Chapter 891 I Can’t Accept That Debauched Woman!
Leia stood awkwardly on the spot. The flattering words that she had prepared to say to Brody'sgrandmother were stuck in her throat.
Brody tried to defuse the tense situation.
He quickly went up to support his grandmother and coaxed her, "Grandma, Leia is a beautiful andsensible girl. You don't know how happy I am when I’m with her. You'll know that she's a good girl afterspending some more time with her. Can you be a little more friendly toward her? After all, she's yourfuture granddaughter-in-law..." "Hmph! Our household has no need for a girl like her!"
The old woman coldly interjected and continued to dress down her grandson, "I say, Brody, you'vealways been a smart boy, so why would you find a debauched woman like her as your girlfriend? She'sbeen in the entertainment industry since she was young. You should know that there aren’t any virginsthere. Moreover, she's plagued with scandals. She threatened the doctor to falsify the DNA test report,and she's been caught sleeping around with other men more than once. Do you want to bring her intothe household? Not unless I'm dead!" "It's not like that, Grandma. Maybe Leia has her reasons..." "Shutup!" The old woman glared at her grandson and spoke forcefully, "Do you want to ruin our familyreputation and make us the subject of public ridicule? Let me tell you. You can marry any other womanexcept for this one!" "Listen to me, Grandma..."
Brody wanted to explain to his grandmother, but his grandmother wagged her hand and went upstairswith the help of her walking stick.
He could only follow her upstairs.
Before she disappeared, the old woman shot a cold glance at Leia's face and muttered something.
"Ms. Norman? No, she's an abandoned girl from an orphanage. You can see from her face that hermind isn't in the right place. My dear Brody, she'll bring disaster to the family if you marry her. In theworst case, our family will be ruined. Why do you insist on marrying her?"
Leia stood at the bottom of the staircase and watched the old woman go upstairs.
She could feel chills course down her spine as she listened to those words. How she wished that shecould push the old woman down the stairs so that she would fall and die!novelbin
"That d*mned old lady is already one foot in the grave. Why would she care?'
The caretaker saw Leia standing there in a daze. Thinking that she was overcome by sorrow, thecaretaker felt some sympathy for her.
She handed a pair of slippers to Leia. "Madam can be irritable at times.
Please wear these slippers."
Leia forced a smile at the caretaker and thanked her.
She did not put on the slippers. Instead, her expression became colder and colder.
That old woman had insulted her, but Brody did not stay by her side. Instead, he helped her walk up thestairs. Those promises that he had made were all but hot air!
From what she saw today, she could tell that Brody was still a mama's boy!
The caretaker noticed that Leia was looking at the stairs. She explained," Madam has raised MasterBrody since he was a child, and they are very close to each other. Naturally, Master Brody respects hisgrandmother a lot "Mm," Leia replied impassively and sat on the couch as though she were in herhouse.
"Where are Brody’s parents? Why did his grandmother raise him?" She pretended to be casual as shetried to find out more information.
"Brody's parents are usually very busy, and they're always on overseas business trips. Sometimes,they would only return once every few months.
To be honest, Master Brody isn't very close to his parents, while Madam pampers him and would standup for him." "Oh..."
Some time later, Brody came down from the second floor.
Leia bit her lip heavily to force her tears to flow. She gazed at Brody with a pitiful face, as though theold woman had thoroughly bullied her.
As expected, Brody's heart wrenched when he saw Leia's face. He hugged her tightly in her arms."Sorry about earlier, Leia. My grandma might sound mean, but she has a kind heart."
Leia rubbed her bloodshot eyes, and tears sparkled in her eyes. "I don't think that we should betogether, Brody. Your grandma doesn't like me at all, and she won't accept me. She might even hateyou if we insist on being together. I don't think we're a good match." "What do you mean? You arealready carrying my child. I'll have to bear responsibility for you and the baby."
It was rare that Brody took responsibility for his actions.
However, he seemed to be caught in a dilemma when he remembered how his grandmother hadrejected Leia. "How about we wait until my grandma is calmer before I bring you to meet her again?She's angry now, and she won't listen to whatever I say." 'You coward!' Leia thought, though she put onan understanding look on her face. "Who knows how long that'll take? It's already been a while, and thebulge in my womb will only become bigger. It'll be hard for me to hide it by then. I don't want our baby
to be without a father, Brody. You'll have to convince your grandmother as soon as you can. Otherwise,I don't know what else I should do." "Don't worry," Brody coaxed her patiently, "I'll settle this as soon asI can and bring you into the household."
Leia saw that he did not really mean it. She sobbed harder and repeated her words, "You'll have tomarry me and bear responsibility, Brody.
Otherwise, my parents won't be happy, and that might affect your family's reputation."
Brody stared at Leia and felt impetuous anger rise in his heart. "Are you threatening me with the child?"
He was quite popular among women. Usually, women flattered and pampered her. Now that he hadtried to gain a woman's favor, the woman had threatened her instead. That made Brody quite angry.
Leia was startled. She thought that the man was being unreasonable and wanted to dump him, but shedared not to.
She could only humble herself and deliberately rubbed her flat stomach." I'm only worried about ourchild. Sorry, I was rash. I won't be like this again, " she said.
Brody felt better after seeing Leia apologize "humbly." "Don't worry. I love children too, and I've alwayswanted a baby of my own. I'll be responsible toward you and the baby, but I'll have to take it step bystep." "Mm,” Leia replied coyly, but she had already begun to scheme.
She could only bear it for now. Once she was married to Brody, it was time for that man and hisgrandmother to suffer!
