Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 467

She let out a sweet and magnanimous smile and said, “I visited the old madam yesterday and heard that my sister-in-law is pregnant so I came by. Huh? Where’s Sister-in-law?”

Gideon’s eyes softened at the mention of Nell. He softly replied, “She’s upstairs. She’ll be down later.”

“Oh, can I go up to look for her then?”

Gideon’s gaze paused on her pretty and innocent face. In the end, he refused.

“There’s no need for that. She doesn’t like outsiders going up there.”

The room fell silent at these words.

Outsiders...

This word locked her outside the door, leaving the scene rather awkward.

Yet, he seemed to be ignorant of that fact. The smile on Helen’s face froze and it took a while before she could realign her emotions.

“Okay, I’ll wait for her here.”

Without answering, Gideon turned to instruct the maids to prepare lunch. He then left Helen to help herself before taking off himself.

About ten minutes later, Nell came down the stairs after a change of wardrobe.

“Sister-in-law,” Helen got up from the sofa and greeted her with a smile.

To be honest, Nell was not at all close with this distant cousin.

However, she was a guest after all. Nell returned a nod and smile. “I’m sorry to keep you waiting.”

“No, I should’ve let you know beforehand. Sister-in-law, I hope I didn’t intrude.”

Nell shook her head. “No. I’m happy to have you here.”

With a straight face, she turned to enquire Gideon’s whereabouts from Aunt Joyce and was taken aback when she found out that he went to the gym room in the villa.

Nevertheless, she quickly came to grips with the situation. He could not possibly be working out due to his injury so it was probably because he did not want to attend to this cousin and the gym was his excuse to get away. Hence, Nell did not comment further.

She ordered the maids to prepare extra servings for lunch. Helen wanted to help out but Nell was not going to have it.

Although they were not close, Helen was still a guest. How could Nell possibly have a guest working in the kitchen?

To her surprise, Helen answered with a smile, “Sister-in-law, you don’t have to be polite with me. I major in nursing at school and am quite an expert in nutrition for pregnant women. Although the villa has maids, why don’t you try out my cooking? It can be considered an approval of my academic achievement if you think it’s great.”

Nell would seem overly-courteous and distant if she were to refuse at this point.

She nodded and grinned. “Don’t work yourself too hard. You came a long way only to have you prepare a meal. If words were to get out, Grandma would say that I bullied you.”

Helen let out a smile. Her pretty face painted an embarrassed blush.

“No, the old madam informed me to keep an eye on your meals when I came over. It’s my major after all.”

After a pause, she added. “Of course, the maids you hire aren’t that bad, but they’re outsiders at the end of the day. The food you take is vital during this period and it’s better if you have your people watching over.”

Nell moved her line of vision and threw her a glance.

Helen was still grinning ever so sweetly while Aunt Joyce at the side turned glum.

All the maids in the villa, from the lobby to the kitchen, were under Aunt Joyce’s jurisdiction.

The maids’ ability and character, even the maternity matron on standby were handpicked by her. There was no issue with them.

Helen’s statement, directly and indirectly, pointed out the unreliability of the people in the villa.

Yet, here she was, helping them to scout a mole out of kindness.

Nell darted an abstruse look at Aunt Joyce.

Still, she said nothing and instead, grinned. “Sorry to trouble you then.”

“You’re welcome, Sister-in-law.”

Helen was led to the kitchen while Nell remained there with downcast eyes for a moment before returning to the bedroom.

She picked up her phone and gave Old Madam Quinton a call.
