Noble Husband At the Door

Chapter 15

Lydia's greatest wish was to find an opportunity to kick Samuel out of their home. As a result, she was

thoroughly incensed that Yvonne would speak on Samuel’s behalf and accept their marriage.

"I'm warning you, Yvonne. Don't end up having feelings for him. You won’t have a good future if you

follow such useless men. I’ve experienced it, so this is my lesson to you," Lydia said angrily. 1

During those three years of staying with Samuel, Yvonne's feelings have been developing

imperceptibly. She would never divorce Samuel even i f the collaboration with Weakriver Real Estate

never existed, so why would she do that when Samuel was the one who helped and facilitated the

collaboration? 2

The reason for Lydia's harsh attitude toward Samuel was entirely because she believed that Samuel

showed little promise. If Yvonne could just tell her about what happened with Weakriver Real Estate,

she believed that Lydia's attitude toward Samuel would definitely change.

Nevertheless...

Yvonne let out a sigh. 'Why won’t you let me tell them about it?'

"I'm not lashing out at you. I just don't want you to follow in my footsteps." Lydia noticed that her

attitude

was a bit too aggressive, so she toned it down a little bit.

"Mom, give him one year and he definitely will not disappoint you." Yvonne knew that Samuel was

changing for her sake. Although she did not know what exactly those changes were, she believed that

Samuel would one day make those who looked down o n him admire him. 1

"Hmph," Lydia snorted coldly and said, "He's a spineless good-for-nothing, just like your dad. What's

going to happen if you give him ten years? Look at your dad. Does he look promising now?" 1

"Mom, even though Dad hasn't accomplished much all these years, doesn't he treat you well? He

never went looking for mistresses, did he? Look at Uncle and the others. Which one of them doesn’t

have a woman outside of the home? Happiness isn't measured by money," Yvonne answered. 2

Although Lydia was angry, she knew that Yvonne was telling the truth. While Godfrey was poor and did

not show any prospects, he did not go out and frolic around willy nilly. He was very good compared to

other men.

"Okay, I’ll give him a year to see how promising he can become. But I'm warning you, you can’t let him

touch you," Lydia said. 1

Yvonne nodded. Although she faced her feelings for Samuel head-on, she was not ready for that yet. 1

When Lydia walked out from Yvonne's room into the living room, the only people she saw were Godfrey

and Samuel.

"Where's Harvey and his dad? Didn't they want to beg us? Why did they leave?" Lydia asked.

Godfrey glanced at Samuel with a trace of jealousy in his eyes.

Samuel put on an unyielding attitude at the door earlier and forced Harvey to scram. Godfrey had never

seen Samuel being so direct and fierce. It rendered him powerless to stop Samuel.

His live-in son-in-law had been useless for three years. Why did he suddenly change so drastically that

day? He was even brave enough to hit Harvey!

"I told them to leave. Since Grandma was the one who replaced the person-in-charge, she should be

the one t o deal with the problem herself," Samuel said curtly.

That sentence was like a bout of thunder that stunned Godfrey and Lydia to death. 2

Letting the old lady come in person was a demand that was both high and unrealistic.

"Have you gone nuts, Samuel?" Godfrey stood up suddenly.

Lydia looked scared as well, and she asked, "Samuel, d 0 you have any right to say anything in this

family? Do you even understand the consequences of doing this?"

The old lady was like the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Lydia may be a nasty wife, but she did not even dare t o breathe loudly in front of the old lady.

"She'll come." Samuel's calmness was beyond logic as he walked to the kitchen.

Lydia suddenly felt that she could not comprehend that good-for-nothing anymore. Did he take the

wrong medicine that day or had he lost his mind completely?

"Godfrey, this... What’s going on? Did he take the wrong medicine?" Lydia whispered.

Godfrey shook his head and said. "I have no idea, but h e seems very different today."

Suspicions surfaced in Lydia's heart. She thought of what Yvonne said before and wondered whether

Harvey might have had any real skills. 1 This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Do you think Mom will come?" Lydia asked.

Godfrey smiled helplessly and said, "Why would Mom come to this kind of place? Apart from staying in

her villa, when did that old woman ever go anywhere else? Who would want to invite her to their homes

unless they were staying in one of Cloudridge Hill's villas?"

Lydia nodded. The old lady always wanted the Sue family to have a place in Cloudridge Hill Villas. For

so many years, neither she nor any of her relatives or children had ever been there.
