Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 2004

Chapter 2004: Desperate Need for This Job

Elsa lifted her head, "It's alright, it was many years ago. I've long gotten used to it. Madam, you can rest assured. I'm used to this and have no home to long for. My late husband and I never had children. I have no attachments. I will do my utmost to take care of the young masters, not disappointing Madam's trust."

"Ah, you are devoted," Joyce awkwardly smiled.

Joyce had never imagined Elsa had such a tragic past. She didn't press further.

At that moment, Mrs. Powell passed by from the dining room.

Luther gave Joyce a look.

Joyce hurriedly waved to Mrs. Powell, "I just baked a pizza, come have a slice."

Mrs. Powell hesitated at the door, feeling somewhat flattered, "Oh, no need. Madam, Mr. Warner, I've already had breakfast."

"Have a slice, it takes energy to care for children. Freshly baked pizza tastes best when hot. It would be a waste of Elsa's skills," Joyce insisted, handing a slice to Elsa and instructing her to distribute the rest later.

Elsa nodded, "Alright, Madam."

Mrs. Powell then entered.

Taking the steaming pizza, she was filled with inexplicable emotions. Despite their status and power, this family had no airs about them. Her hands trembled slightly.

"Why aren't you eating? Sit, we don't have many rules here," Joyce encouraged.

Anderson and Iris had finished eating, and both got up.

Anderson said, "Mom, Dad, we're done eating and heading to school. Uncle Aaron is waiting downstairs for us."

Iris told Mrs. Powell, "Auntie, please have a seat, I'll give you my spot."

Mrs. Powell was further moved.

Despite her reservations, she stood tentatively, "It's fine, I'll just stand and eat."

With caution, she took a bite of the pizza.

"Go on, have fun at school," Joyce bid farewell to Anderson and Iris, feeling that it was safer for the two children to be at school during the day.

Luther pulled Iris to him, kissed her on the head, and then let her go, "Be good, go on."
