MARRIED TO MY CUTE WIFE

Letting Go of Arrogance

Sarah said directly, “dominic, don’t leave with aria. Help me discipline Dennis!”

Hearing this, Aria straightened her back. What? Not letting her leave? “No, sister-in-law, my husband has already bought our new house. We have to leave now.” After saying this, Aria naively held Dominic’s hand. She did not want him to meddle in the family’s affairs so that she could quickly move.

Dominic did not move at all, remaining seated on the sofa. He allowed the young woman to hold his big palm. No one knew what he was thinking.

Everyone in the Cross family knew that the person with the strongest desire to move away was Aria. The reason she wanted to move away was that she did not get along with Sarah. And now, everyone in the family wanted Dominic to stay because Dominic was Dennis’s nemesis. With him around, Dennis would not be able to cause trouble.

If this was in the past, Dennis would have jumped three feet in the air upon hearing that his uncle would be disciplining him. Today, he was unusually quiet, as if this was his ultimate goal.

In order to make Dominic and Aria stay, Sarah even suggested to Aria Cross, “Aria, can I speak with you alone?”

Aria refused her request without thinking. She stopped tugging at Dominic’s hand and instead sat beside him, hugging his arm. “No, just say what you want to say. If there’s a misunderstanding, my husband can still explain it to me.”

Dominic had a smile on his face today. He was very satisfied with his new title.

Sarah knew that this was Aria being sarcastic. She had indeed done something wrong, “aria, stay at home with Dominic! Help me discipline Dennis. What happened between us was my fault. I apologize to you. From now on, we’ll get along well.” As soon as she finished saying that, the entire living room fell into silence. Everyone’s breathing became softer as well.

Aria was completely dumbfounded. Sarah was such an arrogant person, and now she was apologizing to her?

Dominic had already weighed the pros and cons in his heart. His Adam’s apple bobbed. “Sister-in-law, what about my in-laws?”

Fortunately for her husband’s reminder, Aria’s eyes gradually regained their focus. She looked at Sarah with determined eyes, waiting for her reply.

Sarah swallowed. After thinking for a moment, she replied, “I will personally go to them and apologize.” Some parents would do everything to create a good learning environment for their children. Some people were willing to do anything for their children. Sarah was also a mother. For her son, she was willing to lower her pride to apologize to her sister-in-law and her family.

......

Whether it was Dennis breaking the blue and white porcelain vase, stealing her pearls, or accidentally breaking her husband’s cup, these minor matters did not matter to her. The major issue was that Dennis was short of money. As the only child of the Cross family, he naturally had access to the family’s expenses. His monthly allowance was also in the hundreds of thousands or millions. Buying a car or a house could be done through the company’s account, so he would not need to spend his own money at all.

But Cross was still short of money. Why? Sarah had a terrifying thought. Perhaps, her son had a gambling addiction and had fallen into a high-interest loan. He could not afford to pay back the loan, so this was the only way. Thinking of this, Sarah was scared out of her wits. Someone had to take good care of Dennis. In the Cross family, apart from Dominic, no one had any hope of changing him.

Sarah was willing to sacrifice her pride to keep the couple under this roof for the sake of her son’s future. She was also willing to put down her pride and apologize for her previous mistakes. She had changed so much. If Aria refused again, it would seem that she was being unreasonable.

Aria did not know what to do. She could only look at her husband, hoping that he would give her an idea.

Dominic took the opportunity to coax his wife. “Now that the conflict between you and sister-in-law has been resolved, and sister-in-law is willing to apologize to mom and dad, why don’t we just stay at home?”

Aria frowned slightly. She grabbed Dominic’s arm. “But I still want to leave.”

“Now, there is someone of your age to play with you. There are also servants who will take care of your meals three times a day. It’s also more convenient to have a chauffeur. If we move out, you’ll be the only one at home when I go on business trips.” Dominic paused. He saw that Aria was a little moved, so he continued to focus on the things she cared about the most. “Besides, if we move out, mom and dad will be worried that you’re having a bad time in the Cross family. They know very well that you’re a person who likes to report good news but doesn’t report bad news. They will definitely be careful and make wild guesses.”

Old Master Cross also said something to persuade her to stay. “If you don’t want to live with us in the front yard, there’s an empty loft in the backyard. You and Dominic can move in there.”

Now that everyone was persuading her to stay, Aria’s determination to move out wavered.

Dominic backpedaled, hoping to persuade his wife. “We can stay at home for a while. When we get bored, we can move out, okay?”
