She leaned on a cane, her back slightly stooped, and she walked with difficulty.
The woman looked at him with a kind expression. "Mr. Coleman, my name is Eloise. I was your mother Nora's housekeeper back in the day.
I was the one who personally looked after you and Mr. Israel when you were boys."
At the mention of Nora's name, Coleman stopped in his tracks.
"You used to work for the Williams family?"
Eloise nodded, reminiscing, "Back then, I desperately needed money, so I went to interview as a servant for a wealthy family.
Someone like me, with no work experience, should have been eliminated in the first round. But I lied. I claimed I had ten years of experience.
Later, during the cooking test, I was exposed and thrown out.
But I needed that money so badly that I knelt at the gate, begging and pleading.
Mrs. Williams happened to be returning from outside just then. After hearing my story, she made an exception and let me stay."
A look of sincere gratitude appeared on Eloise's face as she spoke.
"She was such a kind person."
Coleman couldn't help but scoff.
He said mockingly, "Kind? If she were truly kind, would she have abandoned her own children and left by herself?
Israel and I were so young. She didn't show the slightest hesitation or reluctance.
She was a heartless woman!"
Eloise looked at Coleman with a complex expression. "Mr. Coleman, I was by your mother's side for so many years, and I've never met anyone more gentle or kind than her.
She had her reasons for leaving back then.
I can assure you, no one loved you two more than she did.

Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
