Enchanted By His Charm

Irish opened her eyes but found Joseph staring at her. "Don't try to avoid the doctors, okay?"

Shocked, Irish looked at him with her mouth opened slightly.

"Of course, I don't mean to force you to do anything. No matter what happens, I will stay with you," Joseph added again.

Reaching out, Joseph rubbed her cheeks and then kissed her again.

Irish kept silent for a long while Joseph kept patting her back to comfort her.

"Don't think too much. Just forget what I said just now," Joseph continued.

He didn't want her to live with pain, so he would not force her to do anything she didn't like.

"Do you want to take a shower?" Joseph tried to change the subject.

Irish didn't reply immediately, but a few seconds later, she looked up at him and said, "I will."

Joseph looked at her with astonishment. 

"I would like to see the doctor," Irish added softly.

"Okay," Joseph pecked a kiss on her lips as a smile formed at the corner of his mouth. 

He tightened his arms while Irish closed her eyes to feel his heartbeat.

'Joseph, I would like to do anything for you. I will stay with you as long as you need me. But if you want me to leave you someday, I will also leave without any regrets. It is just because you brought me so many beautiful moments and made me feel happy. So, it is worth it,' thought Irish to herself.

New York, eight o'clock at night. 

As soon as Cassie returned home from the company, the young housekeeper stepped forward, took over the bag from Cassie, and told her Shirley was there. Shocked, Cassie felt depressed soon.

Roy kept his word and was about to move out to start their family life after they finished their honeymoon trip. Shirley opposed at the beginning and even quarreled with Roy several times. Roy knew his mother well, and he understood it was just her tricks, so he never gave up persuading his mother. However, Shirley told him that she was worried Cassie would feel lonely since Roy needed to travel on official business frequently since he was a captain of international air routes. But Cassie just wanted to make concessions to avoid trouble, so Roy finally came to terms.

However, Shirley started interfering with Cassie's daily life as soon as they lived together. Shirley even set a limit time for Cassie on her time to get up and then cook breakfast for her. What's more, Shirley stopped Cassie from attending any social activities. To make matters worse, Shirley was strict with Cassie's dress and stopped Cassie from wearing her usual dresses. Finally, Shirley told her that she needed to keep a good image before the public.

Shirley also asked Cassie to hand over her salary to her.

There were also some other rules set for Cassie, including her setting posture or table manners. Gradually, Shirley even forced her to attend some group activities with some celebrities. Cassie felt so tired of living with her, but she never complained about Roy since she also felt pity for Shirley, who was always alone. However, Shirley obviously didn't back down but was becoming more objectionable.

Roy was so attentive that he finally found the abnormal behavior of his mother. After negotiating with Cassie, Roy insisted on moving out with Cassie. Shirley still didn't agree with his decision, but Roy told her that if she wanted to have a grandson soon, she had to let them move out. After hearing this, Shirley then gave in.

Roy bought a house near Shirley's house and then moved out with Cassie; after all, Roy still worried about her mother, who was living alone. He employed two housekeepers, including a housekeeper who had worked for their family before and a young girl, to take care of his mother.

At that time, Cassie asked her, "What's your name?"

The girl smiled very honestly and said, "My name is Hippno."

Cassie thought her name was quite auspicious, and she asked Roy to hire her to take care of the family.

So, everything has been done, but Shirley would often come to Roy. Every time she showed an unfriendly attitude. But Cassie would regard her as the elderly. When Roy was not at home, she also turned a blind eye to her attitude.

Although Cassie tried not to take things as seriously as possible, as long as Shirley came, she would always find faults, so Cassie had a psychological burden.

So, when she heard Hippno say that Shirley had come, she took a deep breath and sighed deeply, thinking that it was another event or party because the next day was Saturday.

It wasn't that she didn't want to go to the events, but the point was that she had followed Shirley to attend the meeting of some of the rich ladies before, whose women asked her family, and Shirley said with a sigh and was unhappy to her.

Though it was true that Cassie was a Cinderella, there would be resistance.

Roy had gone overseas, not knowing to come back tonight. The thought of her mother-in-law at homemade Cassie helpless.

Hippno told her that Shirley did not look good.

Cassie's heart sank again.

When she entered the room, she saw Shirley sitting in their bedroom with a really gloomy face. And when Shirley saw her coming back, she said, "Close the door. I have something to ask you."

Cassie heard her heart clatter, and she closed the bedroom door.

"What's the matter?" She put down her bag.

Without answering, Shirley snapped her hand on the coffee table. "Tell me, what kind of medicine is this?"

Cassie looked at her hand. It was a box of medicine quietly lying there. Her look first stupefied, then she was slightly embarrassed. Finally, after seeing the situation, she stood up. "Are you taking it on my son's back? Why did you marry my son if you don't want to have a baby? What is your purpose for taking this medicine? Did you discuss it with my son?"

For a while, Cassie was stunned. This happened suddenly, and she was at a loss. Indeed, Roy did not know about her medicine.

Shirley was even more indomitable.

"You're married now, and it's normal to have babies. So what are you taking medicine for?"

Cassie felt a headache. It was a long time before she asked, "How can you go into the bedroom and rummage our things?" 

"It's my son's house, and I'm not breaking the law to come in and rummage? What? Guilty? What if I did it? If it hadn't been for me, you would have kept my son and me in the dark forever!"
