Facade of Love Novel novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225 Embarrassing Moment 

“Christina, shut your mouth.” Emily, known for 1 good temper, suddenly raised her voice, her expression turning cold as she glared at her. “I didn’t bring you to the Youngs‘ Old Manor to create trouble. If you don’t want to stay, leave now.” 

Seeing Emily genuinely angry, Christina pursed her lips. Her face showed defiance, and her voice choked with emotion as she said, “Em…” 

The atmosphere at the table had already dampened after Christina revealed my divorce from 

Idris. 

Upon hearing her words, Madam Young turned her cloudy eyes toward us and intervened to calm Emily’s anger. “Emily, don’t scold her.” 

After speaking, Madam Young looked at Idris and me, asking, “Iddy, Yvette, what exactly is going on? You’re divorced? When did this happen?” 

With the truth now out in the open, I pressed my lips together, thinking that maybe it was not such a bad thing to announce it now. I took a deep breath and looked at Madam Young. Grandma, Idris and I are…” 

“Grandma, we’re doing fine,” Idris interrupted me, his face cold as he glanced at Christina. His voice was deep as he said, “Divorced, you say? Despite being the parties involved, we’re quite unaware of your detailed knowledge. Why? Did you handle our divorce? Spouting such lies so easily. Jack Zanier has raised you well, hmm?” 

His words were harsh, especially coming from someone as well–mannered as Idris. It was not just hard to hear… It was brutal. 

Christina’s face instantly turned red. Her tears were stuck in her eyes as fear and 

embarrassment were bottling up on her face, making her already unremarkable features even more unpleasant to look at. 

Hearing his heavy words, Madam Young frowned slightly. After all, Christina was a guest. She said, “Iddy, she’s just a child. If you have something to say, please tell her in a nicer way.” 

With a stern face, Idris turned to Emily. “Emily, it’s getting late. Charles should be available now. I’ll ask him to send her back so her parents won’t be worried.” 

He was effectively sending her away. 

It was truly an embarrassing moment. 

Emily looked at Christina helplessly, then nodded slightly at Idris. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Iddy.” 

“Em?” With such a blunt send–off, Christina turned pale while looking at Emily, trying to say something. 

Emily looked at her and said, “I’ll call your parents in a bit. You should go back early and not.” Having reached this point in the conversation, with so many people present, Christina could no longer stay no matter how thick–skinned she was. 

Disregarding etiquette, she stood up while shooting me a glare, then left the dining room. 

As she left, the atmosphere at the table turned sour. The pleasant dinner was now spoiled, leaving everyone with little appetite. 

Everyone fell silent, quietly eating their meal. 

After dinner, Madam Young did not say much, but she called Idris and me to her yard for a private talk. 

Madam Young’s yard was spacious, and the room housed a large stove, making it very warm. 

Sitting around the stove, Madam Young looked at us and said to Idris, “Iddy, tell me, what exactly is going on with what that Zanier kid said earlier?”
