Hope stood aside, listening in amusent at Alitzel’s playful teasing.
Even at this mont, she couldn’t resist showing off her grandson.
Hope pursed her lips, smiling. Though her mother-in-law sotis ant well but ddled unwisely, she was certainly well-intentioned. Now she seed adorable, delighting in banter.
"You!"
Natalie gritted her teeth, almost jumping with anger, but the Lewis Family’s power left her without room to retort.
"Mom! Enough! How long are you going to keep this up? I’ve said it, Aria is the woman I want to marry, and your opposition won’t change that."
Alexander’s face was darkened with anger, frowning at Natalie.
Natalie bit her teeth forcefully.
Compared to Natalie’s rage, Lily was much calr. Seeing they were clearly at a disadvantage and having angered Alexander, she quickly pulled Natalie back.
"Alexander, Aunt was just montarily upset. Please, don’t be angry. Everyone’s been unhappy today. Let’s disperse for now."
Natalie snorted coldly, "Standing up against your own mother for a woman, you’ve certainly grown bold. And Mrs. Lewis, let advise you, she’s no good woman, involved with my son and now your son too. I won’t say more; you should think it over carefully."
After speaking, Natalie glared resentfully at Alexander, turning away to the nearby sofa, sulking and ignoring him.
Lily pursed her lips, glanced at the sulking Natalie, then at the irate Alexander, helplessly shaking her head, "Alexander, Aunt’s words were harsh just now. Miss Richardson is probably upset. You should comfort her. I’ll take Aunt back first, and I’ll try to persuade Aunt regarding your matter with Miss Richardson."
Alexander nodded, his deep eyes showing a touch of gratitude, "Hmm, thank you."
Lily smiled gently, "It’s my pleasure."
Aria stood aside, having heard Lily’s words, scoffing coldly, "What a facade!"
Alexander turned his gaze to Aria, who couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
The atmosphere was sowhat awkward, Alexander glanced apologetically at Lily.
Lily slightly shook her head, displaying a magnanimous attitude and not minding, she turned and walked towards Natalie.
Natalie was still angry, Lily walked over and whispered, "Aunt, don’t be mad. Alexander is always filial, wouldn’t be upset with you if it weren’t for Miss Richardson. We’ll properly advise Alexander when we return. Let’s leave now."
Listening to Lily, Natalie found this reasonable, thinking, if not for Aria, Alexander wouldn’t speak to her so.
"It’s that temptress seducing him, that my son treats this way."
Natalie snorted heavily, glaring at Aria, seemingly wanting to stab her with her eyes.
Lily’s eyes impassively flickered, her gaze scornfully sweeping towards Aria.
Aria took in that gaze, speaking coldly, "Miss Armstrong is truly two-faced, persuading Alexander publicly while ridiculing and mocking privately, maliciously provoking. Who do you think you’re disgusting?"
Being exposed by Aria, Lily wasn’t flustered, blinking innocently at Alexander, "Is Miss Richardson misunderstanding sothing?"
"Stop pretending, it’s nauseating."
Lily moved her lips but didn’t speak, appearing a bit aggrieved, not defending herself, "Miss Richardson can think what she wants, I’m leaving."
Alexander’s dark eyes deepened slightly, looking at Aria with so helplessness, "Co back with ."
"To where?" Aria looked at him coldly.
"Co ho with , let’s talk properly."
Aria frowned, sensing Alexander had issues with her words to Lily.
"Do you think I shouldn’t have said that to Lily?"
Alexander was silent for a few seconds then said, "You’ve misunderstood Lily."
"Misunderstood? Misunderstood what?"
"I know her, she’s not the person you’re saying."
Aria felt a bit disappointed, "So you’re blaming for slandering your little childhood friend."
Alexander sighed with so fatigue, "Alright, Aria, stop making trouble without reason."
"I’m making trouble?"
Alexander frowned, looking at Aria, "Lily really did nothing, yet you have such a big prejudice against her. How is your attitude towards people any different from my mom’s?"
Aria froze for half a second, her hand unconsciously clenched, "You know, you believe, indeed childhood friends are different."
Wyatt stood aside, unable to listen anymore, snatching the card back from the sales clerk, pulling Aria’s hand, "Why waste so many words, pay and leave."
Aria remained unmoved.
Wyatt tugged his lips, "Troubleso."
He bent down, directly hoisting her onto his shoulder, striding out.
Aria was startled, and before she could react, she was carried out, "Hey, Wyatt Lewis, put down."
"Don’t move, I won’t catch you if you fall."
Alitzel, seeing this, couldn’t conceal her excitent.
Finally! Finally! Her son had finally made her proud!
Alexander’s eyes darkened, about to chase after them when Alitzel blocked his way, intent on protecting her son and daughter-in-law.
Alexander frowned, "Mrs. Lewis, what are you doing?"
Alitzel’s face was full of smiles, "Your mom doesn’t agree with your relationship, but I approve of my son and Aria being together. Go ho and be a good son to your mom, don’t go against her."
Watching Wyatt already carrying Aria away, Alitzel was relieved.
Alexander angrily looked at Alitzel, seeing her unreasonable stance, he turned his gaze to Hope.
"Young Madam Lewis, Aria is my girlfriend now. Isn’t your family’s action a bit excessive?"
Hope raised her brows, logically speaking, yes.
Considering Aria and Alexander’s relationship, Wyatt carrying her off was akin to snatching soone’s girlfriend.
Yet, this ti Hope supported Wyatt.
It’s because Alexander couldn’t tell right from wrong.
"Mr. Knox, Aria has never been one to falsely accuse others. Instead of blaming her, you should get to know your childhood friend’s character better. Furthermore, if you’re sincerely intending to marry Aria, you should handle the issue with your mother well.
I imagine your mother hasn’t made things difficult for Aria for the first ti."
