He Hid To See How His Fiancée Treated His Elderly Mother... But The Jewish Maid Surprised Him…

He hid to see how his fianceé treats his elderly mother, but the Jewish cleaning lady surprised him. And when Marcus Chen opened that broom closet door at 7:15 in the morning, his heart almost exploded in his chest. He didn't expect to see that, not in such a brutal way, with his 73-year-old mother kneeling on the cold kitchen floor cleaning up spilled coffee while tears silently streamed down her wrinkled face. You're completely useless. Vanessa's voice cut through the air like a sharp blade. Look at this mess. My mother was right about you. You incompetent old woman. Marcus felt every muscle in his body lock up. He had returned early from his business trip to Seattle just to surprise her. 3 months ago, Vanessa had moved into his house in Portland, and he wanted to arrive before the agreed time to prepare a special breakfast. But when he walked in the back door, he heard those screams coming from the kitchen. His instinct was to run, to defend his mother. But something made him stop. Something made him hide. Now, through the narrow crack in the cabinet door, Marcus watched the woman he planned to marry in 2 months transformed into someone unrecognizable. Vanessa was impeccable in her blue silk robe, her blonde hair perfectly styled even at that early hour, as she pointed her finger at Dorothy Chen as if she were less than nothing. "Get up now. Do you think I have all day? " Dorothy leaned on the counter with difficulty. Her arthritic hands trembled visibly, and Marcus noticed how she tried to hide the pain in her right knee, the one she had operated on 6 months ago. His mother had always been a strong and proud woman who raised Marcus alone after their father died when he was only 8 years old. Seeing her like this, diminished, humiliated in her own home made something inside him break. I'm sorry, dear, Dorothy murmured, her voice breaking. I was just trying to make coffee for when you woke up.
