"We're here to..." Before the boy could finish that sentence, he saw an older lady walking toward them. 1

Was this grandma Miss Bea's mother?

"Hi, Grandma!" Lanie greeted her politely.

Grandma...? 1

Bianca followed Lanie's gaze and looked behind her.

There was an older woman in her fifties, wearing a white-and-pink Adidas tracksuit. She was just passing by, but then she suddenly stopped in front of the three of them.

Luke knew that she was not Bianca's mother, so he did not greet her.

"Is something the matter, ma'am?" Bianca was confused by the woman's intense stare.

The woman then frowned and began to sincerely advise her, "Once you're

married, girl, you gotta learn how to take care of your family. You can't let your husband and child go hungry. I mean, look at you! It's already this late, and you're only back now?" 2

By "your husband", she clearly meant that man with the poker face behind her.

Bianca felt quite embarrassed and awkward.

She was about to explain when the woman looked at

Luke instead and turned on him mercilessly as well." You're not being a very good husband either. You can't go throwing a tantrum at your wife just because she ticked you off. What kind of an example are you giving your son? These days, men have to learn how to cook too. You can't ask your wife to take care of all the housework alone. You married a wife, not a maid!"

Bianca was starting to think that the woman was going too far.

How could she misunderstand something like this?!

After all, anyone should be able to tell at a glance that the two of them were from vastly different worlds.

"Ma'am, you're mistaken. He's just my boss, and I'm just his employee," Bianca explained hastily.

After a pause, the woman opened her mouth again, but she did not manage to say anything.

She just appraised the man, woman, and child once more...

As if they were unrelated. Did they take her for a fool?

'It's clear as day that you have something to do with that handsome man!
