There He Is Again My Ex Husband by Emily Jenkins

Chapter 1005

Chapter 1005

While David frowned tightly and became overly worried as he thought about these things, Mrs. Brennan was also as unsettling as a roller coaster.

She was looking forward to David getting married and having a child. Who did not want a grandchild in their arms at their age?

But at the same time, she was mad at David's act of getting married first and informing them later. It showed his disrespect for them. Therefore, anger and delight were intertwined in her mind.

Then Shania walked out of the restroom, looking weak and pale.

David came up and steadied her at once, asking worriedly, "Feel any better?"

Shania found David acting normally. She knew he was playing with her and just leaned in his arms, murmuring, "Yes."

"Come on, let's drink some water." Then David helped Shania walk to the living room, and they just ignored Mrs. Brennan.

Mrs. Brennan followed them to the living room, looking embarrassed. She remembered his son, David, said Shania had to drink some water and reluctantly filled a cup of water for Shania.

As usual, Mrs. Brennan would be tough and might splash the water on Shania's face. However, she did not dare to do so this time and handed the water to Shania unwillingly, because Shania might be pregnant.

"Thank you," said Sania, politely, and she took the cup and drank.

Mr. Brennan came back at this time. He had dropped by neighbor' homes then and heard about David's return with a woman and the two's marriage. In astonishment and anger, he went back immediately.

Everyone would be humiliated and furious when his son got married yet did not tell him.

Upon Mr. Brennan's entering, Shania put down the cup and stood up to greet him with a sweet smile, "Hello, dad, my name is Shania."

"He…hello," replied Mr. Brennan, awkwardly stopping.

He just heard that his daughter-in-law was pretty. To his great surprise, Shania was so gorgeous and graceful that she looked shining in the house. Her noble birth was conspicuous.

And, no one would turn down a woman's greeting with a bright smile. Thus, Mr. Brennan did not give Shania a mean look.

He slowed down his pace and walked in, asking David in a soft tone, "When did you come back? Why didn't you tell us in advance?"

"Stop talking about nonsense." Mrs. Brennan interrupted his words and asked Shania, giving her a stare, "I ask you, are you pregnant?"

Shania blushed and replied in a very low voice, "Yeah…"

"What? Pregnant?" Mr. Brennan was astounded aside.

Mrs. Brennan totally ignored Mr. Brennan and continued to question Shania, "When did you know about each other? I've never known David had a girlfriend."

And, they just got the marriage certificates yesterday. Mrs. Brennan did not believe they could have a baby that soon.

"We've known each other since we all studied abroad. And we have been in love with each other for years," replied David. The reason why he gave the vague answer was that he did not want to tell the

whole thing to his mother, nor to make her suspicious.

If he told her they got the certificates as soon as they reconnected with each other, Mrs. Brennan would dig up their story as deeply as she could.

Mrs. Brennan became even more mad, when she knew David hid his love story from the very beginning.

She had been worried about David's marriage since David's job was stable. Every time David went back home, she would ask whether he had a girlfriend. She even arranged blind dates for him. However, David always told her that he did not have a girlfriend and refused all the blind dates.

If she urged him, David would tell her that he wanted to do his career better when he was still young. She never imagined he had a girlfriend and now got married unexpectedly.

Mrs. Brennan failed to describe her feelings clearly now.

"Why didn't you inform us before? No one gets married without telling their parents first," Mr. Brennan complained.

David returned straightforwardly, "I don't think I could get married successfully if I told you in advance."

As a matter of fact, a perfect couple would sadly part because of his nitpicker mother. David did not want Shania to confront the bad quarrel with his parents. So, he decided to marry Shania first and inform his parents later.

Having parted with Shania for so many years, David did not want to miss her again because of his parents' lousy ideas.

Mr. and Mrs. Brennan were annoyed by David's words, and at the same time, they were certain that David deliberately withheld his marriage news from them. All at once, Mrs. Brennan burst into tears.

"Why? Why is my life so hard? My daughter abandoned me, and now, my son isn't obedient to me.

"What happened to me? I worked so hard to raise my daughter and my son. Why do I end up like this?"

"Why do you end up like this? Don't you know why?"

Amid Mrs. Brennan's sorrowful cries abruptly came a clear, sharp voice. Instantly, she stopped crying and looked at the speaker—it was Shania on the opposite couch who looked at her with contempt, instead of being sweet and weak just before.

Mrs. Brennan was shocked beyond belief, unconvinced that Shania could speak out against her like that.

Beyond endurance, Shania could not keep her smile at Mrs. Brennan who was lying through her teeth.

Her daughter abandoned her? Her son was not obedient to her? These were implicit scolding of her as the culprit for sowing discord between Mrs. Brennan and her son.

Granted that Shania never appeared in their lives, Mrs. Brennan and David would not have a good mother-son relationship either.

Shania heard about Mrs. Brennan nearly disowning David before. And now, Mrs. Brennan tried to pass the buck to her.

She did not want to endure Mrs. Brennan any more.

Confronted with Mrs. Brennan, who was transfixed with shock, Shania rose and said coldly to her, "I can only tell you that— God is watching what you are doing."

With the special stress on the word "you", Shania's words were full of irony, which nearly drove Mrs. Brennan crazy.

Shania directly attacked her, "Don't be shrewish and make a scene. I'm not taking it.

"If you want to maintain a peaceful, lovely family on the surface, then you should keep calm. If you want your son to cut all ties with you as your daughter does, then you can just squabble with us.

"What will people think of you when both your daughter and son disown you? They will think Maisie and David aren't filial? Or will they believe you two are wicked?"

Shania took full advantage of Mrs. Brennan's weakness—valuing her reputation and accurately hit her. Mrs. Brennan could not create any disturbance.

Mrs. Brennan thought, "She's right. If David goes away, it will be so embarrassing for me.

"And he comes back with his wife. If we fight today, others will backbite me harshly."
