Who on earth was saying these words in front of the children? Dulcie didn't understand what was going on, but Jayce did, and he could see that Zaden was about to burst into flames. Even thought Dulcie didn't know what was going on, she was sensitive as a child, and she knew that she might've said something wrong. Despite not knowing the meaning of the words, she knew that she wasn't supposed to say them again. "Dulcie." Zaden held his emotions in, and smiled as he asked, "Why did you ask that?" Dulcie didn't dare to answer, and glanced at Zaden timidly. "Why don't you tell Daddy about it," he said. "It's because... I wanted to know what it meant..." Dulcie didn't have the guts to look at Zaden, and lowered her head as she fiddled with her fingers. "Dulcie, where did you hear these words from?" Zaden asked patiently. Zaden's tone was calm, and he no longer showed an angry expression. All of a sudden, Dulcie thought that... perhaps he
Moira watched happily by the side... At this point, Zaden will finally understand that he has to fire this woman! But there was a hint of uncertainty beneath Moira's heart. She could tell that Zaden had developed unusual feelings towards Grace, so she had to know what he was going to do to with her. On the other hand, Zaden took Grace's silence as her admitting that it was true. It seemed that she did have a complicated past. Perhaps she wasn't willing to talk about it because she couldn't let it go, or because she was still in love with that man. Zaden had mixed feelings at the thought of that. He clenched his fist unintentionally, and his round nails pierced into his palm. He wasn't bothered by the pain at all, as his mind was occupied by his fury. "Zaden, I think that..." Moira wanted to say something to break the silence, but as soon as she spoke, Zaden frowned even harder. "Stop." Zaden waved his hand, and said without even looking at her,
"Can't I?" Zaden's eyes turned red as he stared Grace down, eyeing her as if he wanted to eat her whole. He asked in a low voice, "If not me, then who else has the right?" Grace didn't know how to respond and could only shout in a helpless voice, "Let go of me!" "Calm down, Zaden, calm down! Put me down. I can pretend that nothing happened!" "You might be able to," Zaden sneered in his heart, "but I can't." Walking to the side of the bed, he threw Grace onto the bed. Grace fell onto the soft bedding. However, she didn't have the time to enjoy the high-quality bedding. The moment she regained her freedom, she used her hands and feet to push backward, hoping to escape from Zaden's control. This was as unfair a fight, like between a small rabbit and a ferocious tiger. Any attempt made by the rabbit to escape was laughable in the eyes of the tiger. "Zaden, don't come over!" Grace shouted. Zaden wasn't planning on wasting his breath. He knelt on the
Grace was speechless. This was getting ridiculous. How was she going to explain it? She hadn't been stripped of her pants and spanked! This was so embarrassing. Unexpectedly, she had caused two children to sympathize with her and comfort her. She wondered if she was really that useless. This was all Zaden's fault. Why had he gone crazy for no reason? None of this would have happened if he had not! "No," Grace said. "Mr. Andrew didn't hit me." "Huh?" Dulcie was also confused. Looking at Grace's messy clothing, she stared with her big black eyes and asked, "But you just came out of Daddy's room, and now you're acting like this. If he didn't spank you, then what did Daddy do to you?" Dulcie found it strange. Could it be that her father had other methods of disciplining people? In that case, she had to find out in case she got punished by her father in the future when she was disobedient. Faced with Dulcie's question, Douglas' eyes were filled with
"If that's the case, then why do you ask this question?" Grace asked. To be honest, Grace felt a little hurt getting questioned by such an innocent child. However, she was worried that she had been negligent in taking care of them, which led them to have this kind of thought. "Be-because..." Dulcie twisted her fingers and looked embarrassed, but she still explained, "Yesterday, Mom told me and my brother that you would marry Dad and become our stepmother." "In fairy tales, stepmothers always bully children, so... I asked you if you would abuse us." After explaining, Dulcie felt so guilty that she didn't even dare to look into Grace's eyes. As for Grace, she had never expected Dulcie's answer. She felt ashamed and particularly angry at the same time. Moira was simply too much. Grace was able to tolerate many of her malicious tactics, but this was too much. How could she say such things in front of a child? "That won't happen," Grace denied. "Dul
"I know myself very well. It's true. I'm just a cook. I just want to do a good job. I don't want to think about unnecessary things, and I don't... want to have feelings for someone I shouldn't have feelings for," Grace said humbly. This misunderstanding should really end here. Otherwise, she might even lose the chance to stay in the Andrew family, and she couldn't lose this job now. Seeing that she couldn't find an internship, she couldn't stay at home and have nothing to do every day. Although she wasn't so nervous about money, for the time being, Gentry needed money to continue his studies, and they both needed to survive. Therefore, she must make sure that Zaden cleared the misunderstanding he had. However, the reality of the situation was the complete opposite. The more Grace's expression showed that there was absolutely no way she could have a relationship with him, the more unhappy Zaden became. His expression became more and more sullen, and his gaz
Although Zaden did not know the whole story, he guessed that Moira must have lost her temper because of Dulcie. He suddenly felt unhappy. Dulcie was his child, even if Moira was the children's birth mother, she had no right to yell at them! "Dear child, don't cry, you're crying so much that your father's heart is aching," Zaden kissed Dulcie's little face, patted her back, and coaxed her gently and patiently. "Dad, I hate her!" "All right,span " Zaden coaxed her/span. "I know how you feel. Don't cry, okay?" Dulcie didn't say anything, but continued to hug Zaden's neck tightly. span Seeing his daughter act like this/span, Zaden felt extremely upset. At this time, Douglas also followed and came to Zaden. He said, "Dad,span it's Mom who made Dulcie cry/span. She shouted at Dulcie, and Dulcie was scared." "Okay." Zaden also touched Douglas's head and said, "Why don't you stay here and accompany your sister, and I'll go and see what's going on, oka
"Yes, that's why we need to build a good relationship with her now, so that we don't have to go through difficult times in the future..." The quiet discussion between the servants came to an abrupt end when they heard a voice filled with anger. "What are you doing?" Moira rebuked the servants loudly and said, "Don't you all have work to do? Why are you lingering here?" The group of servants immediately shut up in fear and looked at each other. They all tried to cover up their embarrassment by going back to their work. Moira had heard only a few comments, which were enough for her to guess what they had been talking about. The anger in her heart rose directly to the top of her head. If this had happened in the Coulson Group, she would definitely fire these people. However, this was the Andrew family, and she had just been warned by Zaden. Therefore, even if Moira was very angry, she could only pretend to be powerful and lose her temper at the servants. She
