Facade of Love

Chapter 87 Madam Young Lays Down the Law

Madam Young’s words were airtight, each one a clear message to Idris to stay out of Moore’s business.

I finally got it. Madam Young was dead set on making Moore leave the old mansion today.

I did not need to see Moore’s face to know how upset she must be.

Right now, she did not have a say in the matter, nor the right to refuse Madam Young’s demand.

Probably realizing that she had to leave today, the usually quiet Moore turned to Madam Young and said, “Grandma, I appreciate you and Iddy looking after me. I overstepped, I shouldn’t have been so taken with the beauty of this old mansion and stayed so long. I had planned to go home and be with my mother a few days ago, but I did not expect to find myself pregnant. The shock made me stay a few more days. Luckily, my mother is here today, so I’ll go home with her later.”

I had to hand it to Moore. In such a situation, she could still say these grand words without a hint of embarrassment or hesitation, creating an exit for herself.

Seeing her speak up, Madam Young promptly asked Mr. Zachary to help Moore pack her things.

After giving Mr. Zachary his instructions, she turned to her mother and said, “Deborah, since you’re here, why not stay for dinner?”
