Chapter 1699 Lottie's PTristans
Hudson took a few steps forward. "It's because I was too mindful of you that you turned out like this.
You should practice restraint. No matter how bad Raeleigh is as a person, she's miserable enough as it
is. How can you treat her like that? She's the one who has given Jerry a child, so which part of her now
that you can't stand?"
The human heart was still made of flesh and blood. No matter how good-tempered and tolerant they
were, they would be worn down the moment they met Paige.
Hudson couldn't imagine that the obedient and sensible young Paige from before, would become like
this now.
To even begin to envy a young girl.
Back when she was still young , Hudson had assumed that any woman would have a little bit of a
temper when they're faced with something incomprehensible, but look at what happened now.
This was not just her being bad-tempered.
The older they got, the more prominent the flaws they had since young would be.
This was especially so during this incident and Hudson felt inexplicably disappointed.
No matter how things were, Paige was the matriarch of the Harvey family. She actually went to her
grandson's residence and tore off her granddaughter-in-law's clothes. What kind of situation was that?
At first, Hudson surmised that as long as she was willing to apologize, there would be room for
maneuver in this matter. However, based on what happened, Paige would definitely not eat a humble
pie and apologize.
Hudson had lost all confidence in Paige. No matter what he did or said it was always the same and she
wouldn't care. Therefore, Hudson decided to save his breath.
He glared at Paige and declared, "From today onwards, I won't let you leave my side, not even for half
a step. You'll stay here with me and we'll grow old together."
"You..."
Paige straightened up from the bed. "Do you know who it was that wanted to tear my clothes off? She
is someone from the Atkinson family."
Hudson couldn't even smile, much less laugh. With that said, Paige even went on to say. "If you don't
go for the preemptive strike, then are you just going to wait for them to come to you?"
"That's my business. I won't settle accounts with the Atkinson family like this. I don't need you to mind
so much,"
Every word she spoke seemed like it came from a different person. It's not that Hudson didn't know
what type of character she was, it's just that to this day he hadn't dared to believe that someone like
her could change so drastically and become a stranger that he couldn't recognize at all.
"I'll stay here and keep watch over you. Until you have recovered, you're going nowhere. Jerry was
right. You're insane and quite chronically at that."
Reese stood next to Paige while Hudson made his proclamation, her brows furrowed as she observed
the woman on the bed.
Paige sneered. "All of you, every single one of you nasty people, always want to harrass me."
In the middle of her tirade, Hudson had received a call from Rhys.
Noting Rhys's caller ID, Hudson had a thought. He stood up and looked at Reese across from him,
"Take care of her." he instructed.
Reese nodded and Hudson walked out of the room.
When she realised that Hudson was leaving, Paige immediately yelled a few words in his direction but
Hudson ignored her.
The moment he was out, Hudson looked around and finally sat on a chair in a corridor and accepted
the call.
"Rhys?"
Hudson's voice was calm, as if nothing had happened, neither arrogant nor brash.
After all, he was old. To put it bluntly, he ate more salt than Rhys could walk.
He knew the reason for Rhys's call.
Sure enough, Rhys apologized first. "Mr. Hudson, I would like to give my apologies, this is a misfortune
from our family."
Hudson found it laughable. Whose family exactly got struck with misfortune?
"Rhys, let bygones be bygones. I'm very much aware of how it happened. Don't let Calvin know about
this, otherwise, I won't have any place to put my face. I knew about this beforehand, Jerry had told me
before that she had mental problems. I thought it was ridiculous, so I didn't take it seriously. I didn't
expect so much trouble to come from it. This time, I'm really ashamed.
Don't worry. I won't let her find any trouble with that child. The Harvey family wouldn't put this to heart
either. All in all, this wasn't that child's fault. If it wasn't for her, who knows how Raeleigh would have
turned out. You know as well as I do that I like Raeleigh a lot. However, there's just too many things
going on and now this... for you to see this, you must think it's a joke."
Rhys eyed his beloved wife, Lottie Cohen, at his side. This time, the family presented a united front
against those outside their circle. Even though their relationship was good, some things are no longer
the same.
"Sorry to worry you like this," he replied.
"This worry is not because of you. It's all because I didn't manage things well. All right, we'll stop here. I
would like to take a rest. At my age, my body isn't what it used to be."
Hudson disconnected the call. Rhys also put down the phone and Lottie immediately asked, "How is
it?"
"How else can it be? Of course, it's better to avoid trouble, let alone this kind of thing. But you know
Rossie's temper; the more riled up she is, the more explosive she will be." he sighed.
"Paige used to bully Belle a lot back when she was younger. I didn't expect that now she would start to
bully Raeleigh too. She could even do something as absurd as this, isn't it better to teach her a lesson
and take her down a peg or two?"
Lottie's take on this incident was obvious. She was clearly siding with Rossie. Excluding the fact that
she wasn't in the wrong, even if she was, it still wouldn't be wrong.
As she conversed with Rhys who was leaning back on the couch, their two grandchildren stood on
each side of them happily munching on their snacks.
The two toddlers were very quiet as they watched the interaction between the two adults.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
The eldest, Heitor, was more perceptive. After all, what he needed to do most of every day was indulge
his younger brother and listen to him.
Nothing has changed when it comes to Lottie's teaching methods. She had taught Zorion and Deanna
when they were children themselves, and now she passed down the same concept to her
grandchildren.
Her family had long since been accustomed to it and did not care.
The two toddlers watched and listened, knowing that their grandmother was unhappy.
Rhys glanced at the two children. "Even so, she can't go too far. Contact Rossie later and ask her to
make a call to the Harvey family and apologize."
"No, I still don't think she's wrong. Why must this be done?"
"What nonsense!"
"Do you want to say that again?"
Rhys shut his mouth and looked at his beloved wife. This wife of his was also quite strict.
Everything was fine when she didn't speak. The moment she did, he couldn't say anything otherwise.
In the middle of this deadlock, the two children made their escape first.
Each of them grabbed a piece of fruit, but as their hands were so small, by the time they ate the fruits
squashed in their tiny fists, it had turned sour. Their chubby little faces scrunched up at the taste, which
would make anyone at a loss on whether to cry or laugh at them.
The two children wandered off, hence Lottie ordered someone to watch over them while the husband
and wife had their discussion.
The two children then returned to the room, took the mobile phone that was on the bed and dialed their
uncle Zorion's number.
It didn't take long for Zorion to pick up the call and ask after them.
"Grandpa wants Aunt Rossie to apologize, but grandma won't allow it."
In any case, they actually didn't know what was going on. The servant stood by the door and didn't
dare to get involved. Although they're just small children, their standing in the Atkinson was more
important than anyone else's.
They're equivalent to precious pTristans in Lottie's hands.
