The Legendary Man Novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Slandered By Emmeline

The person who opened the door for them was Margaret Saunders, Emmeline’s mother.

Jonathan’s impression of his mother-in-law was that she was extremely coarse, mean, and petty. Since he married into the Smith family, she had never liked him and took pleasure in humiliating him or making him run errands.

The list of errands he had to do was endless, including replacing faulty lightbulbs, cleaning the dishes, vacuuming the floor, fixing the toilet, and even washing Margaret’s undergarments because she was too lazy to do it herself.

Even so, she was still displeased with Jonathan. Often, she would urge Josephine to get a divorce so that the latter could get married to a wealthy man.

“Mom!” Jonathan greeted her.

Regardless of how much he hated Margaret, he had to endure her as long as he was still married to Josephine.

“I’m not your mom!” Margaret responded sharply. “You went missing for three years without informing us. What do you think we are, huh? A hotel that you can come and go as you please?”

“Mom, I’ve been—”

Before Jonathan could explain what had happened to him in the past three years, she cut him off. “Enough, stop making up excuses. I’m not interested in knowing how you have been doing. In fact, I’d rather see you die, for there’s no point for you to exist except taking up space and wasting food.”
