Chapter 650 Cracks Forming From Hatred

Stephanie and Noah spent nearly two months on the island before returning straight to the Clinton residence.

Olivia was happy to see her daughter return home, but now that the latter was married, coming back too often might upset Noah’s parents.

“Have you gone home before coming here, Stephanie?” asked Olivia.

Stephanie glanced at the older woman. “Isn’t this my home, Mom? I came right over after leaving the airport,” she answered matter-of-factly.

 

Olivia rubbed her temples as she heard that. This young lady just can’t stop making me worry! She’s already married, but she doesn’t think about her husband at all.

“Stephanie, you’re married now, so you should be heading back to the Walker residence after your honeymoon. You’ll be staying there, after all,” she advised.

“Why? Noah says it’s okay. It’s totally fine if I send you your gifts first before heading over there. Besides, I’ll still want to stay here. I can’t get used to living at the Walker residence.”

Olivia felt her head throb even more. I’ve spoilt this child too much. Look at her doing whatever she pleases now!

“How could you say that, Stephanie? It’s true that Noah dotes on you, but you shouldn’t be treating marriage like a game. Now that you’re married, you should learn how to get along with your in-laws and respect them!” she scolded.

In response, Stephanie turned to Noah meekly. “Look, Noah, my mom’s lecturing me again. Did I say anything wrong? You’re the one who said I can continue living here or wherever I want. You’re not going back on your word, are you?”

“If you want to come back here, I’ll come with you. It’s okay,” Noah assured gently, concealing a look of frostiness that flashed briefly in his eyes.

Stephanie was delighted to hear that.

“See, Mom? Noah’s the one who agreed to it. I didn’t force him to come over,” she remarked smugly.

“You can’t spoil her like that, Noah,” Olivia said helplessly. Still, she was silently overjoyed to see a man love Stephanie so unconditionally and felt that her daughter had married the right man.

The Clintons didn’t lack money; all they wanted was for someone to truly love and tolerate their daughter.

“It’s okay, Mom. I’ll be pretty busy with work soon, so I won’t have much time with Stephanie. It’d be good if she could come home and spend time with you and Dad, anyway. At least she wouldn’t be bored on her own,” Noah said magnanimously, playing the role of a perfect husband all too well.

Olivia became increasingly pleased with him.

“You’ll be the one suffering the consequences if you keep spoiling her, Noah.”

“It’s fine, Mom. That way, no one else will be able to put up with her, and she’ll love only me.” Noah grinned while gazing at Stephanie dotingly, which caused the latter to turn red.

“Stop saying such cheesy things in front of my mom, Noah. I’m getting goosebumps!”
