Chapter 3 Fight
I heard their conversation, but I chose to close my eyes and pretend to sleep.
Once we reach the Mason’s Mansion, Uncle Mason and his mother, which is Grandma Mason were already standing at the door, welcoming the future daughter in law to the family
I try to act invisible and wanted to go to my room, this is not my place to be.
My mom pulled my arms and forced me to greet my stepfather and my step-grandma.
“Uncle Mason, Mrs Mason, I‘m home.”
I can‘t call her grandma like how Leo and Lance greet her because she doesn‘t allow me to.
Well, I don‘t want to call her grandma too.
Uncle Mason smiled at me nicely and said: “You had a long trip, go rest with your mom then!”
Then, I followed my mom into my small room.
Mom held my face in her hands and said: “What have you been doing to yourself? Why are you so thin? And why are your eyes so red, did you cry?”
I pulled her hands away and simply made up an excuse. “Who said I cried? I had too much work the past few days and stayed up late a lot. It‘ll get better after some rest. Why
not you let me have some rest alone?”
Mom patted my head, seeing that I have already laid on my bed: “Sleep then, i‘ll wake you for meal later.”
“Mom, don‘t wake me for meal, just say I have motion sickness from the plane. I don‘t feel like eating.”
I really don‘t want to face the Mason‘s family.
“How can this be? Uncle Mason will be upset.”
Mom walked out after saying this, she only cares about Uncle Mason’s feelings ad never asked about my feelings.
I went for dinner anyways.
Uncle Mason seems happy. Well, his second son is going to marry a lady from a nice
Fight family, ad she‘s pregnant, of course he is happy
He spoke to Lance: “Your younger brother is ahead of you, you need to catch up too, you’re already 31.”
Lance chuckled softly and said: “It‘s not easy to find a girl from a nice family background and have mutual feelings.”
I scoffed internally, filling up my mouth with rice.
“Leo, take some dishes for Lia, don‘t just sit there!”
Lance’s voice echoed through the spacious dining room.
“Dear, I want some soup, can you please get it for me?” Lia said softly.
Her words cut deep into my heart.
“Karen, Jennie is not young anymore, right?”
Uncle Mason asked my mom.
My instincts tell me he‘s going to arrange marriage for me.
“Jennie is already 23 this year, she sure is not a kid anymore. I was thinking if you or Mrs Mason can help find her a suitable partner?”
My mom replied softly.
“The son of the vegetable seller is almost the same age as your Jennie, plus they are born in the same status, very matching. I agree it‘s time to marry her off. There are two grown men in the house, a grown woman staying together with them is inappropriate.“my
step-grandma said.
Both she and Lance are the same, they look down on me and my mom.
My mom‘s face turned ugly. She wanted to let Uncle Mason arrange someone nice for me and yet his mother wants me to marry a vegetable seller‘s son.
“Grandma, Karen, Jennie is still young. Plus, it‘s the 21st century now, who likes blind dates? Don‘t worry too much about her.”
Leo took a glimpse at me, helping me.
But I don‘t need his help.
How depressing, he can marry a rich family‘s daughter, yet I can only marry someone of low status.
After dinner, everyone of the family sat in the living room, chit-chatting about Lia and
Me and my mom will always be an outsider here, no matter how long we‘ve been in this household.
I went back to my room in the third floor. There’s a pure black smartphone at the stairs. I picked it up, wondering whose this is. I was about to had it to one of the servants when one of the older maid shouted at me: “Why is master‘s phone in your hands?”
I never expected this pure black phone to be Lance’s. Seems like it must be custom made to be this dark.
“I found it near the stairs, I didn‘t know it was his. Here, give it to him then. Bye.”
The maid took the phone. Lance appeared and demanded coldly: “Throw the sim card away and crush the phone.”
Once again, I laughed sarcastically to myself, does he have to do this? I barely touched the phone.
Haha.
I must be very filthy to him for him to act like this.
I recalled when he asked his assistant to change my seat at the plane further away from his.
When we had dinner just now, I never ate anything that his spoon touched.
I turned around to go upstairs.
Suddenly, he spoke to me again, the third time: “Have you forgotten which stairs you are supposed to use?”
Their mansion is gigantic, there are 2 sides of stairs.
The right side is for the Mason‘s family while the left side is for servants.
He’s being way too obvious that he hates me. He should tattoo on his face ‘I hate Jennie Gomez‘.
I stayed at my school’s hostel when I was in middle and high school. I tried not to come back home to avoid seeing him. After a long time, I finally realized that I should not see myself as one of the family here.
Today, he reminds me once again that i‘m even lower than a servant.
I walked towards him, looking at him straight in the eye for the first time in 10 years and said: “Oops sorry, master, I forgot.”

Chapter 3 Fight
This was my first sentence to him in 10 years.
“Now you know. Hmph!” He scoffed and walked away.
I go down the stairs and use another side.
“LEO! Are you alright?” Lance asked with concern.
Mrs Mason noticed her grandson getting injured and slapped me hard across the face. “Useless!”
I looked at him with surprise. How does he know?
you.”
successfully made my father like you, now you‘re trying to make me like you? You‘re just a free nanny to this family, don‘t even think about being the lady of the house.”
