The Fifth Year of Marriage to Him novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148

Fearing Grandma might collapse from rage, Lucille glared at her parents. “Every time you visit Grandma, you cause trouble! Can’t you just stay away?”

“How dare you speak to your father like that!?”

Jaxon slammed his fist hard on the table.

“Jaxon!

Try hitting it again!”

Grandma’s voice grew hoarse with fury.

Jaxon flushed red to the roots of his hair but held back. “Mom, don’t be like this. I came back today to see you. I know my birthday is the day of your suffering. Isn’t that why I’m here?

Look, I even prepared a gift card. Give me yours, and I’ll pay you back double!”

He actually pulled out a gift card and offered it to Grandma.

Lucille didn’t believe him, and clearly, Grandma didn’t either. Jaxon had to open the envelope himself, pulling out the cash inside. He spread the bills on the table and pushed them forward. “See? I even went to the bank specially—all crisp new bills!”

Had he changed?

Lucille remained skeptical. “What scheme are you cooking up now?”

“How dare you speak to your elder like that!

You ungrateful girl!” Jaxon snapped, trembling with rage.

Lucille just snorted coldly.

Monica lifted the baskets from the floor. “Look, we truly came for Mom. Mom, Jaxon said you’ve had it hard all these years. So on his birthday, he should show filial respect. Today, I’ll cook. Let’s have a proper family reunion.”

But Grandma knew this couple too well. Sudden change was impossible–this meal wouldn’t come without strings. “No need. Take it back for yourselves.”

“Mom, why the formality?

I’ll start cooking.”

Monica brushed past Lucille and Grandma’s attempts to stop her, darting into the kitchen with the baskets.

Chapter 148

Grandma was too old, and Lucille’s foot troubled her–neither could halt Monica.

“Lucille, let them be. We’ll leave.”

Grandma would rather flee than face them.

“Mom, how can you say that!

Your son, daughter–in–law, and grandson finally visit, and you just walk out? How heartless!

Mom, don’t you love me anymore?

Don’t you love Zhouzhou?”

Jaxon rubbed his eyes hard, managing to squeeze out a few red–rimmed tears.

Jaxon said, kicking Tristen hard to hint at him.

Tristen came over reluctantly, looking miserable, “Grandma, didn’t you love me most when I was little?”

“Now you only love my sister?”

“Is it because I’m useless, can’t earn as much as her, that you look down on me?”

“Bullshit!”

Grandma trembled with anger, “In this house, besides you three, who cares about that money?”

“Grandma, why don’t you love me anymore?”

“Just thinking you don’t love me makes me sad…” Tristen actually started to cry.

Grandma couldn’t bring herself to scold her grandson, just teared up, feeling awful.

But Lucille said bitterly, “Grandma doesn’t love you?”

“Tristen, how can you say such ungrateful things?”

“When you were little, your dad and mom only partied, who raised you?”

“They couldn’t even afford milk powder, who bought it to raise you?”

“When you were sick, who paid your medical bills?”

“Who stayed up all night with you?”

“For college, they had no money, who paid your tuition?”

“Who gave you living expenses every month?”
