Housewife 1960 Novels & Stories

Everyone's eyes were glued to the screen, eager to see how my victory in the first trial could be justified in this retrial. The screen showed footage from my memories, taking everyone back to the months when Hazel was pregnant. "Dear, the household expenses are piling up. Since Mom is here to help me, you should work harder and earn some extra money," she said. I had just come home from work and was washing dishes in the kitchen. Hearing her, I smiled softly and said, "Alright. Don't worry about a thing. Just rest and take care of yourself and our baby. I'll make sure our baby never goes hungry."

I really had no idea. But judging by these photographs, she was living a dull life. She didn’t have a job, and the only thing she did was walk down the market to gather food to cook meals for her and her brother. She busied herself taking care of the house and the laundry. She was basically a housewife in the 1800s. No way she could be happy.

Who’d instead treated me like an unpaid servant in my own grandfather’s house. Memories crashed over me. Age eleven, scrubbing floors until my hands bled while my cousins watched television. Age thirteen, wearing my dead mother’s old clothes because Aunt Margot said I didn’t deserve new ones. Age fifteen, eating leftovers in the kitchen after everyone else had finished because “charity cases don’t sit at the family table.” Age seventeen, finally escaping to Lawyer Whitmore’s house, leaving with nothing but the clothes on my back and trauma that would take years to unpack.

“It’s hard to make the food I can eat tasty, but she always did. I don’t know what witchcraft she had to practice for it.” He poked at the food, and I could swear that I could see his eyes start to water. “She was a really good housewife too. The house was always clean when she was there, positively spotless. Everywhere I looked it felt like a model apartment, a house just ready for a photoshoot. I swear if we weren’t keeping the marriage a secret, I won’t have hesitated to call some lifestyle magazine to do a piece on the place because that’s how neat and stylish it was.”

It isn't locked. Of course! Her husband was a free spirit who hardly cared about his life. Sleeping in a stranger's house was bad enough. Mrs Contreras opened the door and crept in. Her husband was sadly snoring away. It's 6 for goodness sake. She ruffled her husband badly to get him up as quick as she could. There was no time to waste if Ema ever had a past here, it was foolish to keep staying anywhere that could trigger back her lost memories.

, she said to her husband with a soft gaze and he smiled back at her while nodding his head. Her heart was aching seeing her jolly husband sad and worried like this. He hardly seems this stressed and even if he is he never let it come on his face. She was feeling bad for her husband and feared thinking about his health. Hiding her own tensions she asked one of her maid to bring water for her husband with some light snacks. She knows he won't touch anything but for his health sake she needs to make it happen. When the food arrived she looked at Farha who was silently staring the couple standing in front of them.

“You may call me Edward, Mrs Shaw. And it was my wife who headed the decoration company that made this stunning beauty happen. I agree with you, it is indeed very stunning.” Natalia nods and accepts his hand. “You may call me Natalia, Edward.” She smiles warmly at him. “And bravo to your wife for doing such a great job.” “And this is Mrs Wallbanger and Miss DuPont. This man here is Mr Razier.” Noah continues. “Everyone, this is my wife, Mrs Natalia Shaw.” Natalia smiles and looks at all of them with a smile on her face. “I am pleased to meet you all.”

But the first steps had been taken. One mystery still hung in the air; Sarah, the missing nanny. Martha claimed she didn’t know the woman was planted. She said George brought her in, and she simply trusted that choice. Bella and Jason didn’t fully believe her. She had been used but she had also let herself be used.

I replied after taking a sip of my hot chocolate "but I'm going to have a quiet evening in tonight. I have a bunch of leftovers I need to eat before my dad gets back." And I needed to clean the house so that it didn't look like a bomb had hit it when my father walked through the door. That would be a disaster. "Alright, dear," she smiled sweetly as she wiped her hands on her frilly pink apron. She's basically what I imagine a 1950's housewife to be like, minus the curlers and bright red lipstick. Come to think of it, I've never seen her in pants of any kind, so maybe she's taking her cues from a history book.
