Chapter 1811
"I grew up in the countryside," said Annabel. "I'm used to being busy, and I can’t sit still." i
Susan felt an affinity for Annabel when she noticed just how kind Annabel was.
Annabel did seem quite kind and generous. She was pregnant with Anthony's baby, yet she still blessed him and Charmine at their wedding.
"You're considered a missus here, so leave these tasks to the maids," remarked Susan. "Just get some rest, or it’ll be troublesome if the baby is hurt."
Although Susan spoke with an arrogant voice, her tone was caring.
Annabel understood her advice, and a genuine smile spread across her palm-sized face. 'Thank you, Madam."
Susan saw how happy she looked and could not help liking Annabel more. Even a kind word would make Annabel that happy?
What a blameless woman...unlike that Charmine!
That Charmine merely mumbled a 'thank you' when she scooped her food last night, and it was not even that sincere.
If only Annabel was her daughter-in-law, her days would be even better!
Susan could not help taking another look at her before saying, "Go and get some rest."
Annabel nodded. "Alright."
Susan nodded and left.
When she went inside, she saw Anthony coming home with Charmine in his arms. Before she even got that close to them, however, she could already smell the strong scent of alcohol!
She could not help frowning. She looked at Charmine, who was in Anthony's arms, and asked, "Anthony, what's the matter?"
Anthony looked at Susan coldly. He wanted to ignore her, but he recalled that Susan was not too mean to Charmine last night. If he ignored her, she might lash out at Charmine.
Anthony said coldly, "She drank too much."
Not waiting for Susan's reply, he walked past her with Charmine still in his arms.
Susan remained on the same spot and looked at Charmine. She could not hide the displeasure in her eyes.
They just got married, and instead of waking up early to greet her today, Charmine went out to get drunk? How dare she?!
What a shame to the family!
Her mind drifted to the approachable, kind Annabel.
As expected. If there was no competition, there would be no harm!
Annabel was ten to a hundred times better than Charmine! She was not only easy to manipulate, but she was even pregnant with the Baileys' heir!
Susan could not help liking Annabel even more.
She instantly made a call. "Bring me a few boxes of those expensive bird nests."
Everyone sat together on the long table during dinner.
Susan carried a bag full of the exquisite boxes and handed them to Annabel. "Annabel, you're pregnant, and I won't allow you to do the house chores anymore. I asked them to get me these luxurious bird nests. Treat your body well."
Taken aback by the sudden kindness, Annabel looked at Susan, feeling perplexed. She reacted a moment later and quickly waved it off. "T-Thank you, Madam, but I can't take such an expensive gift..." Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Just keep it," insisted Susan. "You're bearing a Bailey inside you. I think of you as my daughter-in-law. Don't be too polite."
As she spoke, Susan nonchalantly gave Charmine the look.
She said this for Charmine to hear to exclude her.
Annabel bit her lip and looked at Charmine uneasily. She put on a look as if she had to accept the kindness and yet did not want Charmine to get jealous.
Charmine noticed her look, and her delicate face remained calm. She did not mind at all. Instead, she said, "Ms.
Annabel, bird nests are good for the skin. Since this is a nice gesture from my mother-in-law, do keep it. Moreover, your physical state isn't all too well, and your face is pale as well. You should eat more of these nutrients. I also bought you some a few days ago.”
With that said, she handed Annabel a bag.
