Chapter 39
People she met on the way would greet her. “Young Mistress.”
“Young Mistress.”
Diana looked at her mother, who kept her head down and was walking in front of Diana, and felt a slight
sense of belonging. Whenever a maid walked by, Diana would smile in acknowledgement.
However, those maids seemed a little surprised. They evidently walked faster after seeing her nod in
their
direction.
Diana didn’t think much of it. Although this wasn’t her first time coming to the Winnington family’s house,
it was the first time she’d stayed here without getting into an argument. This feeling of warmth didn’t
come easy. And so, Diana appreciated it a lot.
After walking through a 30–feet–long corridor, Diana and Kate finally arrived in the dining room. There
was a large, round table in the dining room. It looked much more suitable for a big family than the long
table in the Fulcher family’s dining room.
“Have a seat.” Kate might not have a lot to say, but she no longer seemed as angry as before. Diana
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcould sense Kate was actually being nice.
Diana looked around in the dining room, but her gaze eventually landed on Kate once again.
She suddenly felt as if she was stuck in a trance.
So… This was what it felt like to sit with her own mother at the dining table.
Diana felt warm in her chest. She removed her earrings. “Here. These are for you.”
Kate seemed a little surprised. “Why are you giving these to me?”
“I didn’t bring any gifts today.” Diana knew Kate liked the earrings, but she didn’t want to make it too
obvious. “I wasn’t considerate enough. Just keep them.”
These earrings were high–quality triple–loop jade earrings. Kate had a look of pleasant surprise in her
eyes, and her smile grew wider. “Oh, silly child. This is your home. Why are you being so polite?”
Diana glanced at Kate with surprise. She couldn’t believe Kate would say something like this.
Suddenly, she regretted not having visited Kate once since she got married.
Kate might have been waiting for her to show her vulnerable side. As long as Diana took the first might
try to accept her. After all, they were mother and daughter.
step,
Kate
With this thought in mind, Diana mustered the courage to stand up while removing her earrings. She
then asked a maid to bring some alcohol to disinfect the earrings before personally helping Kate to put
them on. Don’t move,” Diana said.
”
She held onto a somewhat panic–stricken Kate. “It’s almost done.”
Diana touched Kate’s ears. Her touch felt like a warm fire in the middle of winter. Kate’s heart instantly
melted. Her daughter…
Kate owed her far too much.
She couldn’t resist grabbing Diana’s hand. She was about to say something when a woman’s shrill voice
interrupted her thoughts. “Madam.”
The woman was Lucy Landon, the maid responsible for everything in the kitchen. “When did Miss Diana
come home? Why didn’t you inform me? None of the ingredients in the kitchen are to her liking. This
makes
me look bad.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucy was merely a maid, but she sounded as if she was reprimanding Kate.
Diana looked at Lucy’s outfit. Lucy was wearing high–end clothing, and even her apron was from L.
Lucy’s sudden interruption disrupted the peaceful environment Diana and Kate had worked so hard to
create.
Diana decided from a single glance that she didn’t like this woman.
Besides, she couldn’t recall anyone in the Winnington family knowing the kind of food she liked.
In fact, even Kate might not know what Diana liked or didn’t like eating.
However, it might be the case that the maid was cooperating with Kate. She intentionally said they didn’t
have many ingredients in the kitchen to show how much they valued Diana. It was their way of showing
Diana respect.
After all, Diana was greeted by many maids on her way here. It wouldn’t be surprising if the entire
Winnington family knew about her return.
Diana was in a good mood, so she was able to let things slide and be the bigger person. “It’s fine. I can
eat anything.”
Lucy seemed to look down on Diana for a brief moment, but she managed to conceal it very well. Her
emotions didn’t show when she looked at Diana. “In that case, I’ll get the kitchen staff to prepare a few
dishes.”
