Francine was a little puzzled when she saw so many guests at the house. She looked at Corinne who was feeding
Joey, then at Annie who sat next to Corinne. Finally, her gaze shifted to Aaron sitting beside Annie. She frowned
without hiding her displeasure. “Why are you still in touch with this jerk, Annie? You’re supposed to stay away from
him!”
Annie had been thoroughly focused on her food as she was hungry. When Francine made that remark without
considering the occasion, she felt embarrassed and did not know how to respond.
Aaron, meanwhile, smiled at her instead of getting angry. “Why do I get the feeling that you have a problem with
me?”
Francine was usually very bossy, more so when at her home. “I do! I don’t like you! Why would someone like you
come to our home? We don’t welcome you here!”

Pamela chastised her, “Don’t be rude, Francine! This gentleman is Corinne’s friend! Watch your tone!”
Francine was a little unhappy when her grandmother reprimanded her. She looked at Corinne and said, “I’m not
trying to single you out, but I think it’s for the best if you avoid having any contact with jerks like him. Aren’t you
repulsed by how…casual he is?”
Corinne silently glared at Francine. Aaron was a nonchalant person whose attitude was far from perfect, but
Corinne could not stand to hear other people badmouth him!
Francine felt a chill down her spine when Corinne stared at her like that. However, Francine was a very
straightforward person who never held back when it came to things she disliked. She glared at Aaron and said, “You
have no idea how terrible of a person he was. He plays with Annie’s feelings and leads her on, even though he
doesn’t feel the same way about her! When Corinne was hospitalized, he got a room with another woman and told
Annie to send some contraception to him! What kind of person does that?”
Pamela was old enough not to have heard about such uncouth acts. She could not contain her shock and
immediately asked, “What?”
Before Pamela could say anything else, Annie was so embarrassed that she lost her appetite. She put down her
chopsticks, got up, and said, “Sorry, please excuse me. I’m already full, and I need to go to the bathroom!”
The atmosphere at the table became even more awkward when Annie left.
Aaron glanced coldly at Francine before getting up to chase after Annie. Everyone else at the table looked
unhappily at Francine.
Francine felt a little uncomfortable when everyone stared at her, but she did not think that she was in the wrong.
She hated jerks, and she felt that she was in the right for calling Aaron out!
Corinne lost her appetite too. She down his chopsticks and said, “I guess Francine doesn’t welcome my friends over.
Forget about the meal, then. You people can continue! I’ve had my fill!” She then left the table with Joey.

Naturally, Xante left too.
What was supposed to be a decent meal ended up becoming a truly embarrassing situation.
Pamela frowned and glared at her stubborn granddaughter. “How could you say something like that about
Corinne’s friend?”
Francine had an innocent look on her face. “I’m telling the truth! He’s a jerk! He made Annie cry! I’m only looking
out for her!”
Pamela felt her head throb. “Annie doesn’t seem to be holding it against him, so who are you to complain about
what happened? Are you satisfied now that they’ve left the table?”
Francine pursed her lips. “Tch! It’s their business if they leave. We can just continue with the meal!”
Pamela snorted. “It’s bad enough that they all left without eating, but Corinne is pregnant. She left even though she
barely ate anything! If something happens to her pregnancy, you’ll never hear the end of it from Jeremy!”
