Chapter 169
On the way home, Noah was focused on driving, but Elizabeth seemed worried. Margaret asked, “What‘s wrong, Elizabeth?” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Elizabeth glanced at her and replied sheepishly, “Tabby has suffered from a bone fracture the night you got into trouble. The next day, Mr. Lewis sent it to the vet. It‘s fine and currently recuperating well. There‘s someone taking care of it to make sure it eats and drinks well every day. No one took notice of Tabby that night. Don‘t be upset, Meg...”
Suddenly, Margaret recalled how Christopher called Tabby a fool in the ward. Comprehension dawned, and she said, “It‘s fine. I‘m glad Tabby is still alive. It was my fault for not taking care of it. I‘m an irresponsible owner. I couldn‘t protect myself, let alone Tabby.”
Elizabeth was relieved to hear her words. Soon, the car came to a stop before the Lewis residence. Margaret‘spotted a red sports car parked by the side of the road when she got off the car. As she wasn‘t familiar with cars, she didn‘t know the brand of the sports car. However, it seemed expensive. It was the first time a car attracted
Thus, she halted in her tracks to gaze at the car. Right then, a young lady cladded in red skintight leather dress and leather jacket stepped out of the sports car. Her red heels matched her outfit, and there were even a few red streaks in her hair. It was a
color that people could rarely pull off, but the young lady had managed to look striking in the color with her curvaceous body,
The lady strode toward her and came to a stop before Margaret. Taking off her shades, she said, “Hello, my name is Nina Moore. I need to lodge at the Lewis residence for some time. Christopher doesn‘t seem to be around. May I know who you are?”
Finding the name familiar, Margaret studied Nina‘s heavily made–up face for some time before coming to a realization. “Oh, you‘re Mr. Moore‘s daughter.”
That was right. This young lady was none other than Charles‘ daughter, Nina Moore. Margaret happened to join Christopher on a business trip once and heard Charles mention her name during dinner.
Charles was well acquainted with the Lewis family. Therefore, he was well respected by Christopher, who treated him as an elderly figure.
Nina flashed a wide grin. “I‘m glad you know who I am. The bodyguard refused to let me in, so I had to wait outside. Christopher didn‘t answer his phone either. I figured he‘s busy.”
Margaret told the bodyguard to open the door, and Nina went to drag a huge suitcase out of her trunk. As she didn‘t ask for help, Margaret had a great impression of her. Nina could be a model with her great proportions and height. She‘s even taller than me!
After entering the house, Nina placed her suitcase aside and plopped onto the couch. “Oh, how. tiring. The plane ride was over ten hours, and I didn‘t manage to rest until now. Hey, you haven‘t introduced yourself to me. How should I address you?”
Elizabeth answered on Margaret‘s behalf. “She‘s the lady of the house and Mr. Lewis‘ wife. Her name is Margaret Sullivan. You can address her in any way you deem as polite. Ms. Moore, do you want to take a shower? I‘ll clear the guest room for you. We
know about it later.
Sensing the displeasure in Elizabeth‘s voice, Margaret couldn‘t help but wonder why she seemed to dislike Nina.
Nina didn‘t seem to realize anything. “Oh, all right. That sounds great. Where is the bathroom?”
Elizabeth pointed at a bathroom downstairs. “There it is. There are two bathrooms downstairs. We have many employees here, and they usually shower in the bathrooms.”
Nina frowned at her answer. “It is shared by the employees? Where is Christopher‘s room? I‘ll go shower in his room. He is a clean freak, so he must have a private bathroom that he uses solely.”
Elizabeth immediately said, “Yes, Mr. Lewis is a clean freak. Mrs. Lewis doesn‘t even use his bathroom that often, so why would you get to use it? Besides, it isn‘t appropriate. Just use the one downstairs.”
