Chapter 283“T-That was not what | meant...” Lydia stammered.novelbin
“What did you mean then, Aunt Lydia? My wife married me at a young age. She woke up every morning to prepare breakfast andclean the house. She worked hard to care for me and the house day and night so that | could focus on my work. Tell me, why isshe a joke?” Keegan widened his eyes and said.
Stella stayed quiet. She could not believe her ears. She was blushing from Keegan’s lies. Stella only woke up when it was noon,and the meals she prepared were inedible. The only thing she was diligent at was shopping and buying stuff with his credit card.From Keegan's point of view, she was ungrateful to have wanted a divorce.
Lydia’s face was flushed, and she did not utter a word for a long time. On the other hand, the corners of Elaine’s lips curled withexcitement as she watched Lydia get schooled. ‘Hah! You deserve that, bitch,’ she thought.
In the end, Albert said, “I don’t understand why someone as old as you would act like a three- year-old.”Lydia finally calmed down after that.
After a while, Sophia helped Arthur down the stairs. The old man was nearly ninety years old, and his body was quite strong.However, he had a hunchback and wrinkles all over his face. The clothes on his body looked brand new. Members of the Jewellfamily must have bought it for him earlier. Arthur looked clean and energetic.
The old man glanced around the place, and his gaze fell upon Keegan. He then stared at him carefully. Albert wanted to help theold man, but Arthur waved his hand and rejected his help.
“Grandpa, this is my son-in-law, Keegan. | showed you a picture of him before,” Albert said. His voice was much louder thanusual since the old man was partially deaf.
“How old are you?” Arthur asked.
“Thirty,” Keegan pursed his lips and said.
The old man frowned and muttered, “You just got married at the age of thirty? What’s the matter with you?”
Keegan was at a loss for words. Everyone there broke into a cold sweat after hearing Arthur's words. Stella almost let out alaugh, but Keegan’s face looked serious.
Albert was afraid that Keegan would get angry, so he hurriedly explained, “They didn’t get married this year, grandpa. They'vebeen married for several years now. Times are different, grandpa. Kids nowadays marry late and have children late as well.There are many people in their thirties who aren’t married yet.”
After Albert said that, he whispered to Keegan, “He's getting old, and he’s a bit confused.” “You're the one who is confused!”Arthur then said in dissatisfaction, “Stella is still so young. Why did you throw her into the lion’s den? What kind of a father areyou?”
Keegan stayed quiet. Before he could recover from the first wave of insult, he was already receiving a second wave. “This oldman is nuts. We're never going to get along. Ah! | shouldn't
have agreed to let him stay with us...’
