Her Second Marriage, Being Mr. Moore's New Wife novel Chapter 42

Charlotte rushed out of the room without her shoes on and found the maid. “Hello.”

In the face of the maid, Charlotte had always been cowardly, because she knew the maids looked down on her, and she did not know whether she could have the button back.

Had been ready to be scolded by the maid, Charlotte, did not expect that the maid, after seeing her, changed her face, stepped back, and then respectfully called her, “Missus.”

Charlotte was stunned for a moment. What was going on?

“Missus, what can I do for you?”

Charlotte paused and then nodded. Although she did not what was going on, at present it was not the most important, but to have the button back.

Thinking of this, Charlotte asked, “You cleaned the room just now. Have you found a button?”

Hearing this, the maid responded, “Are you looking for the golden button? I thought it was Mr. Kennedy’s.”

“No!” Charlotte replied, “That's mine. Where's the button?”

“Er...” The maid slightly changed her face and said , “Sorry, Missus, I thought it is Mr. Kennedy’s, so... I let Lydia ask for me.”

Her heart almost jumped out of her throat. Her face became blue. “Mr. Kennedy has not come back. Where are you going to find him?”

“Well, because I am going to get off work soon and Lydia will be on duty at night, so gave the button to her and she will ask him when he comes back. Missus, since the button is yours, I will take it back.”

Charlotte was vexed. She was worried that Lydia the maid would go to Kennedy with the button, so she decided to go to her personally.

“No need, tell me where Lydia is, I will personally go to her.”

The maid, seeing that her face was grave, said cautiously, “I'll take you to her, Missus.”

“Ok.”

Under the guidance of the maid, Charlotte learned that Lydia went out unexpectedly.

Hearing that Lydia went out, Charlotte's face became uglier than ever. The maid was so frightened that she began to shiver and say, “Missus, I'm really sorry! I don't know that button is yours. If I knew it is yours, I would certainly give it back to you instead of giving it to Lydia!”

“You passed me by. I am his wife, but you did not give me the button, but to...” Charlotte was angry, because the maid had passed by her and knew she lived there. Couldn't she just give her the button?

Charlotte could not help getting angry.

“Missus, that's a man's button, and... It was found under Mr. Kennedy's bed, and subconsciously I thought it was Mr. Kennedy's.”

Charlotte's eyelids fluttered. Yes, she had almost forgotten that it was a man's button, and her nervousness would make people suspicious. Thinking of this, Charlotte suppressed the emotion in her heart and whispered, “That is the button of the suit I bought for my father. It is very important to me. Could you please help me contact Lydia to get it back?”

The maid nodded, “Yes, Missus, I will do it at once.”

Then she went to make a phone call, leaving Charlotte standing where she was.

She was still worried, but she dared not show it.

Two minutes later, the maid answered, “Lydia has gone out to do some shopping. Missus, you can go back to room first. She will come back in about an hour. She will send it back to you later.”

An hour? No! Kennedy would be back in an hour. If Lydia sent it back, Kennedy would found it out. Charlotte thought for a moment and asked softly, “Does she have the button with her?”
