"Yes." Selina Hughes added with a sharp tone, "She came and didn’t greet you first, what’s she chatting with others for? She’s not putting you in her eyes at all." The elderly lady was furious, "That Talia Rhodes really shows no respect for elders, has no manners at all, and your mother actually said she’s educated and reasonable." Selina Hughes smiled triumphantly, speaking gently and understandingly, "Grandma, don’t be angry, don’t get upset because of her, your health is what matters most." Mrs. Jennings gently patted Selina Hughes’s hand, "Selina is still the most filial, cares the most about me, after all, she’s my own granddaughter." Selina Hughes’s smile deepened, "Grandma, shall I accompany you for a lifetime?" The elderly lady chuckled at her, "Silly child, you’ll have to get married someday, how can you stay with grandma for a lifetime? Grandma wishes you could stay, but you’ll have to marry eventually." If I marry Adrian, I could stay with you forever, Selina Hughes did not say this aloud. She just smiled gracefully, sweetly teased, "For grandma, I can remain unmarried for life." This coaxed the elderly lady into a blissful, uncontrollable smile. Just as she was laughing, Adrian Jennings and Talia walked up after saying something to the person they were talking to. Selina Hughes said, "Grandma, they are here." The elderly lady snorted coldly, "Here they come at last." Talia, holding Adrian’s arm, stood before Mrs. Jennings and politely addressed her, "Mrs. Jennings." The elderly lady had previously told her not to call her grandma, which she remembered. Mrs. Jennings’s expression was displeased, glaring, "Calling me so distantly, are you still angry about the family banquet affair last time? I’ve apologized to Adrian, why are you still holding a grudge?" Adrian Jennings frowned, "Grandma, wasn’t it you who said you didn’t want Talia to call you grandma? Talia is listening to you, why are you being unreasonable?" Talia sneered in her heart, starting trouble again. Adrian was her spokesperson, expressing her thoughts, while Talia simply smiled gently without responding. The elderly lady ignited as soon as her grandson accused her of being unreasonable, "How dare you say I’m unreasonable? I’m your grandma! Adrian, being with this woman has led you astray, look at yourself now, dressed in what manner! And your attitude towards me, does this resemble how a young person should treat their elder?" Adrian Jennings too had a sharp demeanor, "Grandma, why do you keep picking at things again and again? You used to be very understanding." Mrs. Jennings snorted, "It depends on whom I’m dealing with." Talia smirked silently in mockery. At this moment, a little girl ran over and hugged Talia’s dress, "Wow, princess, are you a Disney princess?" Talia was amused by the little girl, bent down and pinched her cheek, "Nope." The little girl looked up at Talia, her big lively eyes filled with wonder, "You are a princess; you are prettier than the ones I see on TV." Talia’s annoyance from Mrs. Jennings was dispelled by the girl’s words. "Princess sister, can you play with me?" The little girl asked hopefully. "Sure." Talia’s voice was soft and gentle. "Such improper behavior!" Mrs. Jennings suddenly shouted sternly. The guests nearby turned to look. The elderly lady yelled angrily, "I’m still talking to you, how can you talk to someone else? Do you still have me as an elder in your eyes?" Talia lowered her head, took a deep breath, then raised her head and spoke seriously, "Mrs. Jennings, I’m not sure how I offended you, why are you targeting me ? Since you find me displeasing, wouldn’t my leaving be just as you wish?" Having said that, Talia didn’t wait for Mrs. Jennings to speak and turned to leave, holding the little girl’s hand. Adrian Jennings looked meaningfully at Selina Hughes, his face cold, "If I find out you’ve been instigating things in front of grandma, I won’t forgive you." Selina Hughes looked wronged, "Brother, I didn’t." Mrs. Jennings glared at Adrian, "This has nothing to do with Selina, look at Talia’s attitude towards me, do you still expect me to be satisfied with her?" "Ha." Adrian Jennings sneered, "Unsatisfied is unsatisfied, not like she’s marrying you." Mrs. Jennings was now completely unreasonable, Adrian Jennings knew reasoning with her was futile, so he stopped trying. "You—" Mrs. Jennings was furious, "How are you speaking to me? I’m your grandma!" Adrian Jennings ignored her, turned and walked away. The old lady was so angry she was breathless. "Grandma, calm down." Selina Hughes comforted the old lady, "Don’t argue with brother, it’s all Talia’s fault, brother is also misguided by her, such a woman is not worthy of brother." The elderly lady tried to calm herself. After a moment, the elderly lady spoke deeply, "You’re right, such a woman is indeed undeserving of Adrian." A fleeting mischievous smile passed on Selina Hughes’s lips. Talia played with the little girl for a while, then the little girl’s mother came over. "Miss Rhodes, I’m sorry, the child was rude to disturb you." The woman was full of apologies, her demeanor very gentle and polite. Talia smiled warmly, "It’s okay, the little girl is well-behaved and cute." The little girl looked at the woman, softly said, "Mom, the princess sister is so beautiful, I want to take a photo with her, can you take for us?" The woman looked concerned, glanced at Talia Rhodes, "Is it okay?" Talia gladly agreed, "Of course." After taking the photo, the little girl waved goodbye to Talia. Talia responded with a bright smile. Adrian Jennings approached, "Talia, I’m sorry." Talia was indifferent, "It’s not your fault, why are you apologizing?" "I don’t understand why grandma is being so unreasonable; she wasn’t before." Adrian Jennings held Talia’s hand, "If the conflict can’t be resolved, we should see her less, no need to endure her anger." Read complete version only at novel[f]ire.net Talia looked up to meet his gaze, "What if your grandma opposes our marriage." Adrian Jennings said, "I can decide my own marriage, her opposition won’t change anything." Talia nodded, "That’s enough for me to hear." In the crowd, Talia spotted familiar figures, and said, "I’ll go accompany Winter and Yvonne, you stay for a while." Adrian Jennings inwardly: feeling abandoned. The man felt aggrieved but he did not express it. Adrian Jennings maintained a usual demeanor, his voice flat, "Alright, go ahead." Talia moved towards Winter Donovan’s direction. Selina Hughes appeared from nowhere, bumped into Talia, causing her wine glass to fall, spilling red wine all over Talia’s dress. Selina Hughes lightly covered her mouth, exaggeratedly opened her eyes, "Oh dear, Miss Rhodes, why weren’t you watching where you were walking?"
