Chapter 1550: Chapter 1522 is more complex than imagined
Kiara was making a phone call while Mario Yuno was there, showing off his nimble fingers, accompanied by a tuneless rendition of a song that deserved a beating.
“Like a gecko, crawling along~”
Edward Farmbright had intended to discuss serious matters with Kiara, but he couldn’t help asking when he heard the unpleasant noise on the other end.
“What is that thing crawling around at your house?”
Kiara glared at Mario Yuno in front of her and mouthed the words for him to get lost. Camden then did a Michael Jackson signature dance move, twisted around twice, and retreated.
The trick to teasing your daughter-in-law is to be flamboyant in action and quick to retreat; if not quick, you’re bound to get slapped…
“Don’t pay attention to that lunatic, Senior Brother, which magazine were you talking about?”
“Did you check out the latest issue of International Psychology Weekly?”
“No, I brought one ho yesterday but haven’t looked at it yet, why?”
“Quick, hide it, and make sure no one sees it, especially the Old Man, and it’s best if that jealous husband of yours doesn’t see it either, to prevent him from drowning in a vat of vinegar.”
“What’s in there that can’t be seen?” An academic magazine could drown Mario Yuno?
“I’m telling you, don’t get mad, but it’s just…”
Eldest Brother briefly explained the situation, and Kiara felt her hair stand on end. There was such a shaless thing happening?!
After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Kiara’s face turned pale with anger. She had underestimated that disrespectable old bastard, Charles Norris!
She had thought that by letting the Fox Cat ss with JR’s business, it would be disgusting enough for Thomas Norris, but she didn’t expect that when the ‘dog’ Norris got desperate, he would jump over the wall and co up with sothing so vile.
Suppressing her anger, Kiara got ready to destroy the magazine she had brought back. It seed that for the next few days, she couldn’t let Dad go to his laboratory; if he saw it, who knows how angry he would get.
She rembered she had placed the magazine next to her pillow to read before sleeping, but last night Mario Yuno had taken her magazine away under the pretext of prenatal education and read her a segnt from Golden Plum—right, that must be why she had such a dream. Using Golden Plum for prenatal education, how could she not dream!
Kiara decided to destroy the magazine and also secretly throw away Golden Plum, but when she lifted the pillow, she only saw a copy of Three Words and Two Claps…
“Camden Yuno, co here!”
Mario Yuno, with Wendy riding on his neck, dashed over, “What’s up, daughter-in-law?”
“Where’s the book?”
“Daughter-in-law, haven’t you had enough of the story where coral vies for supremacy on the pillow and jade duels in the bedchamber?”
Kiara fought the urge to smack him. “Who’s talking about that? Where’s my magazine?”
“What magazine—oh, the one full of bird language? I just saw the little girl playing with it.”
Kiara hurried out only to see her usually non-troubleso daughter sitting on the living room sofa, flipping through the book with her small hands.
Yuzo Joel was sitting beside her, Wendy recognized many Chinese characters but none in English; she just thought the book had interesting colors, so she played by flipping through it. Yuzo Joel’s eyes, however, remained glued to the TV’s Teletubbies, claiming to watch with the child yet being more engrossed than the child himself.
Kiara watched her daughter flip through the book and nearly had a heart attack; she quickly walked over and snatched the book away. Finding herself without the book, Wendy paused, her lips starting to pucker.
The little one might have been small, but she understood the food chain: Mum manages Dad, she can manage Dad too, but while Mum can manage her, Dad can only manage Beautiful Lady…
Therefore, the one who could manage Mum was—
“Wuu wuu…” Wendy, tugging on Yuzo Joel’s sleeve, put on a pitiful act and pointed towards Kiara—the universal sign of tattling.
Yuzo Joel reluctantly shifted his gaze from the skirt-wearing Tinky Winky, “It’s just a book, let her play with it.”
Mmm, Grandpa Griffin’s got her back!
“I still need to read it, you spoil her too much, can anything be treated as a toy? Books are the stairway to human progression, they cannot be carelessly ssed with!”
Concealing her motives, Kiara scolded her daughter a few tis before triumphantly taking the book into the room.
Wendy, who had been scolded, buried her face in Grandpa Griffin’s chest to seek comfort. Yuzo Joel thoughtfully stared at the row of trophies on the TV cabinet.
His daughter was soone who could even let her child play with trophies as if they were toys; could she really be so anxious about a re book?
After Kiara brought the book back and closed the door, she took a deep breath in relief, grateful that Dad hadn’t found out; it nearly scared her to death.
As she looked up, she saw Mario Yuno’s magnified face close at hand.
This startled Kiara.
“What are you doing!”
Coming up suddenly like that is scary, okay!
A gust of cool air hit her face—wait, cool air?
Kiara looked perplexedly at the magazine now in his hands, wondering when he had taken it from her—she hadn’t even noticed?
Damn! He had actually used a beauty trap on her! Brazen alure!
Mrs. Kiara, realizing too late, tried to grab it, but this only made Camden more determined to flip through it, taking advantage of his height to hold the book up high while muttering.
“What’s in here that’s got you so nervous, hmm?”
“Nothing, give it to !”
“Oh, okay, here—” Pretending to hand it over, Mario Yuno made a move as if to give it to her. Kiara reached out to take it but was duped.
The guy actually ran backwards into the balcony, running backwards…
Kiara was thunderstruck.
Seeing him dash into the balcony, close the door, and block it with his broad back, Mrs. Kiara’s heart cursed with astonishnt.
How could she forget that her man was exceptionally agile?
The slightest unusual behavior in his presence would be detected, and now she couldn’t hide it anymore…
Mario Yuno, who had successfully snatched the prize, darted into the balcony, a snort of derision through his nostrils as he smugly thought to himself, don’t think he didn’t know what this was!
Green tea Yacob solemnly called his daughter-in-law on the phone, and she imdiately began frantically looking for the book, naturally, inside there must be a new article written by the Fox Cat, that Marbled Cat Clan mber who’s never given up on coveting his daughter-in-law, maybe he used the chance of getting published to stealthily write an acrostic poem or sothing as a confession!
However, this ti the jealous Camden got it wrong; the contents of this magazine were much more complicated than he imagined…
