Linda’s expression changed slightly. “You’re going to cook? What happened to our servants?’
Rose was stupefied.
The house had been sold, and they didn’t have any money. How could they afford to hire servants?
She said indifferently while she washed her hands, “You shouldn’t see any outsiders with your condition. Otherwise, they might discover your flaws and look for ways to hurt you. No one around us is reliable anymore. Do you really dare to trust anyone?”
Linda furrowed her brows. She felt that what her mother said made sense, so she didn’t say anything in the end. She walked to the couch in the living room and sat down before turning on the television, but she was restless for some reason. “The couch and the television are too close to each other, aren’t they?”
Rose could hear the agitation in Linda’s voice. Still, nothing could be done in their present situation, so she pretended she didn’t hear anything and ignored Linda.
…
The sky darkened. Elisa and Rachel returned to their respective rooms after finishing their meals.
It was a risky area, and it was getting late. It wasn’t safe to go out.
Elisa went into the suite and saw Gareth sitting on the couch with a cloudy expression. She didn’t want to talk to him, so she changed her shoes and walked to her room.
Gareth looked at her coldly. “Where did you go?”
“Downstairs to eat with Rachel,” Elisa replied indifferently.
Gareth continued looking at her icily. “Do you treat me as a fool?”
Elisa was flabbergasted.
What she said was the truth. Does Gareth think that she’s deceiving him?
“It’s up to you to believe me.” Elisa returned to her room after that.
But…
Elisa didn’t know that Gareth had been waiting to eat with her.
Gareth stayed seated on the couch with a dark expression. His cell phone rang, and it was a call from Thomas. He answered the call and said, “No preparations needed.”
He hung up after that.
On the other end, Thomas seemed to have understood something. He had seen Elisa and Rachel together when he was downstairs.
