Chapter 42

On Saturday morning, while Anna was still sleeping, Tammy pulled her up. “Mommy, time to get up.”

Anna looked at the alarm clock drowsily and said desperately, “Tam, it’s only seven o’clock. What are
you doing?”

Tammy held her arm and wouldn’t let go. She said firmly, “Mommy, it’s the first time that you go to
Uncle Wright’s house. Shouldn’t you get dressed up? Come on. Have a shower. Put some makeup on.
Get changed.”

Holding the pillow in her arms, Anna felt hopeless. Why does my daughter keep pushing me to every
man she meets?

With Tammy badgering her, Anna put on a light makeup and took out a T-shirt and a pair of jeans that
she usually wore on weekends from the wardrobe. Before she put them on, Tammy had taken them
away.

“Mommy, how can you wear these?” “What else can i wear?” “This one.” Tammy pulled out a burgundy
backless dress, “This one is pretty.”

“Are you crazy?” Anna patted on her forehead angrily, “I’m not going to a night club. Besides, this is a
cocktail dress. We‘re only going to your classmate’s house. Do I need to dress so formally?”

“What about this one?” Tammy wouldn’t give up and pulled out another gray-blue dress, “This one must
be suitable.”

Anna took that dress and looked at it carefully for a while. She agreed that it was pretty, but she still
hesitated, “Won’t it be inconvenient to wear a dress? You two will jump up and down.”

“No, we won’t.” Tammy raised her hand and promised, “I promise I will behave myself today.”



“Yeah, like I will believe you.”

Anna was going to ignore her suggestion, but she kept pestering her and wouldn’t let her wear the T-
shirt and the jeans. At last, she could do nothing but to wear that blue dress.

When Anna just cooked the breakfast at nine, Wayne’s butler had arrived at their apartment to pick
them up to the house.

“Mr. Wright has an important meeting, so he’s not at home now. He told me to drive you and Tammy
there first.”

“Alright.” Anna said. The butler was a man in his early forties. He looked stable and drove steadily.

“Too many accidents happened to Matthew during this time. Mr. Wright has been upset and changed
almost all the servants. He didn’t trust anyone now. I’m quite surprised that he invited you to the
house.”

“Probably because I saved Matthew once, he didn’t think I would hurt him.” Anna smiled, though she
couldn’t believe what she said. I‘m surprised, too. Who knows what he was thinking.

Tammy sat up in the child seat and sighed like an adult when hearing them talk about Matthew’s injury.
Anna noticed and asked, “Why did you sigh? You’re still a child.”

“I’m worried about Matthew.” Tammy twisted her eyebrows, “Look. Matthew can’t talk, and he is so
unlucky. I have never seen an unluckier child than him. Mommy, our teacher said Mercury retrograde
made us feel unlucky. Has the Mercury affected Matthew?”

“What Mercury? That astrological thing is so superstitious. Which teacher told you so? I can’t believe
you take it seriously.”



Anna didn’t know whether Matthew was unlucky, but she did feel sorry for him. Thave only known him
for two months, and he has already had two severe accidents. If I hadn‘t warded off the chandelier, he
would probably lose his life. If he had hit his head this time, he would also lose his life. Are these really
accidents? She suddenly became suspicious.

Once they arrived at the house in Kingsford Neighborhood and got out of the car, a little boy rocketed
out of the house and held Anna’s legs.

The maid followed the boy, “Matthew, you haven’t washed your face yet.”

Anna lifted Matthew from the ground, “Haven’t washed your face? It’s alright. I can take him to wash.
Where is the bathroom?”

The maid quickly pointed to a direction. She followed Anna while looking at her up and down and
glancing at Tammy and said, “You must be Ms. Gabriel. You’re really young to have a daughter as old
as Matthew.”

After walking inside, Tammy looked around with sparkles in her eyes. Matthew‘s home is so big! Look
at the staircase! You can walk up the stairs from three entries! There are even elevators in the house!
She immediately started talking with the young maid.

Anna certainly didn’t know what her daughter was thinking. She took Matthew to the bathroom to wash
his face and brush his teeth. She asked, “I’ve brough some snacks I made

this morning. Do you want to have a bite with us?”

Matthew nodded happily.

Anna and the two kids sat at the dining table and opened the lunch box she brought. The maid saw that
Anna was going to feed something to Matthew, she suddenly stopped



her in panic, “Please wait, Ms. Gabriel. Matthew is not allowed to eat food from outside.”

“What?” Anna asked in surprise, with a scone in her hand.

The butler glowered at the maid and rounded on her, “Stop talking nonsense. Mr. Wright’s invitation is a
sign that he trusts Ms. Gabriel. Why can’t you understand? What food from outside? In Mr. Wright’s
and Matthew’s eyes, Ms. Gabriel’s food must be safer than yours.”

The maid went pale.

The butler then ordered, “OK. You can leave. You don’t need to look after Matthew now. Mr. Wright has
told us to make Ms. Gabriel and Tammy feel at home. I’ll call you when necessary.”

After this, the few maids all left.

Anna was finally relieved. She gave the butler a thankful glance, “They finally leave. I feel
uncomfortable to eat under their gaze.”

The butler bowed his head apologetically, “It’s my fault that I haven’t given them the order. Please take
your time. You can call me or any other servant if you want.”

“OK.” After this incident, Anna finally relaxed and enjoyed her breakfast.

Matthew ate a lot this time, two scones and a banana pudding and a glass of milk. The maids were
astonished by his appetite, so they started whispering to each other.

These maids were just hired after the accident, so they were not familiar with the rules in the house and
didn’t realize how imprudent they were to gossip about Anna.

“Why does Matthew like Ms. Gabriel so much?” “It is said she’s the mother of Matthew’s classmate.
That little girl there.”



“That little girl is so adorable. She gave me some sweets just now. Does Matthew have a crush on that
little girl?”

“Stop it. They are still little children.”

“Just kidding! But Ms. Gabriel seems really special for Mr. Wright. The maid who worked here before
said that Mr. Wright never brought women back. Even his fiancé, Miss Xavier, has only come here for a
few times in the past five or six years.”

“Wait. Does Mr. Wright and Ms. Gabriel…”
