CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 52: LIKE A TRANSPARENT PERSON 3

Mrs. Harris gently comforted her: "Men prioritize work. Everyone’s been busy lately, so it’s understandable that Brandan might not have taken good care of you. Don’t take it to heart."

Viola Harris felt much more at ease with her mother’s soothing words. She stood up from her embrace, looked at her mother, and suddenly laughed: "That’s true. How could Brandan like her? He’s mine, and no one can take him away."

Then, as if thinking of something else, she suddenly became worried: "But... Mom, Brandan’s illness..."

Mrs. Harris stroked her head, speaking softly: "Don’t worry... She won’t succeed. And even if he marries her, do you think they could last? At the Hyde Residence, there’s only Brandan, and she can’t even lay an egg... Do you think the Hyde family will allow their son to be left without descendants? By then, even if she refuses to leave, the Hyde family won’t allow it."

Hearing her mother’s words, Viola’s eyes slowly began to brighten, her beautiful face breaking into a sweet smile as she jumped up to hug Mrs. Harris’s waist: "Mom, you’re so good to me."

Mrs. Harris gently caressed her daughter’s hair, a smile on her lips, while her lightly made-up eyes sparkled with a faint light.

Five years ago, in that car accident, it was she who sent Iris Harris abroad and forged Viola Harris’s medical records to tell Brandan Hyde that Viola had saved him.

Because Viola said she liked Brandan Hyde.

As a mother, how could she not fulfill the wishes of her beloved child?

As long as Viola desires it, she would even pluck the moon from the sky for her!

She’s the only child in her life, she would even give her life for her.

Moreover, Viola likes Brandan Hyde.

Naturally, she would do everything in her power to bring them together.

***********************

Mr. Harris returned soon after.

When Iris Harris came downstairs, Mrs. and Mr. Harris were already seated at the table, with Viola sitting next to Brandan, attentively serving him food.

Mrs. Harris teasingly chided Viola, while also reminding her to eat more, creating a harmonious atmosphere at the table.

Iris Harris sat expressionlessly at her seat, picking at her rice with her chopsticks.

"Brandan, this tastes really good, here, have a bite."

With a bright smile, Viola placed a piece of beef on Brandan’s plate.

Brandan, a bit of a germaphobe, disliked eating food that others had picked for him. He glanced at Viola but said nothing and did not eat.

However, Viola seemed unperturbed, continuing to eagerly offer food to Brandan.

Mrs. Harris couldn’t help but laugh: "Viola, don’t always give food to Brandan, you should eat some yourself too."

"I like watching Brandan eat," Viola replied coyly, "seeing him eat makes me happier than eating myself."

"You two still have such a good relationship." Mrs. Harris laughed.

...

Brandan Hyde ate absentmindedly, not feeling very hungry today. He raised his head and glanced at Iris Harris sitting at the corner of the table.

She ate quietly, seeming completely out of place with the warm and familial scene in the dining room.

Brandan wasn’t foolish; in fact, he was quite astute, and naturally, he could see that Iris’s relationship with Mr. and Mrs. Harris wasn’t very good.

Though it appeared she was there to join the meal, she was like a transparent person at the table, completely ignored by the Harris family.

Thinking of this, Brandan felt a subtle irritation rising in his heart.
