Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 89

It was a stormy day.

After ten hours of flight, Claudia got off the plane and received a warm welcome from the heavy rain.

The sky was gloomy and cloudy. It was only at 5 pm but the city was already covered by the darkness, with thunder occasionally struck and lit up the sky.

She took a taxi back to the mansion.

However, she didn’t see Conrad and anybody else in the house. The room was empty and dusty like nobody was living in here.

She sent a message to the steward but didn’t receive his reply for a long time.

Claudia brought the suitcase upstairs and put the luggage back in place. Then, she started to think about Conrad worriedly on the sofa. When she was about to send another message to the steward, she saw the reply from him.

“I didn't expect you to come back so early, Mrs. Crawford. We are still in the Maldives with madam and young master.”

The Maldives?!

Claudia was stunned. When she and Ben were in France, Winifred brought Conrad to the Maldives.

But he was scarcely a year old! Why did she bring a baby to take a long flight?

She couldn’t think more about that and just urged them to go back as soon as possible. When texting the message, she was cautious about the choice of words to prevent annoying Winifred again.

Soon, the steward told her that they would be back the day after tomorrow, and she was relieved.

Then, she cleaned up the room carefully and sorted out the toys in the baby room. After a few hours, she felt tired and went downstairs.

The house had been empty for days and had nothing left to eat.

So she went to the supermarket nearby and did some shopping. When she was pushing the shopping cart, it hit another cart accidentally.

She bowed her head immediately to express her regret and moved her cart backward.

But the man didn’t leave her alone for such a trifle and scolded her in a low voice, “Don’t you know that you need to say sorry when you hit someone? Are you dumb?”

She lowered her head embarrassingly and was about to move on, but she heard a voice of a lady.

“You are right, Tim. She is dumb indeed!”

She didn’t even need to take a look at her and knew who was the lady.

After all, they grew up with each other, though didn’t get on well.

Amber was wearing a pink dress with a pair of high heels and looked pretty and delicate.

However, she was still as arrogant as she used to be.

“I heard that you were in France a few days ago. Why do you come back soon?” Amber approached and ridiculed her.

Claudia lowered her eyes and didn’t respond.

But Amber never lost any chance to satirize her and said, “Did Ben feel that you were so annoying and left you immediately?”

Once he heard the name of Ben, Tim asked her immediately, “Ben? You mean Mr. Crawford?”

“Yeah! I am familiar with him! I can introduce you to him next time!”

The man was overjoyed and thanked her over and over again.
