“It’s alright, Mrs. Anderson, I usually…”
Before Queenie could finish her words, she screamed, and the fruit knife and apple fell to the ground.
Her fingers were cut and beads of blood were seeping out.
Jacqueline called the family doctor with an unpleasant face, “Bandage her up.”
Soon, the family doctor bandaged Queenie’s finger.
Queenie looked at Jacqueline with tears in her eyes, “Mrs. Anderson, I really didn’t mean to…”
Jacqueline didn’t even bother to pay lip service to it.
Ladies knew ladies, what’s the point of Queenie being innocence here?
Suddenly, she glanced at Vanessa picked up a new knife and an apple from the corner of her eyes. She was startled but afraid to scare Vanessa, so she reminded with a gentle voice, “It’s dangerous, Vanessa. Put them down and I’ll let the maid peel it.”
Vanessa, holding a fruit knife in one hand and an apple in the other, raised her head and looked at Jacqueline, “Mrs. Anderson, I’m not that clumsy.”
Then she lowered her head and began to peel the apple in earnest.
Everywhere the fruit knife passed, a bunch of fruit skin fell off, revealing the yellowish flesh inside.
Two minutes later, Vanessa peeled the whole apple, and also sliced it into small pieces and handed it to Jacqueline.
Jacqueline hurriedly thanked her, “Thank you, Vanessa!”
Queenie on the side saw that Jacqueline treated Vanessa so gently, her eyes turned red because of anger.
Why the hell did this damn Vanessa always steal her thunder?
And why was Mrs. Anderson making such a fuss? Didn’t she just know how to peel an apple?
Dinner was soon over.
Jacqueline found an excuse to send Queenie to go home and asked Vanessa to stay alone.
“Vanessa, how about I taking you to meet your fiancé now?”
“Alright.”
Vanessa agreed and became a little curious about her fiancé.
Jacqueline cheerfully called Aaron, but was told that he was too busy to come now.
Jacqueline was instantly angry, “She has been waiting for you all afternoon, and you tell me you don’t have time? I’m telling you, if you don’t come back now, don’t ever come back again!”
Aaron found himself in some kind of dilemma.
He also really wanted to see Lamb, but in this case, if he met with Lamb, he was afraid that he would get punched in the face.
Cause Lamb hated it the most when someone lied to her.
He wanted to make Lamb truly accept him.
Aaron explained to his mother, Jacqueline then reluctantly forgave him. She hung up the phone and looked at Vanessa with guilt in her eyes, holding Vanessa’s small hand.
And in addition to the first time Jacqueline held her hand, she was now much more used to it.
“Vanessa, I’m really sorry, my son is a bit busy today.”
Vanessa did not show any disappointment and regret after hearing that, and calmly nodded.
Jacqueline observed her reaction and was a little disappointed. What the hell was her son capable of?
But it didn’t matter, she must trick such a cute and dumb little girl home!
“I don’t know what’s appropriate to give you,” Jacqueline took out a black card, handed it to Vanessa and said with a smile, “This is the first time we met, I want to give you a small gift, and I will make it more anticipated in the future.”
‘madam!”
When the butler saw the card, he didn’t resist shouting out, wanting to say something.
Jacqueline glanced at the butler with discontent, “What’s wrong with me giving my daughter-in-law… Oops, Vanessa, a black card? She is at the age of dressing up, and must want to buy everything she likes! Don’t you think so, Vanessa?”
Jacqueline didn’t hear Vanessa’s response, so she turned back and found that Vanessa was staring at the black card she was holding.
She shook her head and spoke, “This is too much, and I can’t take it.”
