Queenie’s face stiffened.
What’s this? How come it’s not quite what she expected?
Jacqueline did not have time to deal with Queenie, and smiled at Vanessa, “What would you like to eat or drink? I’ll ask my maid to prepare it.”
Vanessa responded politely, “No, thank you. I already ate before I came.”
Jacqueline let out a giggle.
She was so cute!
“Then I’ll ask the maid to serve some fruit.” Jacqueline winked towards Vanessa, “Don’t refuse me again!”
Queenie gnashed her teeth by their sides.
Why did everyone like Vanessa?
She was so pissed off.
Later she must behave well and make Mrs. Anderson pay more attention to her!
Jacqueline pulled Vanessa to sit beside her. This action made Vanessa uncomfortable at first, but she slowly relaxed in Jacqueline’s gentle accent.
This felt weird, thought Vanessa.
She stared at the woman’s gentle and soft face, and her mind was a little empty.
“Vanessa?”
Jacqueline watched the suddenly dumbfounded girl and couldn’t help but simmer with laughter.
This little girl, she’s just adorable.
Queenie finally interjected, “Sister! Mrs. Anderson is talking to you now! Don’t be so rude!”
Jacqueline glanced at Queenie and ordered coldly, “You can go around the manor, I’ll ask the butler to accompany you.”
Queenie just wanted to say no, Jacqueline had already called the butler. She missed the window to refuse.
So she had to get up, “Then I’ll walk around for a while, thank you.”
After sending Queenie away, Vanessa’s face once again showed a smile, holding Vanessa’s little hand and chattering, “How do you know my son?”
She looked at Vanessa expectantly.
However, Vanessa shook her head and answered, “I don’t know him.”
“What?”
Jacqueline was a little surprised, not expecting this answer, and began to mutter in her heart.
Vanessa still didn’t know her son?
So it was love at first sight for her son with this little girl? And her son didn’t do anything yet?
Loser!
Jacqueline suddenly became extremely discontent with Aaron.
“Well, Vanessa…”Jacqueline said, “I did not know that you have not seen Aaron yet. He, well, just looks cute and has no other merits at all.”
Jacqueline felt somehow wrong about it after saying that, looked at Vanessa and added, “And very rich!”
“If you marry him, I promise to treat you like my own daughter!”
Vanessa watched Jacqueline.
She could feel the kindness Jacqueline had to her.
She wanted to say that she was also rich and didn’t need to spend her fiancé’s money.
But looking at Jacqueline’s enthusiastic eyes, she still nodded silently.
Jacqueline looked at Vanessa, nodding, and was overjoyed, “Come, I’ll show you the manor.”
She then took Vanessa around the Anderson manor and soon it was dinner time.
Jacqueline invited Queenie to stay for dinner for the sake of Vanessa.
On the long table, it was a fancy dinner.
Vanessa sat next to Jacqueline.
But Queenie sighed in her heart when she stared at the food on the table.
Rumor had it that the Anderson family was rich, but she never thought it would be as extravagant as this.
She couldn’t help but want to flatter Mrs. Anderson, or at least embarrass Vanessa!
Jacqueline had always had the habit of having an apple before meals, so she called the maid to peel an apple. Queenie hurriedly said, “Mrs. Anderson, let me do this for you, please!”
Before Jacqueline could respond, Queenie picked up the apple and fruit knife, ready to start peeling.
Jacqueline frowned, “This is a very sharp knife.”
