Chapter 91:

Alicia furrowed her eyebrows.

Joshua was used to Shelia's sharp tongue and knew that she disapproved of Alicia. Not wanting to bother Shelia, he pretended not to hear and left the kitchen.

The more Shelia thought about it, the more her frustration grew. Pointing his finger at Alicia, he yelled: All you do is spend money! You contribute nothing to this family and you have no manners. Don't you see Joshua is exhausted Jesus, he can barely catch his breath!

Alicia had heard enough and turned to look at Shelia. He looked at Joshua, who was eating calmly as if nothing had happened.

He had been very insistent before. He had practically thrown himself at her, but now he pretended that none of that had happened.

He never cared about her feelings or what she had gone through.

It was always like that.< /p>

Nothing had changed, not even now.

A few days ago, when Joshua had not realized that she was on her period, he had wanted to sleep with her so much that he had argued with her. Shelia just for having the opportunity. But now that she knew there was no chance, she didn't even care enough to intervene.

Alicia never counted on Joshua to intervene for her, but that didn't mean she would let Shelia walk all over her.

p>

What are you looking at, Shelia growled. You live here, you depend on us, and I can't even tell you what I think.

Alicia struggled to contain her emotions.

She was in no position to start a direct confrontation with Shelia, no. in the situation he found himself in.

Maintaining the tone of his voice, he asked calmly: Mrs. Yates, do we have any herbal supplements for the soup. The best, the most nutritious.

Shelia looked at her suspiciously. Why do you need them?

To make soup for Joshua, of course, Alicia answered with a pleasant smile. After all, he just hugged me and you said I was weak. We should take this seriously, don't you think?

Shelia immediately caught the sarcasm in Alicia's tone. His eyes widened. What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Joshua is only twenty years old. It's impossible for him to be weak.

Alicia put on a devastated expression. But Mrs. Yates, you were the one who said it before. He said he could barely catch his breath, right.

Shelia was momentarily speechless.

Joshua, for his part, began to sense that something was wrong.

Although Alicia's behavior seemed kind and harmless, her words disturbed him.

Enough, both of you, Joshua said firmly. I just want to eat in peace.

Alicia grimaced internally.

Fuck you! she growled inwardly.

She had been willing to put up with it all. , even preparing a meal to keep him calm.

But now, the idea of ​​cooking disgusted him.

Shelia was sitting next to Joshua. He wasted no time speaking ill of her. I told you not to bring her, but you didn't listen to me. It's nothing but trouble.

Shelia's tone sharpened. How much did you spend today on that beauty treatment? You waste so much money in a single day. You can afford to keep her by your side.

Alicia paid no attention to Shelia's comments.

She opened the refrigerator, took out the most expensive herbs she could find, and placed them in the largest container. expensive one he found.

At first glance, it looked like he was diligently preparing a meal.

When Joshua finished eating, he went up with Shelia to visit Jerald.

< p>Knowing that Georgia would arrive soon to take charge of In the kitchen, Alicia turned her attention to the fish tank in the living room.

She took out one of the precious fish. It was a rare breed that Shelia adored.

It was an expensive and delicate fish that required constant care.

Without a second thought, Alicia picked it up and dropped it into a pot of water. cold, where she swam happily without knowing what awaited her.

Georgia soon arrived to help.

When she saw the untouched vegetables, she rolled her eyes in frustration. How slow you are. When are we supposed to eat?

Alicia replied calmly: I was waiting for you to cook.

Me Georgia's tone became sharp now that no one else was around. Be realistic. I didn't respect you even when you were Mrs. Yates. Now that you're just a lady, you better wake up and do your part to avoid him scolding you.

Alicia gave a slight smile.

Georgia walked over and removed the lid of the pot What's Cooking Here

The moment she lifted the lid, the fish inside jumped out, splashing water all over Georgia's face.

Started, her hand slipped. and knocked over the pot.

The expensive pot fell to the ground with a crash, breaking into pieces.

While Georgia stood paralyzed, Alice picked up the fish and returned it to the fish tank.

Shelia, hearing the commotion, rushed down the stairs. What's happening What happened

By the time Georgia recovered, she saw Alicia crouching down, calmly picking up the broken pieces.

Before Georgia could explain, Alicia spoke up. Mrs. Yates, please don't be angry with Georgia. He is getting older and his eyesight is not what it used to be. That's why he accidentally broke it.

Georgia's eyes widened in disbelief. No, Mrs. Yates, that's not what happened...

But when Shelia came over and saw the smashed flower pot, her face turned pale and she looked like she was going to faint. Shelia had paid tens of thousands of dollars for that flower pot. And now she was ruined.

Georgia shouted: Alicia, how could you accuse me like that? You scared me.

Alicia acted as if she didn't notice. I scared you. How could it not be you who tipped over the pot?

Georgia knew that Alicia was right. She had upset it, and now guilt silenced her.

Shelia noticed Georgia's hesitation and asked sternly: So, it was really you who broke it.

Mrs. Yates, it's not what you believe... Georgia began to protest.

Without warning, Shelia slapped her.

Fantastic! The cost will come directly out of your salary.

Georgia clutched her cheek, seething in silence, her gaze filled with hatred towards Alicia.

Alicia, however, showed no emotion. . After calmly cleaning up the broken pieces, she left the kitchen without saying a word.

In the hallway, Joshua approached her.

He noticed that she had a small cut. on the finger, through which the blood was slowly running.

Alicia took a handkerchief and put it on the wound. I'm hurt, so I guess I can't cook.

Joshua had been watching the whole scene.

He looked at her intently with an unwavering gaze.

You've changed. a lot since the divorce.
