The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 546 Ellie's Daughter-in-law

Stella was floored, "Settle down?"

Ellie nodded, "Yep. Harold's at that age, time to get him sorted."

Stella was barely scraping by day to day, how could she even think about this?

Ellie lounged in the yard, chatting with Stella, all smiles.

Abby watched from a distance, frowning. What was Ellie talking about with Stella?

Holding a thin blanket, she walked over to hand it to Ellie, eavesdropping on their convo.

"Has Harold met any girls at school?" Ellie asked.

After a beat, she sighed, "Nope, he hasn't. But no biggie. If he doesn't find a girl at school, we can set him up at home. I think Abby's pretty great. She's been looking after me at Zandonick, and she's super diligent. I've realized Abby's got skills, not just laundry and cooking, but she's got a kind heart too. She gets along well with you.

Since you two are like mother and daughter, isn't that perfect? Plus, she and Harold practically grew up together, their bond is strong." "Sebastian and Molly are the same. Molly only likes Sebastian," she added.

Abby, eavesdropping, widened her eyes in shock, staring at Ellie's back. She gripped the thin blanket tightly, glaring at Ellie with clenched teeth.

Stella asked, "Ellie, if Abby's so great, why not pair her with Sebastian?" If Abby could marry into the Chase family, with Ellie's health on the decline, Abby would be running the show at home. Then her good days would come!

Ellie smiled faintly, then regretfully replied, "Stella, our Sebastian isn't as lucky as Harold. And it's also because our Sebastian has terrible taste. His girlfriend can't do anything. She hasn't even done laundry and she's super lazy. No skills, big temper, can't do anything but act cute. She spends Sebastian's money like water, and it's all on herself. She drives me and my husband nuts. If you had a daughter-in-law like that, wouldn't you be furious? Compared to Abby, you're way luckier." Ellie's tone was dripping with disdain for her own 'daughter-in-law' and envy for Stella's.
