Although Mindy had warned her in advance, Miranda was still utterly shocked by the scene before her when she
stepped through the door.
She even stepped back outside to double-check, making sure it was indeed her own home. The light gray floor
was dirty with shoe prints and trash. People were chatting and snacking, littering the floor with peanut shells,
fruit peels, and wrappers, which they threw directly on the floor.
The walls that were once clean now bore two dirty footprints, probably left behind by a mischievous kid. The hum
of loud conversations made the villa feel like a hive of bees.
Miranda turned to Mindy with a questioning look. Her mom gave her a helpless smile, implying that things were
just how it seemed.
Miranda thought, “Is it possible to unsee it?”
Of course not, because a relative had already noticed her presence and immediately approached them with a
wide smile. “Oh my, are you Lionel’s daughter? You're all grown up and so beautiful? | heard you're a master
student at Bedford College? How capable!”
It's really Miranda! You've grown so tall. Are you married yet? Why are you still studying? You've been in school
for ages. If you're not careful, you might end up an old maid in the future!”
“It must be a long journey for you, right? Cand have speanuts!”
A group of relatives swamped her like they had just spotted a rare animal. They crowded around her and
chattered non-stop.

needed to use the bathroom.
She quickly went upstairs to her room. However, she found the door wide open when she got there. Miranda
couldn't stop herself from frowning and looked around her room. Fortunately, nothing had been touched. She
breathed a sigh of relief and shut the door, separating herself from the chaos outside.
Dinner had been taken care of by Mindy. She didn’t want to make dinner, and she felt sorry that Lionel would
have to cook after hosting these relatives for a whole day. Thus, she ordered takeout from a restaurant and had
the food delivered to their home.
The dozen or so guests were more than satisfied with the meal, However, the work of cleaning up and washing
the dishes still fell to Lionel.
When Penelope saw him tying on an apron and heading into the kitchen, she called out to him immediately,
“Lionel, what are you doing?”
“I'm going to clean up the kitchen.”
“How can a grown man like you be doing kitchen chores? Where's your wife?”
“She’s working.”
“Isn't she always at home? What kind of work needs to be done at night?”

Lionel tried to explain, “Mindy works from home. Her work can be done on a computer.”
Penelope said, “So, it's not an urgent job then. She could clean up the kitchen first before working. couldn't
she?”
“She doesn’t need to clean up. | usually clean up the kitchen myself..”
“What?”
Penelope raised her voice. “You mean to say that you do kitchen chores all the time?”
Lionel frowned. “What’s wrong with that? Whoever is free should do it. Does it matter who does the work?”
“You're the man of the house! As the head, you should be working outside the home. How could you be doing
chores in the kitchen?”
Lionel chuckled and said, “In our family, my wife is in charge of making the money.”
Penelope was stunned. Why did Lionel seem so smug about it?
