Autumn York seemed to have forgotten about her earlier intention to leave in anger, not struggling at all. She let Alice Turner lead her to sit on the sofa.
She had finally understood; her son could abandon her at any moment. This woman really wasn’t simple.
She used to think this woman was skilled in business; she didn’t expect her to be even more adept in matters of the heart, able to make a man do this for her.
Not only was he not put off by the fact that she was divorced, he was even willing to unhesitatingly abandon the mother who raised him for so many years for her sake.
"Mom! Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Alice Turner felt uneasy under Autumn York’s stare. To ease her discomfort, she dutifully touched her own face.
Sophia Wood chuckled on the side, "Your mother-in-law thinks you’re too beautiful, so she just can’t help but look a little longer."
Who compliments their daughter like that? That’s a bit too obvious, isn’t it?
"Mother-in-law! Am I right? My daughter is beautiful, your son is handsome, the two of them are a match made in heaven." While others were still surprised by her words, she said something even more shocking.
"Mom! You’re making me embarrassed." Though Thomas Fisher said he was embarrassed, there wasn’t the slightest hint of it on his face; instead, it was filled with a joyous, happy smile.
His mother-in-law was always helping him, always indirectly persuading his own mother, yet his own mother showed no sign of responding.
Sophia Wood maintained her smiling face, "Mom is just being honest, you don’t need to feel embarrassed."
"Mom, I love hearing this kind of honest talk."
The smile on Thomas Fisher’s face grew even brighter and more radiant.
Watching her son so joyfully and naturally calling someone else ’Mom,’ Autumn York’s heart felt particularly sour, and her face darkened, "Thomas Fisher! When are you coming home with me, your real mom?"
The words ’real mom’ were emphasized heavily by her, deliberately flaunting to certain someone that she is the real mother.
Real mom!
Mother-in-law, calling her ’real mom’ with such bitterness, this is pure jealousy.
Sophia Wood gazed subtly at Autumn York. Seeing her eyes fixed intently on Thomas Fisher, she curled her mouth in a faint curve.
After all that talk about disowning her son, but isn’t she just smacking her own face now?
"I’m staying here for dinner tonight, you should stay and eat, too. I’ll call Dad later and ask him to come over," as Thomas Fisher spoke, he had already taken the phone out of his pocket, not waiting for his mom Autumn York’s response, and directly dialed his dad Cedric Fisher.
Autumn York really wanted to get up and drag her son away, but she realized she couldn’t, so she had no choice but to sit there awkwardly, watching her son make a call to his own father.
"Dad! Come to Alice’s house early tonight; we have something to tell you." As soon as the other end picked up, Thomas Fisher spoke before they could.
Cedric Fisher, unable to see who was on the other end, could already tell from Thomas Fisher’s tone that it was good news and agreed promptly, "Alright, I’ll make sure to come early."
"Don’t bother calling Mom; she’s already at Alice’s house," Thomas Fisher promptly reminded his dad, conveniently cutting off any escape route for his mom.
