She Got A Better Man

Chapter 174

Alice was already very lovely. After Skylar dressed her up, she looked like a real-life doll. The servants were completely charined by the little girl. Even while working, they couldn't help but glance in her direction. When Alice saw Elvira, she happily ran toward her. They shared special bond, and whenever Alice saw Elvira, she loved sticking to her.

Looking at the little girl who was as beautiful as a doll in her princess dress, Elvira couldn't bear to let her go and held onto her tightly. Zach was still on his way and would be there in about half an hour.

"Skylar, Tracy," Elvira greeted the two elders politely.

"Oh, Elvira, come sit down. Alice, let me carry you, okay?" Skylar hadn't had enough of Alice and was eager to hold her. However, Alice clung to Elvira's neck and shook her head. "I want Mommy Elvira to carry me.

"How can you call her Mommy Elvira? You should call her Aunt, Skylar corrected the girl.

"No, it's Mommy Alvira," Alice insisted stubbornly. In her mind, Zach was her father, and she didn't want to lose her daddy. If she called Elvira Aunt, she would have to call Zach Uncle. But she wanted a daddy, not an uncle. "What's wrong with this kid?" Skylar frowned, puzzled by her granddaughter's insistence.

"Skylar, it's okay. Alice is still young. Let her call me whatever she likes. There's no need to force it. When she grows up, she'll naturally know what to call me," Elvira said casually, not minding at all. Whatever Alice called her didn't affect how much they liked each other. Tracy looked at the warm and ordinary scene of three generations together. Her eyes suddenly turned a little melancholy. I it weren't for her unworthy son, this kind of happiness could have been her everyday life.

But because of Samuel's reckless behavior, she and Benjamin had lived a miserable life for many years, even having to guard against him. Only after her grandson had truly matured could she enjoy some peace in her old age. And when Benjamin had just started to enjoy life, he passed away. It was all Samuel's fault.

Just thinking about him infuriated the old lady. She wished she could break that her son's leg with her walking stick. Skylar pulled Elvira to sit down. She took the mashed potato brought over by a servant and began feeding Alice, who obediently ate it. Elvira turned to Tracy and asked if her health had been okay recently.

"I'm in good shape. Having Alice around makes me happy. I even eat an extra serving of food every day now," Tracy said, holding Alice's chubby little hand lovingly.

"It's true. Her appetite has improved a lot lately," added Anna, who was in charge of managing and delegating the matters related to Tracy.

As they were chatting, a servant suddenly rushed in with a flustered expression.

Anna frowned at the servant and said, "What's the matter with you? Just tell us what it is already!"

"It's... it's..." The servant stammered, unable to explain.

"Mom, it's me. I've come to see you," Samuel walked in with Mandy.

The moment Elvira saw the two of them, her expression turned cold. Tracy's face also darkened, while Skylar merely

glanced at them before resuming feeding Alice, pretending not to see them.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I say you're not allowed here? Get out!" Tracy immediately snapped. Seeing Samuel always made her angry, especially since she had just been thinking about how his actions had ruined her chance to enjoy family bliss. It was impossible for her to give him a good attitude.

"Mom, no matter what, I'm still your only son. Are you really not going to forgive me for the rest of your life? Do you want to end up like Dad, with no son by your side when you pass away?" Samuel was frustrated.

Although he wasn't short on money, as he grew older, he sometimes missed his parents. Especially after Benjamin passed, he had wanted to mend his relationship with Tracy and fulfil his duty as a son. However, Tracy wasn't willing to reconcile.

"Grandma, please stop being angry with Dad. We're all family. Family harmony brings prosperity. Do you really want to see us fighting all the time?" Mandy walked over and tried to sweet-talk Tracy.

Elvira watched the father and daughter coldly, then glanced at Skylar. Her expression remained unchanged as she joyfully played with Alice. Elvira was relieved to see her mother-in-law wasn't affected at all.

"You ungrateful son, you're just waiting for me to kick the bucket Say whatever you want, but I'll never let you step into the Gilbert family's home," Tracy said coldly. She didn't even want to waste energy getting angry at Samuel anymore. In any case, she would ignore him.

"Ms. Hughes, it's been so long! Over ten years, hasn't it? I've really missed you," Mandy said, turning to Skylar with the intent of provoking her.

Skylar looked at her and said with a mocking smile, "I really admire how thick-skinned you people can be. Samuel, take a good look at the kids your mistress gave you. Is there even one you can be proud of? They're so plain and unimpressive, without a shred of class. Honestly, it's like 'illegitimate child' is written all over their faces."

Mandy's face turned red with anger at the comment, and just as she was about to retort, Tracy added, "Exactly. Kids born from a mistress carry the label with them wherever they go. No decent family would ever welcome them, unless, of course, someone in the family has completely lost their mind. This is a disgrace to our family's name!"

Mandy had been ready to argue with Skylar, but when Tracy chimed in, she was so stunned she didn't know what to say. 'How could it's written on my face?' she wondered and even subconsciously touched her face, a sight that made Elvira chuckle.

"Tracy is right. My family practically rolled out the red carpet to welcome the mistress and her illegitimate children into the house, but now they're facing the consequences. That's why family values are so important. Tracy, you've always been the wisest," Elvira said with a smile.

"You!" Mandy was so infuriated. She couldn't stand how these people acted so self-righteous, as if they were still the legitimate family. The divorce was finalized, her mother had been legitimized, and yet they continued to look down on her and her mom. To her, it was self-deception.

"You two should leave now. Zach will be back soon, and it wouldn't look good if he threw you out himself," Tracy said, not wanting Zach to deal with this father-daughter duo.

"Mom, speaking of Zach, I just remembered that I found out he's the one who crippled Gary. Don't you think you should do something about him harming his own brother like that?" Samuel frowned, seeking justice for his eldest son.

Tracy waved her hand dismissively and said, "If Zach really did that, it means Gary deserved it. Zach wouldn't act without reason. You should be grateful he left him alive, and that's thanks to your father!"
