Chapter 1655


    Judging from Carl''s frivolous look, he had probably cracked the whip in front of them.


    Sherry and Lisa went up to them.


    Other than Madam Sager’s obvious frosty expression, the others weed them with a fake smile.


    Sherry responded with a professional smile and revealed the present she prepared for Madam Sager. “Madam Sager, this is my


    present to you. Happy birthday and may you be healthy and happy.”


    Madam Sager kept her frosty look. She looked away instantly as if looking Sherry in the eye would contaminate her eyes. She


    did not respond or talk to Sherry, which made things. awkward.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Both Anne and Ron, plus others who looked down on Sherry, gloated at her.


    Sherry frowned. She was upset by the olddy''s reaction, but she could not afford to offend her. All she could do was endure the


    cold shoulder.


    “Grandma, are you getting so old that you can’t hear properly?” Carl said all of a sudden. He then retracted his leg from the table


    and stood up from the couch.


    However, he might or might not have been intentional when he kicked off one of the ornaments from the tea table. The ornament


    fell to the floor and the clunk echoed across the living hall.


    Sherry was startled, and so were Madam Sager, Anne, and the others.


    “Oh my, how careless of me. Did | scare you guys?” Carl said as he walked to Sherry’s side. He put his foot on the other tea


    table in front of Madam Sager.


    There were quite a number of expensive ornaments on the tea table, and he could ruin all


    of them with a simple kick.


    Madam Stockton’s eyes narrowed.


    Ron immediately responded with a fake smile. “It''s nothing.”


    Anne then looked at Madam Sager. “Mother, Carl’s fiance has a present for you.”


    Madam Sager frowned. “Just put it there.”


    The present was then moved to the rack behind the couch, where the other presents were kept.


    Carl retracted his foot and smiled at them. “Grandma, Aunt Anne, you guys continue. It''s Sherry’s first time here, so | want to give


    her a tour of the house.”


    Anne echoed, “Sounds like a good idea, but dinner is starting soon. Don’t wander off too far.”


    Carl then signaled his mother with a quick nce before he grabbed Sherry and left.


    When they finally got out of the living hall, it felt like Sherry had just escaped from suffocation hell. She pulled her hand away


    from Carl and said, “Carl, it’s really depressing in there.”


    Lisa came from a lesser background as well. Her family members were farmers in a rural vige.


    Sherry attended the birthday dinner as an outsider, yet she was already given the cold. shoulder. She had no idea how Lisa


    made it through all these years.


    Carl''s gaze shifted. He asked, “Did they make you ufortable?”


    Sherry sighed. “I’m fine, but | believe your mother is having a hard time inside.”


    Carl walked in front of her and then leaned against the pir. He crossed his arms and smiled. “After my old man died, my


    mother and | don’t live here anymore. She doesn’t evene back here, so you don’t need to worry about her.”
