Patrick's villa.

A detached private villa, standing in the bustling city center of the capital.

In this prime location, this villa has become the most beautiful sight in the city.

The black Rolls-Royce slowly drove into the ground garage, and when the car stopped, Bradley got out first and then walked around to help Freya open the car door.

The two walked hand in hand towards the front door, and from afar they could hear the sound of a baby crying inside.

It seems that this family has suddenly added a second child, making it very lively!

Before arriving, Bradley had already informed Patrick, and just as he pressed the doorbell, someone came to open the door.

"Young Master Chen, Freya, come in!"

The ying opening the door was Patrick, evidently just feeding the baby, with a large stain of milk on his white shirt.

Freya glanced around the living room, not seeing Madeline, and curiously asked, "Where is Madeline?"

"She's upstairs," came the reply.

Just then, a reprimand rang out from upstairs, "Madeline, how can you be a mother like this? There's so little formula milk made, how will the child be full?"

This was followed by a round of arguing.

"Less food, more meals, do you understand? The child will spit up if they eat too much, which is not conducive to their growth and development!"

Patrick scratched his head, looking helplessly at Freya, "They're arguing again!"

These past few days, the household had been tumultuous every day.

The young ying crying, the elders causing a ruckus, and the young yings exploding like bombs at any moment.

As the mediator, he had to calm the young and old, and also soothe his wife's emotions.

This kind of life was pushing him to the brink of collapse.

Freya looked at Patrick's anxious appearance and asked, "Didn't we agree earlier that your mother wouldn't come?"

Madeline suffers from depression mainly because of Lina.

Now, with Lina back in her life, Freya truly worries that Madeline won't be able to bear it again.

Patrick sighed, "Sister-in-law, you don't understand my mother. Once she decides to do something, she will find all kinds of ways to make it happen."

"Just like this time, she used the excuse of visiting the children to come, and then she just stayed without leaving."

Otherwise, why would he willingly put himself in such a dilemma.

This time, his mother came, and he had his grandfather call him in advance.

Patrick has always respected his grandfather since he was a child and follows his grandfather's words.

Moreover, his grandfather is a fair and just person who never favors ying side. Even when his father had a mistress, his grandfather did not favor his mother but instead, as a mediator, criticized both of them.

But when it comes to having the mother come over to take care of the child, Grandpa firmly stands on the mother's side. Grandpa has said that the main problem in the discord between the Yara-in-law and mother-in-law lies with him. He admits that he has failed to handle the conflict between the two women, attributing it to his own ineptitude. Instead of trying to separate the two women, he is now trying to use wisdom to mend their relationship. For this matter, Grandpa even came to the house a few days ago to personally counsel him and Madeline. Patrick adamantly opposed the mother coming over, but Madeline, for some reason, agreed to letting the mother stay! To this day, Patrick still doesn't understand where the problem lies. Why did Madeline suddenly change her mind? But after these few days of interaction, he realizes that although Madeline has accepted the mother's presence, the conflict between the two women has not ceased for a single day. "I can't control your mother, I only care about my friend not getting hurt!" Freya looked up at the building and said firmly, "Go tell Madeline, I am here."

"Good!"

...

Patrick seemed to see a savior and hurriedly went upstairs.

As long as Freya came, the war between mother-in-law and Yara-in-law could stop for a while.

And he could take the opportunity to catch his breath.

As soon as he heard that Freya had arrived, Madeline immediately came down with the child.

Behind them, there were waves of cursing from Lina.

But because there were guests at home, Lina did not dare to behave rudely in front of outsiders.

So she slammed the door heavily.

Seeing this, Madeline smiled coldly, "She's truly a crazy woman, more than just going through menopause, I think she swallowed a barrel of dynamite."

Madeline, you have been wronged, if you change your mind and want my mother to leave, I will let her go now!" Patrick looked at Madeline with heartache, his face full of helplessness. He originally thought Madeline would be furious with him, but to his surprise, she calmed down and smiled at him, "Don't forget what your grandfather said, a man should not forget his roots. You are Lina's son. By driving away your own mother, others will only scold you for being unfilial." "As a Yara-in-law, if I am not good to my mother-in-law, it will also invite gossip, and I may even be falsely accused of being a seductive and cheap troublemaker who seeks to disrupt the relationship between you and your mother." "So Patrick, instead of kicking her out, it might be better to let her willingly leave. Only then can our life move towards the path of happiness." Patrick stared blankly at Madeline, somewhat incredulous that these words were coming out of her mouth. The past Madeline could not bear the slightest grievance. Because of her mother, she had quarreled with him repeatedly. But now, due to a single remark from her grandfather, she suddenly changed her tune. Could it be that she had been brainwashed by her grandfather?

Madeline saw through Patrick's thoughts at a glance, smiled, and handed baby to him, saying, "Don't worry about me and your mom, just trust me. I can definitely win her over!"

Patrick held the child with ying hand and gently touched her cheek with the other, saying with heartache, "It's all my fault, I've made you suffer!"

"If you don't want me to suffer, then do as I say. Only then can our family of four have a good life," Madeline said, giving him a push. "Alright, Bradley is here, go find him. I'm going to see Freya."

With that, she carried the little ying to the living room.

Although she agreed to let Lina stay, she would never leave the child alone with Lina.

That old witch had impure motives and only wanted to harm her and the child.

Therefore, she never let Lina interfere with anything, including eating, drinking, and using the bathroom!

Patrick and Bradley went to the study to discuss matters, while Madeline and Freya sat on the sofa chatting leisurely.

"Madeline, why?"

Freya hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Why did you choose to let Lina stay? You know well that this woman has malicious intentions, she might be trying to harm…"

"Will avoidance solve the problem?" Madeline interrupted calmly before Freya could finish.

She fed the baby calmly and patiently until he was full, then raised her head to look at Freya.

Her eyes were cold and emotionless, as if she was discussing something trivial.

Freya was taken aback.

After not seeing her for a few days, she felt like the current Madeline was a different person.

Terrifyingly calm, but when talking about Lina, there was a hidden emotion in her eyes that Freya couldn't decipher.

"Madeline, you..."
