Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal

Chapter 235 Women In Charge

Satan was clearly upset. Though he drove smoothly, Emily knew he was suppressing something. Maybe his face under the mask really troubled him. But in moments like these, words of comfort felt empty. Emily opened her mouth, but in the end, said nothing. They drove in silence until Satan took her back to the Norman family. Meggie was delighted to see them. "Bella, ask the chefs to prepare some good food." Bella smiled, "I saw Vincent's car outside earlier, so I already informed them. The food should be ready soon." "Great. Emily probably didn't eat well at the Morgan family, so we need to make sure she gets good nutrition... Vincent, why are you so quiet?" Satan had been silent the whole way. "Grandma, you've done everything for me. What's left for me to do?" Meggie laughed heartily, "Are you jealous? I'm just looking out for Emily, hoping you two will be happy. By the way, I'm meeting a famous Gypsy in a few days. She is good at predicting marriages. Emily, will you come with me?" Emily could only nod. But... "When are we going? I need to schedule my work." "Wednesday. Are you free?" Meggie asked. Emily thought for a moment. Lucas's next show recording was on Sunday, and then again on the following Saturday. She had time. "Yes, I'll go with you." "Good girl..." Meggie seemed especially happy today. She told Bella, "Invite Alex, Mandy, Bryden, and Janet. I'm in a good mood. Let's have a family dinner. After tonight, Emily will be a member of the Norman family. You can't back out now, Emily." Emily smiled and nodded at Meggie's playful remark."Vincent, what's wrong with you today? Why aren't you talking?" Satan frowned slightly. "I'm just tired." Meggie chuckled, "You shouldn't put all your energy into work. Spend more time with your wife. Emily, if he makes you unhappy, just scold him." Emily laughed softly, "He makes all the decisions between us." "That won't do. Even though I know my grandson's character, he will be a good husband and father, the household matters should be decided by the woman. Men can't think of everything..." At that moment, Mandy arrived with Bryden and Janet. Meggie's health had been improving, and they could hear her talking as they approached through the bamboo grove. Mandy sneered, half-jokingly, "Mom's right. Women should be in charge of the household. You should advise your son too." Meggie's face darkened instantly. Bella, as usual, smoothed things over, bringing chairs for Mandy, Janet, and Bryden, and adding more place settings. "The chefs have prepared a lot of food today. We have a new family member. This meal is special." Janet was excited and sat next to Emily. "Emily, will you be at the next show recording?" Emily, caught off guard by Janet's enthusiasm, felt a bit awkward. "I'm Lucas's makeup artist. If he's recording, I'll be there." "Great! Last time, the person who did my makeup was terrible. Can you do my makeup next time?" Emily had no reason to refuse. "Okay, I'll come early to do your makeup next time." "Yay! You're the best!" Janet was a simple-minded girl, oblivious to the struggles between her grandmother and mother. She cared only about her own matters. Emily envied Janet. Janet had been pampered since childhood, carefree and easily happy. Unlike herself...At twenty, what was she doing? She was juggling jobs, rushing from convenience store to café, never stopping to enjoy her life. Sophia's tuition was enough to crush her. "Emily, why are you staring at me? Is my face hard to do makeup on?" Emily shook her head. "No, you have great skin. A little makeup will make you look beautiful." Janet beamed, putting her hands on her hips and turning to Bryden. "Bryden, did you hear that? Emily said I'm pretty! Unlike you, who always calls me ugly!" Bryden snorted. "Standing next to Emily, you're like Snow White and a dwarf." "Hey, don't say that! Emily is Snow White, but I'm not short!" "Your medical report says you're 2cm shorter than what you were last year." Janet puffed up, looking like an angry frog. "You peeked at my medical report?" Bryden smugly replied, "I didn't need to. Your teacher gave it to me." Janet's face turned red. "But... but... I've grown those days!" "I don't believe it." "Bryden!!! Let's go fight outside!" They started bickering again. Satan frowned. "Why are you two always fighting?" His authoritative presence made them fall silent and sit down properly. Janet whined, "Vincent, you have to help me. Bryden bullies me every day!" "I can't help you," Satan's mood had calmed, and he added pointedly, "Grandma said women are in charge at home. You'll have to talk to Emily about our family matters."
