Chapter 224
Rupert turned to Sebastian for his opinion but only saw the coldness in his squinted eyes. Sebastian urged, "What are you waiting for? Just do it. If she yells again, just throws her out of the window.”
“Okay,” Rupert shrugged and started to apply medicine to Annie's wounds.
Annie was as good as her word. Shivering out of pain, she bit her lower lip so hard that it cracked. At the end of the treatment, Bonnie blinked back her tears to get it over. This annoyed Sebastian, and he walked away with a poker face.
“Don't take him seriously, Annie.” Rupert comforted her, “He's been alone for a very long time that he might lose his mind."
Bonnie couldn't believe her ears. Sebastian had been alone for a long time? How was this possible? He got a lot of choices, or at least, he's got Bella Jones, right? But there was no easy way to ask this.
At this moment, Joanna took Erika over and they disturbed Bonnie's thoughts by rubbing themselves against her legs. Bonnie's heart softened at her adorable children.
Rupert said, “Okay, so much for today. I'll be back tomorrow."
“Thank you, Mr. Robertson.”
After Rupert left, Annie played with the girls while flipping through the 'Women's Bible' where the rules stipulated what she should do in crazy details.
Erika read the book with arched brows. In her eyes, it was no different from a prisoner!
She whispered to Joanna, “Why does grandma hate mommy?”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Joanna explained, “She doesn't hate your mommy. In fact, she hates any woman who gets close to my dad except the damn old woman.”
Erika was stunned and asked, “Why?”
Joanna shook her head and said, “I don't know. Anyway, my grandma favors her. I heard that she once saved my grandma's life with her marrow.”
It occurred to Joanna that Erika was a fortune teller. “You know that kind of crystal ball thing, don't you? Come on, let's check. I've doubted that story for a long time. She might have lied to my grandma.”
Erika then took out a crystal ball, closed her eyes, and rubbed the ball. After a set of rites, she said seriously, “You're right. Your grandma is not deeply connected with the damn old woman.”
Joanna snapped her fingers and said, “I knew it. She is a liar. Let's find it out. Then we can tell the truth to my grandma.”
“Okay,” said Erika while nodding hardly.
Bonnie stood up to interrupt their chat, “Stay here. I need to find Aliyah.”
“Mommy, have you remembered all the rules?” asked Joanna in astonishment, her eyes widened.
Bonnie shook her head and said, “No, it's too much. So, I'm going to ask for something easy, perhaps cleaning the house.”
Having finished her words, Bonnie lumped upstairs briskly. The girls were stunned as they saw her leaving out of sight, having a weird feeling that Bonnie was a bit happy to be punished.
