Chapter 212 You haven't married my son
"Yeah!"
As soon as Amanda said, the other party was cynical and hung up the phone.
"You can't do this!" She pressed her phone number vaguely, but the other party refused to answer it.
The last hope was dashed like spittle, the phone slipped out of her hand, and she was depressed and wanted to cry.
Just then, a new text message sounded on the phone. Amanda was stunned. She picked up the phone and suddenly laughed wildly and saw the person who sent the message.
The company crisis has not been solved, and new troubles have been found in Alex.
Early in the morning, she received a call from Mrs. Hargreaves.
"Son, pick me up at the airport tomorrow morning."
He was taken aback on the spot when he heard and noticed the order given to him. "Are you going back to Italy?"
"Why are you so surprised? Don't you want me to be there?" Mrs. Hargreaves's voice was joking, gentle and gentle.
Fearing that his mother might misunderstood, he hastened to deny it. "Of course, I didn't mean that. But Mom if you're going back home, what about Dad?"
"There are a lot of people working in your father's company. Why can't they take care of an old man?"
"Old man?" He was thinking if his father had a headache and tried to dissuade her. 'Are you willing to let mom leave? Without my mother at night, does my father sleep well?' He wondered, at the back of his mind.
The person on the other line stopped for a few seconds, and the sound seemed to roar through her teeth. "Don't worry about your father! I know the company is in trouble right now, so your mother will be coming back to control the risk with you. We don't want to put you under pressure alone."
Alex was awkward and silent. "I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly."
"But If you'll go back home, I am afraid that the pressure will be even greater."
"What are you afraid of? Won't you let me meet my grandson? Still don't want me to see my future daughter-in-law's face? Are you going to let us meet until you get married?"
In response to Mrs. Hargreaves's disgruntled voice, who already made up her mind to go back, he could only cleverly agree. "OK, I'll pick you up at the airport on time tomorrow."
After receiving the phone call from Mrs. Hargreaves, Alex's became nervous as his mother's arrival was approaching and his worries can be seen in his appearance.
Elly thought he was in a bad mood and asked. "What happened to you? Why do you look so nervous?"
"Really?" Alex just looked at her innocently. At this time, the two sat together and watched TV, both of them had been exhausted by work in recent days.
He kissed her on the face. Elly nodded and turned to look at him and waited. Facing his persistent eyes, he sighed and admitted. "At 12:30, my mother is going back to Italy tomorrow."
Elly was surprised and realized that she never saw his parents again after they got married.
If his mother was about to return home, the most important thing to worry about was Elly, who instinctively grabbed his clothes. "Why does she suddenly wanted to go back to this country? After almost five years."
"What's wrong?" Alex asked. "She's your mother-in-law."
Her smile became stiff. The number of times she saw Mrs. Hargreaves can be counted on her fingers. Mr. Hargreaves forbid her to call Mrs. Hargreaves 'mother', so she can no longer call her 'mother'
"We're divorced. So, I will call her aunt." Some unhappy memories of their marriage came to her mind, and Elly deliberately and impatiently refuted him. She couldn't help but to cheer up when she saw him looking at herself angrily.
Alex leaned up, squeezed her cheek with his hand, and threatened her. "You can't call your mother-in-law that. If you don't listen, I'll kiss you to death."
"Listen to me." Elly obediently agreed and was not interested in his punishment. After being caught several times, she was now very afraid that he has tampered with it.
The next day, Elly was awakened by Alex's knock on the door. "Elly, it's time to go. Are you awake?"
She rubbed your eyes and didn't bother to get up to open the door.
"Am I going, too?" Elly pointed at herself and did not believe that he would ask her again.
Alex laughed so innocently. "You are my ex-wife and future wife. Of course, I have to go."
At the airport, the long wait made her more nervous, so much that she was a little anxious to breathe.
Alex frowned and waited nervously for Mrs. Hargreaves, he was wondering whether Elly's presence would surprise or frighten his mother.
Soon, they saw Mrs. Hargreaves appeared along with the crowd of newly arrived passengers.
When Mrs. Hargreaves saw her son, her eyes became excited and walked immediately towards him. But she was shocked to see the woman standing next to her.
There were many similarities between this woman and the deceased Madeline. But Mrs. Hargreaves knew about the car accident that year, and naturally did not expect that Madeline was still alive.
After a pause, Mrs. Hargreaves compressed her curiosity and walked towards them with a smile in calmness.
Alex took the luggage in Mrs. Hargreaves's hand and asked carefully. "Did you get tired from the long trip?"
"I slept on the plane and did not get tired." As she spoke, she looked at Elly.
"Mom." Elly was about to say hello, but he was interrupted by Mrs. Hargreaves with a cold tone and lack of favor.
"You haven't married my son yet, so you don't have to call me 'mother' so early."
Elly blushed and bowed her head to avoid her eyes. "Yes, auntie."
Alex glanced at his mother and looked closely at Elly. He couldn't help smiling. He planned not to tell her the truth at this time.
On the way back to Alex's house, Mrs. Hargreaves looked so serious and did not smile or gave a good attitude towards Elly.
Alex saw their entire awkwardness into his eyes through the rearview mirror, showing a strange smile at the corners of his mouth.
When they reached Alex's house, Mrs. Hargreaves got off the car first. Elly was relieved, and she sighed to Alex. "What a nuisance you are! Let me tell you. It's all done now. I've been rejected."
"Well, there are a lot of problems, which you will understand later." Alex relieved her unpleasant complaints.
Elly got out of the car with suspicion. She let go of her inhibitions and didn't care about Mrs. Hargreaves's attitude. All she had to do was respect her.
"I have prepared you a tea." Elly said politely. She took the initiative to put the tea in front of Mrs. Hargreaves.
Mrs. Hargreaves didn't even look at the teacup in front of her. She looked around and wondered. "Where is my grandson? Why isn't he at home?"
"Today is a weekday. He is still at school." Alex replied, Elly sat with them on the sofa.
"Your body is tense, you should sit straight," Alex patted her back with his hand, "to show that you are at ease, don't be afraid."
Mrs. Hargreaves glanced at their hands held together, frowned, and warned in a cold voice. "Alex, you should pay attention to your thoughts and don't spend too much time on other things. Your son is getting older, and he now has his own ideas at his early age."
Mrs. Hargreaves was obviously vaguely in her words. Alex and Elly glanced at each other, and he quickly asserted. "Don't worry, mom! Kitten grew up to be a clever, sensible and intelligent child."
Mrs. Hargreaves nodded with satisfaction and stood up. "I have been on the plane for too long and is a little tired. I'm going to get some rest." She glanced at Elly's face and walked towards the stairs.
Housekeeper Geno took the initiative to take Mrs. Hargreaves to her room which was prepared for her arrival. As soon as she entered the room, Mrs. Hargreaves liked the furniture with warm colors.
"I didn't expect that Alex would be so careful about other people's preferences now."
The butler Geno said with a smile. "The room was not prepared by Mr. Alex, but by Miss Elly. She knew her mother-in-law's favorite color and furniture style, so she asked me to make special arrangements."
"Was it her?" Mrs. Hargreaves was surprised to find out it was Elly, and her expression was a little embarrassed. "What a surprise!"
Seeing Mrs. Hargreaves went upstairs, Elly's stiff body finally relaxed. She put her hand into Alex's hand and asked. "I remember she didn't hate me that much before, did she? Have you told her bad things about me?"
Alex was innocent, surrendered with both hands and sneered at her. "Don't blame me. It wasn't me."
Elly unconsciously touched his face and listened to what Alex said. "Your appearance is completely different now, my mother has always thought you are dead. You changed your name and changed your face, of course she will think you are a total stranger."
Elly knew who to blame. When she saw her face after the operation, although she regained her memory, she didn't pay much attention to it. The reason why his mother didn't recognized her was understandable.
Alex, pretending to be sad, said, "My mother always thought that I had a new girlfriend and betrayed Madeline."
"Should I explain it to aunt? I don't want to be treated by her that way all the time."
Alex smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry."
