Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks by Caspian Wood

Chapter 591

The moon was bright and the stars sparse, with the occasional croak of frogs and the chirp of cicadas.

The Jarrett residence, under the cover of night, looked like an ordinary household courtyard. The lights were a warm yellow, the aroma of coffee filled the air, and casual conversation could be heard from the living room, accompanied by laughter.

Tonight, Arthur had finished his official duties and had some free time, so he had come back. Lucas, Mary, Arthur, Jean, and Mateo were sitting in the living room chatting, and the conversation mostly revolved around the news of Cherise’s

pregnancy.

Arthur looked at his parents and spoke, “Morris is impressive, becoming a father so soon. You two must be happy too. Once the baby arrives, you’ll both become great–grandparents. What a joyous occasion.”

As soon as Arthur finished speaking, Mary let out a cold laugh, “Heh, you’re going to be Mr. Chivers, the great–uncle. What’s the matter, are you even ashamed?”

Arthur was confused by his mother’s tone, which seemed tinged with disdain. He wondered what was going on. “What’s up with you, Mom?”

Jean, also puzzled by Mary’s attitude, asked, “What’s going on, Grandma? Shouldn’t we be happy about Morris and Cherise having a baby? You don’t sound right.”

Hearing Jean’s question, Mary slammed her coffee cup onto the coffee table. “And you! How dare you say anything? Look at the two of you. You’re nothing like Morris, who’s easy to deal with.

“Take Arthur, for example–sure, you’re in that position, and your focus shouldn’t be on other things, but you already have a kid, and your mom’s here too. You should at least show some acknowledgment, right?

“Look at me–I can’t even get to see a grandchild. It’s so heartbreaking.”
