The old lady watched his retreating back and exploded in anger, "You ungrateful wretch! It's that siren's fault, leading you astray, defying your own parents! I can't get a word in edgewise with you anymore! Fine, leave! Go far away and take that siren and her little demons with you, and never callmother again!" Madge's defiance was a slap in the face for her.

At that moment, the old lady's disdain for her daughter-in-law, Madge, reached its peak, and even Norris, her son, wasn't spared from her bitterness.

Of all the people in the world, why choose this one! All of them, disobedient and ungrateful! On the way home, Norris was silent.

Seeing this, Madge gently took his hand.

Norris looked at her and smiled, signaling he was okay.

He had gotten used to his mother's favoritism over the years, and this wasn't the first tthey had left on bad terms.

He used to endure it, but when it cto Roseanne, even Norris' patience had its limits against such slander. Arriving home, Madge started to head to the kitchen to cook but was stopped by Roseanne.

"Mom, letdo it." "You?" Back at home, Roseanne never lifted a finger in the kitchen; it was always Norris who cooked and served her. "Yeah, today you'll get a taste of my cooking." "Don't end up burning the kitchen down," Norris joked, his mood lightening despite the earlier tension. Roseanne, indignant, retorted, "Am I really that bad?!" Both nodded in unison.

Roseanne was speechless.

An hour later- Looking at the feast before them, Norris and Madge were stunned.

Sizzling bacon-wrapped asparagus, beef stew with a rich tomato base, sweet and sour chicken, BBQ ribs, crispy fried chicken, roast duck legs, two kinds of steamed vegetables, and a creamy tofu soup.

Madge swallowed hard, "Did... did you make all of this?" Roseanne nodded proudly, "Yep~" Norris took a bite and his eyes lit up. "I'll be damned, it's really good!" "Really?" Madge was skeptical until she tried a piece of the BBQ ribs and instantly gasped in surprise, "When did you learn to cook like this?" They couldn't believe it! Roseanne answered with a hint of pride, "Did you think I was just loafing around these past few years? Eat up before it gets cold." The family enjoyed a hearty meal together.

Afterward, Madge and Norris were ushered to the living room to watch TV by Roseanne, who took it upon herself to clean up the kitchen.

When she finished and was about to join them in the living room, she overheard Norris, his voice choked with emotion, "Honey, our Anne... she must have had it tough out there." "Yes, you can tell by the way she handles the vegetables and her skill stirring the pot; she must have cooked a lot." Roseanne felt a lump in her throat.

In the middle of the night, a heavy snow fell, chilling winds howled outside, but inside, the family slept soundly. Early in the morning, Roseanne overheard Norris, "The snow was so heavy last night, and the balcony door is broken. Let's avoid going out there for the next few days; we don't want anyone getting hurt."

Their old neighborhood had been hfor decades. Although the building structure remained solid, the interior had aged and was vulnerable was to extrweather conditions. Looking around, Roseanne realized for the first thow old their hhad become, its decor a relic of the past.

"...Why are you blaming me? Which eye of yours sawdo it? Don' think just because you? Don't you're shot-shot author, you can throw accusations around!" Outside, the argument escalated, and Roseanne and Norris hurried to the yard.

There they found Madge, eyes red and breath short, facing off against Louisa, who stood with her hands on her hips, exuding an air of casual triumph. X
