Chapter 53
Chapter 53 “I’m not going anymore,” Violet answered. Zoey did not ask any more questions afterward. She had a feeling that she would be able to complete the task Mr. Yancey had set for her perfectly. Miss Yeager was not an unreasonable person, after all. Other than the scrambled eggs, there were also braised ribs and pan-fried vegetables. These were simple everyday dishes, but Violet had prepared them exceptionally well. Zoey kept singing her praises after tasting the food. “Miss Yeager, your culinary skills are better than a professional chef’s.” “Your compliment is a bit too high,” Violet laughed as she helped herself to the food. “My mother loves my cooking. She always finishes two servings!” Zoey looked at her with a kind countenance. After a while, Violet tried her luck. “Zoey, do you really not know where my mother is?” she inquired. The middle-aged woman shook her head while eating.
Violet pondered for a moment before asking again, “Where else does Jack own property? Other than this place? Do you know?” Zoey shook her head again. “I’m not sure.” How could she not be sure when she had been with him for ten years? Zoey was clearly dodging her questions! “Zoey, do you have children?” Violet began to appeal to Zoey’s sympathy. “You must already have kids at your age,” she sighed softly. “No matter how much time a mother spends with her children, their bond is always special and close. My mother and I are the same. This is the first time we’ve been separated for so long. I really miss her. I know Jack won’t hurt her but I still really want to see her.” “I no longer have a daughter,” Zoey looked up and said softly. “My daughter passed away in an accident when she was 18.” There was a hint of sadness in her voice. “I’m so sorry,” Violet apologized hurriedly. The air between them was slightly indecipherable. Zoey’s response had been so unexpected that Violet
did not know what to say. “I didn’t mean it.” “It’s okay,” Zoey was downcast. “Miss Yeager, I truly don’t know how much property Mr. Yancey has. I’m sure this isn’t the only one. I also don’t know where your mother is. Mr. Yancey would never report such matters to me, he doesn’t let me in on such things because I spend a lot of time with you. I’m just someone who sees to his meals and does the housekeeping here for her.” “I know,” Violet swore never to ask her about the same matter again. “I’m sorry.” 1/2 11:07 Chapter 53 “Don’t apologize, this isn’t your fault.” Zoey smiled, She was a very open-minded person. “I believe in parallel universes. My daughter is living a wonderful life in another world right now. I wish her all the best, and I know she wishes the same for me.” “Yes.” Violet beamed as well. “You have to be happy. She would want that.” After lunch was over, Violet did not make a fuss about going back to the old manor. She did not want to worry grandpa. Without waiting for Zoey to remind her, Violet took the initiative and said, “Well, I’m going upstairs now. They may be on their way back here already,” “Okay.” Just like that, Violet headed to the second floor. She was not someone who would mess things up deliberately. She knew better than that. She was already very apologetic about humiliating Jack at the wedding. How could she trouble him further, now that he had a massive deal to secure? The decision to sign the agreement must have been made at the last minute because he had not mentioned this to her last night. There was a balcony surrounded by wreaths of flowers and rattan on the second floor. The view from there was good, and the floor was covered in green artificial grass similar to the grass in the courtyard.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
This was Violet’s first time here. She sat down in the rattan chair and soaked in the sunlight, thinking about the future. Half an hour later. The great courtyard gates opened up slowly and two cars drove through slowly. One of them was Jack’s Maserati. They were back. 2/2
