Chapter 14
Then she quickly nodded and said, “Alright… but is there
anything else you’d like?”
Wendi left the decision to Juliana. “Juliana, you can order
whatever you want.”
Juliana smiled. “Dinner should be light to keep a good figure.
Let’s go with some vegetables. Grover, remember you brought
them to me once? They were light and delicious!”
Eunice was speechless.
As she watched the three of them laugh and chat as they walked
into the living room, Eunice’s expression grew troubled as she
left the villa.
Once outside, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
They had both ordered regular home–style dishes.
But the dishes happened to be Tracie’s specialties.
When Tracie lived in the house, she took care of all the meals for
Grover and Wendi, while the maids, including Eunice, had
nothing to do and lived like pampered wives.
Chapter 14
They hadn’t thought much about it back then. But now, with
Tracie gone for a week, they realized that Wendi and Grover’s
tastes had been completely spoiled by her cooking.
With Agnes just fired, Eunice didn’t want to be the next to go, so
she thought about calling Tracie for some advice.
Tracie had always been respectful toward them. Surely, if she
called, Tracie would be surprised and appreciate it, right?
But after she dialed four times and receiving no answer, Tracie’s
phone went straight to voicemail.
Eunice muttered angrily, “Tracie, how dare you ignore my calls?
She’s really gone too far!”
After venting, Eunice returned to the living room and explained
to the three of them, “I’m sorry, but the supermarket didn’t have
any good steak, and the vegetables weren’t fresh. Can we have
something else for dinner today?”
Wendi’s face immediately fell. “No steak again? I really hate my mom! She goes out and doesn’t come back. Why didn’t she buy
the steak I love and leave it at home?”
Eunice stayed silent, not daring to respond.
Juliana, maintaining her calm demeanor, looked at Eunice. “Go ahead and cook. I’ll keep Wendi company!”
Chapter 14
“Thank you Mrs. Stanton.” Even though Juliana wasn’t officially
Mrs. Stanton yet, Eunice knew addressing her this way would
please her.
“It’s nothing,” Juliana smiled warmly.
Then, she smoothly changed the subject. “Wendi, come here, I’ll
teach you some rock climbing tips.”
“Okay!” Wendi immediately forgot about the beef tenderloin.
At dinner, the three of them sat together, laughing and chatting,
just like a happy family of three.
In the kitchen, the four housemaids were watching, and one of
the newer ones, still confused, asked Eunice, “I’m a little lost–who
exactly is Wendi’s mom?”
Eunice sneered. “Of course, it’s Ms. Everett! Tracie… she doesn’t
deserve to be Wendi’s mom or Grover’s wife.”
Just then, Grover’s phone rang. When he picked it up, he saw it
was Tracie calling.
He frowned and answered the call. “What is it?” he asked, his
voice cool and detached.
Tracie got straight to the point. “Mr. Stanton, come out and meet
me!”
Chapter 14
She could no longer tolerate the constant phone calls from the
Stanton family. Her schedule was packed–she had design work
to finish and several important meetings to attend. She was so
pressed for time that she had to schedule her meals, yet the
Stanton family’s housemaids kept calling her.
None of them treated her like the lady of the Stanton family.
They all acted as if she were invisible.
How was it that, even after she left the Stanton family, they still
felt the need to call her repeatedly?
Were they trying to reconnect?
Tracie didn’t have time for that.
She needed to speak with Grover directly and make it clear that,
from now on, she didn’t want to be bothered by anything
related to the Stanton family.
Not even the housemaids.
And, more importantly, she had to ask him when he would get
the divorce papers.
