They will do anything to achieve their goals, and they do not care about the consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Whitney doesn\u2019t say anything, which means she has accepted Lawrence\u2019s suggestion.<\/p>\n<p>I feel uneasy as Whitney is going to cheat Frances with another man\u2019s child.<\/p>\n<p>After a few minutes, the door of Whitney\u2019s room opened.<\/p>\n<p>In case that they find me eavesdropping, I stay in my room and don\u2019t go out the whole afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>However, I fail to fall asleep after hearing the breaking news.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s about six o\u2019clock when I go downstairs. I can stand hunger, but the baby needs food.<\/p>\n<p>Frances won\u2019t stop me from entering the kitchen now. I can make some simple dishes by myself.<\/p>\n<p>Whitney is sitting on the sofa with a faint smile on her face. It seems that she is in a good mood after knowing that the child is still in her belly. When she sees me going downstairs, she is shocked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou were upstairs? What did you hear?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat? I was sleeping.\u201d I look at her with innocent eyes, pretending to know nothing.<\/p>\n<p>If Whitney finds out that I heard what they said, she might kill me.<\/p>\n<p>Whitney stares at me, probably judging whether I am telling the truth or not. After a while, she rolls his eyes at me and murmurs, \u201cAlright. Prepare some more food when you cook, Frances will have dinner at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not a servant, so I don\u2019t need to listen to Whitney. But I am not in the mood to argue with her. I go straight to the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>The smell of cooking fume made me sick. In the middle of cooking, I can\u2019t help but run to vomit at the garbage can.<\/p>\n<p>Whitney also realizes it and puts down her chopsticks. She shouts at me, \u201cWhat are you doing? You\u2019re not pregnant. Why do you make everything sour?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, she is trying to cover it up, but I don\u2019t nail her lie.<\/p>\n<p>None of them eat. It\u2019s indeed a bit embarrassing. Just as I am wondering what to do, I hear a sweet voice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are you guys eating? My mouth is watering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Silvia walks over with a sweet smile and holds my arm. \u201cSister-in-law, did you make all these?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitney\u2019s expression immediately changes.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m so embarrassed.<\/p>\n<p>Silvia does see Whitney and she still calls me sister-in-law. I feel something is about to happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-257","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
