The housekeeper looked at her appearance and shook his head after looking at her carefully for a while, "I don't even know if I'm happy here, or if I should feel ashamed."
Elena bowed her head and ate slowly, half-heartedly before speaking again, "Mr. Butler, I heard you mention Joanna earlier, can you tell me about her? I'd like to hear."
"Joanna?" the latter froze.
Elena nodded, "Yes, Joanna, I know almost nothing about her, so wanted to know about her."
"This, this can't be ......" The housekeeper's original expression instantly tensed up.
"Why can't I? That's my mother's business, and I can't even if I want to know?"
"Elena, don't give me a hard time, I really don't know much, besides, you also know that Mr. Ford always doesn't like outsiders to mention Miss Joanna, if he heard it, I'm afraid he wouldn't be happy ......"
The housekeeper had a difficult look on his face and was even more overwhelmed by her words.
Elena put down her chopsticks and slowly wiped the corner of her mouth and laughed, "It's just you and me here, if I don't say anything, no one will know."
"That can't be either!" The butler denied extremely quickly, "It's a forbidden word, and anyone who enters the Fords bears this unwritten rule in mind."
"How do you know there's no talk about it?" Elena asked rhetorically.
The butler was asked for a moment, and then reacted only to kindly laugh, "That is also someone else's business, and did not reach my ears, I can not go to blame, but I am at least the Fords' butler, I can not knowingly violate the law."
"Even if it's not me?" Elena looked at him, her gaze tinged with expectation.
The housekeeper was inexplicably a bit vain, and after a moment's hesitation he nodded in the end, "I'm sorry, Elena, I can't help you."
Elena immediately understood and withdrew her gaze without moving, "In that case, then I understand."
The housekeeper secretly sent a sigh of relief, "Elena always understands things, so it is naturally best if you can understand."
"Hmm." She nodded, "If you don't want to talk about it, I can always go to Edward, and I think he'll probably tell me truthfully if it's my will."
"Elena!"
The butler was nervous again, the fine sweat on his forehead kept coming out, he kept raising his hand to wipe it, and his face was full of anxiety, "You, listen to me first, Mr. Ford just doesn't want others to mention it so he ordered not to let anyone talk about it, if you ask, I'm afraid... ...afraid he will be upset ......"
"How do you know if you don't ask?" She had an innocent look on her face, "Besides, if the next person talks to him about it he might get angry, but I'm Joanna's daughter, maybe ...... he'll be open to me?"
The butler smiled, "Elena was right, you are not only Miss Joanna's daughter, but also Mr. Ford's daughter."
"The name is not right, what is the father?" She acted very indifferent to this, and did not approve of his words.
The housekeeper became more and more embarrassed, but also can not help but worry, a heart hanging in mid-air constantly discouraged, "Elena, no matter what, you just listen to my advice, the more you know, it is not a good thing for you."
"Elena, when you're done eating, go out and walk around more, it's also considered digestion and exercise." The housekeeper suggested as she cleared the table.
Elena snorted coldly, "What's the point of going out? Going out is no different than staying in the room, besides, if something else happens, I can't guarantee that my life will remain unharmed."
An unforgiving remark made the housekeeper freeze for a moment, "Is Elena blaming Adele, or Mr. Ford?"
"Neither." She smiled to herself, "If I really want to blame, then I can only blame myself, in the end, it's all because I'm too powerless to do anything about it myself, that's why I've become like this ......"
"Elena ......"
"Well." She quickly withdrew her mind to keep him from seeing something, "Mr. Butler, if you really pity me, talk to me more when you have free time, and talk about something I don't know, so that I can also have a thought and something to hold on to."
The housekeeper was flattered, "If Elena doesn't mind, I'll definitely come and keep Elena company more often."
"If that's the case, it's better than ever." She smiled, the joy on her small face impossible to conceal.
"Then I will go down first, Elena can directly instruct Adele if there is anything, I will come back later to accompany you to relieve your boredom after seeing a round of the main house nothing more." The butler carried the dinner plate, half bowed and slowly retreated.
Elena looked at the departing figure, her eyes had inadvertently overflowed with a touch of disappointment.
In the end, she still couldn't get anything out of the butler's mouth, and he even raised his guard against himself!
