Chapter 102: Scold? Yes! 3
"She is also someone’s wife and someone’s daughter-in-law. She had more responsibilities than she usually had before. She had to take care of not just the Ford’s reputation but also the Jeffery’s. If you insult her in front of everyone in the Jeffery’s place, where do you think she would put her face? Thankfully, she is a smart lady. If she isn’t smart, not just her but even you would have lost your face in front of everyone. She acted according to the situation and salvaged everything. Look at her and then look at yourself. I don’t know when you will mature."
Faye sighed. She took a deep breath before speaking. "About earlier. I accept. I am wrong. I said the wrong words. I realized that a second later. I was about to apologize to her when Grace got involved. She made me look like a bully and an arrogant person out of nowhere. In fact, Helena understood that I was about to apologize as well. Even if I did not, she would have just scolded me.
"I never cared about how Helena scolded me. After all, like I just said, that was how we have always been. But before Helena could scold me, Grace stepped in. That fake woman turned everything into something weird using just a few twisted words. That was why Helena and I had to get together and act against Grace.
"I am not trying to justify my actions, but mother, can you understand what I was saying?" Faye took a deep breath.
She no longer knows what she was talking about or what her mother was scolding her about. She just brought up everything she wanted to talk about and explained.
Madam Morris looked at her daughter and sighed.
No one talked a word for a while.
Minister Morris coughed, nudging his wife with his elbow.
Madam Morris understood what he meant and spoke, "Faye. I understand the relationship between you and Helena has been like that for so many years. Even though I don’t understand why you two children behave like that, since I had seen you for so many years, I am used to it.
"But honey, just because we are used to it, does that mean it was right?"
She waited for Faye to think about her question for a few seconds.
"When you two were kids, it is cute seeing you two quibbling with words. But now you two are older. I see that Helena stopped provoking you like she did when she was little. She started behaving maturely. She only talks back to you when you start something.
