Chapter 383
“Tanya, where have you been? I’ve been looking for you everywhere!” Paige called out loudly when she saw Tanya sneaking back in
When she spotted Tanya Creeping in, she raised her voice and questioned her.
Tanya quickly grabbed her mother and shut the door behind them.
Paige looked at her, confused. “What are you doing, acting all sneaky? Did you steal something?”
“Mom, I’m fine. I’m just super thirsty and starving. I need something to drink and eat.”
Tanya hurriedly poured herself a glass of water, then started digging through the fridge. The moment she spotted some strawberries, she grabbed a handful and shoved them straight into her mouth.
“Hey! You little brat, what are you doing? Could you be any hungrier? At least try to be a little hygienic.” Paige scolded, snatching the strawberries right out of Tanya’s hands.
She took them straight to the kitchen to give them a proper rinse.
“Come on, Mom! Hurry up, I’m seriously about to die of hunger here!” Tanya whined.
Paige set the washed strawberries on the table, her face cold as ice. “I told you to go find Sienna and move into the Hart residence. Did you do
it?”
At her mother’s words, Tanya almost choked on her strawberry.
She shook her head in terror. “No, no, no! I’d rather die than go
to the Hart residence! Never!”
Just thinking about being locked up in that pitch–black
room again
enough to scare her out of her wits.
“What’s wrong with you? The Hart family is loaded now, and you’re her cousin. What’s so bad about moving in with them?” Paige asked.
Tanya shook her head like crazy. “Mom, I’m not going, no way! If you want to live there, you go. I heard you were basically chased out after getting a beating last time anyway. You’re tough as nails and can take a hit, so you go ahead.”
“You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting now?” Paige snapped, raising her hand as if to smack her.
Tanya clutched the strawberries and dashed upstairs.
“Mom, hurry up and make dinner. I’m starving!” she shouted.
In the Hart residence, when Winifred heard that Sienna was pregnant, her mind was in complete turmoil. She just couldn’t calm down.
‘Sienna’s actually pregnant? For real? Is the baby Julian’s?‘ she thought, still in disbelief.
“Winifred, Winifred! What’s up with you? Dinner’s ready.” someone in the family called out.
That finally snapped Winifred out of it. She got up and walked over to Sienna. “Sienna, for real? You’re really pregnant? I’m gonna be an aunt?”
It was the first time Winifred had ever grinned so goofily.
Amber huffed, a little put out. “It’s not like you’re the only one becoming an aunt. I’m gonna be an aunt too, you know.”
Chapter 383
“Alright, let’s dig in,” Sienna said.
Vivian was still working overtime at the office, buried in company matters, when Nathan came in with a food container in hand.
The towering office building was dark, with only Vivian’s office light still on.
“Vivian, work will always be there,” Nathan said. “Take a break and have something to eat. I specially got a few of your favorite dishes. Have some while they’re still hot.”
Vivian was buried in her work, not even glancing up from her desk.
Without missing a beat, she muttered, “I’m not hungry. You may have it.”
Nathan let out a helpless sigh, set the food container down, then walked over and gently covered her eyes with his hand.
“Come on, eat something first. You know what they say–food is fuel. You won’t have the energy to keep going if you don’t eat,” he coaxed. Nathan pulled her up and led her over to the glass table. He opened each container one by one, and the mouthwatering aroma of fresh rice and savory meat hit her all at once, making her stomach rumble in spite of herself.
Not finished yet. Will make it up tomorrow.
