Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 564

Chapter 564 Don’t You Dare Tell Your Papa!

Layla was taken aback for a moment and did not answer. Is Elise trying to get on my good side?

“Huh? What are you doing?” Quentin was anxious. “We have our own hands and feet, plus there are servants in the house too. How can we let you do this kind of thing? That basin must be heavy. Put it down quickly! Don’t hurt your hands!”

While speaking, he walked over and helped Elise put the basin on the floor.

Elise didn’t know if she should laugh or cry at his reaction. “You’re overexaggerating if you think I can’t even lift a basin. You’re really treating me like a princess.”

“You’re more precious than a princess,” Quentin said angrily.

Layla didn’t want to put Elise on the spot at first, but when she saw them being so close, her expression immediately darkened. She deliberately walked loudly in her slippers and sat down on the sofa, saying in a prideful voice, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”

“You old woman, are you out of your mind?” Quentin went over to pull her. “We’re going to sleep already. Why are you soaking your feet? Get up and go to bed quickly.”

Layla shook him away and settled down again, replying impatiently, “A woman’s business has nothing to do with you. Besides, Elise wanted to do this. If I don’t appreciate her efforts, I’d be a horrible person! Stop making trouble and trying to drive a wedge between us!”

“What kind of logic is that…” Quentin finally understood how unreasonable women could be.

Of course, it was impossible to live to this age without experiencing these things. However, he didn’t need to pay attention to those women in the past, but now one of them was his wife and the other was his goddaughter. He was caught in between a rock and a hard place, and it made his head hurt.

“It’s fine, Papa. Mama is right; there are bound to be some little secrets between women. You should go to the bedroom and rest,” Elise persuaded him.

When she said that, Quentin couldn’t really stay around anymore. “All right, then. Call me if you need anything.”

After a long and thoughtful reminder, Quentin stepped back into the bedroom.

Seeing his figure disappear behind the door, Elise took out the basin again and walked to Layla, where she squatted down and put Layla’s feet in the warm water for her.

As Layla looked down from above, watching Elise calmly cup some water in her hand and pour it on her ankle before rubbing it patiently and gently, she felt her cold heart gradually soften.

Still, she was stubborn and asked vindictively, “Were you this respectful to your papa before?”

“Not particularly,” Elise said nonchalantly. “I don’t have to do that for Papa. You saw it earlier too. He wouldn’t let me wash his feet.”

“That means that you’re deliberately trying to butter me up.” Layla’s expression turned cold. “Anyway, since there are only the two of us here, and Quentin can’t hear me, I’ll just give it to you straight. I don’t like you, and I don’t like you approaching my husband’s daughter even more.”

“All right, I understand. I’ll try hard not to disturb Papa and Joey in the future,” Elise said pleasantly.

Her easygoingness made Layla look narrow-minded instead, and she suddenly couldn’t find the words to answer.

A long pause later, she finally managed to squeeze out a sentence. “That’s what you say, but in reality, you’re always making Quentin and Joey happy, and they can’t stop thinking about you.”

“If that’s the case, I have to thank you for telling me this.” Elise suddenly smiled. “I was abandoned by my parents when I was very young. My grandparents found me later and raised me, but I rarely had the experience of getting along with my parents and sisters. Papa is good to me and treats me as his own daughter, and Joey also likes me as if I were a part of her family. I’m truly grateful for all these, and I never thought about asking for more.”
