Chapter 27 She Is the Maid
She and Edison had been dating for six months and he hadn't taken the initiative to bring her here. She had come here a few times because she insisted on following him.
But he had never allowed her to stay the night, let alone prepared slippers for her.
She hadn't even been up to the second floor and didn't even know what Edison's room looked like.
Why...
Why was Gwenyth allowed to stay here?
How could Edison go so far as to irritate her?
He had a cleanliness fetish!
How could he stand to have someone as lowly as Gwenyth living in the same house with him?
Didn't he feel degraded?
She looked at Edison incredulously. There were questions she wanted to ask, but she couldn't in front of Ismael.
Ismael didn't know that Edison had hired a woman to make her angry.
Because of Edison's stern warning, she didn't dare to mention this when she went to the Yates Mansion early this morning.
She was afraid that Ismael might get sick from the stimulus. This old man was her biggest support.
If she lost his support, Edison would pay less attention to her.
She took a deep breath, pushed down the anger and resentment, and said to Edison with a smile, "Honey, you have to be careful in the future. You can't get hurt again. I'll be worried."
Ignoring her concern, Edison took a few steps over to Ismael and sat down next to him.
"Grandpa, let me know the next time you come."
Ismael glanced at Gwenyth, who was standing to the side, and saw the pink slippers on Gwenyth's feet. Then he said with a slightly displeased expression, "I rushed over before you left the house and you blame me for not informing you in advance?"
"Grandpa, you misunderstood me."
"Eddie, I made up my mind about the marriage between you and Nancy a long time ago. I don't care what you do out there. But don't go too far. And this place is not for anybody. Just because Nancy's always there for you doesn't mean you're right. Don't let her down."
Edison could hear what Ishmael was hinting at.
He looked at Gwenyth and remembered that Nancy had told Ishmael that she was the new center. He wanted to clarify, but he was afraid his grandfather would get sick from the sudden shock. So he said nothing.
His acquiescence made Nancy feel smug.
She took the opportunity to command Gwenyth.
"What are you waiting for? Go and make us some tea."
Gwenyth nodded as an afterthought and walked to the kitchen.
She looked in the cupboard but couldn't find any tea, so she poured a glass of mineral water and brought it to Ismael.
This act irritated Nancy.
"What do you mean by just pouring a glass of water? Can't you see there are three people here?"
"I'll go and pour two more glasses right away."
"You are not old, but why are you so blind? Do you want to do this job or not? If you don't want to do it anymore, you can leave now." Nancy acted angry on purpose.
She was acting for Ismael. At the same time, she was able to make fun of Gwenyth, which made her feel so good.
Ismael could see that Gwenyth had stayed here last night, and he turned a blind eye to Nancy's act.
Gwenyth soon brought two more glasses of water. Just as she put them down, Nancy said indignantly, "Only water for us in the morning? Don't you have any apple pie for us?"
Gwenyth held back her anger and said to Nancy, "Miss Shandy, I've made coffee, salad and pancakes, why don't you go to the restaurant..."
"Who wants coffee? I'm talking about apple pie. Do you speak English?"
Edison's face had darkened.
He hated whiny women, and Nancy's voice was so loud that his head hurt.
"I don't have any apple pie here."
He spoke coldly.
