Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 793

Morgan shrugged helplessly. "I'm sorry, Miss Jacob. It's not that I don't allow you to leave, but it's Mister's order. He wants you to stay here until you recover."

"I'm fine, and the bruise on my face is less swollen now." Although Elaine was angry, she did not want to vent her wrath at Morgan, so she insisted politely, "Please tell the bodyguards to make way and let me go."

Every time she walked to the door, the two statuelike bodyguards would hold her arm and "escorted" her back.

She was going berserk because of them.

Instead, Morgan shook his head. "They only listen to Mr. Bradbury's order."

Elaine pursed her lips in annoyance.

"Why don't you have breakfast first? When Mister comes back after he is done with his business, you can ask him to let you go."

Frowning, she asked, "Where did he go?"

"I don't know."

"Isn't he in the villa?"

Morgan's eyes lit up cautiously, but he said, "He's

not here."

Dejected, Elaine sat on the sofa and waited.

Morgan kept on persuading her to eat something, but she sat quietly in a daze as if she couldn't hear anything.

Seeing her state, Morgan stopped persuading her knowing that she wouldn't listen.

As he was about to leave, Elaine suddenly asked, "Morgan, why did he pretend to be Dr. Perkins?"

They looked exactly alike but their temperament was absolutely different. She had once suspected that they were two different people, but she never thought that someone would disguise himself as Dr. Perkins.

She was so slow.

Looking up at Morgan, she demanded, "Why did he lie to me? Does he want something from me? But I'm just a lowly maid. What does he want from me?"

She was completely perplexed.

With a polite smile, Morgan said, "He has everything he wants, so he doesn't want anything from you."

Elaine's lips twitching, she looked down and didn't say anything.

Morgan continued, "Do you want to know Mr.

Bradbury's name?"

His remark made Elaine astounded...

Vincent...

It was obviosuly his name, but he lied to her saying that it wasn't. She blamed herself for being deceived like a fool.

As the agitation slowly raised inside her, she shook her head and roared, "No! Don't tell me his name! I don't want to know!"

Her reaction made Morgan flustered, realizing that she was quite hot-tempered.

"Mr. Bradbury, it's every man for himself," he thought.

Before he left, he blurted, "Vincent. His name is Vincent Bradbury. If you want to know when he'll be back, you can ask me."

Elaine had waited for nearly an hour, but Vincent was not home yet.

In fact, her stomach started growling.

The maid put the fruit on the table and left silently.

Seeing this, Elaine knew that it must be Morgan's order.

She tried to ignore it by turning her face away, but the sweet aroma of the fruits captivated her, and she couldn't resist the temptation.

No! She would not eat it!
