Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 832

Sceuc Whary.

This was Elaine's hometown.

It was a small town with a small population, so the news would spread like wildfire instantly here if anything happened.

Therefore, when she got home, the entire neighborhood knew about her return.

Her family lived in a small shop. Her parents operated a small snack shop on the first floor while the entire family lived on the second floor.

When she went home, Nyla, the vendor who was selling fruits next door, greeted her, "Oh, Elaine! Why did you come back all of a sudden?"

With a polite smile, Elaine asked, "Hi, Nyla. Is my mom home?"

"We chatted for a while this morning, and I think someone asked her to play cards at noon, so she closed the shop and went. She didn't come back yet?"

"No, the door is closed..."

The door of the shop was a roller shutter door and it was locked. Elaine didn't have the key, so she couldn't go in.

Nyla quickly invited her into her shop. "Come here and sit. I'll call your mom and ask her to come back quickly."

"Thank you, Nyla."

"You're welcome."

After entering Nyla's house, she took out a chair for her to sit. "Here's some fresh fruits. Eat some."

Nyla took out the cut fruit and placed it in front of her.

"Thanks, but I'll just wait. You can keep it."

Donning a warm smile, Nyla knew that she was always sensible and down-to-earth, so she quickly went to the cashier to make a phone call.

When the phone was connected, Nyla asked for her mom, and after a while, the person at the other end of the line said, "She said that she's busy, so she'll talk to you after she goes home."

Elaine's mother enjoyed playing cards, and she wouldn't end her game abruptly once she started playing.

But she was waiting for her to open the door.

Nyla said to the phone, "Tell her that her daughter is back and ask her to come back soon."

"Wait," the person on the other end uttered, and after a while, the same voice sounded, "She said that she can't leave now and to let the girl come and get the key by herself. It's a bad omen to end the game after only two rounds."

After that, the person growled impatiently, "Anything else? I'll hang up now."

With that, he immediately ended the call.

Holding the phone awkwardly, Nyla lamented, "Your mom said that she can't come back now, so she asked you to go get the keys from her..."

Nodding, Elaine stood up and said, "Okay. Thank you, Nyla."

"You're welcome. You know the way, right? It's the poker room where your mother often goes."

"I know."

"Okay. You'd better go quickly then."

"Hmm."

After Elaine left, Nyla sighed pitifully.

It was a well-known fact that it was Elaine who supported her entire family financially all this while, but they had been treating her badly.

The neighbors often wished that they could have such an obedient and sensible daughter who could earn money in their family.

They wouldn't treat her so badly for sure.

It was such a pity.

When Elaine came to the poker room, she could hear her mom complaining even before she stepped in, "You again! Why do you always win?!"

"It's my lucky day today. Sorry."

"Enough with your bullshit! Hurry, another round. No one is allowed to leave the table until I win!"
