Fell in Love With You in the Wrong Time novel Chapter 243

Covering her face, Melanie looked in agony at Geraldine. “Mom...”

“You've always been so closefisted whenever I brought you out to socialize,” Geraldine said coldly. “The reason is obvious, isn't it? You're insecure and scared people would blame you. That's why you always act so timid, wanting to hint to people that I have been abusing you to avert their attention. Do you think I'm blind?”

Melanie was astounded. So she knew all along?

“I didn't bother with you as I could understand how you felt,” Geraldine remarked indifferently. “Besides, you're also Nicholas' mother. He will also be looked down on if others dissed his mother.”

Melanie pursed her lips at that.

“Only someone who has nothing like you would bother about someone being a divorcee or not,” Geraldine criticized. “Who cares if it's her first marriage or not? It doesn't matter as long as she's from a higher social status. If Nicholas married Kathleen, he would be able to obtain her help to climb up the social status ladder. This is the most important when compared to those unrealistic things.”

Melanie lowered her head.

“However, everything is ruined because of your shortsightedness.” Geraldine laughed coldly. “Kathleen is smart. She'll definitely try her best to cause trouble for you since you provoked her. Do you know how much trouble you're going to cause Nicholas?”

Upon hearing that, Melanie started to sob.

“Since you've already portrayed me as an evil mother-in-law from an elite family, I won’t go easy on you,” Geraldine stated frostily. “From now onward, I forbid you from going out and engaging in any form of socialization. You need to learn manners first!”

Melanie stared at Geraldine in shock. Did she just forbid me from going out?

With a snort, Geraldine marched out of the room. “You should know if I asked my son to divorce you, I'm sure he would do it without a second thought.”

Melanie turned pale as she ducked her head even lower, following Geraldine out of the room.

Kathleen and Frances shared a car while Diana was in Samuel's car for the journey back home.

“Granny, can you stop arranging dates for me in the future?” Kathleen asked weakly. “I feel like I'm going to explode from anger when I encounter a mother-in-law like Mrs. Larson.”

Frances also agreed with Melanie, saying, “But you need to marry someone one day. You can't refuse to marry just because Samuel hurt you once.”

“I didn't say I won't marry,” Kathleen explained. “It's just that I didn't meet anyone I like till now. Plus, even if I decide on marrying, I'll definitely do a thorough background check on him.”

Frances nodded. “Naturally. However, do you know what kind of men you prefer?”

“Well, the most important factor would be a relaxed family atmosphere. That way, I can get along with them easily,” Kathleen answered with a smile.

When Frances thought of Diana's words, she had to admit that Kathleen was treated reasonably well in the Macari family for the last few years.

In fact, the Macari family treated her with love and took care of her a lot.

It did not help that Kathleen was a sweetheart, causing Diana to allow Samuel to marry her.

Frances also thought it was a good idea, so they married without a hitch.

However, nobody would have thought Kathleen and Samuel would separate because of Nicolette, Kathleen's cousin, no less.

“Granny, I know how much you love me and wish to give me the best in the world.” Kathleen blinked her eyes. “However, I was already hurt once in a relationship. Thus, I don't want to start a new relationship immediately. Besides, I would also prefer fate to meet me with him. Is that okay?”

Frances let out a deep sigh as she caressed Kathleen's cheeks. “All right. I’ll leave it up to you, then,” she croaked.

“You're the best, Granny!” Kathleen smiled playfully. While hugging Frances, she pressed her check against hers.

Frances was smiling in satisfaction, and the atmosphere in the car was harmonious.

However, it was a different story in

the other car.
