Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 335

Besides Emily Welch, regarding the other two servants, I learned something about them.

One of them was Janice who was in her fifties.

The other one was Lacy in her thirties.

Per Shelton's request, the Cowell Family sent Janice to work here. She, who was good at cooking, was the sole chef here.

Lacy was a child of Janice's relative, who had no job. It happened that we were recruiting maids here. So she came to work here upon Janice's introduction.

When I was learning about them, Glenn woke up.

As soon as he, who came downstairs barefoot by himself, saw me, he shouted with his eyes shining, "Mom!"

Running to my side, he climbed to the sofa, climbed onto my lap, and hugged my neck, shouting, "Mom, you are back!"

"Yes." Seeing the shallow scars on his face, I felt a burst of pain in my heart.

I wanted to ask him what Shelton had done to him in the past few days. But Shelton was right upstairs and could come down at any time. I thought about it and asked, "You have been with Mr. Ned these days. Did you get him into trouble?" "Of course not!" Sitting on my legs, Glenn swayed his feet back and forth and smiled with puffy cheeks, saying, "Mr. Ned is very kind to me. He bought so many toys and delicious food for me!"

"Is that so?"

Children never lied.

When I mentioned Shelton, there wasn't any timidness or hesitation in Glenn's eyes.

I knew that Shelton was indeed good to him.

Gently patting his head, I dared not relax at all.

It would be fine if Shelton could be so kind to Glenn all the time. However, if he changed his attitude one day...

That would be what I was worried about.

"Mr. Ned!" Originally, Glenn was in my arms.

All of a sudden, he jumped off my body and ran towards the stairs!

I turned around and saw Shelton walking downstairs.

Upon seeing Glenn, he walked faster, went to Glenn's side, and directly picked him up in his arms, saying, "Why did you go downstairs without wearing socks?"

Although he was criticizing Glenn, there was no hint of accusation in his tone.

As soon as I saw that Shelton picked Glenn up in his arms, I felt that my heart was in my throat. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

However, seeing how Glenn pulling Shelton's hands in his arms and how intimate they were, I knew that I had been oversensitive.

By this time, Janice had finished preparing the meal.

Lacy and Emily helped to bring the dishes over. Shelton sat down with Glenn in his arms.

"Emily, can you help me get a bowl over for Glenn?" I called Emily.

At this time, Shelton, who was sitting opposite me, suddenly looked up and turned to look at Emily.

There was a profound coldness in his eyes. But the look in his eyes soon became a gentle and ordinary one. He turned his head and asked, "Why did you call her like that?"

"Her name is Emily Welch. Since she is at such a young age, I'll call her Emily."

I explained casually.

Shelton didn't ask any more questions. But there seemed to be something else in his eyes.

Failing to figure out what the look in his eyes meant, I didn't ask him anything further.

Putting the tablewares for Glenn next to me, Emily stood aside.

I patted the seat next to me and said, "Come on, Glenn, sit here."

"Okay." Nodding his head, he obediently sat over.

After he sat down, I put some food in his bowl. At his age, he knew how to eat by himself.

Back in Town S, Ryan taught Glenn that no talking over the meal and in bed ever since his childhood. So most of the time over the meal, he didn't speak much.

It was also because Glenn didn't say anything that the atmosphere over the entire meal was exceptionally oppressive.

Neither Shelton nor I didn't say a word. And Glenn focused on his meal.

For a moment, it was surprisingly quiet in the large house.

Only the sounds of chopsticks knocking against the cutlery rang out at times.

After half an hour, I finished the meal. Seeing that there were only a few dishes left in Glenn's bowl, I asked him, "Do you want other dishes?"

"Yes! I want to eat that!"

Glenn pointed to the green broccoli and said.

As I was about to pick up the chopsticks and put broccoli in Glenn's bowl, Emily walked over to me and said, "Let me help you, Madam."

As she said, she fetched a new spoon and divided the broccoli into small pieces before putting them onto Glenn's plate.

Seeing that she was so skilled, I couldn't help but ask, "Do you do these things frequently?"

"Yes." Emily put the spoon back in the kitchen and said while standing on the side, "When I was a child, my parents were busy. And it was me who took care of my two younger brothers. So I am very good at taking care of children."

"I see."

Hearing this, I, who probably had a good impression of Emily, planned to leave Glenn at home after getting acquainted with Emily sometime later.

I thought that it probably would work if I left Glenn to Emily.

"Yes, my two younger brothers are so naughty. They who are six years old have to be fed by me, let alone at four years old. Young Master isn't the same as them. He is smart and sensible. And he can eat by himself at such a young age." It turned out that Emily was a chatterbox.

As soon as she started talking, she would talk continuously.

Hearing Emily's words, Glenn revealed a proud look on his little face.

Straightening his back, he looked pretty proud. Picking up the spoon, he began to eat the broccoli.

He ate them all bit by bit.

Then he pointed at broccoli and said, "I want more."

"Okay, okay." Emily put the chopped broccoli in his bowl and continued, "oh, judging from Young Master's look, he surely is quite promising after he grows up. And he surely can achieve great things. If my two brothers were half as promising as you, I would not feel that I had dropped out for nothing. Unfortunately..."

Speaking of this, Emily looked regretful.

At this time, Shelton, who had been eating, looked up at Emily and asked, "Aren't your two brothers good?"

Upon hearing Shelton's question, Emily felt a little embarrassed right away, saying, "No, no, I'm sorry. Continue your meal. I'm sorry to disturb you all."

As Emily said, she ended the topic quickly.

Per the rules, the maids couldn't speak when the host's family were having a meal.

Being a newcomer, Emily was a lively person. As long as she started a conversation, she could talk endlessly.

Generally, many people didn't like the servants to act like this.

However, in my opinion, it wasn't bad for Emily to be like this.

After all, based on the relationship between Shelton and me, we might not communicate with each other frequently in the future. With two dull hosts at the house, it wouldn't be bad for a maid to be talkative.

As I was about to speak up for Emily, I heard Shelton say instead, "No, you can continue. You have a good character. So stay at our house from now on."

As he spoke, there was a gentle smile on his face as usual.

"Thank you, Sir. Thank you!" Emily put on a bright smile.

Shelton raised his hand and said, "You can continue to talk about your family."

"Okay." Hearing this, Emily became unscrupulous. Standing aside, she began to tell us how her two brothers were so good-for-nothing.

As she spoke, all of a sudden, it was lively at the dull home.
