Chapter 1160
"Hi, Aleigha." Charlotte's eyes were full of smiles when she saw Aleigha.
"Hi, Grandaunt, Grandpa and Dad."
This was the first time Aleigha had called Marcos Dad after her rebirth. She didn't want to, but she had no other choice. Marcos was obviously a little uncomfortable after hearing that. He smiled awkwardly and turned to go upstairs.
"Dad, when I was sleeping just now, I seemed to hear Aunt Lainey quarreling with Emilia. I wonder if I was hallucinating. "Emilia seemed to be crying, and she kept saying the word disgusting."
Aleigha looked at Marcos innocently and yawned on purpose.
"I see. I'll go ask them." Marcos said unhappily and hurried up the stairs.
As soon as he went upstairs, Aleigha ran to Dustin and Charlotte in a hurry.
"Grandpa, you seem to be really happy today. So does Grandaunt. What's the deal?"
Aleigha liked Charlotte from the bottom of her heart. But every time she faced Dustin, she felt constrained.
Still, she played innocent in Dustin's presence. She couldn't go back to being pushed around like she was in her last life.
"Your grandpa met some old friends today. The Xiaos said that they would bring Adrian here after a few days."
What?
Aleigha was a little flustered, so she said immediately, "I'm too busy studying now, and I don't think Adrian and I need to meet so soon. I want to spend more time with you guys."
As she said this, she leaned on Dustin like a spoiled child. "Grandpa, what do you think? Shouldn't I spend more time with you?"
Dustin was amused. His granddaughter was really adorable! His guilt about her made him move on.
It was not that the more you gave, the more you would get.
Aleigha was a good child. She had gone through a lot, but she didn't turn into a monster.
He appreciated that.
"B*tch, look at this mess!"
The angry roar of Marcos sounded from the second floor, and the three people downstairs looked up the stairs.
There was a loud slam of the door, and Marcos practically dragged Lainey out by her hair.
Behind them was Emilia, whose face was streaked with tears.
Seeing this, Aleigha didn't feel happy at all. It was not enough.
The same thing had also happened to her mom. At that time, she, a little kid, followed them with tears.
Then she was sent to the countryside. When she left, she saw Lainey's proud look and Emilia's mocking smile.
She didn't understand. Her mom was Marcos's legitimate wife. Why did he thrown them out of the Gardner family?
Why could Lainey boss around her mother in the Gardner family? Why could Lainey and her daughter humiliate them unscrupulously when she wasn't even Marcos's wife?
All the pain Lainey and Emilia were being through wasn't enough yet.
"Dad, let go of Mom." Emilia caught up with them and tried to help Lainey.
The next second, Marcos loosened his hand and gave Emilia a good slap in the face.
"Grandpa." Aleigha pretended to be scared and hid behind Dustin.
"They must have done something shameful again." Charlotte couldn't help mocking.
Emilia covered her cheeks as tears continuously flowed down her cheeks. "Dad, why are you doing this to us? Mom is still carrying your child!"
She had never thought that her father, who loved her the most, would treat her like this.
"What else are you and this b*tch not telling me?"
Marcos glanced at Lainey's belly and felt a little worried. He was so mad just now that he lost it.
Lainey squatted on the ground, tears streaming down her face. Then, she gnashed her teeth and stood up, which surprised Aleigha a bit.
She looked at Marcos with a gentle expression. "Marcos, calm down. It's all my fault. Don't be angry."
Wow, what a "bigger" person!
Aleigha's eyes were wide open, just like the others.
"Holy sh*t, has she had the strength to be thoroughly shameless? She really blew my mind."
Charlotte couldn't even believe this.
"Emilia, apologize to your father." Lainey pulled Emilia's hand and said with a smile on her face.
Emilia shook off her hand, trembling from anger.
"B*stard, how dare you look at your mother like this? You're impossible!"
Saying that, Marcos raised his hand and slapped Emilia to the ground
Lainey gritted her teeth and helped Emilia up. "Emilia, apologize to your father."
"Why should I? It's Aleigha's fault. I didn't do anything wrong!" Emilia pushed Lainey away and roared.
Aleigha raised her eyebrow and tightened her grip on Dustin's hand.
Seeing this, Dustin gently patted her hand. "It's okay. I won't let her hurt you."
From the beginning to the end, Dustin did not stop Marcos. He was more concerned with whether or not Emilia would get back at Aleigha.
"Go have an abortion." Marcos was burning with anger. He even wished he could kill Emilia.
Lainey knelt down and grabbed Marcos's leg. Raising her head, she sobbed, "Marcos, let's talk this over before we make any hasty decisions.
"Emilia can't have an abortion. It could ruin her life."
"This stupid child could ruin my life, too!" Marcos wanted to kick Lainey away, but he remembered that she was still pregnant with his child. In the end, he took two steps back. Lainey almost fell down. Fortunately, Marcos held her in time.
Lainey's eyes were full of sorrow. "Marcos, I know it was my fault, but it's already happened. She's our daughter. Shouldn't we help her?"
Looking at Lainey, Marcos went a little soft. But when he thought of what Emilia had done, he got mad again.
"Come down, all of you." Dustin suddenly said, his tone full of anger.
Marcos held Lainey and glared at Emilia. "Follow me."
The three people came down one after another. When Emilia saw Aleigha, her otherwise washed-out eyes filled with hate.
However, she did not dare to do anything to Aleigha again.
