Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 89

While Melissa was hesitating, Miranda, her sister-in-law, had already taken over the phone. "What's all that pretense for, Melissa? Rachel has already come home and told me everything that happened at the dance party! Why is Sheril fighting with Rachel for every little thing?"

Melissa didn't have time to respond to the guest. She said anxiously, "What's the matter, Miranda? I'm just asking for Tanya's contact informat—"

Miranda scoffed and said, "Her contact information? Do you even need it when she's already in your house? You're doing this deliberately, aren't you? What's the big deal? You're just acquainted with Tanya, that's all. Has that made you so full of yourself?

"Know your place, Melissa. You're no longer a young lady from the Woods but Mrs. Anderson now! Even if you have Tanya on your side, it'll never change the Andersons' and the Woods' social statuses! Sheril had better not fight with Rachel for every single thing. It's more important for one to know their place!"

Miranda hung up immediately after ranting fiercely at her.

Melissa's grip on her cell phone tightened, causing her fingertips to turn a little pale.

What did Miranda mean by "she's already in your house"?

While she was in a daze, Tanya came up to her and said, "Hi Auntie. Barring any accidents, I should be the Tanya whom you're looking for."

"..."

Melissa was dumbfounded.

Tanya said very politely, "I'm Nora's friend. Can I stay at your house temporarily while I'm back in the States?"

"... Sure."

Melissa watched the cheerful Tanya take Cherry's hand and lead her into the living room, feeling as if she was dreaming.

Did Tanya just say that she was Nora's friend?

It seemed like none of Nora's friends were simple people?

Upstairs, in the bedroom.

Tanya was playing with Cherry. She tossed her high into the air before she caught her again. Cherry was so excited that she couldn't stop giggling.

"Again, God-mom!"

"Again!"

Next to them, Sheril was watching them in horror, terribly afraid that Tanya would miss and cause Cherry to fall.

After several rounds, a tuckered-out Tanya slumped onto the sofa. She rubbed her sore arms and said, "I haven't seen you for only half a year, but why am I having difficulty picking you up now?"

Cherry climbed onto the sofa and massaged her shoulders with her small hands. "It must be because God-mom has become weaker rather than because I became heavier!"

"..."

The corners of Tanya's lips spasmed.

"You guys are so noisy." Nora, who was lying on the bed, tossed and turned repeatedly, unable to sleep. She buried her head with a pillow and said, "Can't you guys play outside? I still have to send Cherry to school early in the morning tomorrow."

It was currently only 6 o'clock in the evening while she only needed to wake up at 7:40 in the morning...

However, the few of them who were familiar with her biological clock didn't find anything wrong with what she said.

Tanya even gave a grand wave and said, "Now that I'm here, do you still think you won't get enough sleep? I'll take Cherry to school tomorrow morning!"

As soon as she said that, Nora immediately flipped the quilt aside and sat up. Then, she stretched and walked to the study as she said, "In that case, I'll go and do a bit of work."

Tanya was bewildered.

She finally realized something and exclaimed, "Were you waiting for me to say that?!"

Nora yawned. "Uh-huh. It would've been nice if you had said it earlier. I had to stay in bed for so long because of that."

Then, she entered the study and closed the door right away.

Everyone was speechless.

Sheril looked at Tanya cautiously. However, she didn't see any signs of anger on her face. Rather, there was even a sort of... joy at being exploited??

Then, she saw Tanya hug Cherry and say very gently, "Cherry, shall God-mom bathe you? Let's sleep together tonight!"

"Okie-Dokie!"
