Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss Chapter 1178

Chapter 1178: Chapter 1150: Why is Kiara Crying (700+ Monthly Votes Update) Chapter 1178: Chapter 1150: Why is Kiara Crying (700+ Monthly Votes Update) Mario Yuno had no doubts that if he didn't let go of Kiara soon, the fruit plate in his mother-in-law's hand might be making its way to his face.

“Edward, you must be tired from a day's work, right? Come on up and have some fruit.” Kiara's mother called out with feigned enthusiasm.

“Not tired.” It's being separated from his wife that's tiring!

The little figure in Mario Yuno's heart roared.

“Mum! How can you come in without knocking?! When are you going to change this bad habit!!”

Kiara was fed up with her mum. She never knocked and always barged into Arlong's room at home, and now she was doing the same thing in her own house! The Old Lady had never had good manners her whole life!

Kiara's mother gave Kiara a sharp look with her eyes, that stinky girl!

“Come on, Edward, have some fruit ah, Kiara eat too, right now, you need to eat more, don't press down on your stomach, got it?”

That last statement couldn't have been any more obvious.

Mario Yuno couldn't sit still. He was afraid the straightforward mother-in-law would say something even more direct if he didn't leave soon, so he grabbed his phone and found an excuse to go to the living room.

No sooner had he left, Kiara's mother immediately locked the door, sat cross-legged next to Kiara, and without waiting for her to speak, Kiara spoke first.

“Mum, can you please be more mindful? It's a good thing Camden is easy-going and doesn't make a fuss. What if he was the petty type and had a mother-in-law who doesn't knock? Wouldn't it annoy him? Arlong is going to be looking for a daughter-in-law in a few years, and if you don't break this habit, don't come crying to me if you can't get along with your future daughter-in-law!”

“Is it me who's not mindful, or is it you guys? Let me tell you, don't get too close when the pregnancy isn't stable!” Kiara's mother passed the fruit plate to Kiara, not forgetting to give advice based on her own experience.

“I wasn't careful when I was carrying you, which is why you had a weak constitution, always falling ill every other day, all thanks to that good-for-nothing dad of yours! Also, don't get angry or fight with Edward when you're pregnant. I even suspect your brother is so slow because I fought with that good-for-nothing dad of yours while pregnant with him.”

Kiara's Mother would often reflect on why her two children's personalities and IQs were so different, and finally, she concluded it was the influence of the pregnancy period.

“Why do you tell me everything?” Kiara felt both amused and dismayed at her mother's bluntness, no wonder Camden had run off.

Camden didn't say anything, but Kiara was somewhat reluctant. Her mother would repeatedly nag her about all these pregnancy taboos, not caring whether they were scientifically valid; as long as Kiara didn't follow them, her mother would keep harping on about it endlessly.

The generational gap in parenting experience between the two was inevitable. Plus, sometimes Kiara's mother's actions were not quite appropriate. Having her around, Kiara felt pressured and couldn't help longing for those quieter days. She wanted to ask her mother to go back but didn't know how to broach the subject.

She could only look down at the fruit plate, huh, there's melon?

“Mum, how did you buy melon in this season? Don't you always say out-of-season fruits aren't good?” Kiara tasted it and indeed it wasn't nice. She took a bite, then put it down, and switched to an apple instead.

“Isn't it because I'm thinking of you? It took so much effort when I had you, and you almost died when you were little. I don't want my daughter to go down the same painful road. Kiara, what if I don't leave and stay to take care of you until the child is born, and go through the postpartum confinement with you before I go back home, how about that?”

“Uhm… you've seen it yourself, I have everything here, and so many people looking after me. It's better if you go back soon.”

Kiara thought of how her Mum had finally started a new family, and if she stayed here for a year or maybe more, even if Uncle Liao Walker had no objections, she wouldn't have the heart to do it. Besides, if her Mum took care of her like this, what about Olivia Brown?

Even if she was a stepmother, it wouldn't be right if the treatment differed too much; it would be unfair. After all, they had a Young Aunt at home. Her Mum's coming over was just for contributing some nagging and making awkward conversation with the son-in-law; she herself preferred some peace and quiet.

“I'm worried about you… Kiara, do you think I got scared? The day your brother had an accident, I lay in bed and had a dream. I dreamt you were pregnant and alone with no one to look after you, and it broke my heart to see you like that.”

Kiara's mother also became especially careful because of that dream, which left her upset after waking up.

Kiara couldn't help but laugh, “He had an accident and you dreamt about me? Why?”

“I don't know! I was so sleepy after donating blood to your brother, and then in a daze, I had a dream. I dreamt you had no money and no one to care for you, pregnant and living in a shabby little house. In the winter, you couldn't afford to pay for heating and had to cling to an electric heating pad under the quilt. It broke my heart to see you like that, and I was desperately trying to come to you, but I just couldn't make it…”

Even though it was just a dream, the memory of that vision made Kiara's mother tear up; the dream had felt too real.

She saw her capable eldest daughter, looking as pitiful as a child with no mother, pregnant and uncared for; she nearly got thrown out of the Hospital because she couldn't scrape together the Money. After waking up, Kiara's mother felt bad for quite a while.

At first, Kiara laughed it off, dissing her Mum for making a fuss over a dream, but the more she heard, the less she felt like laughing.

“Mum, what else did you dream about?”

“I also dreamt that you were pregnant, passing by a fruit stand and staring at a melon. It was expensive, and you looked at it and then walked away. When I woke up, I felt terrible. How could my daughter not afford even a little thing she wanted to eat?”

So when buying Fruits today, Kiara's mother specifically bought a few melons, but unfortunately, her daughter didn't like them.

“I was thinking you'd fancy them like in your dream and would eat more now. Ah, a dream's just a dream, none of it's real; here, if you don't want this one, I'll peel it and bring it to your brother.” Kiara's Mother stood up to go, but Kiara hugged her tightly.

“Mum…”

“Hey, hey, why are you crying? If you really miss me, I'll leave it here for you, and not give it to your brother. Don't cry! It's still scraps from your own meal, and I'm always on your side!” Kiara's mother didn't understand why Kiara was crying; she thought she was just being petulant.

Kiara didn't say anything, just kept hugging her mum and crying hard.

What her mother described as a dream wasn't a dream at all; it was what had happened in her past life!

In her past life when she was pregnant with Wendy, times were tough and she had to be frugal. Back then, all she could think about was how much she detested her own family, her Trash Dad, and how she resented her Mother for favoring sons and neglecting her. In truth, her mother was already struggling to look after herself; Trash Dad had left her with nothing, her Mum was having a tough time in the Countryside, and eventually fell ill. Barely able to take care of herself, how could she have possibly taken care of Kiara.

Now, hearing her mother's full-hearted expressions of love, Kiara thought of all the grievances and the relationship with her mother, feeling guilty and breaking into tears.

Her crying attracted the attention of Mario Yuno and Arlong; Arlong hobbled in with a limp, but Mario Yuno came rushing in much faster.

“What's wrong, Kiara?”
