What is Janet trying to pull? How dare she disrespect and humiliate me in front of Rebecca? Is it so difficult for her to share a room with Emily?
Just when Megan was about to lose her temper, Grandma Jade walked down the stairs while appearing warm and kind. “It looks like Rebecca is here!”
Rebecca smiled sweetly at her. “Nice to meet you, Grandma Jade.”
“Have a seat,” offered Grandma Jade to Rebecca. Then, she paused before adding, “Megan, let Janet move out if she wants to.”
Grandma Jade could tell that Janet had no affection for these people, so she would most probably feel uncomfortable around them. Grandma Jade knew what Janet thought deep down.
“W-Well…” Megan hesitated. “Rebecca will only be staying with us a little more than a month. I don’t think that’s necessary.”
In all honesty, compared to Janet being unhappy at home, I’m more worried that she might get acquainted with random men outside. If that were to happen, it would be utterly humiliating for me.
“No worries, it’s fine! Youngsters nowadays are very independent,” reassured Grandma Jade. “Besides, your father-in-law and I had Brian when I was 18 years old.”
“Fine… I guess,” Megan agreed reluctantly.
However, worry was still clearly etched across her face.
Emily was secretly happy. I haven’t even voiced my opinion, and Janet has already volunteered to get out of Jackson Residence! Lady Luck is smiling upon me.
Previously, there hasn’t been a reason to get rid of her, but it’s great now. I won’t have to see Janet’s moody and aloof face for at least a month.
Rebecca took Emily by her hand and she seemed especially embarrassed. “It’s true that your older sister has a quick temper.”
It seems like Emily has been telling the truth. Furthermore, when I was in Markovia, I heard that Janet isn’t good at her studies. In fact, during her finals, she was sent to the worst class in her year.
Emily smiled, appearing to be innocent and simple-minded. “Don’t worry. She won’t bully you when I’m around.”
“Emily, you are such a kind person.” Rebecca clung onto Emily’s arm happily.
At the backyard of the Lowry Residence, Mason was dressed in black and sitting lazily on a stool. He observed casually as Henry fed the wolf with a piece of raw meat.
Mason’s deep and dark eyes seemed almost bottomless, and his lips curled into a snarl. “Henry, don’t overfeed it.”
Once a domesticated wolf had a satiated feeling, it would forget its hunting instincts.
Therefore, the servants of the Lowry Family would only feed the wolves until they were half-full. However, if Henry were to drop by, he would always feed them until their stomachs were bulging.
Upon hearing that, Henry placed the fork down, dusted off his hands and chuckled, “I got you.”
Henry had his hands in his pocket while making his way toward Mason. “Young Master Mason, are you in a bad mood?” He regarded Mason questioningly with his deep and dark eyes.
They had known each other for many years, and so they could easily sense if something was amiss.
Whenever Young Master Mason is in a foul mood, he’ll go to the backyard to watch the wolves feast on meat. It is almost as if he’ll only feel better after witnessing the wolves ripping their food apart.
Upon hearing that, Mason was stunned, but it was impossible to guess his thoughts.
Nevertheless, Henry knew that Mason’s mood would only change according to Janet. Therefore, he switched tactics. “Is it because of Janet?”
At the mention of Janet’s name, Mason finally shifted from his sitting position and answered with a husky voice, “Yes.”
I have been feeling uneasy for the past two days, and I’m quite sure that it’s because of Janet and the bangle.
Upon hearing that, Henry burst out laughing. “Young Master Mason, you can always call her if you miss her.”
It’s already the 21st century. Anything can be easily solved with a phone call.
Mason shut his eyes while answering Henry in a deep and quiet voice, “You don’t understand.”
I’ll only miss Janet more if I were to hear her voice. I did drop by the Jackson Residence’s yard to have a peek yesterday, but I noticed that Janet’s bedroom lights were already switched off. I didn’t have the heart to wake her up, so I kept my distance. That is most probably the reason I’ve been feeling uneasy until now.
Henry raised his eyebrow, and he heard the wolves howling in the cage behind him. “I’ll get more fresh meat. The pack of wolves aren’t full at all,” he remarked playfully.
But I’ve had enough from Young Master Mason’s public displays of affection.
