Chapter 106 Penny and Priscila Come Again
Gwendolyn was surprised and asked, "Really, Florence Garden is an upscale neighborhood, but I didn't expect anyone there to drive a Rolls-Royce. How come people who drive Rolls-Royces don't live in villas?"
"Mr. Donovan said the owner of that Rolls-Royce probably has children who go to school nearby. That's why they chose to buy a suite in Florence Garden to make it easier for the children to go to school. Who knows how many villas they really have?"
Gwendolyn smiled, "That's true. Come on, let's go to the supermarket. By the way, didn't Grandma Vivian say she was coming over?"
"She's not coming."
"Why?"
"The owner of my house didn't approve of her visit."
Gwendolyn, "..."
Wasn't the owner of Teresa's house Hubert? He was Vivian's grandson. As a grandmother, Vivan wanted to spend her weekends at Hubert's house. And Hubert actually refused her visit? That was too... That was too outrageous!
Two girls got into Gwendolyn's car and left the Violet Cafe.
Soon after, they stopped at a big mall.
After hanging around the mall, the two came out with many shopping bags.
At this time, Teresa missed shopping with Hubert. As long as he was there, he could help her carry all the things she bought.
After Gwendolyn put her bags in the car, she breathed heavily and said, "When I was shopping, I felt I should have a man with me. When I was in the mall, I wanted everything. But when I brought those bags out, I felt so heavy and regretted why I picked so many things."
Teresa laughed.
No wonder she and Gwendolyn could be besties. The two of them thought alike.
She had just thought of the benefits of going to the supermarket with Hubert. And at the same time, her best friend said so.
"Then you should find a boyfriend quickly. It will make it easier for you when you go shopping."
Gwendolyn was sitting in the driver's seat. While fastening her seat belt, she said, "You think finding a boyfriend is that easy? I need to find one that suits me. And of course, I want to find someone that I'm really into. If it was that easy, I wouldn't have to be single all these years and don't want to go home because of my family's pushing."
"Don't be in a hurry. Your destiny is on the way. And you're only twenty-five years old. You're still young. You can still enjoy your days alone for a few more years.
"My mother was not so anxious when you were not married. But since you got married, my mother has gone crazy, as if I can't get married. She is pushing me all the time and can't wait to arrange 800 blind dates for me a day. It's like she expects me to be married off the next day."
Gwendolyn more or less understood her mother's thoughts.
Her mother thought she was better than Teresa, but Teresa got married before her. Although Teresa got married to Hubert shortly after they first met, Hubert seemed like an excellent guy. But she didn't even have a boyfriend till now. And all the blind dates didn't work out. No wonder her mother got anxious.
The good thing was that her mother rested a little bit these days.
If she wanted to get some peace, she had to go out of her way.
Teresa laughed. Teresa often met with Gwyneth and knew that the reason why Gwyneth was so anxious about Gwen's marriage was that she had been married.
"Your mother did rush a bit. But that's normal for a mother. I'd love to have a mom who's rushing me to get married. But I can barely even remember my mom's face now."
People of her parents' generation seldom took photos. There were only a few photos of Andrew and Emma left, which were kept by Leila.
Teresa had to look at her parents' photos to recall their appearances.
Gwendolyn comforted her friend while driving, "Your parents will bless you and Leila with a happy life in heaven."
Teresa didn't say anything.
If her parents were really blessing them in heaven, she wouldn't have become a trending topic on Instagram a while ago. And she and Leila wouldn't have had such a difficult and pathetic time when they were young.
Gwendolyn knew that the topic of parents was very heavy for Teresa, so she hurriedly changed the topic and lit up the atmosphere a moment later.
They went to the community where Leila lived.
As soon as Teresa got out of the car, she saw a familiar car, which made her expression change.
"What's wrong?"
"It's Priscila's car. Her car is here. She must be coming after my sister again. My sister's sister-in-law is the b*tch of the b*tch. She could be a match for those relatives of the Hellers in my hometown."
Hearing this, Gwendolyn said in a hurry, "Let's go up right now. If she dares bully Leila, let's team up and kick her out."
Teresa had already left with her shopping bags.
Gwendolyn hurried to follow.
The Cerones came to visit. It was still Priscila and Penny.
They were here to lobby Leila to go to the Cerone family to get Patrick back.
Patrick went back to live with his parents. But he went to his sister's house for meals every day. Because his parents were helping Priscila take care of the children and cook at her house.
The good thing was that his parents' house was very close to his sister's house. Their houses were in opposite buildings in the same neighborhood.
Seeing her parents buy a lot of delicious food for Patrick every day, Priscila felt a little uncomfortable, even though her family also ate. She felt that her parents were biased. They bought so many expensive dishes when Patrick came back.
Priscila was very mean, but she was not stupid. She wouldn't say what she feels uncomfortable about.
After enjoying her parents' help for too long, Priscila became accustomed to monopolizing the benefits they brought.
Patrick returned to her parents' home for a few days, and she was most active in dealing with Patrick and Leila's fight. She aimed to drive Patrick back to his home as soon as possible.
"Leila, couples are meant to live a lifetime. Quarrels and fights are inevitable. Few couples live their whole life without quarrels and fights. After the quarrel and fight, and not talking to each other for a few days, the conflict will be over. You still have to go on with your life, right?"
"Patrick is a big man with a strong sense of self-esteem. He actually regrets what he had done. He started the fight that day. And it was his fault. We defended him, we were wrong too. Give him a way out. Go pick him up, pretend nothing happened, and you three will continue to live happily ever after as a family."
As soon as Teresa opened the door, she heard Penny's persuasion towards Leila.
Priscila said, "Leila, if you keep on fighting with Patrick like this, be careful that other women will take advantage of the situation. Patrick is still young and looks good. He looks like an unmarried handsome man. Now many young girls like his kind of man with a mature character and a successful career."
Patrick was a manager in the company, earning $10,000 a month. And he could also get extra income. With the extra money, he earned nearly $20,000 a month.
In Priscila's opinion, Patrick was considered a man with a successful career.
Therefore, she always looked down on Leila and felt that Leila was not good enough for her brother.
In addition, Leila never agreed to help her two children get into a good school. So, Priscila was very dissatisfied with Leila.
Next year, her oldest child was going to be in junior high school.
She had to solve the problem of schooling and dropping off-and-picking up in a hurry.
So, naturally, she had to persuade Leila to agree.
Otherwise, she would not be willing to lower her posture and accompany her mother to give Leila a way out.
Leila was feeding Andy a bowl of cereal and turned a deaf ear to Penny and Priscila's words.
"Andy."
Seeing that Leila did not speak, Penny went to tease her grandson.
"Andy, do you miss your Daddy?"
