Though Stanley hadn’s formally introduced his girlfriend to his parents, it was no secret that he had been going out on dates with Mindy Griselda could easily find out with a simple investigation.
Who wouldn’t hope for their son to find a girlfriend from a similar social standing?
When Griselda initially found out about Mindy’s identity, she wasn’t too pleased.
Mindy came from an average family. Her parents were both ordinary workers, and she had two younger sisters and a brother, all of whom were still in school and required financial support. Mindy’s grandparents were grning on in years and frequently fell ill, while her uncle was in even worse health, confined to a Tspital bed
In shon, the Schmidt family was financially strapped.
Mily herself had dropped out of middle school and was working as a salesperson in a clothing store at a certain shopping mall.
Her conditions were a far cry from Stanley’s.
Fortunately, Griselda didn’t place much importance on social status. Considering that her son, who was deeply immersed in his studies, had finally fallen in love, she quickly accepted Mindy’s background. She believed that Mindy must possess qualities that her son admired. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be fond of her. A couple of days ago, Griselda, who was filled with curiosity about her future daughter–in–law, invited a few high–society ladies to go shopping. They visited the clothing store in the mall where Mindy worked.
Back then, there were other customers in the shop.
A couple of girls who appeared to be in high school were trying on clothes in the store. They were dressed modestly, Mindy was indifferent to them, barely acknowledging their presence, her eyes constantly darting toward the store entrance. Upon seeing Griselda and her party enter, she quickly abandoned the girls and hurried over to greet them, her face lighting up with a welcoming smile as she introduced them. around.
Griselda’s face had taken on an unpleasant look at that time.
Mindy, oblivious, was wholeheartedly focused on pleasing the major client.
Griselda went off to the side for a bit, and in the blink of an eye, Mindy had started arguing with those two young ladies.
ladies.
Originally, the young ladies wanted to try a different size, so they sought out Mindy, who was the one who initially served them. Somehow, a disagreement arose. Mindy, growing impatient, told the young “If you can’t afford it, don’t try it on!”
One girl, being rather sensitive, immediately flushed crimson. The other, filled with indignation, threatened to lodge a complaint against Mindy.
In the heat of the argument, Mindy’s arrogance was palpable. With a defiant outburst, she challenged, “If you dare, go ahead and file a complaint! Do you even know who my boyfriend is?”

Fearing that the name of Stanley might slip from Mindy’s lips and be overheard by the ladies who had arrived, Griselda immediately stepped forward to help her young ladies out of the predicament.
Mindy could only muster enough courage to intimidate high school students, pretending to be more powerful than she was. However, when faced with the affluent and imposing Griselda, her facade of bravery instantly crumbled.
The situation was eventually resolved peacefully, but Mindy’s image in Griselda’s heart plummeted drastically,
The company had been particularly busy recently, so Stanley hadn’t been able to return home for two consecutive days, Griselda hadn’t yet had the chance to discuss the matter with him.
She was truly feeling suffocated in her heart, but she didn’t want to bother Allison with this matter. Her relationship with Tamara was average at best, and she certainly didn’t want her circle of high–ranking ladies to know about it. So, she only vented her frustrations to Lenora and Mallory.
Lenora didn’t comment on Mindy’s character. She simply consoled, “Aunt Griselda, don’t worry. How long has Stanley been seeing her? It’s not certain that they will end up together.”
Griselda said, “You’re right. I’m indeed being too hasty
Shortly after, Griselda stepped out for a bit, and Harrietta also ran off to play in the yard, leaving only Lenora and Mallory alone at the table.
The two were engrossed in conversation when Mallory asked, “Nora, have you decided on a kindergarten
“No, she wants me to accompany her this afternoon to take a look,” Lenora responded.
“Why don’t she go to Ryan’s school? They can keep each other company.”
“Your suggestion is excellent. This afternoon, I’ll take Hattie to have a look. If she likes it, we’ll settle on it.
With a smile, Mallory hesitated for a moment before continuing her inquiry. “I heard that Hattie is registered under Zack’s household. Given how close she is to you, are you and Zack… considering reconciling?”
Lenora denied, “Mallory, you’ve misunderstood. I just really like Hattie. That’s all”
“I see…”
Lenora noticed the unnatural look on Mallory’s face and asked, “Mallory, what’s wrong?”
Mallory set down the food she was holding, her gaze dropping low. With a deep sigh, she murmured, “Yesterday, I heard him on the phone with that woman again…
Seeing Lenora standing with her against their common enemy, Mallory felt an increasing sense of injustice. Her eyes welled up with tears as she took Lenora’s hand and said, “Nora, I really don’t know what
Lenora studied Mallory’s condition, noting that she had lost a considerable amount of weight since their last encounter. Her appearance was haggard and worn.
The concept of love was indeed enigmatic. It could kill without a trace and wound without leaving a mark, yet it could effortlessly tear a person apart, leaving them riddled with emotional wounds and heartache.
If Johanne and Mallory had a marriage alliance, perhaps Mallory wouldn’t have experienced such pain. today.
Lenora advised, “If you wish to keep this child, I suggest you take some time apart from Johanne. This will not only provide you with the time and space to calm down, but it will also aid in the baby’s development. Moreover, it can give you a chance to gauge Johanne’s attitude. If you don’t want to, then it’s better to decide sooner rather than later…”
