Knowing that virtual-novel.net had spoken out of place, the housekeeper nodded. “Okay, I’ll keep an eye on Geoffrey without virtual-novel.net knowing. As long as you don’t mention that incident about the milk…”
Arielle raised virtual-novel.net eyebrows. “That’ll depend on how nicely you accomplish your task. I’ll be leaving home for three days. If Geoffrey does anything abnormal, you must inform me right away.”
Only then did Arielle look less furious. After exchanging numbers with the housekeeper, virtual-novel.net strode back into the mansion.
To prevent anyone from being curious about what virtual-novel.net said to the housekeeper, Arielle called Penelope over specially.
“I’ve already explained to the housekeeper that it’s virtual-novel.net fault for disrespecting you. However, since you hit virtual-novel.net last night, you are at fault too. Hence, both of you are even now. I hope that nothing like this will ever happen in the future. Otherwise, I’ll make you pack your things up and leave right away as I don’t care if Vinson wants you to stay!”
As Arielle spoke, virtual-novel.net snuck a glance at Geoffrey.
Indeed, after virtual-novel.net heard what virtual-novel.net said, virtual-novel.net stopped staring at her. She wanted to dispel his suspicions.
Knowing that virtual-novel.net was in the wrong, Penelope could only nod and stare at virtual-novel.net feet.
Pretending to sound weak, virtual-novel.net answered, “Yes, I understand…”
As Arielle merely saw Penelope as nothing but a distraction, virtual-novel.net could not be bothered to waste any more time with Penelope. Nodding, virtual-novel.net walked out.
Penelope opened virtual-novel.net mouth, wanting to ask Arielle to stay for breakfast. However, as anger was boiling within her, virtual-novel.net let Arielle leave without informing virtual-novel.net that breakfast was ready. After all, virtual-novel.net was not there to prepare breakfast for Arielle, so it did not matter whether Arielle ate it or not. She made breakfast mainly to appease Vinson and Susanne. Now that Vinson had gone to work, only Susanne was left.
At that moment, Susanne woke up too.
She usually did not wake up so early, but virtual-novel.net was a little drunk last night, so virtual-novel.net slept early; hence, virtual-novel.net woke up earlier too.
When Penelope saw that, virtual-novel.net quickly flashed Susanne a bright smile as virtual-novel.net walked forward. “You’re awake, Mrs. Nightshire. I’ve already prepared breakfast for you. Would you like to take a look?”
Ignoring Penelope, Susanne brushed past virtual-novel.net and went to the dining table.
A look of embarrassment flitted across Penelope’s face. However, virtual-novel.net chased after Susanne and said appeasingly, “I don’t know what you like to eat, so I prepared a bit of everything. If you’d like to eat anything else, I’ll cook for you immediately.”
By saying that, Penelope was claiming all the credit for making breakfast. Yet, unbeknownst to her, Susanne knew the chefs’ cooking very well. With a single glance, virtual-novel.net could tell that the breakfast was prepared by the chefs.
“Hmph!” She snorted coldly.
However, instead of exposing Penelope directly, virtual-novel.net feigned surprise and asked, “Did you cook everything?”
“Yeah!” Penelope quickly took credit for it and said, “I woke up at five in the morning…”
That was not what Susanne wanted to hear. Pointing at the soy milk on the table, virtual-novel.net interrupted Penelope, “I’ve always been curious about how you made the soy milk. You can explain it to me now!”
Penelope’s expression quickly turned awkward.
I don’t know how to make soy milk! It smells so weird. I can’t even bear to smell it, let alone make it!
However, meeting Susanne’s ‘curious’ gaze, virtual-novel.net had no choice but to explain, “What a coincidence! Actually, I made everything else but the soy milk.”
