Chapter 8 He stared at me for a long time , his gaze meaningful , but I still didn't offer to take over the cooking again . After all , who'd waste her time and effort taking care of a man that was never hers ? Damian was too proud and high - and - mighty to ask me to keep cooking vegetarian food for him . But he was also a picky eater . He called his assistant and ordered , " Find me a cook who excels at vegetarian cuisine . Money isn't an issue . I want to have them start tomorrow . Eleanor had appeared timid and quiet throughout the whole time . She finally spoke up , " Ms. Whitmore , I know you're upset with me . It's a bit inappropriate for me to take Maureen to move in like this ... " I interrupted her and said flatly , " Oh ? So , you do know how inappropriate it is . Yet you still shamelessly moved in anyway . Is there really no other place for you in this world besides my home with Damian ? It seems you can't live without wrecking someone else's marriage , Eleanor . " Her expression changed a few times at my harsh words . She instinctively wanted to retort , but she held it back and just looked at Damian through tears . I was the only one who saw her clenched fists under the table . Though Maureen was just a little girl , she sensed the hostility in my tone . Chester B Scared , she ran toward Damian , sat on his lap , and asked timidly , " Daddy , who is she ? She's so mean . " " Don't be afraid , Maureen . She ... isn't a bad person . " Damian shot me a warning glance . But with Eleanor's presence , he didn't snap at me . Perhaps he felt a bit guilty . After all , he brazenly took Eleanor and Maureen back into our home right under my nose , and I behaved so " cooperatively " , not making a scene at all . That was why he didn't dare push his luck further . Could he really expect me to not only accept them but also welcome them with a smile ? Failing to sow discord , Eleanor obviously was displeased . She couldn't even continue to pretend her interest in the table full of vegetarian food . I couldn't help but sneer inwardly . It had been three years since Damian became a vegan , and I , who used to be a total meat - lover , had followed his diet for three years as well . Now that Eleanor wanted to snatch him away , she couldn't even make such a small sacrifice ? I was full . I set down my fork and left the table under their gazes , mixed with different emotions . Back at the guest bedroom , I took a deep breath and looked around at the place where I had lived for almost four years now . Only guests stayed in the guest bedroom , right ? A guest - that was exactly what I was now . Since I didn't sleep at all last night , I wanted to take a nap . Just then , 7613 % 06.02 Chapter someone knocked on the door . I opened it and saw Eleanor standing outside . With a big bag in her hand , she said , " Sorry , Ms. Whitmore . It's your wedding photo with Dami in the bag . He didn't want Maureen to see it , so I'll have to trouble you to put it away . " " Don't bother . Toss it into the trash , " I said deadpan . Then I was about to close the door . Failing to rile me up , Eleanor wasn't going to give up just like that . She quickly held the door frame and said softly , " Ms. Whitmore , Maureen is a secret between Dami and me . We ... have our reasons . You really don't have to be so upset . Once Maureen and I leave , you can still hang the photo back up . " A secret ? She made it sound like they were the victims , and I was the villain who stood in their way . Not bothering to waste my time on her , I grabbed the bag and tossed it onto the floor . 75.50 %
