Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21

Buying groceries?

Uncle Wallace did not quite believe that happened.

Olivia was the darling daughter of the Larson Family, so she had never stepped foot inside the kitchen. Even after she married John, she did not even do the laundry once. So, why should she go out for groceries while the foster daughter sits at home?

In fact, he called Ms. Larson, but nobody picked up.

He always felt that Dorothy had some bad intentions, but he could not speak up because of his position.

Thus, he did not question her directly. Instead, he chose

to observe her.

“Are you here as a guest, Ms. Ellis?”

Dorothy pointed to her chest and said, “I’m hurt, so Olivia told me to come here for some peace.”

After that, she grinned and poured Uncle Wallace a glass of water. “Olivia also mentioned that you were coming, so she wanted you to have a taste of her cooking. That’s why she went out for groceries.”

Uncle Wallace did not completely believe her. He swirled the glass and smiled. “Ms. Larson is a very nice person.

She treats this old man well too.”

“That’s right. Olivia has always been like that.”

Dorothy looked at the box and pretended to ask casually, What’s in that box, Uncle Wallace?”

“Oh, I mean to give it to Ms. Larson. Nothing of value, really.”

Dorothy was a little paranoid about it. The box looked like it belonged to the Larson Family.

A parcel that the Larson Family’s housekeeper brought all the way here must be something special. It was either money or evidence.

She surmised that it might be evidence.

In the past, she was the Larson Family’s foster daughter. Besides, she has done a few bad things to the Larson Family, so she might have left a piece of evidence or two around.

The most important thing was, it has been two years but she could not find the will of Hans Larson, the head of the Larson Family.

That alone made her quite unhappy already.

Thus, she stood up and reached for the box. “In that case, I’ll put this aside for Olivia, then.”
