After hearing his mother-in-law's voice, Xavier realized that Eileen was not the only one who accepted Jack and his son.
Well, Jack and Eileen grew up together, so gaining approval from their parents was not difficult.
His mother-in-law's voice was very loud, laughing like a boiling kettle.
"Ah, the son is better than the daughter. Look at Adam's little face. He's so cute. He's exactly the same as Jack!"
After speaking, the mother-in-law seemed to think of something and asked,
"Eileen, do you need to go home now? Xavier will be unhappy if he finds you're not at home."
Eileen's voice was weak, as if coming from the room further inside.
"Who cares? He can do it himself. It's hard for Jack to take care of Adam alone. What's wrong with me coming over to help him!"
As she spoke, Eileen's voice softened and became affectionate again. She called Adam loudly,
"Adam, come and try Auntie's spicy chicken. You talked about it all night yesterday, don't you?"
Hehe, spicy chicken.
Since Jack and his son moved back from another city five months ago, Eileen had seized every opportunity to come to Jack's house. If one day she couldn't take care of them in person, Eileen would feel lost.
At first, Xavier didn't know what was going on. During many late nights returning from work, all he found were leftover takeaway bags at home.
Xavier didn't understand why Eileen as a full-time mom was not willing to cook for her daughter. He acquired Eileen to take care of Angela.
However, Angela jumped out and tried to smooth things over for Eileen, saying that she was the one who wanted to eat takeout.
Looking at His cute and understanding daughter and the self-righteous Eileen, Xavier finally gave up pressing further.
Angela also knew that her mother had given her heart to someone else. She tried to retrieve by asking Eileen to cook spicy chicken for her.
But what did Eileen say?
"You can't eat spicy as you are a child. Cook it yourself. How lazy and greedy are you!"
If Xavier didn't go home in advance that day and overhear everything, Angela planned to cover for Eileen without telling him.
Xavier had a big fight with Eileen, but Angela cried and pleaded with him not to blame her mom.
Angela said, "It's because I'm not obedient enough that Mom suddenly doesn't like me anymore."
Yeah, since Jack appeared, Eileen had spent most of her energy on the father and son.
