Osbert, then used her chopsticks to serve food for Carla as well. She didn’t forget to serve food for Sebastian Smith and half-jokingly said, “Dad, there’s so for you too. Don’t get jealous like Mom!”
The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly turned warm and harmonious because of Charlotte Green’s actions.
Parents and their children, grandparents and their grandchildren – it seed like such a picture-perfect image of a happy family, sothing that could be found in every household. Yet, when this scene fell into Isabel Smith’s eyes, it began to feel irritating.
She felt that everything in front of her was rely a play. In it were her relatives and her enemies, who perford this harmonious family drama that was full of irony.
Isabel couldn’t help but turn to look at Elijah Smith who was sitting beside her. She saw the teenager staring down with his head lowered, gripping his spoon, and forcefully drinking his soup.
A trace of indescribable sadness welled up in Isabel’s heart. Was this the scene that Elijah had been witnessing every ti they had a family dinner all these years?
No wonder he had beco so rebellious and irresponsible, hardly ever coming ho for dinner over the years.
She once thought that being overseas ant she had already suffered a lot. Little did she know that Elijah, who was in his holand, guarding the ho they’d grown up in together, was not much better off than her.
Perhaps he wasn’t as peaceful and happy as she was, being far from ho and away from sights that troubled her.
Isabel looked at the food in front of her and noticed that there wasn’t a single dish that Elijah liked on the dining table. This realization made her heart even more uncomfortable. She finally picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks, intending to place it in Elijah Smith’s bowl, but her hand trembled uncontrollably. No matter how hard she tried to control it, her hand wouldn’t comply, and the fish ultimately fell onto the table with a “plop.”
As for Percy Stanton, he didn’t really care much about the theatrical display of familial harmony by Mrs. Smith, Sebastian Smith, Carla Osbert, and Charlotte Green.
When it ca to happy families, he thought no one in the world could compare to those with genuine and everlasting affection in the Thompson Empire Group.
However, even soone like him who never envied others’ happiness found the beautiful scene in front of him sowhat irritating, simply because the woman beside him was unhappy.
Indeed, when you truly care about soone, you would pay attention to their trivial matters and details. You would notice so of their small actions that no one else knew about.
He didn’t know if anyone else in the room had noticed, but he clearly saw that when Isabel Smith and Elijah Smith entered the restaurant, Isabel pinched the inside of Elijah’s arm, forcing him to sit beside her.
