Chapter 184 Be Her Servant!
Mabel was about to say more but thought better of it. Nova kept comforting her smilingly, “Grandma, my love has been depleted by time and his indifference. So in any case, we are gonna go our separate ways eventually and there is no way anything would ever happen between us. Moreover, don’t you think we are better now to
be on speaking terms?” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
In the past three years, she felt smothered due to overwhelming pressure caused by the insult of her
mother–in–law and the detestation of her husband.
Now she didn’t have to stand the suffering and she felt even more relaxed than ever. She couldn’t care less.
what they do and say, she is concerned to protect the people she loves.
And grandma had no need to worry about her anymore.
Mabel sighed once more, “I abandoned, I’ll just leave it at that.”
Nova felt a sudden sense of reliel.
Even she was cheered up by Mabel’s words. Now that grandma had second thoughts on this matter, she could
be out of touch with Henry justifiably.
Every sight of Henry would depress her awfully and she could display her true color as long as she cut loose
from him.
Henry’s mouth tightened into a thin line as if he was keeping his emotions tightly reined in. But the abrupt
acceleration of the car betrayed his efforts.
Nova noticing nothing, continued her talk with Mabel. “Grandma, you just leave it out! The only thing you
should do is to spend quality time with your family. And I will visit
can come to see me in my house.”
“Well, well.” Though she said that, Mabel was deeply saddened.
you from time to time and if you like, you
Along their way back, Nová had been chatting with Mabel in case she was over–grieved. However, it was clear
that Mabel was sinking into a kind of unhappiness.
To nova’s satisfaction, grandma didn’t brood over the death of her little son.
Henry didn’t say a single word to Nova on their way back and drove the car straight to the King’s mansion. Nova helped Mabel get out of the car and when they walked past Henry, Mabel got into the house ignoring
him.
Henry was annoyed with their indifference, driving away in a fit of temper.
It was time for lunch when they got home, Mabel invited Nova to dine in with her. “Eat at home.”
Said Mabel.
Mabel intentionally said that to indicate that the King’s Mansion was Nova’s home as well.
Unwilling to displease Mabel, Nova said yes readily.
But, two figures came downstairs the very instant that she finished her words. Nova and Mabel looked up
together and found that it was Sian and Kelly.
The moment Kelly saw Nova, she held the handrail with all her might as if she’d kill her for two pins! If it
wasn’t for Nova the bitch, she wouldn’t become a spectacle of herself in front of so many big shots! Her heartbeat quickened as she thought but she had only to bite her lip now.
Slag!
Sooner or later she would make her fall into disrepute! Living a lowly life and being reduced to her servant!
Seeing Mabel, Sian came forward and beamed. “Mom, you have returned early. How about your trip to the
Abbey? Is everything going well?”
Mabel nodded an answer. Kelly was behind Sian, her eyes roaming the room and searching for Henry furtively. But she dared not to query. “Greetings, grandma.” Said Kelly with trepidation.
Giving a nod, Mabel greeted her distantly. “Greetings, Miss Kelly.”
Mabel’s aloof reply made Kelly’s expression alter faintly and Sian also felt embarrassed for her. In an attempt.
to lighten the atmosphere, Sian allowed herself a wry smile. “Mom, Kelly was acquainted with us, just like
Nova, so you could affectionately call her Kelly.”
