I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 266

“I gained a new daughter. What do I care? Can’t I let the world know that I’m happy? Do you fancy yourself a school principal? Is that why you’re getting on my case? I didn’t say anything when you smoke and drink. Also, there was the time when

“Alright, okay! I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said anything. Will you please let it go?” Daken couldn’t take it when Mairi got going. He knew he’d never hear the end of it.

Avril hid her chuckle behind her hands and whispered to Bonnie, “Did you see it? There they go again. I see this several times a day.”

“They love each other a lot.” Bonnie loved how loving and harmonious the Smiths were. It reminded her of her family in the countryside. Her parents and Benedict were the same

way, too.

The Shepards weren’t even worth mentioning.

Daken couldn’t take it anymore. Realizing that asking for forgiveness didn’t pan out as he thought it would, he changed the topic and said, “Geez, honey. Did you prepare any gift for your goddaughter?”

“Oh, dear. You’re right.” Mairi removed her necklace and turned to Bonnie. “My mom gave it to me when I turned eighteen. It’s not anything luxurious, but it means a lot to me. I hope you’ll like it.”

“A–Are you sure?”

“Are you rejecting it because it’s too cheap? Is it because it’s less valuable than the ice- species jade bangle you gave Avril?”

Bonnie could tell Mairi purposefully put it this way. “That’s not it, Mom. It’s because the pendant is made of glass–species jade, Mom. I wouldn’t say it’s cheap.”

Mairi was a little surprised. “Sheesh. Look tell this is glass–species

6. How could you jade?”

“I developed a fondness for various jades and antiques in the past. So, I’ve been studying them quite a lot.”

What she said surprised Mairi again. “Did you dabble in antiques as well?”

“Nothing too serious, though,” Bonnie said humbly.

“Geez. You’re talented in so many areas,

the most exotic antique piece in the world. “There’s an Antique Jade Appreciation Conference in Jocrovania next month. How about you come with me? Do you have the time?”

At the next moment, Lorna Smith chimed in. She was the daughter of Murray Smith, who was Daken’s eldest brother. “Various prestigious figures from all over the globe will show up at the Antique Jade Appreciation Conference in Jocrovania, Aunt Mairi.

Bonnie’s just twenty years old. What’s the point in bringing her along? Do you think she’s going to be any help in appraising the antique?”

Mairi was displeased about the rude interruption, but she was the older woman here. She couldn’t be seen having a beef with the youngsters.

“Meet Bonnie, Lorna. I’ve just accepted her as my goddaughter. I know you have opinions about her, but I can guarantee she’s not even close to how the rumors described her.”

“I’m sure she got you fooled, Aunt Mairi. You guys are the only ones who think the world of her, while the Shepards have seen her for what she truly is. That’s why they kicked her out of the family.”

“That’s enough, Lorna!” Mairi roared, “I didn’t start anything with you earlier because I think of you as my niece. However, you kept coming at my goddaughter and attacked her with words. You have no respect for me.

“Now, it’s my turn to ask you something. Were those your words? Or did your parent feed them to you to repeat them to me?”

Lorna was thoroughly shocked by Mairi’s outburst. Turning around, she looked at her parents and asked for their help wordlessly.

Her mother, Kirsty Smith, came over and said with a big smile, “Geez. Listen to yourself, Mairi. You’re scaring the youngsters. Lorna’s just a child. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”

Avril leaned into Bonnie’s ears and whispered, “She’s right. Lorna’s such a baby.”

Bonnie hid her chuckle behind her hands.

Mairi stood before Bonnie and said, “Just a child? Fine. If you say she’s a child, then so be it. I can’t believe she made such nasty remarks when she was just a child. The fault doesn’t lie with her. That makes it the parents‘ fault because she’s just a child!”
