41 Never Forcing Others
Allie smiled and quickly took a cup of tea to the sofa, “Dad, have some tea.”
Allie’s father was reading newspaper on the sofa. He put it down and looked at Allie lovingly, “It’s too late. You should wash up and go to sleep. Girls can’t stay up too late.”
“OK.” Allie nodded sweetly, “I know, dad. You should also take care of yourself.”
“By the way,” her father took a sip of tea and looked up and asked, “you said you had seen your sister in the shopping mall last time. Do you know where she lives now?”
The smile on Allie’s face froze. She tried to repress her displeasure, “How should I know? I wanted to talk more, but she seemed to be busy and wasn’t willing to talk to me. If I hadn’t met her in the shopping mall, we would not know that she has already come back.”
Her father sighed, “Well, we shouldn’t let her live alone. If you’re not busy, I want you to inquire where she lives. I want to have a look. I think I’d better persuade her to live with us. Otherwise, I’ll worry about her.”
Frowning, Allie was about to say something when she heard a cough behind her.
Sherley winked at her and walked to them with a big smile, “You’re right. It’s not safe for a single woman to live alone. I’ll have someone inquire about it. Birmingham isn’t a big city. It’ll be easy to find her.”
“OK.” Allie’s father picked up the paper.
After going back to the bedroom, Allie sat on her bed, livid with rage, “Mom, why did you promise to dad that you will find her back? It was the same last time when I told you ! saw that b***h and you told father afterwards. Why do you keep getting us in trouble?”
Shirley locked the door calmly and said slowly, “Whether you tell your father or not, she will come back. It’s impossible that she won’t come to this house. We’d better take the initiative to tell it to your father rather than let her take us by surprise and come back by herself. In this way, your father will think that we are thoughtful and kind.”
“Is that useful? Dad will reconsider about the heiress if she comes back.”
On hearing the words, Shirley frowned, with an ugly look on her face, and snorted, “If I had been lucky enough to have a son, I wouldn’t have let him choose between you and that girl. Fortunately, it’s not a big problem now. What could she have achieved having fooled around for so many years? As long as you can marry a good man, you’ll be the only choice of the heir of the group.”
Allie was mollified by her mother’s words. She said proudly, “Of course. I bet she has only hooked up with some guy during the time she was away. Maybe she didn’t dare to come back because she feels ashamed.”

Gabe, standing aside, goggled at them. This isn‘t the first time. The relationship between Mr. Wright and Ms. Gabriel is really interesting. Why does she care about Matthew and make food for him? Why does Mr. Wright allow her to do so?
“Oh, and this.” Anna gave him a notebook the size of a hand. “These are the ingredients needed and the detailed instructions of making soup. You can show it to your cook. I may not have time to cook for Matthew lately. I have to work out the project plan. I’m really sorry.”
