auntie Julie seemed to be a little uncomfortable even after being stared at by her for a while, lowered her head and said hoarsely, “Miss Elena, what are you staring at an old aunt like me for?”
“Your voice ……”
Elena Bush was a little surprised and subconsciously looked to the side at the housekeeper.
auntie Julie looked at the housekeeper too, then explained, “When I got divorced, my husband wanted to take my property I didn’t agree, so I burned his house down and ended up hurting myself ……”
Elena Bush frowned, “So, you didn’t get plastic surgery because of your husband?”
“Hmm.” auntie Julie nodded, her eyes half red, “A fire that directly disfigured me and destroyed my vocal cords, so ……”
The housekeeper chimed in, “Yes, Miss Elena, in fact this auntie Julie does have quite a fate, otherwise, the whole of the Ford is full of young girls, except for the kitchen one who is slightly older, I don’t take any of them, mainly because I feel sorry for her.”
Said another long sigh.
Elena Bush’s eyes glanced around at the two men, then withdrew her gaze coldly.
She smiled, “Does any of this matter to me? Just because what happened to her is sympathetic, it doesn’t mean I can let her stay by my side as she pleases!”
“Miss Elena!”
Before Elena Bush could finish her sentence, auntie Julie had fallen to her knees with a thud.
“Miss Elena, please don’t do this, Mr Ford said he was going to fire me if I couldn’t stay with you, I’ve already taken on a lot of debts for medical and cosmetic treatment, soon the creditors will have to come back to me, I can’t be without money and I can’t be without this job.”
“You should be going to Edward Ford if you don’t have a job, not to me!” She turned away mercilessly, just as if she hadn’t seen anything.
auntie Julie looked surprised, “Miss Elena, are you, are you really that desperate?”
Elena Bush tugged at the corner of her mouth, “That’s because I’m not willing to trade my own freedom for your job.”
The job was gone, she could find another one, and besides, she thought Edward Ford was so awful that it wouldn’t be a bad thing for her to leave.
“Miss Elena, then I promise you I won’t bother you, I won’t say anything Mr Ford asks me, please, won’t you throw me out?”
The sound of auntie Julie’s voice was already hard to hear, but the sobbing tone was even more heartbreaking.
Elena Bush, who was already a mother, could not help but feel compassion ……
The housekeeper was also unbearable and followed suit at the side, “Miss Elena, just give her your permission, otherwise I don’t think she will get up today.”
“That’s what she’s willing to do.” She scowled and clenched her lower lip.
auntie Julie looked at her look and couldn’t help but immediately panic, “Miss Elena, you’ve always been a bodhisattva, besides, consider it a blessing for the baby in your belly, just keep me ……”
“I ……”
Elena Bush was too young to be begged, and her words became hesitant.
auntie Julie saw this and immediately said, “Miss Elena, don’t worry, I swear, I will never disturb your private life, usually if you are in the room, I will stay outside the room, if you want to go out, I will also keep a distance of ten meters from you!”
Elena Bush slowly turned to look at her appearance, her brow furrowed, “Can you really do that?”
“Of course!” auntie Julie answered in one breath, “If I can’t do it, then let me be chastised by God!”
Perhaps her words were so firm that Elena Bush really believed them, and by the time she tried to backtrack there was no chance of that happening.
For auntie Julie had risen quickly from the ground and bowed slightly to her, “Miss Elena, from now on I will take care of your food, clothing and accommodation, if you need anything, just call me.”
Elena Bush’s lips twitched at her words, wanting to say something.
The butler tugged cautiously at her sleeve and said, “Miss Elena, I know you are always kind-hearted, so you will not refuse this poor woman’s request, will you?”
The corner of Elena Bush’s mouth twitched absently and she half-sneered, “You’re overthinking it, I’m not as nice as you think.”
And not as kind as he thought!
Because, at the Ford, the slightest mercy on her part could very well lead her to a point of no return!
But in any case, auntie Julie and the housekeeper gave her no chance to retort and doubled back to exit her bedroom.
Elena Bush gritted her teeth and let out a long breath.
She had to calm herself down and said, “Forget it, she’ll see how this auntie Julie behaves in a few days and then she’ll make a decision,” and then ……
She thought of what Logan Brown had said to her earlier, and her lips lifted in the corners with a gentle light smile, her time at the Ford would not last long, it was only for a while, she could stand it.
“Knock knock ……”
As she thought, the door to the room that had just been closed was pushed open again and auntie Julie came forward with a smile on her face and her lunch in her hand, “Miss Elena, I’ve come to bring you your lunch, don’t be offended.”
“Hmm.” She responded indifferently.
auntie Julie set down her plate and couldn’t help the rest of her eyes from falling on her body for a few moments.
Elena Bush frowned slightly and her voice sank abruptly, “I thought you said you wouldn’t bother me. Now that the stuff has been brought in, why don’t you go?”
“Go!” auntie Julie immediately bowed her head and said, “I’m leaving!”
As she walked out of the room, she gripped the door handle and said, “I’m sorry Miss Elena, I didn’t mean to offend you, I just thought you and my daughter were a bit similar in age and I couldn’t help but look at you a bit more, I really didn’t mean anything else!”
Elena Bush didn’t reply, she just picked up her cutlery and ate the food in front of her wordlessly.
When auntie Julie saw this, she just bowed her head and sighed, slowly exiting the room.
The housekeeper had been waiting outside the door and when he saw her come out he followed impatiently, “Yes? Did Miss Elena say anything earlier?”
“No, nothing ……” auntie Julie shook her head, “She just kept eating and didn’t speak to me, and didn’t answer me when I asked a few questions.”
Hearing this, the housekeeper couldn’t help but sigh darkly, “Forget it, she might not be in a good mood for the next few days, take care of yourself, whatever happens, put her body first!”
