Chapter 508 Didn’t Leave
When Anna heard what Queenie said, she couldn’t help but get angry. She sent Queenie a cold glare and said in a low voice, “You are an adult, so how can you not know when to keep quiet?”
Queenie changed her expression, then instantly realized Anna was mad because she had said that Hayden was stupid.
She clenched her fists. She couldn’t understand why the Gardners would favor a stupid child so much!
However, now was not the time to be fussy. Queenie curved her lips and apologized, “S-Sorry, I should’ve watched my mouth.”
Earlier on, Queenie had intended to remind Anna that this child was a lost case, and if Anna wanted an obedient grandchild, she could only put her hopes on the child in Queenie’s belly.
Sadly, Anna was very protective of her own family, so she couldn’t tolerate a single bad word about Hayden.
Anna glanced at Queenie, then averted her gaze to look at Hayden’s face.
Hayden hadn’t fallen asleep, but he didn’t make a fuss as he lay quietly against Colton’s shoulder.
Anna couldn’t help but recall when she first interacted with Hayden. This little child was extremely adorable back then, and he would totter behind her and keep calling her ‘Grandma’.
Colton had been cool and distant even from a young age. He wasn’t likable even as a child, and he would just call her ‘Mom’ indifferently whenever he saw her.
She caressed Hayden’s head lovingly. “Hayden must be tired now. Take him upstairs to rest.”
With that, she turned around and looked at Queenie.
“Also, don’t come near my grandson ever again. If you do anything to him, I won’t forgive you.”
Queenie watched as Colton turned around and went up the stairs, hastily explaining, “Mrs. Gardner, it really wasn’t me. This child is now out of his mind, and he doesn’t know anything. No one knows when he’d suddenly act up and get himself hurt.”
When she heard Queenie say again that Hayden was stupid, Anna’s expression darkened completely. She was extremely dissatisfied as she glared at Queenie and reprimanded, “Enough! Why do you keep insisting that he’s stupid? What are you plotting?”
Queenie went pale in the face as she hastily shook her head and said, “No, Mrs. Gardner, please don’t misunderstand. I am now Colton’s wife, so I have no need to do those things. Moreover, I’m even pregnant with—”
Anna slightly closed her eyes, waving her hand a little tiredly.
“Never mind, I’m not concerning myself with you and Colton. However, you shall not enter the Gardner Residence ever again. I don’t like you.”
Faced with such obvious disdain from Anna, Queenie had an extremely foul expression on her face.
She clenched her fists, but she felt fortunate that Anna hadn’t suspected her.
Now that Hayden had gone stupid and Colton was about to marry her, Nicole posed no threat to her at all.
Queenie relaxed. After all this hassle, she would be married to Colton in less than five days. She had to keep her calm.
“Mrs. Gardner, since you don’t like me, I’ll take my leave now.”
Queenie lowered her gaze and was about to leave as soon as she finished speaking. However, before she could leave, Anna suddenly called out and halted her.
“By the way, you were in the Gardner Residence yesterday as well. Did you go up to the rooms on the second floor?”
Faced with Anna’s query, Queenie was so startled that she broke out in cold sweat. However, she managed to keep her calm and hid all traces of panic.
Queenie shook her head.
“No, I only wanted to wait in the Gardner Residence for Colton’s return. I was downstairs all the time, and I left after dinner. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the security guards at the entrance.”
Anna looked at Queenie suspiciously, but in the end, she didn’t say anything. She simply gave a nonchalant response and left.
Queenie discreetly let out a relieved sigh, glad that she wasn’t found out.
