"Alright, alright, I know," Evelyn replied in a cursory manner. "I will drop by when I'm free. Can you go now?"
When she heard Evelyn agree, Rachel let out a satisfied smile before stepping aside. "I'll leave at once. I won't take up anymore of your time."
Without looking at Rachel, Evelyn stormed into the house and muttered softly, "She's so annoying.
Who does she think she is?"
After watching Evelyn enter the house, Rachel left the Morrison residence reluctantly.
Meanwhile, Vivian who had seen everything didn't call out to Rachel. Instead, she watched her silhouette leave with mixed emotions.
The sight of Rachel speaking to Evelyn in an obsequious manner upset Vivian. Furthermore, she was confused by Rachel's actions.
Rachel seemed to be extremely concerned with Evelyn.
Vivian remembered how Rachel ignored her own health just to attend Evelyn's death anniversary. In fact, she even slapped Vivian twice over Evelyn.
Before this, she never gave it much thought as she assumed her mom was closer to Evelyn because she had taken care of her since she was young.
However, now that she found out she wasn't Rachel's biological daughter, all this no longer made sense to her. The way her mom showed concern for Evelyn had exceeded that of an employer and nanny.
Unless... Vivian was shocked by the idea that flashed across her mind. It's highly
unlikely.However, nothing doesn't make sense at all.
"What are you doing?" While Vivian was deep in her own thoughts, a voice suddenly rang out behind, jolting her.
Turning around, she realized it was Benedict.
Patting her own chest, she heaved a sigh of relief. "You gave me a fright."
Curious, Benedict looked in the same direction Vivian was looking just now but didn't see anything. Turning his attention back to Vivian's expression, he found it to be adorable. Smiling, he repeated his question, "What are you doing here?"
