Chapter 17
This woman was quite good at cooking.
Louis ate gracefully and made a comment about her in his heart.
“How is it? Is it good?” asked Violet.
“It’s barely palatable.”
Louis did not raise his eyes and responded in a light voice.
Was it just barely palatable?
It was difficult to serve him!
Violet sat down, touched her empty stomach and ate quickly.
“Who is the ‘baby’?”
Coldly, the man suddenly burst out a question.
Violet was drinking her soup and was choking and coughing with his question.
Louis’ eyebrows were knitted together. With a disgusted look, he drew a piece of paper towel to wipe off the soup spilled on his hand.
His sharp eyes locked on the woman.
“Why are you so excited? Violet, you’re not keeping a lover behind my back, are you?”
Violet: “…”
Why so sudden?
He was so weird!
“Mr. Johnson, please don’t worry. I am ugly and have no money. I’m not capable to keep a lover.”
“Oh? Sounds like you’re kinda sorry about that?”
Violet: “…”
This man always misinterpreted her words.
“Mr. Johnson, the callers just now were my bosom friend Josie and her daughter. ‘Baby’ is my bosom friend’s daughter.”
Violet lowered her eyes slightly and explained in a light voice.
Louis looked at her steadily and eventually did not speak again.
In silence, Violet ate the noodles, vowing to divorce Louis quickly.
Only in this way, won’t she have to worry about if Louis would out her vulnerability and sue her for deception!
After all, the Johnsons didn’t know she had a baby when she married him!
…
The following day.
Styling Studio.
“Good morning, Ms. Wright.”
Violet watched Ruby strut into the studio and politely said hello to her.
Today she suspended the business of the studio for half a day just to get things sorted out.
Ruby glanced at her and shouted, “Why is this shitty studio still open? Do you still want to ruin people’s faces? Hurry up and close it!”
“Ms. Wright, please sit down. Have a pastry and some tea. Take your time.”
Violet was not annoyed and gestured for her to sit down before cutting to the chase.
Ruby glanced at the tempting pastries, swallowed, and rolled her eyes.
“Helena, let me tell you. Bribery won’t work. I’m not going to settle down just because you buy me a piece of cake.”
But it would be foolish not to take advantage.
Hmm!
This pastry tasted so good!
It was sweet and sour with some strawberries. That was so delicious!
Ruby took a big bite of the pastry with a satisfied look on her face.
Violet sat across from her.
“Ms. Wright, is the chestnut cake good?”
“Not bad.” Ruby blurted out.
Then, she reacted and exclaimed, “What did you say? Chestnut cake? This, this is obviously a strawberry cake!”
“What’s wrong? Ms. Wright, you’re not allergic to chestnut powder, are you?”
This cake looked like it was made with strawberries, but the reality was that it was mixed with chestnut powder.
Thanks to Doctor Lee, she knew that Ruby was allergic to chestnut.
So, since she liked the feeling of allergy, let her feel it again!
Anyway, this was Violet’s ‘reward’ for Ruby who slandered her!
