290–They Want Me Back Now

Nora:

I avoided talking to the girls, but Daphne seemed pretty ruined.

“Mrs. Fisher!” I called for the elderly head maid. She rushed out of the kitchen, drying her hands on her apron, and bowed to me.

“There’s no need for that. You are my elder, I don’t want you bowing to me,” I patted her back with a smile. I preferred getting hugs.

“That is very kind of you, but Alpha Brody has instructed us to be very respectful towards you. Now tell me, what would you like me to cook for you?” she asked, all smiles, even though I could tell she wasn’t very fond of me like the others. But at least she always tried to lighten the atmosphere with her humor.

The others, since they couldn’t be rude to me, just avoided me altogether.

“Umm! Whatever you cook best. I tried your food yesterday, and it was amazing.” I replied. After my downfall, I’ve learned to be grateful for the kindness people show me.

I promised the Moon Goddess that I would never complain about small things. I would always smile and thank her for her blessings. And I would cherish every moment of the good life I have. But there was just one request from the Moon Goddess: to give me back the affection and love of Lord Atwood and his sons.

I would do anything, anything, if they loved me like before. I will not

Just when I thought I could return to my room while my breakfast is being prepared, one of the girls called for me.

“Nora!” Natalya called out to me, making me take a deep breath and turn towards her. But the moment she opened her mouth, I saw April pinch her arm to silence her.

“So how is living here? Do you still-

“Brody will kick us out,” April whispered as she shut her down, but I was able to catch her words clearly.

“Come, have a seat with us,” April patted the spot beside her, but I shook my head in refusal.

“I’ll sit outside in the fresh air,” I murmured. They must think I’m an idiot to ever sit with them again.

“Sure, you can do that too. By the way, are you happy that your stepbrother is coming over just for you?” The way she brought it up again made me raise an eyebrow. I watched Natalia shake her head in disappointment.

She wasn’t pleased that any of the brothers were showing concern for

1. me.

“Just for me?” The petty side of me wanted her to repeat herself.

“As if you don’t know?” she raised her brow, looking slightly

bewildered.

“Anyway, he’s been asking about you. And it slipped out that you passed out yesterday. He made the plan at the last moment, even though he has so much to do in his pack. I think you should contact him and tell him not to bother. Why make him come all the way here

when you’re fine?” She was so cunning.

She wanted me to tell Silas not to come here for me?

I’ve been praying to the Moon Goddess for this moment, and she wanted me to turn away from it?

“I can’t stop him if he wants to come,” I shrugged. Obviously, I was pretty excited deep down. But I had to act cool and not let them try hard to mess it up for me. Daphne rolled her eyes as if we talking so loudly was bothering her. She had not intervened a lot as well. As for Natalya, she didn’t have a mind of her own, she pretty much only waited for April’s signals to do some mischievousness.

“Of course, but can you tell him you can’t go back with him? Don’t you remember how much you stressed out Lord Atwood? Now they’re being emotional and want you back. But you know they’ll regret it once you mess up again,” she pouted shamelessly, even lying while looking me in the eye.

She knew I never messed up. It was those three who made everyone turn their backs on me..

But I was too happy to argue with her.

My prayers had finally been answered. The brothers must have felt guilty for being harsh on me through texts after hearing that I had passed out.

I was finally going back home.
