Chapter 36 Morning comes. Damianâs mood looks good so far. Outside, the sun has been heating the earth. Livia looked at the man in front of her while mumbling alone.
He really didnât consider last nightâs incident a sin, and Livia just fell silent.
âTell Mr. Matt to bring breakfast to the room.â
*Okay, my darling,â
Damian went into the bathroom while Livia came out of the room. Trembling in annoyance, she gripped the stairs. Remember what happened last night, when she woke up and screamed in surprise because Damian hugged her again. But what ended up happening instead made her grit her teeth in annoyance. âYou really took advantage of the opportunity because I was good to you, huh.â Damian kicked Liviaâs leg under the blanket. âWhat!â She half shouted.
âHow dare you raise your voice in front of me.â
âIâm sorry, my darling.â Livia was covering her mouth tightly with her hand.
âYou want to hug me?â
âNo, youâre the one who approached me.â âHaha, so you said I wanted to hug you?â
âNo, itâs not like that. Then Iâll just move to the sofa so you can sleep comfortably.â Livia chose to run away from this situation.
âIf you want to sleep on the couch forever, just sleep over there.â The threatening words made her freeze, and she stayed asleep in bed. Livia was furious when she remembered what had happened last night. This man clearly arbitrarily hugged her and kissed her.
She grumbled in her heart but didnât forget to check on the situation at the house.
âWhy are you going down alone? Whereâs Damian?â Mother-in-law was already sitting in the living room, waiting with Helena.
Turns out she was staying, and Livia just knew it.
âHe was still showering.â
âThen why did you come down?â
âMaster Damian wants breakfast brought to the room.â
âWhat!â
Livia turned to Helena, who was still sitting. Now her face was down. Somehow she felt sorry for the girl too. During the wedding, other than the time he pretended to be sick, never once did breakfast be -passed without eating together at the dinner table. This is the first time he wants to have breakfast in his room because there is a girl from his past in this house.
âItâs okay, Auntie. I really shouldnât be staying here.â Livia left the two women who were comforting each other. She turned her head when she heard a commotion from the back of the house.
âWhatâs the commotion outside?â
Livia gave information to Mr. Matt to prepare breakfast in the room.
âWhatâs the commotion behind, Mr. Matt?â
âAssistant Brown is disciplining the maid. Iâll prepare breakfast for a while.â
âWhat?! Disciplining the maid, what is that madman going to do?â Livia turned to her mother-in-law and Helena, but they did not care.
Then she went alone to the back house. The place she used to spend time with the maids of this house.
Slap! Slap!
Livia froze for a moment. She was surprised. Fortunately, she soon realized that she could not be silent.
âAssistant Brown, what are you doing?â Livia was already standing between the three maids bowing their heads and the angry-
faced Assistant Brown.
Pain ran down their cheek, but they dared not touch. Assistant Brown hung his hands in the air, and he was stunned for a moment. âIâm sorry, Young lady, for causing a ruckus.â Brown took two steps back while bowing his head. He apologized to Livia for causing such a fuss instead of apologizing for slapping these three maidservants. Of course, Livia was not really familiar with them, but this is outrageous. Liviaâs eyes wandered around, and she found Maya and the other servants standing in a line not far from him. They all lowered their heads.
âWhy did you slap them?â Livia firmly asked.
âI am disciplining these three maids, miss.â
âWhatâs their fault?
âNo, itâs not a mistake, but what theyâve done.â
Livia was furious to hear Brownâs answer. He answered honestly, but the answer was annoying to her ears.
âJust as you must obey the rules that the young master has made, so do the servants in this house, Young lady.â
Gulp!
Livia has forgotten this fact. She is also nothing more than a servant in this house. âBut I donât like seeing your violence in disciplining the servants.â âOkay, Young lady, Iâll be careful and not do it in front of you.â
Livia was stunned. She couldnât spit a word.
âFollow me!â Finally, Livia grabbed Brownâs hand, who couldnât help but follow her. After moving away from the back house, she let go of his hand. âNow tell me, what did they do wrong?â
âTheyâre talking about you.â
âMe?â Livia pointed at herself.
âThey say that you are not worthy in all respects with the young master, and it is Miss Helena who is far more deserving than you.â
Livia feels ashamed to hear Assistant Brownâs honesty. But why is he angry? This is a fact.
âI thought it was a misunderstanding? Havenât you gone too far? Anyway, you just need to rebuke them. No need to slap them.
After all, what they said is true.â
Assistant Brown gave a cold smile, and it was so scary. âYoung lady, do you know how much the maidsâ salary in this house is?â
Livia shook her head. She was also curious about their salary.
âTheir salary is five times higher than the usual maid salary. Thatâs not including bonus money and overtime.â
âWhat?!â
âAnd they are paid that much not just for work but for closing their eyes, ears, and mouth about everything that goes on in this house.â
âBut they were just chatting.â
âThey are talking about you, the lawful young lady of this house, the wife of Master Damian.â
Why does that sound cool and scary at the same time?
âHey, Assistant Brown. You clearly know what my position for Master Damian is.â
There was actually nothing to be proud of in her status as a young lady in this house.
But, the Assistant didnât take her words seriously and said, âLooks like youâve been here too long, Young lady. Please go back inside, The young master must have finished preparing himself, and itâs time for breakfast.â
He changed the subject. But itâs true, and she has been too long.
âPlease let them go.â
âOkay, Young lady.â
Livia was about to turn around when Brown shook his head. Although he was annoying, she was sure that if Brown had said he would let them go, it meant that the servants were safe. .
âMiss, if I may advise you, you donât have to tie your hair in earnest.â
âWhat? What does he mean?â
