Drowning In His Deep Love (Re-edited) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Making Things Difficult for Colleen

Colleen's scream came from the kitchen and she was squealing with fear in her voice. Her voice became hoarse in the end.

Colleen came out of the kitchen in a mess. Her clothes were nearly wet by the splashing water, and her hair was wet and stuck to her face.

Florence had a mirror in the living room. Colleen screamed again when she saw herself in the mirror.

"Aaaah!"

She was the daughter of the Scott family and the daughter-in-law of the Hudson family. She had never been in such an awkward position.

On the contrary, Florence was sitting on the sofa and drinking tea leisurely.

Florence was picking her ears and felt totally unconcerned. She found the scream was really harsh.

"I told you that you can't do it. Forget it. Just go, otherwise I will have such a bad reputation of treating you so mean, and they will all come here to pick a fight."

"I will not leave." Colleen gritted her teeth with anger. How could she leave so easily after being teased by Florence.

Otherwise, the plan to go to the banquet would be ruined.

Florence sneered, "Oh!"

Colleen was so hell-bent on it.

Colleen removed the hair on her face, hid her vicious scheme, and smiled. "Sis how about I order you a takeaway? I'll order the steamed fish for you."

"No." Florence refused mercilessly. "I just like the fish in the kitchen. Why? If you are not sincere, why do you come here again?"

Obviously, she was making things difficult for Colleen.

Colleen deeply regretted that she had come here today. She came in a day when Florence was just raising a live fish in the kitchen.

Colleen squeezed out a smile that was uglier than when she was crying and said, "Sis I didn't say I am not going to cook it. I am just taking a break."

"I have to go out later. Mrs. Cooper asked me to go shopping with her."

Florence said it on purpose.

Sure enough, when Colleen heard Mrs. Cooper, her eyes were gleaming and said, "Is it Mr. Cooper Andrew's wife?"

Florence said lazily, "Yes."

Colleen was very excited. "Sis can I go with you?"

Mrs. Cooper was a person that a lot of noblewomen in the circle wanted to fawn on. Colleen had heard that her mother-in-law had asked Mrs. Cooper out to play mahjong several times, but Mrs. Cooper refused.

If Colleen could help her mother-in-law to build a relationship with Mrs. Cooper, her mother-in-law would definitely change her attitude towards her. If Colleen could please her mother-in-law, her life in the Hudson family would be easier, and Thomas would also praise her at that time.

Florence raised her eyelids and said, "You can't even handle a fish. Why should I bring you with me?"

"I can do it. I will kill the fish now! It won't take long." Colleen was indeed not easy to be defeated. She went into the kitchen again.

The fish jumped out of the sink making it harder for her to catch.

Florence got up, walked over and leaned on the door, commanding, "Left, right. It moved into the cracks. Oops! Colleen, why are you so stupid? You are so stupid. It's behind you now."

Colleen followed Florence's command and she felt so dizzy. Finally she caught the fish but the fish was struggling and its tail was swinging and slapping Colleen's face.

Florence couldn't help but laugh. Colleen sat on the ground which was wet by the water and she had got smell of fish all over her body. The fish on the ground even shook its tail arrogantly, making her even angrier.

It was not easy to catch fish and now she had to pick up a knife to kill the fish. Colleen felt more nauseous.

When she thought that she could please her mother-in-law and Thomas by striking up a relationship with Mrs. Cooper, she decided to endure it.

Florence reminded her indifferently, "I will be out in an hour."

"It will be ready soon." Colleen held the fish fiercely in both hands, carried the knife, and cut it with her eyes closed.

The fish's blood splashed all over her, and the fishy smell was even worse.

Colleen was near to tears.

Florence saw Colleen's expression clearly and she was very happy. "This is what you asked for, I didn't force you."

"I am very happy to have a chance to cook for my sister." Colleen tried to force a smile. But she didn't know that it was even uglier than crying.

Florence wasn't in that mood to keep watching Colleen making fool of herself, so she went to wash up and change her clothes.

Florence glanced at the phone, the whole morning almost past, but she didn't get any message from Alexander.

Maybe he was busy working.

Brielle sent a message to Florence saying that she would be downstairs in half an hour.
