A Husband For Killer Mom

However, Raymond and Harmonie behaved normally and had no problem accepting an invitation from one of their mother-in-law’s stepbrothers, which further confused Anxia.

Then she heard the name ‘Andrew’ in the middle of their conversation, and strangely, it sounded familiar.

“Do you still not want to meet Quinn?”

That’s when the image of the memory she had forgotten just surfaced in her head.

Andrew Heinest.

Anxia recalled Richard asking Andrew for help when Quinn took their daughter away and poisoned her baby. If Andrew was Quinn’s older brother and Leo was Andrew’s father, that means…

They will attend the house where they will meet Quinn again?!

Suddenly, Anxia’s grip on the cup of tea she was about to drink let go, and now the cup fell and spilled all its contents.

.....

Instantly, Anxia stood up, followed by Harmonie, as the contents of Anxia’s cup wet the table and spread to the end before falling onto their bottom.

“Anxia, ??are you okay?” Harmonie immediately helped Anxia wipe the table where Anxia’s cup had spilled contents with a tissue. At the same time, Michele immediately shifted Lori’s chair back swiftly so as not to get Anxia’s drink spilled.

Anxia’s drink wasn’t dangerous, but it was hot tea that would hurt little Lori’s soft skin. That’s why Michele immediately stood up to save Lori when she discovered that Anxia accidentally dropped her teacup.

“Lori, I’m sorry. Are you hurt?” Anxia squatted down to investigate her daughter’s condition and could only breathe a sigh of relief when she didn’t see any traces of hot tea splashed on her daughter’s clothes.

Anxia glanced at Michele and looked at her gratefully. If Michelle had not helped her drag Lori’s chair back, Anxia couldn’t imagine what would have happened to her daughter.

In the next second, Anxia felt someone standing behind her―that person grasped her hand and pulled her to rise to her feet.

“I’m sorry, mom. But we will have to pass this time. I promise I’ll visit him next time in person.” After saying his statement, Richard turned to his sister. “Could you babysit Lori for a bit?”

Harmonie smiled at her as she agreed to her brother’s request. Then Richard took his wife out of the dining room, to the astonishment of all his family members.

“Did something happen? Why doesn’t Richie seem very fond of my brother?” Meisya asked her husband with a confused look.

“I guess what he doesn’t like is your niece.”

“Quinny? What’s wrong with her? She is a sweet and understanding girl. I don’t understand why people don’t like that girl.”

“That’s right. Quinn is a kind and sweet girl. Well, sometimes she does act a bit selfish, though. But she is a good girl.” added Raymond making Harmonie roll her eyes lazily.

Of course, Meisya and Raymond viewed Quinn as a sweet and kind girl. Only Harmonie knew what Quinn Heinest was like―prideful, arrogant, and believed everything belonged to her.

The girl loved to seek attention from Harmonie’s brothers, even kicking her out indirectly to monopolize her two older siblings. Luckily, Moni had mature thoughts compared to teenagers her age, so she didn’t complain or whine about taking back her two older brothers. But still, she hated Quinn to the bone.

Quinn’s mother―Madeline Heinest, was no better than her daughter. The old lady always liked comparing her daughter to Harmonie and ridicules her indirectly at every chance.

Lady Heinest preferred to boast of her two children and speak ill of other people’s children. Meisya was often patient, but when Madeline had overstepped her bounds, Meisya was always ready to defend her kids without hesitation.

If Leonard, Meisya’s dearest brother, had not fallen in love with Madeline and married her, maybe Meisya would not have wanted to be friends or be friendly with that woman.

But Meisya’s dislike changed when Madeline often left Quinn in her place. Quinn’s attitude was sweet and obedient, making Meisya immediately love her like her other children. Meisya, who likes to think positively toward others, was not at all suspicious of Madeline’s true intention: to leave her daughter in her place.

Quinn had already told her mother that she wanted to have a very handsome husband when she grew up; she decided no one could outmatch the handsomeness of Meisya’s sons.

That’s why Madeline often brought Quinn to Meisya’s residence to bring her daughter closer to Meisya’s children and started to be friendly and nice.

The plan worked. Meisya was no longer hostile toward Madeline, and Quinn managed to win her heart. Even her two older siblings seemed to prefer spending their playing time with Quinn compared to Harmonie―their young sister.

That’s why Harmonie gave up and let Quinn monopolize her two older siblings. After all, when the teenager returns to her house, Moni will get the attention of her two older brothers again.

On the other hand, Stanley did not like the closeness between Meisya and Leonard Heinest from the start. Not only Leonard, he still couldn’t forget Dieter Heinest―Meisya’s oldest stepbrother’s action of kissing Meisya to make him jealous. Although Stanley disliked all members of the Heinest royal family, he never forbade his wife from visiting them.

Since Meisya was born into this world, Stanley knew Dieter and Leo had accompanied her to play and provided knowledge about the outside world. Even though Meisya was not related by blood to the two men, Meisya considered Leonard and Dieter to be her older brothers.

Likewise, the two men treasured Meisya like their little sister.

Stanley understood Harmonie had little interest in meeting Madeline and Quinn. He knew Quinn always snatched her toys and tried to make a bridge between Moni and her two older brothers whenever Quinn visited their house.

But he didn’t understand why Richard looked displeased at attending Leonard’s invitation. At first, he thought Richard would turn it down because he wanted to avoid wearing formal clothes and meeting a lot of people. When Anxia accidentally dropped her cup, Stanley’s intelligent brain immediately guessed.

His son’s discomfort was apparently related to his daughter-in-law and Quinny Heinest.

Had something ever happened between Qiao Anxia and Quinn?
