It was so strange. Why did this woman want his clothes instead? He figured that was what most women wanted to wear. No matter. He just walked out of the bathroom after taking the red dress. Wolfram called over a maid and gave an order that froze the maid.

“Leave this in my room. Get a change for me that will also fit Delta.” That was what he said, and it was pretty straightforward. He just didn’t know why his maid stared at his face.

“Why are you still standing here?” Wolfram frowned at the maid.

The maid took the red dress and asked, “Master, the matron bought women’s sweaters and other things for Ms. Hart. Does she really need to be in your clothes?”

Wolfram slid his eyes to the side, but he couldn’t possibly open the bathroom door again. He just made the maid take on his gaze. “Take both. I’ll be waiting right here, so make it quick.”

With that, the maid briskly walked away after a bow. She then proceeded to run across the house as if she was collecting materials to defuse a bomb.

As for the ‘bomb,’ Wolfram just leaned on the wall next to the bathroom door. He was hungry, but he figured the maids should be serving the kids first. He didn’t have to eat alone since Delta did say she would eat, too. It was easier to speak to just the mother for now.

“Master! I have returned.” The maid had run back and controlled her breathing. Wolfram only looked through the clothes she bought and gestured for her to bring them to Delta. They were both women; Delta shouldn’t be screaming if the maid walked in on her changing.

From inside the bathroom, Delta was only waiting for the new set of clothes. She chose to put on her shirt from earlier, only holding her skirt before her to conceal her thighs. When the maid walked in, they exchanged smiles before Delta collected the clothes. 

The maid watched the woman change into designer clothes meant for house lounging. The body of the woman was shapely in places, but it didn’t stand out too much. Delta Hart was not a woman the master picked up from a night out, for sure.

Erm, that sounded wrong. That man barely left the house. How could he even be outside at night? That begged the question: how did the master know this woman he claimed to be his wife? Did this woman go on a live stream and asked someone to marry her? 

And the master agreed to that?

“Is something wrong?” Delta asked as she brushed her hair after changing, her back turned to the maid. “You have been staring at me.”

“Ms. Hart, how did you meet Master? Erm, I’m just curious.” The maid didn’t stop herself from asking. She shouldn’t be meddling with her master’s affairs unless told by the matron. However, everyone in the household was weirded out by the fact that the master was suddenly married.

Delta wore a blank smile when she was facing the mirror. “I ran into him. He didn’t want to speak, so he made a story. Don’t worry. You won’t see us for so long.”

The maid narrowed her eyes. “The Master is spending on you. I don’t think he’s just preparing to have you around for a short while. Erm, I should walk you to the dining hall now, Ms. Hart.”

“All right. I will follow you.” The placid woman turned to the maid, and the maid quickly felt something was wrong. This woman… was not planning to suddenly vanish, right?

…

Delta felt more comfortable in her pink sweater. She was also given a pair of denim jeans to go with it. She had the lingerie underneath, but at least that was hidden. If she appeared in an expensive dress, her kids might think they were going to the mall. After getting found by Carolus’s group, why would they expose themselves again?

The smell of the food took away Delta’s attention from her thoughts. She remembered how she should eat first to have enough energy to think. Moreover, she felt warm from the smiles of her kids. Eine and Foxley were old enough to eat on their own, and they enjoyed their food so much.

“Mommy! Mommy! I’ve never eaten anything like this before!” Foxley giggled and cut up a portion of his steak. “Mommy, Mommy, sit closer. I’ll share it with you.”

“She has her own. You don’t have to give her some of yours.” Wolfram was already there, unable to wait for Delta to come. He was too hungry.

Eine moved her head up from her pasta. She smiled at her mother as a greeting before eating again. Eine had to finish first, so she could clean after herself and her brother. However, she wondered if she could carry three of those heavy plates.

Delta sat down and watched the two kids while the maids served her food. On a normal day, Eine and Foxley would be eating by themselves. She only joined them when it was dinner time. Watching them eat independently was strangely satisfying.

Her eyes then moved to the maids standing around the side. It was as if they were ready to run around at the order of their master. There were so many of them at the side, was Mr. Colton very particular that there should be five of them at the ready?

“Why are you still not eating?” Wolfram asked as he saw how the plates were all in front of Delta. However, the woman was still looking at the maids. He then glanced at the maids hoping not to meet his gaze. “Do you need something else from them?”

“Nothing.” Delta smiled at him in response. She then attended to her food, but it was something she wouldn’t eat on a normal basis. Well, something she had not yet eaten again for years. No matter. She would take it as Mr. Colton treating her to lunch.

The dining hall was quiet as if they were in a restaurant. Instead of one big table, there were three: one for Wolfram, one for the kids, and one for Delta. It should be unnerving, but Wolfram was happy to be left alone. He was used to eating alone, anyway.

It’s just that a maid walked in with a house phone on a velvet pillow. She stood next to Wolfram, who paused when she appeared. The maid spoke without looking down at her master, “Master Wolfram, Master David wants to speak with you.”

“I don’t like this.” Wolfram’s eye twitched. Then again, why would he not think that his very father would not hear about the ‘wife’ during the building’s inauguration?
