Chapter 89 Get Out
Elizabeth was shocked to see her husband in front of her because she thought he had already left for work. What is he doing here? She looked at her husband with sorrow in her eyes and replied, “I need someone to help me at my brother’s house.”
August’s expression darkened and he asked, “Since when did my daughter become your maid?” Elizabeth was taken aback by that question and replied, “I am her mother. She needs to help me.”
August laughed out loud and said, “You are forgetful, Elizabeth. Didn’t you tell me that you would never acknowledge her as your daughter? Get out. You don’t deserve to be her mother.”
Then he called Bridgette and said, “Don’t allow this woman in my daughter’s room again.” Bridgette nodded her head and went back to her bedroom.
Elizabeth was so humiliated she felt like crying. She had been waiting for her husband to comfort her since she lost her brother, but all the comfort went to his daughter.
Elizabeth was fuming with anger; she wanted to take her daughter with her to make her life miserable. Her husband’s attitude changed after she gave birth to Avery. She wished she could strangle her.
Her husband opened the door and said coldly, “Get out.” Elizabeth looked at her husband with an aggrieved expression, and then she walked out of Avery’s bedroom. Her husband closed the door, and then he went to his study room. He decided to work at home that day.
Mrs Martins went to the kitchen and said, “Hope, pack your luggage and accompany me to my brother’s house.” Hope looked at her and replied, “I am sorry, Mrs Martins, I have to pass. I am allergic to your brainless niece.”
Mrs Martins was taken aback when she heard Hope’s words and replied, “Please forgive my niece. She is still young.” Hope sneered, “I will never forgive your niece. However, I will attend the funeral to pay my last respect to Uncle Edwin and Aunt Cathy because they were kind to me.”
In the end, Mrs Martins took two helpers with her and asked the family driver to drive them to her brother’s house in Richards Bay. Mrs Martins vowed that she would never allow Hope and Avery to attend her brother’s funeral. In their dreams.
She would see to it that Lily chased them away. Since they didn’t show her any respect, they should be able to deal with the consequences.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
After his wife and others left, Mr Martins asked the helpers to come to the living room and said, “It is possible that Lily will be staying with us. Please free one bedroom for her.” Hope smiled and replied, “Mr Martins, my roommate and I will move to the servants’ quarters today.”
Mr Martins thanked them, and then he asked Butler Bruce to buy a new bed and bedding. Butler Bruce nodded his head, and then he asked Clayton to accompany him to the furniture shop.
Butler Bruce took his phone and called Aunt Rose. When the call was connected, he said, “Hello Rose, are you well?” Aunt Rose smiled and replied, “Hello Bruce, I am well. Thank you. How are you?”
Butler Bruce smiled brightly and said, “I am well. Thank you. I need a favour. We are preparing a bedroom for Lily, but I don’t know which colour I should buy for her bedding. Should I buy pink bedding?”
Aunt Rose smiled and replied, “Lily’s bedding is pink. Please buy her two sets of bedding, pink and white.” Butler Bruce smiled and replied, “Thank you so much for your help, Miss Walker.” Clayton had goosebumps when he heard Butler Bruce’s gentle voice.
Clayton smiled and asked, “Bruce, are you in love with Aunt Rose?” Butler Bruce didn’t want to hide his feelings and replied, “I love her so much, but I feel inferior when I am with her. I am just a servant, and she is Mr Martins’ Aunt. I am scared that Mr Martins will not approve of our relationship.”
Clayton smiled and said, “You are not alone in that boat. I love Hope a lot, but I am scared to confess my love to her. She is very beautiful, and she made my heart race. Bruce, confess your love to her; Aunt Rose is a good woman.”
Butler Bruce was surprised to hear Clayton’s words and replied, “What are you scared of Clayton? Confess to her, maybe she likes you too.”
Clayton looked at Butler Bruce and said, “Let’s confess to our lovely ladies when we come back from Richards Bay.” Butler Bruce nodded his head.
They walked to the furniture shop, and then they bought a king-sized bed. It was so soft and comfortable. Butler Bruce asked the shop assistant to deliver the bed urgently. They promised to deliver it later that day.
They went to the bedding shop and bought two sets of bedding as Aunt Rose suggested. When they passed the flower shop, Clayton bought roses for Hope. Butler Bruce looked at Clayton and said, “Are you confessing today?”
Clayton shook his head and replied, “I just want to see her reaction when I give her the roses.” Butler Bruce nodded his head and said, “That’s a wise move. I will try it as well when she comes back from Richards Bay.”
When they arrived at the Martins mansion, Clayton smiled brightly and gave Hope the flowers and said, “Beautiful flowers for the beautiful lady.” Hope smiled sweetly and replied, “Thank you Clayton, I love them.” Hope kissed him on the cheek, and then she ran away.
Clayton was overjoyed. He touched his heart, which was beating so fast. Mr Martins was standing on the stairs looking at Clayton with a smile. Then he walked down the stairs and said, “Congratulations Clayton.”
Clayton was so shy and asked, “Boss, do you approve?” Mr Martins nodded his head and replied, “Yes. Handsome man and a beautiful lady, you are a match made in heaven. If you win her heart, I will give you a mansion.” Clayton was overjoyed.
At the Parker mansion, Aunt Rose was with Lily in her bedroom comforting her. When she heard that Uncle August had identified her parents at the morgue, she cried until she was exhausted.
At that moment, someone told them that Aunt Elizabeth had arrived. Lily rushed to the living room and threw herself in her arms. In a few days, Lily was haggard, and she lost a lot of weight. Aunt Elizabeth hugged her niece tightly and they both cried for a long time.
A lump formed in Lily’s throat, and she said, “Aunt Elizabeth, why am I still alive? I wish I died with my parents.” Aunt Elizabeth wiped Lily’s tears and replied, “Don’t you ever utter those words again. Do you want to leave me alone like your father? I love you so much, my beautiful niece.”
