Chapter 429
Chapter 429 Family Relations Ease
As for Aaron's brother Joe Morris, I had long heard from Colston that he was Lady Grace's favorite child, so his personality should have been livelier and he should have become the family's mediator
But when this series of arguments happened just now, Joe sat across from us, enjoying his breakfast indifferently, without any intention of intervening. Perhaps he had already become accustomed to the tense atmosphere between Aaron and his father, or perhaps he knew that speaking up would not calm down the anger of old Morris. In any case, he was like a transparent person, and I couldn't imagine that he was the most favored eldest son in the family
The breakfast left me feeling unsettled, while Aaron seemed indifferent. I, on the other hand, felt like I couldn't sit or stand comfortably in the middle
Especially with the sharp gaze that Mrs. Morris occasionally cast my way, I became increasingly uncomfortable, and from the bottom of my heart, I wanted to ease the strange atmosphere in this house
After all, we just came back to celebrate the festival, so there is no need to make the atmosphere too tense. It's best for the whole family to be happy and cheerful
However, it is obvious that it is difficult for Aaron or Joe to make their parents happy
I focused my gaze on Molly and Jasmin, my twin daughters, who were being fed by the
nanny. Perhaps they had experienced too many difficulties and obstacles while they were in my belly, but after they were born, they were much easier to take care of compared to other children of the same age. Even though they were slowly teething, they did not have any of the low-grade fever or crying that other mothers talked about
So whoever held my daughters, they couldn't help but praise them as angelic babies
So their grandparents shouldn't have disliked them either, no matter what undisclosed conflicts there were between the older generations, children are always innocent. Their tender eyes would unconsciously soften people
So after breakfast, I deliberately used the excuse of needing to go upstairs to deal with some work emails and asked Mrs. Morris and Aaron, who were staying 1n the living room, to take
care of the two children
Aaron glanced at me in surprise, hesitating to speak as I avoided his gaze
Mrs. Morris! face changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal, still wearing her lukewarm smile that reassured me
However, she may be indifferent and distant towards adults, but when it comes to children, that fake mask only lasted for less than half a minute. I saw her smile with joy as Molly accurately pointed out the location to grasp the toy based on her description
Even old Morris, who was quietly reading the newspaper on the side, couldn't help but exclaim, "See, my granddaughter is definitely exceptionally intelligent."
Mrs. Morris continued to tease Molly, while Aaron remained silent, but the tension that hung in the air between this family had indeed subsided quite a bit
I stood at the corner of the stairs, watching this scene, and couldn't help but praise my own wit in my heart
In fact, conflicts between parents and children are always easy to resolve, unless it is like my family, where parents and daughters have not been very familiar since childhood
Obviously, I had never heard that Aaron had left his parents when he was young, so 1t should not be difficult to repair their relationship. Just now, with Molly and Jasmin as lubricants, the atmosphere in the living room was noticeably more relaxed than during breakfast time
Just as I was silently admiring my masterpiece with satisfaction, a deep male voice suddenly came from behind me
"Aaron ran from New York to Antarctica overnight for you, and that's when I knew you weren't an ordinary woman. It seems evident now that there aren't many people who can peacefully coexist with both of them and Aaron."
Joe was always silent
I turned around and met his playful smile. In my mind, I was pondering whether I should take his words just now as a compliment. However, in the next second, I saw him withdraw his smile and when he spoke again, there was a hint of warning in his tone
"Is Olive okay? Listen, no matter how much you
desire to climb to the top, don't bring your ideas into the Morris Group. Aaron doesn't want to become the heir of the Morris Group, and your efforts to repair his relationship with his parents are useless. Besides... their relationship is not something you can improve on your own."
I paused for a moment, I could understand every word Joe said, but when they were strung together, they made me feel unfamiliar
Was his intention... that I went to great lengths to mend Aaron's relationship with his parents, just to make sure that old Morris would lean more towards Aaron 1n the choice of heir?
Oh my God!
I couldn't help it and blurted out "shit" when I saw Joe's meaningful expression
