"They are the closest thing I have to a family. I may not be in any way related to them in terms of blood, but for once in my life, I treated them as my own family as well. I basically grew up with them yet they ran away, together with all my money. The inheritance that my parents left to me, they took it from me and left me buried in their debts instead."
When Abby was once again reminded of the money that she lost as well as the supposed opportunity to give her life a change, her heart ached.
But knowing that there was no point thinking about the things that she did not have control over with, Abby chose to only put it at the back of her mind.
Jorah felt sorry towards Abby when he heard her story and so he told the other party something that he reckoned would cheer her up at least.
"Don't worry little girl, things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end,
Abby and Jorah were busy cuddling with one another. There was still some work left for them to do but they were almost done.They were just having a good rest when all of a sudden, they heard an explosion coming from the kitchen.'BOOM!'Abby and Jorah found themselves staring at one another after they heard the sound and they saw the same shocked and perplexed expression reflecting in each of their own faces."I wonder what could possibly the cause of that explosion?"Jorah though out loud as they hurriedly made their way to the kitchen to come and check for the source of the explosion.When they arrived, they saw Eugene standing in front of the kitchen top. He had his back on them that was why he had no idea that the
Meanwhile, when Abby heard the other party's abrupt accusation towards her, she was flabbergasted."Mine?! How come it became my fault?! I don't even have an idea that you are cooking here until we heard the explosion."Abby rebutted but Eugene only used her same words against her."Precisely! And that is your biggest mistake. You are supposed to be a servant in this house. It is your task to serve me. You are the one who should take care of all of this. Yet I was forced to cook my own meal!""But I was cleaning back then????"Abby argued back."So??? Is it my fault then?? Is it my fault that you wake up late? I am the master here and you are the servant. Do you suggest that I should be the one to adjust??? Should I just wait for you to finish your tasks and starve myself to death?"Eugene sai
"Just bare with Master Eugene, in the meantime. He is quite grumpy at times, but he is not always like that. He is really a nice man, believe me."Jorah said in his master defense while he tried his best to move the burnt casserole over the gas range towards the empty countertop.The casserole was almost as big as the size of the cat's body itself so the other party was having a hard time carrying it. Seeing this, Abby came to his rescue."If this happened to a normal household, this would call forth an emergency situation. But from how you guys handled it, it seemed that this was not new anymore."Abby could not help but comment as she took the casserole from Jorah's paws."Well, explosions were indeed a common thing whenever Master Eugene was trying to concoct new potions. He is not good at cooking anything in general.""Err???? Then how did he managed to survive until now? I mean, how was he able to eat without knowing how to cook? Don't tell me you also, cook for him?"Abby insinua
After she was done cleaning everything that needed to be cleaned, Abby started working on the kitchen next so she could cook something for them to eat.She knew that if she wanted to make her stay at their residence quite a smooth sailing one, then one thing she had to do was to constantly keep herself under the other party's good graces, and that was what she would aim to do starting from that day onward.Being used to attending the needs of her stepfamily at the most part of her life, Abby had grown quite used to doing household chores to the point that she could dare claim that if there was one thing she was really good at, that would be on the field of housekeeping.Cleaning, cooking, washing, named it!She could do them all too well wit
"Tsk! What was the sense of having a good fridge if you guys are not even planning of putting something usable inside it? What a waste."Tsking in frustration, Abby mumbled afterward. Meanwhile, seeing her reaction, Jorah only shrugged before replying.
Abby waited for the other party to open the door, but even after waiting for almost a minute, she still did not get any response from anyone inside. So she turned at Jorah to seek for assistance."Just go inside and get it done."
Abby was left dumbfounded on the same spot, waiting for Eugene to dress accordingly. But to her dismay, it seemed that the other party even took pride in it."Have you not had enough yet??"Eugene said referring to Abby who was still staring at him. Meanwhile, hearing that comment seemed to pull Abby's soul back to reality and she hurriedly averted her gaze." I'll just leave it here."She said as she put the tray down at the nearby table and hurriedly turn around to leave the room and escaped that awkward situation.However, just when she was about to step outside, Abby heard Eugene's voice from behind her."Where do you think y
"Well, it is not like I can produce food out from thin air, can I??? Besides, just so you know, that is the only food available on your kitchen right now, so naturally, that is also the only food that I can serve you."Abby rebutted.
"How I wish I could personally wipe that smile on your face. It was so irritating."She thought to herself."Ehem...ahem..."The old man in the middle of the elevated platform cleared his throat and everyone fell silent. He carefully scans all faces present in the hall until it landed on Mu Lingxi and he smiles slightly.When the old man was sure that everyone is already present, he stands up and started the meeting. This old man was no other than the clan head, Mu Ruochen. Mu Lingxi's grandfather.
The morning sunray that went through the blinds of her window, forced Ai Hee out from her dreamland.It was so bright that when she opened her eyes, it almost blinded her."Hey! Close the window, what do you want?!"With a groggy head, she inquired at her cat; because when she tried to peaked through her half closed eyes, she saw her cat seating next to their window.Most likely than not, it was the other party who opened the window, with an intention to wake her."MEOW"[ It's time to wake up little lass. Your grandfather has been waiting for you since the break of dawn he and had been sending Yanyan to fetch you. But you simply would not bulge from that bed of yours. ]Nero replied while lazily stretching his back."AHRGG! give five more minutes!"Ai Hee mumbled as she slumped back to her bed and covered her head using one of her pillows. She intended to come back to her sleep, but Nero would not allow her to have it h
"MEOW"[ Let us just forget what we heard. We can just pretend that we don't know where it came from right?]her cat tried to console her but they both feel like they were coyed.Mu Lingxi ignored his cat and instead look at Yanyan who was eating something that resembles Pringles."And what was that made from?" Mu Lingxi became more cautious and ask Yanyan first before tasting one."Well, this one is some kind of tree bark. It was leisurely chipped away from a CINCHONA TREE" Yanyan unhurriedly answered as she takes a bite from the chip.Mu Lingxi finds it more acceptable to eat so she decided to give it a try. It tasted like Piattos' roadhouse barbeque." I never thought that a simple bark of a tree-like this can turn to be a delectable food in this place." Mu Lingxi exclaimed.Yanyan wonders why her young miss acts so strange. It was as if it was her first time knowing this kind of food.Nevertheless, she never doubted
Abby had thought about going back to her bed and resumed her sleep but then she remembered that today was her special day!"I am 18 now!!!! This is the day that I have been waiting for."She said as she bolted up straight from her bed.Without even bothering to wash her face or at least combed her hair and fix its hot mess, Abby immediately ran towards her door.But to her surprise, the door seemed lock from the outside! And no matter how hard she tried to push nor heave the door, it just simply would not budge.That was when Abby started to had a bad feeling."What was wrong with this door?!! Hey! Let me out of here!!!"She shouted at the top of her lungs, hoping that it would catch the attention of anyone from the other side of the door, but her efforts had only gone to naught.... SI
"For your 25, 000-dollar question, what is the name of the plant that could turn the one who devoured them into some sort of zombie and control its minds???"A. OphiocordycepsB. Wolf's BaneC. PigweedorD. Resurrecting PlantThe bald game show master asked Abby. His extremely white teeth made a great contrast with his dark skin as he smiled at her.Abby at the moment was playing as a contestant at what seemed to be a game show where one would have to answer some questions that were prepared beforehand.Rewards were also decided prior to the start of the game and every correct answer would allow the player to get a specific amount of money."Was there really a plant capable of doing that? FOR REAL?!!!"Abby asked the game master in return."Yes, dear. And you have to get the right answer for you
Meanwhile, when Abby heard the other party's abrupt accusation towards her, she was flabbergasted."Mine?! How come it became my fault?!

I was suddenly taken aback by what he said. What does that mean? “Do you think I really belong to the Rohan family? I just adopted Alyanna !!! Because at first, my adoptive parents thought they would never have children. Case they made a mistake, they had a son! Your dad. ”“And what happened when he entered my life? He stole all the attention of my parents! He is the good one, he is the kind one, he has all the inheritance and nothing is left to me! ” No one told me about that.“But I accepted that Alyanna because your dad was kind to me. He even promised to share the family property with me… but it disappeared! It disappeared like a bubble because your good mother Allina came !!! ”
"Oh… I'll leave you first… I'm going to cry too!" Then Vander left immediately."And if you need anything, just call me.""I already have what I need Brylle." I held on tightly to the necklace I was wearing. The necklace that my mom and dad left for me. "Thank you."Brylle and I stared at each other for a long time. He turned around so I thought he was leaving. But he suddenly came back to face me again.Then he slowly bowed… and gave me another kiss on the cheek. "I'm
“Do you know, ladies, that we have been looking for the lost treasure of the White Light Clan for a long time? Eighteen years! We have been looking for it for so long! ”“So don't hurt us !!! We will tell you where that woman is so that you can get the sacred treasure you are looking for! ”"But we alam we do not know where he…""Shut up, Cerina !!!" The young man looked at Cerina and then at Seline."And you still plan to fool me?"&n
