Chapter 200
“You’re right, Susan. I’ll be more careful next time,” Natalie said with a faint smile. There wasn’t any hint of remorse in her tone and that greatly irritated Susan.
“Pfft!” Yulia couldn’t help but burst out laughing as she witnessed that.
Her laughter drew the attention of Susan and Harrison.
Susan could not recognize her at first glance, but Harrison, who used to be his husband for about twenty years, recognized her immediately. “It’s you?” Harrison gripped the dragon figurine of his walking cane and asked in a surprised tone.
“Who is she, darling?” Susan scrutinized Yulia’s figure in confusion. She felt that Yulia looked familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen her before.
“Yes, it’s me,” Yulia replied while ruffling her exquisite hair.
“Mom?” Natalie was stunned for a second, not expecting her mom to reveal her identity.
“It’s okay. Since we already bumped into them, then there is no point to hide. Moreover, they were in the wrong, so why should I avoid them?” Yulia had finally come to her senses. Then, she patted Natalie’s hand and turned around slowly.
Upon seeing Yulia’s face, Susan was shocked. She couldn’t help but take two steps back instinctively and pointed a shaking finger at Yulia. “Y-You...”
Yulia stared coldly at the baffled Susan and sneered, “Susan, seven years ago, you eliminated me and became Mrs. Smith. I can’t believe you are still so petty after all these years!”
“Pfft!” This time, it was Natalie who couldn’t hold in her laughter.
“Darling, look at her!” Susan stomped her feet out of frustration.
“That’s enough!” Harrison berated her. After that, he looked at Yulia with a complicated expression, asking, “When did you come back?”
“It’s been a couple of days,” Yulia replied with a faint smile.
Harrison stroked the dragon figurine and queried, “How have you been doing all these years in a foreign country?” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Yulia played with the emerald ring on her index finger and said, “Of course I’ve been great! You see how youthful I look now, but you...”
She sized his walking cane up and took a good look at him. Finally, her gaze settled on his silver hair. A bubble of laughter escaped her lips all of a sudden, and she said, “You look much older than seven years ago when we divorced. Why? Did this woman suck the vitality out of you?”
Yulia looked at Susan and pursed her lips.
Harrison coughed awkwardly without answering her.
Yulia’s words were a huge slap on the face to Susan. The latter was so mad that she raised her hand in a bid to slap Yulia.
At that very moment, Natalie narrowed her eyes and grabbed Susan’s wrist. “Susan, you better not lay a hand on my mom. Otherwise, I will make a police report to sue you for intentional assault.”
“You...” Susan stared daggers at Natalie.
After a short while, Yulia patted Natalie’s arms. “Alright, dear. Let go of her. Won’t you feel dirty touching her?”
As she spoke, she handed Natalie a piece of wet tissue.
Natalie flung Susan’s hand away immediately. As if there were germs on her hands, she took the wet tissue to wipe her fingers immediately.
Susan was triggered by the mother and daughter’s exchange as the former clenched her fists and screamed, “Harrison, are you just going to let them bully me like this?”
Harrison pulled a face and retorted, “You are the one who called out to them first.”
“I...” Stumped by Harrison’s response, Susan stared at him and gritted her teeth in anger. “Harrison! Whose side are you on? How could you take their side instead? Or have you rekindled your love for your ex-wife!” Susan yelled as she pointed at Natalie and Yulia.
The mother and daughter exchanged a glance—their eyes filled with disdain.
Harrison felt disheartened seeing that.
It was him who did not want Yulia back then. So who was she to disdain him?
“That’s enough! What the hell are you talking about? Have you got no shame?” With a ghastly expression on his face, Harrison held Susan’s hand down.
A look of displeasure crept on Susan’s face as she saw Harrison’s action as defending Yulia and Natalie. The former pried Harrison’s hand and barked, “Did I embarrass you? You were the one who abandoned her! Harrison, don’t forget that I’m your current wife!” Susan yelled.
At that moment, many people in the shop were looking at them. Harrison felt embarrassed and shouted, “Y-You’re so unreasonable. Let’s go home now!”
