Not everyone in the Browns was happy with the news that Elena was having a baby. George was definitely delighted while Jacqueline and Yolanda were agitated.
George was not allowed to visit Elena, so he asked servants to send many gifts to Elena, including healthy food.
Jacqueline was so jealous since George treated Elena as a princess now. She was complaining all the time to Cornel, “George is so exaggerated! She is pregnant at the moment, not really giving birth to a baby! And now she is like a queen in the Browns!”
Cornel didn’t want to get scolded by George anymore. He stared at her sharply, “Shut your damn mouth!”
Jacqueline grumbled, “Am I wrong?! George is so partial! He never values us! He only values Logan but Yolanda is his grandchild, too!”
Before she could speak more, Cornel left without hesitation. He was so fed up with her complaint.
His indifference and silence exasperated her. Yolanda patted her back to soothe her, “Mom, stop talking about this with dad. It doesn’t help! I am afraid he will take out on you what he suffered from Grandpa !”
Speaking of her useless husband, Jacqueline said in disdain, “Your father is a coward! Loser! He has accomplished nothing till now! At that rate, he will end up inheriting less than a dime from George!”
“Enough, mom!” Yolanda continued soothing her, “I don’t know what you are afraid of. Why not meet Elena and see what is going on by yourself?”
Jacqueline’s eyes lit up, “You are right, sweetie! Let’s go!”
“What?!” She just gave her advice. She didn’t get fully prepared. But she was pulled up by Jacqueline at once. “Now, get dressed. I should make soup for her. As a gift.”
Jacqueline went to the kitchen and decided to make chicken soup by herself. She didn’t allow a maid to help her, and she even pushed the maid out of the kitchen, yelling, “I will do it myself. Get out!”
“I am afraid you will get burnt…”
“Shut up! Get out!” The maid had no choice but to leave the kitchen.
It seemed that she was so kind to make soup for Elena. She washed the chicken, putting it into the pot. And she put some unknown ingredients into the pot too! It took her nearly two hours to make the soup. Then she specifically took away the ingredients from the soup and poured the soup into a big bowl.
Yolanda couldn’t figure out why her mother was so kind to Elena today.
Jacqueline asked her, “Sweetie, why don't you wear some perfume!??”
Then she took out a bottle of perfume and sprayed it on Yolanda’s ears and neck. Yolanda liked this smell, so she didn’t mind.
Jacqueline kept telling her all the way, “Remember! If possible, keep quiet before them.”
“Alright!” Yolanda nodded obediently. Jacqueline smiled.
Elena was stunned by their sudden visit. Before she could say something, Jacqueline and Yolanda had entered and walked into the living room, yelling in a friendly tone, “Oh, no! Why do you open the door yourself!? Where are the maids!?”
“Mia asked for a leave. She’ll be back next week.”
“Oh, look at you! No wonder you look thinner than before! You are not eating properly!” She showed her the soup, “Yolanda, go and get some bowls.”
Jacqueline poured the soup into the bowls and said with a fake smile, “You are pregnant now. You should take care of yourself. Healthy food is very crucial!”
