"They had had it rough their whole lives, but even so, after Old Master Shaw had passed away, Gloria still kept kneeling here to mourn for his passing. On the other hand, what about those people that we've once helped before? Jennie Gibson? Lori Gibson? Eva Yerbury as well. They are far away abroad, but how far can that be? After Old Master Shaw has passed, Eva and her parents didn't even return to mourn and pay their last respect. That's heartbreaking enough."
Hearing his mother being so emotional, Marcus immediately comforted and persuaded his mother. "Mom, you can't blame Eva and her parents for this matter as well. You have to know that when Eva went abroad, she was only five years old. She may not even know how to speak English anymore. Also, she was a child who had left the Shaw family when she was five. How much attachment would she have to the Shaw family? Let's talk about Eva's parents then. Her father has arthritis, and her mother has to take care of him all year long. The family of three's lives abroad is also not easy. Haven't Keegan, Caelus, and Lokni spoken of it before when they returned? Eva's parents wanted to come back. The main thing was to pay their last respects to the old man. The other thing they wanted to do was to come back and visit you and Dad. Eva's parents had served Dad back then. They miss him very much, but they just couldn't come back."
It was only then that Marcus' parents let it go. His father, in particular, suddenly smiled warmly. "I miss them as well. I wonder if I'll be able to see them again in this lifetime. Even if they can't come back, It would be fine as well if Eva is able to.
Counting it now, that girl should be thirty years old now, right?"
Marcus nodded. "That's right. I'll show you her picture now."
As Marcus said that, he took out his phone and showed his parents Eva's pictures.
Yvonne was there as well at that time. She also saw Eva's pictures. Eva indeed looked beautiful and cool. She looked very stylish.
Yvonne smiled while looking at her own husband and her in-laws. "To put it nicely, she is my sister-in-law. We have to uphold the Shaw family's traditions. We still have to be good to the maids in our family. We can't have any prejudices against them. Everyone is equal. It's just the jobs that are different. Besides, look at Eva now, how outstanding. If Eva were to return to South City one day, perhaps Marcus and I would feel inferior about ourselves instead. Right, Marcus?"
Marcus brushed Yvonne's nose, smiling." Would you feel inferior? You're a little firecracker. It's impossible for you to feel inferior in front of anybody. Don't forget that you are the true lady of the house. The entire Shaw Residence will be yours in the future! No matter who comes over, you have to act the part of the young lady of the house. Even if Eva were to come back, even if she had studied abroad, as long as she returns to the Shaw Residence, she is still the daughter of the Shaw family’s maid. You, on the other hand, are the lady of the house for the Shaw family. Do you understand?"
Marcus looked at Yvonne very seriously.
Yvonne smiled with extreme happiness. "I got it, young master of the house!"
That was the casual conversation the family had a few days ago. Nobody had ever expected that just a few days after they mentioned Eva, she truly returned. Also, it was baffling that she appeared in front of the door to Sebastian’s office. It was even more incredulous that she was able to raise her hand and slap Yvonne so easily. That was one heck of a greeting.
Yvonne covered her cheek with disbelief and grievances. "You...how dare you slap me?"
