When she woke up, Amelia Bright’s eyes still had tears in the corners, and her eyes panned around, and her eyes finally stopped at the alarm clock, it was almost ten o’clock.
She had slept for so long.
After picking a simple loungewear outfit from her closet and using the collar to cover up the pinch marks on her neck from yesterday, Amelia Bright went downstairs, praying that she would not see the disabled young man.
And sure enough, there was no Farren Austin downstairs, and Joziah Austin was not there either.
In the living room, Erlina Lee was teaching Halyn Austin, the second daughter of the Austin family, how to make dumplings, and the old man was sitting on the sofa watching the financial channel with his glasses on.
She went up and greeted, “Mom.”
At the sight of her, Erlina Lee’s face turned cold, her eyes dead set on the quartz clock.
“Don’t look at what time it is, your first day back and you’re so lazy? Do you really think you’re a lady who’s been pampered?
Halyn Austin squeezed the dumplings and said lazily, “Maybe it was too hard in prison, see how tired the sister-in-law is, she doesn’t even know how to make breakfast.”
She’s been making breakfast?
So Amelia Bright’s position in this family is that of a daughter-in-law and nanny?
“What, sister-in-law, it’s not like you’ve been locked up silly in prison, right?” Seeing her half-hearted silence, Halyn Austin’s slender eyebrows raised, and continued to sarcastic.
Amelia Bright came back to her senses and smiled slightly, “No, if Halyn wants to eat my breakfast, I’ll make it right now, it’ll be to your liking.”
She pretended not to see Halyn Austin’s and Erlina Lee’s pale faces as she strode to the kitchen.
“What’s wrong with you? You’re crazy! What time is it? Who wants to eat her breakfast?” Halyn Austin cursed. When Amelia Bright was disliked by her in the past, she always looked like she was being bullied.
Now she can smile at her in a cloudy manner?
“Guess the brain was beaten silly when she was in prison.”
Erlina Lee took the dumplings in her hand, “Look at the way you wrapped them, they are too ugly, they should come like this.”
Inside the kitchen, faced with a room full of oil, salt and vinegar dishes, Amelia Bright’s brain ached.
How could she cook breakfast? It was a good thing she hadn’t burned down the kitchen when she was in the Chambers family.
Still, she took the steak from the fridge, put onions and eggs, and fried it in the frying pan, which she remembered the Chambers family nanny used to do for breakfast.
She remembered how the Chambers family nanny used to make breakfast, but the heat was not right, and when she picked up the steak, it was as black as it was burnt.
She had no choice but to sneak a layer of white flour to cover it up, then put some cumin and chili, and served it out.
Halyn Austin only took one bite, and her delicate flower-like face quickly changed.
“Yuck!”
As if it was very unbearable, this was really the worst thing she had ever eaten in her life!
She spat out the steak she had eaten and slammed her chopsticks on the table with a ‘pop’, “Sister-in-law, I said you did that on purpose, right? Are you trying to harm me by ‘mistakenly’ putting something in my food, just like the crime of ‘manslaughter’ you committed!”
“So bad?” Erlina Lee looked suspicious, she remembered that Amelia Bright could cook.
She didn’t quite believe it, picked up a knife and fork and also cut a bite, just put it into her mouth, her face turned from green to purple.
“Oh … is not good? I’m really sorry, when I was in prison, not only was my head injured, stitches, my finger also gave a fracture, so just now maybe my hand shook a bit, and put too much material.”
She was so sincere that no one could find any fault, no matter how much Halyn Austin gritted her teeth, the corners of her mouth curved with a spring-like smile.
Erlina Lee’s eyes flashed slightly.
“I think you’re doing it on purpose, right? Don’t do it if you don’t want to cook! Who are you trying to shame?” Halyn Austin has always been uncomfortable with Amelia Bright’s obsequious appearance.
That’s why she was so sarcastic in her words, because she vowed to get Amelia Bright out of the Austin family sooner or later!
“Halyn, that’s not true, I do want to do well, but I’m just …” Amelia Bright showed her aggression to the fullest.
“You!!!”
A farce in the living room was on the verge of breaking out, and just then –
