Housewife Gone Wild by Thanddeus Embereley novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80

After dinner, I stayed in the temporary office at the Harmonia Hotel. Around four in the afternoon, Jared asked if I had sobered up and if I could go to the parent–teacher meeting that evening.

I thought Yvonne wanted Tracy to go instead of me, so I said I was busy and had a headache. Jared knew I had messed up drinking that morning. He said, “I was busy, too. If you can’t go, I’ll have my mom go.”

“Do whatever,” I said coldly. When I got home after nine, I found Yvonne sitting on the couch, angrily tearing a book apart.

When I walked in, she clenched her little fists and stormed at me. “You don’t want me to be friends with Tracy, right? Why are you so mean? Why did you make Grandma go to the meeting? Tracy and I had already agreed!”

My daughter looked at me like I was an enemy. I didn’t expect a parent meeting to make her that upset. I quietly said, “I didn’t stop Tracy from going. It was your dad’s call, not mine.”

“It was you. I know it. Dad wouldn’t stop me from liking her. Only you keep stopping me,” Yvonne blamed me for everything.

I looked down at her like a queen, my eyes cold and emotionless. “Yvonne, you really like Tracy, don’t you?” I asked.

Maybe because my tone changed, Yvonne blinked hard and said nothing. I crouched down and fixed her messy hair. I gave a fake smile without feeling.

“If you like something, then go after it. I’m your mom. I want you to be happy. I won’t control you anymore. I won’t stop you from making friends. Yvonne, do you like me as your mom?” I asked.

Yvonne froze for a second, and then nodded, “If you mean that, I’ll still like you.”

“Why did you talk to Yvonne about Tracy? What are you trying to do?” Jared asked sharply.

I couldn’t help but laugh. “I was just having a normal talk with my daughter. No bad influence. What’s wrong with that?”

“The rumors about me and Tracy at work never stop. Now you talk to Yvonne about her. Are you trying to make our daughter think our marriage is falling apart because of Tracy?” Jared said coldly, staring at me.

“Doesn’t she share some blame, too?” I crossed my arms and smirked in reply.
