Jessica hastily let go of Claire's hand when they reached the dining table. She took her seat quietly.Butler John stood there with a cold face as he glared daggers at Claire.Claire ignored his gaze and took her seat next to Jessica, who was a little bit nervous. Scarlett had already given Claire control when they were descending the stairs, so it was Claire controlling her body at that moment. Claire wondered what the old butler had done to both Jessica and Jeffrey for them to be this scared of him. It seemed unusual.Ethan was quietly eating his food. He raised his head to glance at Claire for a mere second before he returned his gaze to his food.Claire also ignored it and proceeded to eat. However, she realized something which didn't sit well with her, and she asked…“Why are you both eating as if you are being forced to eat?” Her question was actually meant for Jeffrey and Jessica. The two siblings together with Ethan looked at her in silence. Jessica tried using her eyes to
After sitting and chatting for a while, Claire decided to go to sleep because it was getting late and she was feeling sleepy. Jeffrey and Jessica also decided to go to bed too.After spending some time with Claire, the two siblings started to grow a liking to her.Jeffrey really enjoyed her company more than he had anticipated. “Goodnight Claire,” Jessica said and kissed her cheek before she left for her room.“Thanks for your help, Claire. You are amazing.” Jeffrey said and even winked at her.Claire laughed at him and even became teary but hid it. It really felt good to have people around her, who didn't see her as a burden and didn't call her names.After Jeffrey left, Claire glanced at a certain door and saw the light inside was on, indicating that Ethan was still awake.Claire didn't know whether he likes coffee or tea. However, judging from his cold demeanor, Claire declared that he might enjoy strong coffee without sugar or milk. So, she prepared hot coffee when no one was ar
Both Ethan and Claire's eyes instantly turned to the door and saw Butler John standing there in shock.But his shock was immediately replaced by anger as he asked furiously, “What do you think you are both doing?!”“What the heck? Don't you know how to knock?” Claire said impatiently as she got up from Ethan's body with a little blush on her face. She stood up and placed both her hands on her waist as she glared daggers at Butler John. Ethan also stood up and put his hands in his pocket before he asked Butler John coldly, “What are you doing here? Why didn't you knock before you entered?”His eyes were so cold as he also glared daggers at the butler. The butler was momentarily stunned. Facing the four pairs of cold gazes on him, he was out of words and didn't know what to say. Or more accurately, he forgot the reason he came into the studies in the first place.The way both Ethan and Claire were acting, the butler felt like he had intercepted something he wasn't supposed to. He felt
Claire was surprised and petrified at the food on the dining table.Everything was basically only vegetables without any side food. The breakfast was more suitable for vegetarians or those celebrities who want to maintain their bodies in good shape and those who are on a diet.Claire, though being with them for just a day understood based on the dinner they had the night before that, none of the siblings are vegetarian.“Don't act as if you own this house. If you don't like it, you can go and eat outside. This is the family recipe for breakfast.” Butler, John snorted coldly.Claire has undoubtedly become one of his worst enemies. He didn't know who this girl came from and why Ethan indulge her despite her rude attitude.Whilst he was in his thoughts, Ethan took in a sharp breath. His eyes were cold and bloodshot. His patience was gradually running because of this stupid butler and his cruel grandfather, who would blink even if he has to kill someone. However, before Ethan could scold
"What the heck is going on?" Claire asked in confusion but no one answered her.“Oh shut up! A stranger like you wouldn't understand. And besides, this is a family matter. You just arrived here yesterday and you already consider yourself a member of this family. As a stranger, you sure don't behave as such. Hmph!” Butler, John said with a snort.From the look of things, it seems he and Claire will always fight whenever they meet each other.“Oh really? Do you mean you are a Richardson too? Don't forget, you are just a mere dog for the old man. And yes, I meddle as long as it concern Ethan. Didn't forget, he's my benefactor. I can't be ungrateful to him!” Claire also spat furiously at the butler. There was no way she was going to allow this old butler to undermine her. NEVER!“You--” Butler John still wanted to say something, but Ethan yelled coldly…“ENOUGH!!!” With his authoritative tone, everyone became silent.Ethan closed his eyes tightly for s few seconds before he opened them to
After their breakfast, Ethan left to meet those who he had an appointment with, whilst Claire and Jessica went to the house garden. Jeffrey, on the other hand, went to his room to study. He's always fighting and studying hard to get first place. He can't afford to fail in his academics. Old Master Richardson would definitely use that as an excuse to punish Ethan instead of him.Thus, Jeffrey had to study twice his average. Moreover, it is his greatest dream to help his brother at the company after he completes University. Since Claire came into the house at night, she wasn't able to check the house out. So, after having their breakfast, she asked Jessica to show her around the house, which the latter gladly did.After touring the big house for almost an hour, Claire felt tired and returned to her room to take a nap.Just as she was about to close her eyes, she saw Jessica peaked her head through her door.“Jess…?” Claire called her out.“Hey, do you mind if I take a nap with you?”
Several alarmed questions ran through her head at that moment. However, something entirely different happened. Ethan opened his eyes after some time and stared coldly at the girl in front of him. He wondered if she might have done it on purpose.Though he knew very well that it was unintentional. However, he still couldn't understand why she would suddenly spit on him out of nowhere. Did he do something wrong to her? 'This girl really has some guts' he thought.“I'm so sorry, Ethan. I didn't mean to. I'm genuinely sorry. Actually, it wasn't my fault. Mia said something stupid which made me…" She paused and looked at Jeffrey before she continued.“I was thinking about something funny. I'm genuinely sorry. I didn't mean to spit my water on you. It was unintentional.” Claire said and hurriedly went to her bedside and picked up many tissues and rushed back to wipe Ethan's face and clothes. Ethan then understood something. Mia might have said something to her which made her spat the water
The day went by in a blink of an eye and it was already Sunday evening. Jessica and Jeffrey were on high alert with every movement because of the hell they were about to go in.Ethan had his cold and poker face on as usual. He kept looking at his watch from time to time impatiently as he waited downstairs. “Jess, when do you think she would be ready? We've been waiting for her for almost an hour now. I think brother might explode any moment from now if she doesn't come out.” Jeffrey whispered into Jessica's ear but was loud enough for Ethan to hear.“I don't know what's taking her so long. She's supposed to be done by now. Let me go and check on her.” Jessica whispered back and was about to go and call Claire when Butler John appeared in front of them.“You are still here? Why? I thought you would have gone by now. I'm even on my way.” He said and looked at the three siblings inquisitive as if he was their father. Ethan glared coldly at him but didn't say anything. He checked his wa
