My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1916 - 1910: Wanting to shake hands and make peace with her
"Yes, Aria can’t be hungry now. If the kitchen hasn’t prepared the meal yet, she can eat the Bird’s Nest that I stewed first. Bird’s Nest is nutritious, and it’s suitable for pregnant women." As she spoke, she called a maid and asked her to bring out the stewed Bird’s Nest from the kitchen.
The Bird’s Nest is the beauty product that Lady Octavia eats every day.
Her action made Madam Heath even more satisfied.
Madam Heath looked at her with approval in her eyes, "Since Octavia wants to be kind to her daughter-in-law, let her bring out the Bird’s Nest. Eating Bird’s Nest is indeed beneficial for pregnant women. When I was pregnant, I often ate Bird’s Nest, and Darren was born with excellent and smooth skin."
"My skin was great during my pregnancy too, so we should definitely eat these nutritious foods."
"I have another batch of high-quality Bird’s Nest at my place. When you leave later, you can bring it back for Aria to eat."
Aria Rowlett hurriedly said, "Thank you, Grandma."
She hesitated for a moment and looked at Lady Octavia, "Thank you, Mom."
Lady Octavia looked at her with a gentle smile, "We are all family now, so there’s no need to be so polite. Aria, I had some misunderstandings about you before, and I did some not-so-good things. I was confused."
"I know now that I misunderstood you; can you forgive me?"
"From now on, I will never be confused and let you suffer any grievances again."
Lady Octavia spoke as she stood up and walked in front of Aria Rowlett, reaching out to hold her hand.
Aria Rowlett was stunned. As Lady Octavia reached out her hand, Aria subtly moved closer to Brandon Heath.
Lady Octavia’s hand was awkwardly left hanging in the air. Her facial expression was frozen for a few seconds before she casually withdrew her hand, pretending nothing had happened.
Tonight, all of Lady Octavia’s actions seemed strange to Aria Rowlett.
It seemed like Lady Octavia had genuinely realized that she had misunderstood Aria and wanted to make amends with her.
But Aria’s intuition told her that Lady Octavia didn’t really want to make amends.
Because Aria could feel that Lady Octavia still disliked her.
Even though she acted friendly and seemed to genuinely accept her as a daughter-in-law.
But Aria could tell whether she genuinely accepted her or just pretended to.
Clearly, Lady Octavia was still unsatisfied with her.
But her actions tonight only made people believe she was a good mother-in-law who cared for her daughter-in-law.
Aria Rowlett wasn’t sure if she was putting on this act for Brandon Heath and Madam Heath to see, but if it was an act, she could play along too.
Lady Octavia portrayed herself as a good mother-in-law.
Of course, Aria could also act like a good daughter-in-law.
So, she said with an obedient smile, "Mom, what are you talking about? I’ve never really been that angry with you, so there’s no need to speak of forgiveness."
Lady Octavia’s face stiffened.
Aria Rowlett smiled again, saying, "Besides, I never felt wronged. Brandon is very good to me. I feel so happy every day, being with him. I should be thanking you, for giving birth to such a wonderful son, allowing me to have such an excellent husband."
After Aria Rowlett finished speaking, she felt that Lady Octavia’s expression had grown even more rigid.
At that time, the maid came over and said that dinner was ready.
Madam Heath called everyone, "Let’s have dinner first, and we can talk about other things later. Don’t let Aria go hungry."
Madam Heath couldn’t stop talking about Aria Rowlett, and seeing Madam Heath care for her so much, Lady Octavia felt annoyed.
She had to get Aria Rowlett out of there as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the longer this dragged on, the more difficult it would be to handle.
