Chapter 71

“Are you still not going to work?”

I rolled my eyes at Maia who asked me that almost ten times already. I sat properly on the sofa as I looked at her on the mat, playing with Flannel.

“You asked me that almost ten times now,” I said. She sighed.

“I’m just asking. I mean, I thought you’re going to work now, huh?”

I raised a brow at her. “After what she did earlier and after she sided with Karrie and Greg without even hearing me? She just pissed me off, Maia,” I said coldly.

I saw her looking at me intently before sighing. “Oh, Felice…”

“Who is it, Mommy? Who’s pissing you off?” Maia and I went silent when we heard that from Flannel. I even gulped hard when she looked at me with those innocent eyes. I cleared my throat.

“Uhh, it’s nothing, baby. Just some people.” I shrugged and even smiled just to make it casual.

“Who?” she asked again. I bit my lip. Maia and I looked at each other as I scratched my head. Oh gosh, this kid has so many questions! I sighed and just shook my head.
