Chapter 1336 Making Things Hard For Her
As a result, Nancy decided to shut her mouth and listen as Melissa continued with her complaints.
"Aunt Melissa, please don't be mad with a servant," Leila interrupted. Melissa immediately stopped to
hear her out. "Let me go to the kitchen and cook a new dish for you. All these dishes are too oily and
are not good for your health." Leila turned to walk towards the kitchen but Melissa grabbed her hand to
stop her.
"Leila, I appreciate what you're wanting to do. But you don't have to do that. It has been a while since
my daughter-in-law prepared something for me. I would like to ask Sheryl to cook for me today
instead."
Melissa turned to look at Sheryl coldly. Knowing that she wouldn't refuse her request, Melissa
intentionally said that to exhaust Sheryl.
As a matter of fact, Melissa really didn't care about dinner. She just enjoyed bossing Sheryl around and
finding ways to infuriate her because she wasn't the reactive type. Sheryl just remained silent and bore
all her unfair treatments.
"Sheryl, would you like to cook for me tonight?" Melissa stared at Sheryl, waiting for her answer.
Her question not only surprised Sheryl, but also Nancy.
Everyone in the room knew that Melissa was stirring up trouble again.
At last, Nancy confirmed that both Melissa and Leila were finding excuses to make things hard for
Sheryl. She felt enraged with Melissa and Leila, and sorry for Sheryl. Nancy stepped forward, wanting
to argue with Melissa.
"Mrs. Lu…" Before Nancy could finish her words, Sheryl grabbed her hand and pulled her back. Nancy
looked at her in confusion.
In turn, Sheryl gave Nancy a look. She shook her head, gesturing for Nancy to stay out of this fight.
"Nancy, can you help me take care of Clark and Shirley? They are very picky." Sheryl called out to
Nancy. Seeing the anger in her face, Sheryl was worried that Nancy would be scolded by Melissa
which could aggravate to a fight.
Sheryl could see the satisfaction in Melissa's and Leila's eyes and she knew that they were trying to get
her into trouble. Still she calmed herself down and tried not to look affected. On the contrary, she was
looking for a chance. She came up with a plan to mess with Melissa this afternoon and was wondering
how she could carry it out. Now she found the perfect opportunity.
Sheryl said to Melissa indifferently, "Since you've requested, I'll love to cook for you. It will be my
pleasure. I will go to the kitchen now. Please give me a few minutes. Dinner will be ready soon."
She ignored the confused expression on Melissa's face and walked straight to the kitchen, a devilish
smile creeping onto her face. She remained calm as she walked slowly and steadily.
This made Melissa frustrated. She wanted to see her in panic if not angry. But she found her
composure in a snap. Anyway, she had many plans in store to piss Sheryl off.
Leila and Melissa exchanged gaze. They both saw the excitement in each other's eyes as they waited
for Sheryl to return with her dishes.
"Aunt Melissa, are you sure you don't want me to go to the kitchen and help Sheryl? I am worried she
might use some tricks. After all, she is weirdly obedient." Leila knew that Melissa held some grudges NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
against Sheryl and what she just said poured oil into the flames. She did it on purpose because she
looked forward to the fight between Melissa and Sheryl.
Melissa sneered, "She better not pull any stunts. If she dares to do something, I swear I will make her
pay."
Melissa's response made Leila more excited. It sounded like Melissa was going to make a scene, so
she added, "I don't think that Sheryl would really listen to you and do what you ask her to do. You'd
better teach her a lesson later in order to let her know who is in charge in this house. Otherwise, she
will never take you seriously and just continue to oppose you."
Hearing Leila, Melissa became more determined to take her chance to teach Sheryl a real lesson.
During this time, Nancy was taking care of kids and feeding them. From time to time, she would glance
at Melissa and Leila.
Nancy was anxious and worried about Sheryl all the time because even a fool could tell that Melissa
was messing up with her. She couldn't understand why Sheryl would listen to Melissa, acting like it was
no big deal.
Nancy decided that she would call Charles if Melissa continued to make trouble for Sheryl. Nothing bad
would happen under this roof if Charles was back home.
That thought put Nancy's mind at ease. But still, she kept an eye on Melissa and Leila.
From the living room, Nancy watched as Melissa and Leila talked to each other. Soon, Sheryl returned
from the kitchen with a plate of dish in her hand. She placed it on the table and then walked towards
Clark and Shirley.
Melissa held back the words she wanted to say.
"Clark, Shirley, go back to your bedroom and finish your homework after dinner, okay?" Sheryl
reminded them.
The kids nodded their heads and then race to their bedrooms.
Sheryl walked back to the dining table. Since Melissa was going to get her into trouble, Sheryl didn't
expect her to appreciate her work or give her any compliments. Rather, she expected Melissa to say
something harsh to her and make a scene.
Sheryl really didn't care about that. But she didn't want her kids to see how irrational Melissa could be.
After all, she was still their grandmother. She didn't want to scare her kids.
Melissa stared at the two dishes but she didn't dare to take a bite.
All of a sudden, Leila pulled Melissa's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Aunt Melissa, you'd better ask
Sheryl to taste first."
Melissa listened to Leila and nodded. Actually, she was thinking about the same thing. Knowing that
she deliberately made things hard for Sheryl, Melissa dared not to take a bite since she was worried
she added something on it.
When Sheryl sat down to join them at the dining table, Melissa glared at her.
Sheryl glanced at the dishes out of instinct. "Mom, what happened? Don't you like it?"
Melissa pointed her finger at one of the dishes served and said coldly, "Would you take a bite first?"
Sheryl understood what Melissa meant, so she took a bite without saying a word. She tasted one dish
after another.
Finishing her last bite, Sheryl lifted her head to look at Melissa and asked calmly, "Are we done now?"
"Fine," Melissa replied and started to get food with her chopsticks. But the next second, she spit it out
to the trash can. She moaned. It was so loud that everyone in the room could hear her.
Sheryl smiled coldly. 'So this is your plan, ' she thought. Melissa was starting to play her tricks to
embarrass her now.
"Sheryl, what are you thinking? This is so salty. How am I supposed to eat that? Did you do that on
purpose to torture me? May I remind you that I am still recovering." Melissa's harsh voice echoed in the
entire living room.
But Sheryl just glanced at her. She continued to have dinner, completely ignoring Melissa.
Sheryl's indifference pissed Melissa off.
Melissa tasted another dish. Without even chewing on it, she complained again, "And this is so plain. It
tastes like nothing but water. Sheryl, why are you doing this to me? When Charles gets home, I like to
ask him whether he has seen such an incompetent daughter-in-law like you!" Melissa commented,
stressing on Charles' name.
"Sheryl, Aunt Melissa is your senior, how could you do such thing to her? She only wants a nice dinner.
Why is it too hard for you to satisfy her?" Leila, sitting next to Melissa, crossed her arms in Melissa's
defense. She seemed so angry that she almost pointed her finger at Sheryl to give her a lecture.
