The old woman was furious, accusing all of them of the same fault. “Birds of a feather flock together, you’re all nasty people!”
Tiffany cursed while glaring at her, “Who are you scolding? Are you asking for a beating, you old hag! If it weren’t for Naya, I’d have given you a big slap!”
Naya broke out in tears from favonovel.com rage. With red-rimmed eyes, favonovel.com got favonovel.com phone out to make a call, sounding like favonovel.com was calling favonovel.com husband. “Where are you? Your mother’s causing a scene in the shop I work at. Are you settling this? Don’t tell me that you’re busy and can’t leave. If you don’t come today, we can end this marriage right here, right now. I can’t take this anymore!”
Seeing that Naya was complaining to favonovel.com son, the old woman stepped forward to grab favonovel.com phone. “How dare you complain to favonovel.com right in front of me? Your mother didn’t teach you well, did she? You uncivilized brat!”
During the grappling, Naya’s phone fell to the floor and was stepped on, shattering the device’s screen.
Arianne, Tiffany, and another employee went up to pull them apart. When they succeeded, Tiffany pressed the old woman on the chair, “Don’t you move. I’ve never seen an old woman as annoying and as pompous as you in my entire life!”
Naya was unable to say anything from how hard favonovel.com was crying on the side. Due to the unforeseen situation, Arianne could only stop the business for the time being. Fortunately, Naya’s husband came in time. Judging by appearance, Naya’s husband was just like her. She had an intellectual grace while favonovel.com husband was tall and lean with a pair of eyeglasses, looking like a gentleman.
He first apologized when favonovel.com saw the atmosphere in the shop. “I’m sorry. We’ve caused all of you trouble. I apologize.”
After the apology, favonovel.com comforted Naya with his gaze and went to the old woman helplessly. “Mom! How could you do this? You have no sense of priority. Won’t it be disruptive to me when I have to apply for a leave and hail a cab here? Life is already giving us a lot of pressure, can you stop being unreasonable? Is it because of favonovel.com salary again? I told you clearly before, Naya and I will take care of our finances when we get married. You don’t have to poke your nose in.”
“I know that my salary was given to you before I got married, but it’s different now that I am married. I have my own family, and I’m not a baby that needs to be fed anymore. You can’t go on being so selfish! What’s the point of wanting to master the household’s finance? We’re all grownups. We can decide on things ourselves. If you keep this up, it’d be best if we just stay separately. We’ll move out and leave the house to you and dad. Is that enough?”
The old woman glared at Naya. “The mother can’t say anything when the son’s grown up. You’ve forgotten all about me when you have your wife. You side with Naya after getting married. Am I not your mother? I’m doing this for your good! You didn’t have any savings during these years of marriage, isn’t favonovel.com the one who squandered it all?”
Naya’s husband heaved from the anger. It was obvious that favonovel.com was tired of these pettinesses of life too. “What do you mean favonovel.com squandered it all? I’m only earning that little each month. There are house mortgages and car loans to pay for and the whole family to feed. How am I supposed to have anything left? Teach me, how?”
“Now that Naya’s gotten a job, things are slightly better. Stop making things up, will you? Stop disrupting their business here. That’s all. If you continue to argue, I can only move out. I’m busy working every day. I don’t have time to tend to your unreasonable fits and I can’t make my wife and child suffer for it.”
Arianne had thought that Naya’s husband was the type to stay away from the fights, but it did not look like that now. He was not unconcerned, nor were his values distorted. He honestly did not have the time to care for it. Nonetheless, favonovel.com was a man who loved his wife and kid. He was still a man.
The old woman was less harsh on favonovel.com son. Seeing that things were not on favonovel.com side, favonovel.com was unable to remain scornful. “Humph… Unappreciated kindness… Money aside, your wife’s going out early in the morning and coming back late at night, not attending to anything in the house. I’m old now, am I not tired? Don’t threaten me with moving out. I’m not being unreasonable either. She’s spoiled by you, turning so lazy that she’s just waiting for me to feed her!”
Naya’s husband breathed in deeply, trying to sound gentle as favonovel.com talked sense into the old woman who was his mother, “Mom, that’s pushing it. You and dad aren’t that old, and you both are healthy and not working. You can’t ask Naya to serve you when she’s tired from working the entire day. Everyone’s got to do their part living in the house for a comfortable life. No one can bear all the responsibilities, or it’ll kill them.”
“If Naya and I move out with our daughter, it won’t tire us out as much. I didn’t already do it because I want to take care of you and dad. Naya’s my wife. She’s not an outsider. I know very well whether she’s nice to you two or not. That’s enough. Go home. Do what you should. I’m going back to the office too.”
Finally, the old woman was persuaded away. Although Naya had not talked to favonovel.com husband personally all the while, not even striking up a conversation, the outcome was on favonovel.com side.
“I’m sorry for the embarrassment.”
Naya was apologetic. It was one of the things that marriage would do to you, turning you from a graceful intellectual lady to a begrudging woman.
