She wasn't like regular people who had experience in socializing. Ever since she was a child, she had served the Fernandez family and Yuliana. She knew nothing about the outside world and wouldn't be able to find a regular job like others could.
It was the next day.
While Zorion and Yuliana were having breakfast that morning, Zorion suddenly said, "Ruth, I want to drink some juice."
Yuliana quietly placed her chopsticks down.
She then stared at Zorion.
Zorion then realized something and quickly closed his mouth.
He tightly shut his mouth.
Since Ruth had left, she would never pour juice for him ever again.
Yuliana stood up. She then poured out a glass of juice for Zorion and handed it to him. "Here, Zorion, have some juice."
Zorion took the glass.
He then said, "Thank you, honey."
Zorion then drank his juice.
The juice was still the same as always.
But Zorion felt that it didn't taste as good as before.
"Zorion, you are still thinking about Ruth?" Yuliana stared at Zorion gloomily.
Zorion didn't say anything.
He seemed to be thinking about something else.
After some time, Zorion said, "Honey, I still don't think that Ruth is a bad person."
The gloom in Yuliana's eyes grew heavier.
This felt strange.
She didn't love Zorion.
She had no feelings for Zorion at all and had even wanted to kill him from the very beginning.
But now, Yuliana felt very uncomfortable because Zorion was missing someone else.
This was because Zorion had always revered her like a goddess, and she had been all he would think about. But now, another woman occupied Zorion's heart. Yuliana was especially upset because that woman was a lowly maid.
Ruth no longer posed a threat to her since she had been kicked out of the Quartley Palace.
But Yuliana felt like she wanted to rip Ruth out from Zorion's heart.
She wouldn't allow her to occupy even one iota of Zorion's heart.
Zorion should only have Yuliana in his heart.
Yuliana should be Zorion's one and only goddess.
Zorion should kneel down before her and lick her feet like a dog for the rest of his life.
Yuliana rolled her eyes and then said, "Ruth had been kicked out from the Quartley family. Do you know what she's doing now?"
"What? What is she doing now?" Zorion asked in wonder.
From the way Zorion reacted, it was obvious that he cared a lot about Ruth.
Yuliana replied, "She's a whore."
Zorion was stunned.
Although he was mentally challenged, he knew what a whore was.
A woman who did shameless things.
Women who were whores were the most despicable and dishonorable people out there.
That was Zorion's impression.
"Impossible! Ruth would never do such a thing!"
Zorion refuted.
"Zorion, would I lie to you?" Yuliana said, "One of Ruth's friends who also works here at the Quartley Palace told me about it. If you don't believe me, I'll get her to tell you."
"Tell her to come here right now," Zorion said urgently.
