During the celebration earlier, those elite ladies were flattering her while surrounding her.
However, they were gossiping about her like that behind her back. Those elite ladies looked down on her.
Mireya’s lips lifted into a sarcastic smile.
Right, what those people said was the truth. Even though she was being buttered up and flattered, it could not change the fact that she came from a small place.
She felt sour.
At that time, she suddenly saw Rodney walking over from the other side of the corridor. His handsome face was filled with iciness. “Enough. Although my wife is from a small place, she’s way better than you all, the wealthy elite ladies from Canberra. At least she doesn’t have bad manners like you guys, gossiping about other people behind their backs. “
Rodney had unexpectedly shown up.
The faces of those elite ladies were flushed red from being told off. They could not accept it.
One of the elite ladies retorted, “Why? She’s one of the main characters tonight. Can’t we even talk about her? Besides, I didn’t say anything bad about her. All that we said were facts.”
“That’s right, Young Master Snow. Even if your identity is special, you can’t be unreasonable.”
Rodney’s gaze swept across the elite ladies’ faces. They were from wealthy families that Wendy had praised before. However, these elite ladies were so pretentious. He even thought they could not even compare to Mireya.
That was right. Although Mireya’s words were unpleasant to hear sometimes, she was not pretentious. She was straightforward with her words.
“Is this the manners that you all, the elite ladies of Canberra, have?”
Rodney sneered. “You’re embarrassing the people of Canberra. I heard that you all previously studied abroad. However, you don’t even have the most basic manners. Let me remind you of this. You’re all women too. You’ll get married, have children, and become fatter due to pregnancy. As women, shouldn’t you all think about things from a woman’s perspective? Don’t you know that many women are urging others not to body shame a pregnant woman and be respectful of mothers?”
Those elite ladies’ faces were burning hot from being told off.
Nevertheless, one of them was still unwilling to back down. She said, “Even if we get pregnant, we’ll take care of our figure.”
“Ha.”
There was a mocking expression on Rodney’s face. ” If you’re preparing to get married in the future, I’ll relay this sentence to your future in-laws and husbands. I can guarantee that no men will want to accept you. Is pregnancy the time for you to take care of your figure? That’s stupid. Are you an idiot that you’ll jeopardize the child in your belly for your figure?”
“You…”
That elite lady was exasperated. The remaining few elite ladies felt the anger radiating from Rodney. They did not dare to say a word.
After a while, an elite lady in a pink dress said,” Young Master Snow, we mean no harm. We were just chatting. Look, we often used to hang out with each other in the past. Give us a way out, okay?”
“You’re asking me to let you off, but did you show me any respect when you were gossiping about my wife behind her back?”
Rodney let out a cold hmph. “Besides, I didn’t hang out with you guys all that often. We just met a few times during banquets, chatted a little, and played a few rounds of games. That was many years ago.”
“Young Master Rodney, don’t be too much.”
It was as if the elite lady in pink was hit in the face by her own words. It was very awkward.
“So what if I’m too much? Who do you think you guys are? However, since you think it’s too much, none of you here have to attend any banquets held by the Snow family in the future.”
Rodney left in long strides after he spoke. Those elite ladies were dumbfounded.
Countless wealthy families in Australia were fighting to attend banquets held by the Snow family. Who knew that they would get themselves blacklisted just because they had gossiped about Mireya?
They regretted it so much that they wanted to spit out blood.
Did people not say that Rodney and Mireya had no feelings for each other at all? Why was he so protective of her? It was strange.
Rodney was heading toward Mireya’s direction in big steps.
Mireya instinctively hid inside a lounge at the side. Rodney did not notice her. He walked toward the private room where she was breastfeeding just now.
Mireya leaned on the wall while carrying Dani in her arms.
Her heart was beating wildly.
She never thought that Rodney would take her side and even scold those elite ladies for her.
Did he not say that her waist had looked like a pail? Why did he suddenly know to respect pregnant women and mothers?
Did he have a realization all of a sudden? Had he been like this all along?
Mireya realized that she might not have truly understood Rodney in the past.
Actually, Rodney was not that awful. His words were unpleasant to listen to but maybe it was just like what Mrs. Lynch said. It was her harsh words that made Rodney go against her.
There would be a person in the mirror with the same character as hers staring back at her.
Thinking about it closely, Rodney had his good points too.
Rodney prepared three meals a day for her after they started living together during her pregnancy, and every meal was packed with nutrition.
Mireya had been spoiled since young, so she was lazy and always lost things. She did not like to clean up the house either.
Whenever Patrick came to her house back then, he would complain that she was too lazy and messy. He would always say that Linda was so clean and tidy, asking her to learn from Linda.
At that time, she would retort like it was a matter of course, “I’m lazy, but I can hire a housekeeper.
Aren’t you willing to hire a housekeeper after we get married in the future even though you’re earning so much money?”
Patrick would only say, “I’ll hire a housekeeper, but you can’t be too lazy as a woman.”
Therefore, Mireya slowly began to change herself.
However, after living with Rodney, aside from telling her off a little in the start, he did not mention those things anymore afterward. He would just let the housekeeper clean the villa. He did not let her do any dirty or tiring work.
Even the fruits she ate were washed clean before they reached her hands.
Maybe because that person was Rodney, so Mireya overlooked a lot of details.
That might be the reason why her mother had suddenly said that she was also at fault for her and Rodney’s quarrels.
That was right. If only Mireya had explained properly that she was having a meal with the girls and not mocked Rodney sarcastically when he was suspicious on the day she gave birth, they would not have ended up fighting.
After calming down and thinking about many things, Mireya realized that she was problematic in many aspects too.
At that moment, her phone suddenly rang. It was Rodney who was calling.
Mireya’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly picked up the call.
“Where did you bring Dani to? You’re not in the private room. I didn’t see you in the banquet hall either.”
“I got lost. I’ll head to the banquet hall immediately.”
Mireya calmed down and spoke with complicated feelings.
Rodney unconsciously blurted, “You stu—“
He held himself back just as the words were about to spill from his mouth.
No. He had to control himself so that they would not end up getting a divorce.
“What were you going to say?” Mireya asked. If it were before, she would definitely become furious. However, thinking back to the scene of him helping her just now, she did not let herself get angry. ” Were you going to say that I’m stupid?”
“No, ” Rodney said with difficulty. “It’s normal to lose your way. I almost got lost too. Do you need me to go get you?”
“No need.”
After Mireya hung up, she strangely felt like laughing.
Rodney did not lose his way at all just now. He was so familiar with this place it was as if it was his own home.
