Chapter 384: A Warrior Woman
"When Albert said he loved ’Rose’, he meant me, not roses as in flowers, Aunty Edith." The Dowager said and Talia took a step back as she had never seen her great grandma being this bitter with anyone. Standing by her side, Talia felt the hate emitting from her great grandma.
"So the wench who stole my betrothed is finally here!" Lady Edith’s tone wasn’t close to polite either.
"Stole?" The Dowager chuckled and Talia felt the chill. "Your Betrothed fell in love with me at first sight. He then went against everyone to make me his wife. He was more than happy to make me the Queen of this kingdom and the mother of his children. I had no choice there, did I?" The Dowager answered calmly.
Whoa, so Celine’s info was right! And Gigima is savage! She made it like her husband was the one who chased after her when she was not even that interested with him.
Talia was impressed. Now Lady Edith will feel worse that her pure heart filled with love was ignored by King Albert for someone who didn’t even appreciate him. Wow!
Lady Edith picked up the vase on the windowsill and tried to throw it at The Dowager. Talia shielded her great grandmother instinctively. Thankfully the strength of the old lady was not great and the vase fell on the carpeted floor with a thud and didn’t even break.
"Let’s leave the past at the past, aunty." The Dowager said as she sat on the chair Talia got for her.
Lady Edith’s wrinkled face twitched and she gripped the dress she was wearing. "Who’s your aunt you shameless-"
"Should I address you as cousin, then? You married my cousin after all!" The Dowager smirked and Lady Edith gritted her teeth.
"Have you met Talia? She’s my Lillian’s granddaughter. You were with me in those days when I was missing my daughter, comforting me. So I brought her to meet you before you kick the bucket." The Dowager pushed Talia to the front with a smile. "Doesn’t she look just like Albert?"
"Who’s going to die-" Lady Edith shouted and ended up on a coughing fit.
