Chapter 3

After I came back with strawberry, Ella glanced at the basket, raised her eyebrows, and said sharply, “Is this all?"

Mom immediately went over to comfort Ella, then poured out all the strawberry in the basket and gave me the empty basket.

She said, “Olivia, go and pick some more. Your sister-in-law wants to eat now, I'll go and make first.”

I took the empty basket and looked at the darkening sky outside.

Without saying anything, I went out.

By the time I finished picking, it was already completely dark.

I stood outside the house, watching the family of four eating dinner. The scene was very warm.

And I felt like a detached outsider, completely unable to blend in.

I stood outside for a long time, and it was Max, the dog, that noticed me and came over, barking at me twice and then circling around my legs.

I bent down and touched it.

From inside the house, I could hear my father's voice.

"Are you mute? Why didn't you say a word when you were back? Do you want to be beaten?" My father said angrily.

My mother hurriedly pulled my father away, then turned to me and said, "Olivia, come in quickly. From now on, you have to greet us when you come back, understand?"

I nodded and sat down to eat the leftovers.

There was hardly any dishes.

Seeing that I didn't eat, my mother also looked over and immediately said, "There's no more dishes. Let me cook two more."

After saying that, she got up, but instead of leaving her seat, she called me in confusion.

I looked up and said to my mother, “Mom, please go and cook. I'm hungry.”

My mother was stunned for a while before she said, “Olivia, why are you talking to me like this?”

I sarcastically smiled in my heart. Things like this had happened many times.

Actually, every time, my mother would suggest cooking two more dishes for me, but I always stopped her because I was worried about troubling her. Every time, I just ate the rice with the leftovers.

I was considerate of my mother, but she didn't care about me at all.

Since that was the case, I wouldn’t be considerate anymore!

I said directly, “Mom, didn't you say you would cook for me?”

My mother had to go and cook two more dishes with dissatisfaction.

So she only cooked two vegetarian dishes, without any meat.

When she put the dishes on the table, she slammed them down heavily, clearly expressing her dissatisfaction with me.

I dodged to the side, but the splashed soup landed on Ella next to me.

She immediately got angry, “Are you blind? Can't you see someone sitting here?”

Even though Ella had such a bad attitude, my mom still tried to please her.

Nowadays, my mom was even more obsequious than anyone in the family.

I averted my gaze and finished my meal with these two bowls of vegetables.

Because I hadn't had a rest for a long time, I applied for annual leave from the company.

Originally, I planned to rest at home for a while and go back to work after the annual leave.

But considering the current situation, I packed my luggage in advance and planned to return to the city today.

When I was tidying up clothes on the balcony, I happened to see Ella coming out from the back door and sneaking into the woods behind.

Out of curiosity, I followed her. Ella was particularly cautious, and several times I almost got caught by her.

Ella stood next to the tallest tree in the woods, as if waiting for someone.

I originally thought that this was a dating place for Ella and Thomas.

Just as I was thinking of leaving, I suddenly discovered that the person meeting Ella was actually Eric!

I quickly took out my phone and recorded the intimate scene between the two.

As soon as Eric came over, Ella immediately leaned on his shoulder like a little bird.

When she was in Eric's arms, Ella was gentle, completely different from how she was at home.

Ella said to Eric, "Eric, the Garcia family has agreed to it. When Olivia's house is renovated, they’ll give it to me!"

After hearing this, Eric instinctively frowned and said, "Why do we have to wait for the renovation?"

At this point, Ella couldn't help but snort and stomped her foot in anger, saying, "It's all because of Olivia. She said that the renovation process requires the homeowner to go through it and it's very troublesome."

"And also, I'm pregnant now. The renovation is harmful to me. Eric, our baby can't have any accidents."

I hid behind the tree and unexpectedly heard such explosive gossip.

No wonder Ella didn't get pregnant for several years.

Because of this, she had even gone back to her parents' house several times in a fit of anger.

Originally, my parents and Thomas would bring gifts to coax Ella back home.

But after several years passed, Ella still wasn’t pregnant.

So my parents and Thomas decided to bring back the money and divorce Ella.

I happened to be present when they were discussing this, and not long after, Ella got pregnant.

After Ella got pregnant, her status rose even higher.

Now it seemed that it was not Ella but Thomas who couldn’t have a child.

What an ironic joke! In my previous life, my parents accidentally killed me in order to protect their so-called grandchild and prevent the Garcia family from becoming extinct.

Now the Garcia family was really going to be extinct.

After that, Eric continued, “Let's wait until the child is born. Olivia pretended to be noble and didn't accept my confession three times. You find an opportunity to let the Garcia family teach her a lesson!”

Ella laughed twice and replied, "Eric, don't worry, I promise to complete the task for you.”

After saying that, Ella and Eric started kissing.

I endured the nausea and recorded this video.

Since this couple won't let me go, don't blame me for being impolite!
