"Are you alright? You don't need to apologize," the maid said, waving her hands when she heard the apologies."It's okay, now help her pick up the fruits from the floor and put them on a plate. Then, go wash the fruits and bring them here," Clarice instructed again."Clarice, isn't this too much?" Julie was no longer calm at this point and opened her mouth to object."I'm just teaching him to do things, how can I make up for it when he grows up?" Clarice just raised her gaze, looked at her, and said calmly."Then let him pick it up, but why did you tell him to wash it?" Julie was not convinced."If you don't clean it, do you want to eat the fruit that fell on the floor, Julie?" Clarice's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at her. "When the maid brought it, it was already a plate of clean fruits, but now it's dirty, who will wash it if not him who dropped it? This year, he is already four years old, almost five, and he can definitely do things li
At night, as Nicholas was busy with social events, he did not come home for dinner, and after missing lunch, Clarice was invited by Julie to have dinner, and at the dining table, she sat on the right side of Olivia while Olivia sat in the seat of honor.Bryan sat in front of Clarice with Sara in charge of watching him eat and helping him carry the dishes. After the servants finished serving the dishes, Olivia picked up her rice plate and looked at Clarice."Let's start eating," Clarice nodded and also picked up her plate."I heard from Julie that you allowed Bryan to work today!" After Olivia ate a few spoonfuls, she said slowly, and Clarice didn't think she wouldn't mention this matter in the afternoon, but now, she was suddenly brought up to the dinner table. Her expression froze a bit as she looked at Julie behind Olivia and said with a calm face."Yes.""Grandma, what a wonderful day! I washed all the fruits." At that moment, Bryan, who was eating, couldn't help but boast. He didn
—Where's Bryan? Finished watching TV?" Clarice asked, looking around."I just bathed him and put him to bed, and I was waiting for you to tell him a bedtime story," Sara replied."Alright, I'll tell him a story first. Sara, when Bella falls asleep, you can go take a bath!" After Clarice finished, she walked towards the rooms.Sara looked at her slim back and let out a long sigh. She really didn't understand why she was so demanding to enter this family. If her son could marry such a good daughter-in-law in the future, she would definitely treat her well.When Nicholas returned at night, the three of them were already asleep. When Clarice was telling a story to Bryan, she ended up falling asleep directly on his bed, and when Nicholas returned to his room, he didn't see anyone around, so he could only search the rooms.Looking at the mother and son sleeping in all sorts of positions, a slight smile finally appeared on his serious face, and he bent down to pick up Clarice, who was sleepi
"Alright, I'll tuck you into bed," Nicholas said as he carried her to a large bed beside them."Go to sleep. I'll be right there," he lowered his head and kissed her rosy cheeks."Yes," Clarice replied softly. Her face was immediately buried in the soft silk blanket, she closed her eyes and fell asleep comfortably.That night, she had a strange dream. In her dreams, she turned into a monster, and her son, her husband, her family, they all didn't recognize her anymore. Not only that, they even lit torches to burn her to death. She cried a lot as she tried to explain who she was, but no words came out as she sobbed. At this moment, someone suddenly approached with a torch in hand. She could see clearly that the one holding the torch was none other than Olivia, who should be her mother-in-law, publicly announcing her crime and then throwing the torch on top of the pyre, which was immediately set ablaze. She was trapped in a sea of fire and was incomparably desperate. The people around he
"You seemed very nervous just now, are you afraid of her?" Nicholas noticed her relief and turned her body to face him."No... No, I'm...," Clarice lowered her head, raised her hand slightly embarrassed, and lightly patted his shoulder. "From now on, at home, we should still be more careful. It's not good to be seen like that by others.""What's not good? You're my wife, isn't it natural for me to be close to you?" Nicholas said as he hugged her tightly on purpose.Although Clarice was a little worried that others might see and was embarrassed, she still felt sweet inside... After breakfast, Nicholas left for the company, and in the morning, Clarice was playing with the children. The maid sent the fruits upstairs and saw that Bella was still awake."Do you want to hold her?" Clarice saw that she seemed to really like Bella, so she asked."Can I?" The maid didn't think Clarice would really let him hold her, and her face revealed surprise and joy.
Noon.In a high-class restaurant in the city center, Olivia and Julie sat in a relatively quiet spot, waiting for someone.After a while, they saw a bright and seductive young woman enter through the door and walk towards them."Madame!" When Jessica saw Olivia, her steps quickened, and not long after, she hurried over to them and greeted them with a smile."Jessica, you're here!" When Olivia saw Jessica, her face lit up with a gentle smile and she gestured for her to sit.Jessica placed her bag on a seat nearby as she sat across from Olivia, and at that moment, the waiter approached with the menu."Mrs. Murray, may I ask if anyone from your party has arrived? Can we go ahead and order?""Julie, I'll let you help me make my decision." When Olivia said this, she looked at Jessica again. "Jessica, order whatever you'd like to eat.""I'm fine with anything, just let Julie order for me." Jessica said with a smile, and upon hearing th
"Auntie, I understand what you mean, but... They've already received confirmation. If my parents found out about this, I fear they would blame me for interfering in someone else's marriage..." Jessica asked, her face filled with hesitation."Since you have these concerns, forget it, and just pretend I didn't mention it. I thought you really liked Nicholas, and I really liked you, that's why I'm telling you this. But forget it, it's just that our two families are not meant to be one and cannot marry." Seeing that she was hesitant, Olivia immediately retracted everything she had said, revealing a look of regret."Aiya, Auntie, you know clearly that I like Nicholas, why are you so anxious to say these words? I didn't say I didn't want to. Even though they were married, it's not like they couldn't get divorced. In today's society, there are many people who have divorced." Upon hearing her words, Jessica became anxious again."Jessica, remember, when you're with Nich
"Ma'am, you just have to decide on this matter, you are Bryan's grandmother, so whoever you choose for him is definitely the best." She looked at the information on the tea table and smiled.Olivia never thought she would actually be so obedient this time, and before this, she placed a lot of importance on group education. To teach her son well, she didn't even hesitate to disagree with Julie. This time, she really didn't express any objection and handed the decision directly to her, which really left her incredulous. However, Olivia was still very pleased with her attitude, so she nodded."Well, since you say so, then I will make the decision." After saying this, she turned to look at Julie beside her. "Julie, contact the kindergarten director and inform him that we will meet with him tomorrow.""Madame, do we need to prepare an interview or something?" Clarice asked at this point."Interview?" After Olivia heard this, she laughed out loud. "My grandson
