Before Olivia could make sense of the situation, Janice had already walked away, leaving Olivia
confused.
Olivia batted her eyes at Ethan and whispered, “What is your mother thinking?”
“Come try some authentic Grovale cuisine.” Ethan didn’t answer her question. Instead, he led her to the
dining room. Janice was already seated when they entered. She glanced at their interlaced fingers, and
her gaze froze momentarily. Nikki brought over a bowl of soup and saw Ethan pulling out a chair for
Olivia. He sat down after Olivia took her seat.
Then, he brought the appetizer, which was placed quite far away, before Olivia.
If he was just putting on a show as a loving husband in public, why would he do it here when there
were no outsiders?
There was only one explanation. It was how the two of them interacted on a daily basis, like a regular
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcouple.
Looking back at herself, Nikki was trying to curry favor with Janice, but she ended up looking like a
cook.
She put the soup down and said to Olivia with a pitiable expression, “Ms. Fordham, I envy you so
much. You married Ethan, and you’re still acting like you’re a guest in the house.”
Nikki was trying to insult Olivia, but Olivia wasn’t fazed.
Olivia smiled and said, “I can’t help it. I never liked doing chores. I’m not as talented and kind as you,
Ms. Shaw. You do better work than the maids, and you do it for free.”
Olivia was basically saying that Nikki was free labor. That gave Nikki more to say.
She glanced at Ethan shyly.
The difference between her and Olivia should be apparent. She was hardworking, kind, gentle, and
considerate. Olivia was just
a lazy woman.
Ethan raised his chin and said coldly, “Get out of my sight.”
Nikki was upset. She looked at Janice and said, “Ms. Procter, look how…”
Janice said emotionlessly, “You should go home. The meal is served, after all.”
Nikki’s eyes widened. “But… But I haven’t eaten yet.”
She thought she had heard wrong. Surely, Janice wouldn’t ask her to leave.
“It’s a family dinner tonight. You shouldn’t be here.”
Janice was insinuating that Nikki was an outsider.
Nikki was in disbelief. She treated Janice with care, but she was met with such indifference.
She helped out in the kitchen the entire afternoon to curry favor with Janice and didn’t even get to eat a
bite yet.
But Nikki had been by Janice’s side for two years. She had figured out Janice’s personality.
Maybe it was because Janice had been traumatized before, but she didn’t trust anyone and was
indifferent to most things.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNikki quickly recovered. She put up an understanding demeanor and said, “Alright, I’ll visit you next
time. I’ll be taking my leave, Ms. Procter.”
Nikki rolled her eyes at Olivia before she left.
She failed in currying favor with Janice after two years. Olivia wasn’t going to change Janice.
Olivia waved and said, “Goodbye, Ms. Shaw.”
The room fell into silence. Ethan was a man of few words. Janice was even less talkative.
Olivia sat in her seat uneasily. What was wrong with these two? Weren’t they apart for a long time?
Why weren’t they saying anything to each other?
Olivia didn’t eat much at all. But it wasn’t anyone’s fault. It was because she was already full.
Janice looked at her and said, “Don’t force yourself to eat.”
Olivia wanted to say that she was hungry and could eat more.
Janice wiped her mouth with a tissue and said, “Spaghetti, mashed potatoes, hamburger, shrimp, tuna
salad, salmon sandwich, and meatballs. Did you digest all that already?”
Olivia was at a loss for words.
