Chapter 1209: Chapter 1181 Oh, this is fun Chapter 1209: Chapter 1181 Oh, this is fun “Wasn't it your master who always told you to get married quickly to avoid disasters? If she's not a mystic, then I'm the kindest psychologist.”
When a person who charges thousands per hour says this, everyone laughed, but Olivia Brown took it very seriously.
“It's true. My master might know a lot about mysticism, but she herself says that mysticism is just the manifestation of an unknown higher science. She often tells me that life and death are destined and that marriage is a thread of fate, and everything else is changing. Most of the time, she teaches me to go with the flow, like with getting pregnant–she tells me not to be too stressed and not to believe in all that nonsensical stuff.”
Kiara laughed, “After all, when it comes down to it, all the Old Ladies in our family, educated or not, can't see as clearly as a person of the Tao.”
The people who should be the most superstitious are those without any prohibitions.
The girls played cards for a while until suddenly the door opened, and Kiara's mother entered the house muttering to herself, causing everyone to turn and stare in shock.
Kiara covered her mouth in surprise and pointed at her Mum's head.
“Mum, what happened to your hair?!”
Kiara's mother originally had long hair all combed back, but in just a short time they hadn't seen her, she now had short hair, wearing Daniel Johnson's down jacket. Johnson, just in a sweater, entered the room sneezing constantly. Kiara's mother was holding the originally bright red down jacket she wore, which now had a big hole burned in it, and feathers flew out with every move.
Seeing her Husband freeze like that, Olivia Brown quickly pulled him inside and poured him some hot tea. What on earth happened?
“Don't even mention it. There were too many people burning incense, and that old woman at the back was shaking like a sieve when she came out to pray, too. I was thinking, with her hand shaking like that, why even come here? I was still pondering that when suddenly I smelled something burning. I even asked your Uncle Liao if the Temple Grounds were doing well with all the smell of burning incense.”
Kiara's mother said this huffily, and Robert Johnson picked up the story.
“Just after she said that, I saw smoke coming from her head…”
That image was just too… something.
“What's even more infuriating is that there was this little brat in front of me who pointed and said, 'Quick, look, someone is becoming an immortal!' I'm becoming your grandpa's claw; that shaky old lady set my hair on fire!”
This sounds like a rather sad story, but with the way Kiara's mother dramatized it, everyone found it quite amusing. They didn't dare laugh out loud in front of Kiara, so they kept their heads down and held in their laughter.
Emma, it's hilarious!
“So how did you put out the fire? You didn't burn yourself, did you?” Kiara asked anxiously.
“The Temple Grounds are always ready with water and fire extinguishers. Apparently, every year there are people who get their hair and clothes set on fire due to fervent incense burning. They just splashed water on me, and those people at the temple still dared to say, 'Madam, you are going to be on fire this year.' Pah! I'll set them on fire!”
Everyone wanted to laugh but couldn't. The eloquent Tony Stone quickly tried to smooth things over.
“Auntie, this is a small financial loss to avoid a major disaster. From today on, you'll throw off all bad luck, and all that's left will be good things.”
Kiara's mother liked to hear that and immediately burst into a smile.
“Only you guys would believe in such an unfounded pep talk. After all, this was all my Mom's doing.”
Kiara's daughter's remark stopped Kiara's mother's laughter in its tracks.
“The saying 'After extreme bad luck comes good luck' is just like 'tomorrow will be better,' both are poisonous chicken soups that numb people's hearts. In reality, this was entirely avoidable. Why did you go when it was the busiest time? And not only did you go, you chose to crowd around that trembling Old Lady, couldn't you have avoided her? You get burned and then blame the gods for not protecting you, but think about it, there are so many people in the world, could the gods really look after everyone with brains as faulty as yours?”
“Emma! I'm so mad!” Kiara's mother couldn't save face, she used to pinch her daughter playfully when she was being cheeky, but now that her daughter had a child, she was far too precious to be scolded or hit, and she was left to complain to her spouse.
“My spouse, hurry and fetch me my Danshen drip pills, I can't take it, I've run out of breath again!”
“Enough, enough, stop with your nonsense and go inside to take a hot shower and change your clothes, I'm not mad at you anymore.”
It wasn't until her Mum went inside that Kiara whispered, “Did you see that? The menopausal Old Lady has evolved the ability to feign illness. I feel like the whole world owes her an Oscar for the way she clutches her heart.”
Everyone was amused by Kiara's joke, and Robert Johnson laughed and shook his head, “What are we going to do with you and your mother? You bicker whenever you meet, but miss each other when you're apart. Your Mum mentions you more than ten times a day when you're not home, but as soon as you're here it's nothing but arguments.”
“It's okay, we've been like this for many good years,” Kiara had long been accustomed to this way of interacting with her Mum, “Giorno, you're alright, aren't you?”
Giorno sneezed, making everyone laugh again.
“I tell you, this daughter of mine is not as good as Giorno here. When someone splashed water on me, he quickly covered me with his jacket and led me down the mountain to get a haircut. All you do is make snide remarks!” Kiara's mother poked her head out of the door to banter with her daughter.
Kiara stuck out her tongue at him, nonchalantly, nonchalantly, “Your hair is all burnt and you're not hurrying to shower!”
“Actually, if you ask me, when it comes down to feelings, it doesn't matter whether someone is your own child or not, it's all the same. If the affection is nurtured well, it'll be just the same,” Tony Stone said attentively, watching Chloe who was sitting on the side playing with Beautiful Lady, and he quickly added.
Kiara's mother then realized Chloe was still there, and what she had just said was somewhat inappropriate. She quickly retracted her head and hid inside to shower.
The atmosphere turned a bit awkward, as everyone's attention was on Chloe, worried that the child might have overheard.
Chloe, without lifting her head and still hugging Beautiful Lady, seemed to talk to herself, “Beautiful Lady, who are your daddy and mommy? My daddy is Indra Yuno, my mom is Ivana Dobberman, my soon-to-be-born little brother is called Riri Yuno, and I'm Charles Yuno!”
Others might not understand, but Kiara and Isaac, who were professionals, knew crystal clear, the child was feeling very confident right now. He was saying this to reassure the adults, in many ways telling them that he actually wasn't as fragile and sensitive as they might have imagined.
Kiara nodded in approval to Isaac, “You've done well.”
At first, Isaac decided to tell the child part of the truth, and he and Second Brother lavished Chloe with love. Gradually, the child's psychological shadows also dissipated. It was hard enough to raise an ordinary child well, let alone one with special genetics like Chloe.
Of course, all credit for this had to go to Isaac, who poured so much motherly love into Chloe, healing the child's emotional wounds.
“Receiving your praise really is too–” Isaac was a bit embarrassed to be praised by Kiara and was about to reply with some pleasantries when she suddenly felt warmth beneath her. Her face turned red in an instant.
What's happening?
Could it be that being praised by Mrs. Kiara made her so happy that she wet her pants?!
