Chapter 494 Tabitha Invites Heidi +5 Pear This finally snapped Petra back to reality. She awkwardly mentioned that she had prepared Tabithaâs favorite dish and would bring it to her later.
Tabitha flashed her a faint smile. âI even brought presents for you and Heidi. Is Heidi coming over today? Tell her to drop by. Itâs been quite a while since we last met.â
Petraâs expression faltered for a moment, and she offered a forced smile.
After Tabitha finished speaking, she stepped forward and took Isabellaâs arm, intending to head toward th main building..
âWho is Heidi?â Isabella asked curiously.
âHeidi is Petraâs daughter. Sheâs the same age as me. We went to the same school and had such a great tim together,â Tabitha said with a bounce in her voice.
Isabella didnât give it much thought, it was merely a casual inquiry.
With the arrival of Hansel and his family, the atmosphere at home finally started feeling like a major birthday celebration was underway.
Tabitha was genuinely charming. Even the stern Lionel couldnât help but break into a wide smile around her. She truly embodied the essence of a little princess.
When he returned to the building for the young that evening, Tabitha had followed him. She seemed to have endless words to share, fueled by an inexhaustible energy.
But as soon as she showed up, Petra appeared too, immediately bringing her favorite dessert. She was rather perfunctory with the other young masters and young ladies, serving them the same way over and over.
Naturally, no one would compare themselves to Tabitha.
Thrilled, Tabitha went to fetch the gift. Then, she joined Petra at the table for a heartâtoâheart chat.
âWhereâs Heidi? Didnât she come?â Tabitha asked, puzzled.
Petra immediately said, âOh, weâre just housekeepers. Since when do housekeepers bring their families to their employerâs home for fun? She isnât worthy of such luxury.â
Immediately, Tabitha furrowed her petite brows. âSheâs my friend, so whatâs wrong with inviting a friend, over? My family is very understanding. No one would mind.â
Petraâs expression tensed a bit as she said, âSheâs still got work, so she really canât make it over.â
Tabitha was taken aback when she heard that. âWhat? Ajob? Based on her schooling situation here, shouldnât she be in her junior year of high school?â
âSheâs not good at studying, and she started working right after middle school,â Petra said dismissively.
Tabitha became even more surprised. She distinctly remembered that Heidi loved reading when she was a child. She had said that her father and brother didnât like her, so she needed to stride t ?
Chapter 494 Tabitha Invites Heidi
Back then, Heidi was even more studious than Tabitha was. Despite moving abroad during junior high, she would occasionally call her, and their conversations would inevitably turn to their studies.
Even though their communication eventually dwindled, in Tabithaâs memory, Heidi was the type to never abandon her education.
Being a kindâhearted girl, Tabitha began to speculate, wondering if it was a case of gender bias, where Heidiâs father and brother didnât let her study, instead making her work to support her brother.
But that didnât seem plausible, because Petra worked for their family and was paid well. There wouldnât be any financial pressure in supporting two children through university.
Tabitha was perplexed, but she had her own little scheme. She had coaxed Petra into giving her a phone, and then secretly found out Heidiâs current contact information.
She quickly got in touch with Heidi. She could hear the surprise and cold detachment in Heidiâs voice. Considering they hadnât seen each other in a while, it made sense that they felt like strangers. She invited her over to her house, offered her gifts, and thought it would be a good opportunity to catch up. If Heidi was facing any difficulties, she was ready to lend a hand as much as she could.
Since her childhood, she had often lent a hand to Heidi, so she didnât think much of it. She had the means to help a friend, and thus, she didnât overthink it.
Afterwards, Tabitha shared her thoughts with the others on inviting Heidi over for a visit. Naturally, no one had any objections. After all, this was Tabithaâs home, so she had the freedom to invite anyone she wished.
In the end, Tabitha expressed her desire to join everyone at the amusement park located at the rear, specifically the one designed for youngsters. It was mostly Nina and Callahan who were playing there, while the other adults politely declined.
In the end, despite their resistance, Janice and Rosalie found themselves on the guest list due to persistent invitations.
The following morning, when Isabella descended, she spotted two people struggling in the living room.
âWho told you to come over?â
âWhatâs wrong? Did I embarrass you or something? It was Tabitha who invited me.â
âYou⦠She was just being polite, thatâs all!â
