“I’ll go make breakfast.” Claude didn’t want to argue with his Grandma about this matter anymore. He hurried to the kitchen to make breakfast.

By the time Laurie finished washing up, the food was ready.

She didn’t expect Claude to be such a good cook. He had prepared seaweed salad, steamed buns, porridge, and fried eggs for breakfast.

Although the dishes were simple, there was a mix of meat and vegetable ingredients, and the taste was not bad.

In the past, Laurie was always alone. She bought her breakfast on the way to work or only drank black coffee. She had never had such a sumptuous breakfast.

Claude’s gaze softened considerably when he saw Laurie eating with a contented look.

On the other hand, Alice, who was sitting across from Laurie, looked relieved. She congratulated herself for having good judgment. This little girl would definitely be able to subdue her straight grandson.

After the meal, just as Laurie was about to clear the dishes, she was stopped by Claude.

“I’ll do it.” He snatched the bowl from Laurie’s hand, quickly cleared the table, washed the dishes, and then swiftly cleaned the kitchen.

Laurie looked at him do all of this in disbelief.

“Your husband is not bad, right?” Alice smiled and held Laurie’s hand. “Look at how good your taste is. You found such a capable husband!”

The corners of Laurie’s mouth twitched, and she felt somewhat guilty inexplicably.

However, looking at the figure in the kitchen, she suddenly felt that it would be nice to have such a husband in reality.

“Grandma, I have to go to work. You stay at home today. I’ll make you something delicious when I come back tonight! I’m also very good at cooking!”

Laurie had a good impression of Alice. Alice didn’t listen to other people’s slander and treated her very well. She liked this grandmother from the bottom of her heart.

Alice also liked this granddaughter-in-law. She pulled Claude over and said to Laurie, “Let this brat ferry you to work.”

Laurie was about to refuse, but Claude agreed immediately.

“Okay. I’ll go downstairs with you.”

Laurie, who still wanted to object, saw his determined gaze and gave up right away.

After all, the two of them had agreed to show their love in front of their families. There was nothing wrong with a husband sending his wife to work anyway.

As soon as the car started, Laurie felt that the masquerade mission was over.

“Send me to the intersection later. I’ll take the subway back to my previous house first. I want to return the keys to the landlord.” Her marriage was too sudden, so she wanted to take advantage of the fact that she had left early today to return the keys.

“I’ll send you there.” Claude looked straight ahead. “This is also my responsibility as a husband.”

Laurie, who wanted to say something, became tongue-tied when she heard his response.

Laurie thought to herself, “Forget it. I’ll cook something delicious to reward him tonight and call it even.”

However, just as she reached the entrance of the neighborhood district, she met one of those people whom she hated to meet the most. She was Della.

Della was the secretary Nelly’s daughter, in other words, Laurie’s stepsister.

The two of them were not related by blood, but they had an even messier relationship.

Since the divorce of Laurie’s parents, her father had almost never appeared again. However, Della was in the same university as Laurie, and from time to time, she would give Laurie some trouble.

“Go park the car first. It’s best if you park it near the exit. Otherwise, you may not be able to get out later,” Laurie said to Claude.

She only walked to her unit’s entrance after seeing him drive away.

Della walked over. Laurie frowned and went upstairs as if she didn’t see her.

“Did you become blind after getting married?” Della stopped her right away.

“What’s the matter?” Laurie’s tone was unfriendly. “If there’s nothing, just let me pass. I have nothing to say to the members of your family.”

However, Della held Laurie back. “Nothing to say?” Your grandmother is staying at my house! Hurry up and take out your betrothal gift money, or don’t even think about leaving today!”

When she heard that Laurie had gotten married, Nelly urged the old lady to call Laurie. However, she did not expect Laurie to be so heartless. In the end, even the old lady’s phone number was blacklisted.

Nonetheless, Della was not willing to let matters rest. How could this woman with such ill repute get married so quickly?

She definitely could not let Laurie lead a better life than herself!

Since there should be a betrothal gift for the wedding, she must make Laurie spit out this money!

“Isn’t she your grandmother?” Upon hearing her words, Laurie also became furious.

“Since you call her grandma and that man dad, it is only right that you support them. My betrothal gift was given to me by my husband. What right do you have to ask for that money?”

Laurie raised her voice and looked at Della icily.
