Even though she had always despised Susan Shelby, there was nothing she could do because Julian Shaw loved her.
She could refrain from fussing over the incident in the past for the sake of Julian.
Her only demand now was that Susan would give birth to her second child as soon as possible. This demand was not considered overly excessive, right?
Madam Shaw appeared to have made up her mind to live with them.
Julian furrowed his brows. He was about to say something when Susan squeezed his hand and smiled. "Mom, let's get in the house first. It's Chessie's birthday today. She has grown so much, yet she has never met you before. She will certainly be very happy to meet you later.”
Madam Shaw nodded nonchalantly. "I shall meet her then."
The servants came forward to pick up Madam Shaw's luggage while Madam Shaw walked between Julian and Susan calmly.
In the meantime, a bustling scene was taking place in the living room of the villa.
Chessie was riding George Wright’s neck and chuckling endlessly from delight.
"Be careful. You must be careful, George." Luna nagged him incessantly from the side.
Everyone else was focused on the little princess as well.
Chesney was an adorable girl, and they were busy usually. This was a rare occasion for them to gather for Chesney's birthday, so they were naturally subservient to her every wish now.
Madam Shaw saw people clustering around a girl when she entered the room.
She furrowed her brows. All of a sudden, she let out a heavy cough.
The group of people looked over and the room turned quiet.
"Madam Shaw." Luna remarked nonchalantly, "You’re here to attend Chessie's birthday party, right?
Welcome, welcome."
"Grandma, who's that?" It was the first time Chesney was meeting Madam Shaw, so she could not help expressing her confusion.
"Chesney, call her Nana." Susan continued this topic o f conversation.
"Nana!” called out Chesney obediently at once. She looked adorable.
Madam Shaw looked at Chesney, but her expression did not take a favorable turn. She looked at Susan and said coldly, "What have you been teaching her all these years? Chessie is a big girl now, yet you still allow her to behave crazily like this? She's a young maiden and she is still riding a man’s neck. Why haven't you gotten her down yet?"
As soon as Madam Shaw spoke, she did not show any courtesy by choosing her words carefully.
The entire group’s expressions changed ever so slightly without them noticing.
Chesney was already capable of noticing the emotions of adults at her age. She could feel that Nana did not seem to like her very much.
Chesney had grown up in a sweet, loving environment for the past few years and had basically never experienced any form of grief.
Madam Shaw did not like her and had even criticized her mother. Chesney's eyes reddened with grief at once.
"Nana, why are you scolding my mommy?” Chesney looked at Madam Shaw sullenly.
"I'm a senior member of the family, so why can't I scold her?" Madam Shaw furrowed her brows.
