Chapter 6. The mean maid

It was not that Keelin was intentionally drunk, but she was drunk by her friends.

And Lars, the quiet student at that time looked at her so drunk that her face turned red, so he couldn't control himself.

After that night, Lars immediately regretted it. He was afraid that she would hate him because of this accident and avoid him. But unexpectedly, the situation completely deviated from Lars's prediction, Keelin took advantage of this incident to force him to get married.

'Forced' but Lars was overjoyed, for the first time in nearly three hundred years he felt that joy, a joy that spread from within. But in both joy and fear, Lars did not forget, that he was a vampire, but Keelin was just an ordinary human, two people incapable of coming together. He wanted to be comfortable in love with her, but he dared not approach her. Therefore, despite being married for three years, he still kept his cold attitude and never slept with her again.

Seeing Keelin helpless and sad, Lars was heartbroken, but he still tried to control his emotions. He thinks that his love for her is to hurt her.

For the first time, Lars felt ten years this long.

Fortunately, God has eyes, Keelin is the little girl Cherub that day. No one knows how excited Lars was when he saw the necklace appear on Keelin's neck. He just wanted to rush in and love her, then tell her with all his heart. His desire to have her grows every second.

But Lars also knew that Keelin needed time to fully accept his new identity. So he was not in a hurry, he chose to go on a business trip to give her time to think carefully and mentally prepare to receive his feelings. Although Keelin said that she loved Lars for a long time, before that, it was all one-sided love, she had never received it in return, so she would not know how strong his feelings were. Wait until he comes back, everything will be different.

Sitting on a private plane, Lars looked out the window, the golden sunlight crept between the clear blue sky.

“Cherub… Kee… wait for me, I'll be back soon”

***

Informed of Keelin's return, the people working in the Ramos mansion knew what they meant and told each other to work. Since the change happens in less than half a month, everything can be easily arranged.

Keelin dropped onto the sofa, a familiar image of Mrs.Ramos. As usual, butler Sera brought Keelin a plate of pre-peeled fruit on the table for Keelin. She didn't hesitate to take a piece of apple and bring it to her mouth.

Feeling the sweetness spreading in her mouth, Keelin really enjoyed it, her eyes looking at Sera gratefully.

In the Ramos mansion for three years, although she did not have the love of Lars, she did have the love and care of the people who worked there. Especially Sera, the housekeeper of the mansion, she treats her like a little daughter, taking care of her very thoughtfully and carefully. This makes Keelin feel a lot warmer when living in a large but cold, unfamiliar place like the Ramos mansion.

Sera also looked at Keelin with a gentle smile. She had no husband and children, her whole life was destined to belong to the Ramos family. But Lars is a cold-blooded vampire, Sera and he has known for many years but the way he treats her is always the same, coldly caring. Therefore, Keelin's appearance was like a warm fire in the cold forest.

Keelin has no job and few friends, so her free time is a lot. Therefore, in addition to running after Lars, she also often comes to talk to and care about the people working in the mansion. Sometimes she even works with them, a rich lady who is not afraid of difficulties and dirt, but lives in the same place as the lower classes. It is not difficult to understand why the people in the Ramos mansion love her so much.

However, not everyone is like that.

Keelin glanced over Sera's shoulder, barely seeing a maid with a chubby face and short hair.

Recently busy with divorce, and more trouble with love affairs, Keelin has neglected a lot of other things, including this maid. Her name is Isolde, she's the one that Clara, Lars's ex-fiancée installed in this mansion. In the past, Clara and Lars were engaged because of cooperation between families, who would have thought that Keelin suddenly appeared out of nowhere to cut off this relationship. Originally, Keelin wasn't that bold, but when she learned that Lars was engaged for a career, not for love, her liver suddenly became bigger. Fortunately for her, the Morales family was quite large, and strong, and at the same time the contract between Lars and the Diaz family ended, so it did not cause too much of an impact.

However, Clara still doesn't seem to want to give up, and wants to stick with Lars, so she sends Isolde to the mansion.

These things were previously ignored by Keelin because of her cold relationship with Lars, the owner of the mansion. But now it's different, her concern about love affairs is not as much as before, besides, her position as Mrs. Ramos has been confirmed more clearly thanks to the contract between her and Lars.

So, there are some things that Keelin has to deal with, not to mention responsibility, at least to release the anger she has suffered for the past three years. The starting point would be this maid.

“Isolde!” Keelin called out.

Hearing Keelin's voice, Isolde remained standing still, her face still cold, not enthusiastic, not even respectful of her superiors.

Sera saw Isolde's attitude and frowned. She also knew Isolde's identity, she took on the name of Clara's person to enter the mansion, but was not chased by Lars, so she was extremely bossy.

Actually, there's a reason for it all. Lars didn't punish or fire Isolde because, with her here, Clara wouldn't come and cause trouble. At the same time, Isolde also makes it harder for Keelin to meet Lars, the two of them rarely see each other, and their feelings will decrease. Of course, that was before Keelin knew Lars was a vampire, and now he just wished he could see her every moment.

Back to Isolde, this maid is very mean, she not only interferes in Keelin and Lars' meetings but also uses her words to trample on Keelin's dignity and honor, but Keelin still patiently endured it. Sera reminded her many times, but she still hasn't changed. If it weren't for Isolde's unique identity and Lars' hot and cold attitude, Sera would have chased her away long ago.

However, at present, Sera is also the few who know Lars's secret as well as the reason why Keelin returned to the mansion, so she did not simply show the same attitude as before, but immediately shouted

“Isolde! Are you acting disrespectful? Didn't you hear the lady calling? Come quickly.”

Isolde saw Sera openly teaching her for the first time, a bit surprised, then immediately shouted back:

“Calling should also be slow, I'm a human but a dog can't walk that fast.” While saying that, Isolde stomped her steps forward.

Hearing Isolde's words, Sera's wrinkled face turned slightly red with anger, she was just about to scold her when Keelin suddenly stopped her.

Waiting for Isolde to approach the sofa, Keelin suddenly stood up, before everyone's surprise she turned to face Isolde, raised her hand and

Slap!

An extremely loud sound resounded, enough for everyone to see how strong that slap was.
