Two servants who were attending to the Mendoza family approached Devin and questioned him.
âDevin, are they really Mrs. Blanchetâs relatives? They donât seem like theyâre cut from the same cloth as Mrs. Blanchet at allâ
âTell me about it! They donât look like theyâre here for a visit; itâs more like theyâre here to take over our house! They even mentioned about redoing our yard, chopping down that old pine tree, and tossing away all of Putnamâs precious flowers!â
Hearing this, Devin was also puzzled by the Mendoza familyâs behavior.
âAlright, itâs none of your business to discuss Mrs Blanchetâs guests. Prepare some more snacks and fruits for the quests! Itâs their first visit, we canât be rude no matter what.â
âRoger that.â
Sheila happily sat on the highâend fabric sofa in the living room, finding it much more comfortable than the one at home. It was so comfy that she was ready to doze off.
But she wasnât a big fan of the sofaâs style; although it looked posh, it was a bit too oldâfashioned.
She was frowning at the mansionâs decor like she was the lady of the house.
âUgh, why is none of the decor here to my taste?! All these pieces of furniture look so pricey, but they feel a bit dated. I prefer more modern home decor!â Tracy, sitting next to her, chuckled and said, âNo worries; when you move in later, youâll be the lady of the house! You can have it renovated any way you want; just tell Mr Blanchet, and heâll definitely make it happen!â
Sheila pondered and thought that made sense.
In her mind, she couldnât help but think of Mr. Blanchet, whom she had seen before. The man who was dropâdead gorgeous from every angle and made her heart flutter.
That man was definitely the most handsome man she had ever laid eyes on.
Even if he wasnât from the Blanchet family, even if he didnât have such a prominent status, she would still want to be with a man like that and have a passionate romance.
What was infuriating was that lately, Ellinor had been monopolizing her Mr. Blanchet.
She didnât know what had happened between Ellinor and Mr. Blanchet, but if there was something, she would definitely give Ellinor a piece of her mind!
Meanwhile, Arnold took the tea from the maid, took a careful sip, and asked, âWhat kind of tea is this?
Why is it so light?â
âThis is a highâgrade imported black tea; the taste is quite mild. If youâre not used to it, I can switch it to green tea for you.â
Arnold coughed a bit awkwardly, waved his hand and said.
âAh, no need to switch. By the way, where is Ellinor? Why havenât I seen her come out to greet me?â
The maid didnât know how to respond, so she kept silent..
Devin stepped in at the right moment and politely replied, âMrs. Blanchet is still getting ready, sheâll come down when sheâs done. You can enjoy some snacks and tea in the meantime, please wait for a while.â
Arnold snorted, âThat disrespectful daughter of mine is acting like a big shot; how dare she treat me like this!â
