Amy declined. She felt that only the elder like Cathy needed tonics and she was quite young and strong.
"Why not? With the tonics, you can get healthier and be prepared to get pregnant. I'm looking forward to be a grandmother!" Cathy explained her purpose.
Amy blushed. She would divorce Richard soon and she never wanted to be a single mother.
However, she could not tell Cathy this. It was stipulated in the contract between Richard and her that they could not tell their family members.
"Thank you, then I'll take these tonics." Amy thought for a moment and decided to receive these first. Otherwise, Cathy wouldn’t stop nagging.
"That's good! Amy, are you comfortable living here? If not, you can live with me in the Carter’s house. We have more servants and certainly take better care of you." Cathy really wanted Amy to live with her as she was bored at home. Although she had two sons, they weren’t very close since she was not their biological mother. She really wanted someone to talk to her.
"No, I'm fine here. Thank you, Auntie." Unconsciously, Amy called Cathy Auntie again.
"Call me Mom. How can you forget? It's okay to stay here if you want. I just hope that Richard and you can have a child soon so that I can help out and get busy. I'll really bored now." Cathy was living a dull life every day, only cooking, shopping, hairdressing and so on.
Hearing Cathy's words, Amy blushed again. Cathy was really good to her and treated her as family. She also wanted to be part of the Carter family, but she could not. The contract would expire in a year. If she were involved too emotionally, she would be sadder when she was supposed to leave.
"Amy, let's go and do facial care. I have bought too many spa treatments and cannot use them all by myself. Can you go with me?" Cathy liked Amy too much. She was so beautiful and tender. In Cathy's eyes, she was perfect in every way.
Seeing Cathy's eager eyes, Amy surrendered and decided to put off her translation work.
"Yes, I will go with you after I change my clothes. Mom." Amy changed her clothes and went to the beauty salon with Cathy.
Once they arrived in the beauty salon, Cathy held Amy's hand all the way and was greeted by many rich ladies. She replied while introducing Amy to those people.
"This is Amy, my daughter-in-law. Isn't she beautiful?" She had said the same words for many times and did not get bored.
However, Amy was embarrassed. Those people gave her meaningful looks. Most of them looked down on her as if she were the social climber.
Cathy and Amy went to the VIP lounge and all things were set ready.
Two beauticians came up and welcomed them warmly.
"Mrs. Carter, you are here too?" Someone was greeting Cathy. But her face looked too greasy to be recognized.
"Mrs. Carter, I'm Allison." Allison smiled sweetly.
"Hello, Allison. You are here too. Where's your mother?" Cathy didn’t like Allison. She just pretended to be friendly as they were all from well-known families.
