âWell, Daniel awkwardly replied. âI was just askingâ
Donât ever pry into othersâ privacy,â Waylon patted Una and said. âThis is called respect!â
âThatâs right!â Daniel said. He felt somehow jealous after seeing Waylon have such fun with Una. Daniel reached out and said, âLet me try But before Danielâs hand could touch Una, he cried loudly. Daniel immediately felt embarrassed and fell silent. Then Daniel extended his hand toward Nessa, who also started crying.
âMaybe you should leave,â Waylon sneered and said, âThey donât seem to like you. Stop forcing themâ
âWhy arenât they like that with you?â Daniel said enviously. âThey seem close to you.â
âItâs fate,â Waylon replied. âWith fate, everythingâs easy. Without it, no amount of effort matters.â
Daniel fell silent. I felt like Waylonâs words had a hidden meaning, but I did not have any evidence. I felt uncomfortable talking to Waylon. Letâs go back to the living room for a cup of tea.
When Daniel returned to the living room, Doris had already prepared the tea.
Waylon smirked behind Danielâs back as soon as he left the balcony.
In a short while, Waylon had put Una to sleep, and Mrs. Flores had done the same for Nessa.
Waylon then rezurned to the living room. When he saw Doris busy alone in the kitchen, he couldnât bear anymore. I must help Doris! Hold on, why should I cook for Daniel? Who does he think he is? I have no reason to cook for him! But If I do not help Doris, she will be overwhelmed. There were many dishes to prepare.
Waylon pondered for awhile and headed to the kitchen. He quickly took an apron from the wall and began preparing the vegetables.
Teaf manage.â Doris said. âYou should rest in the living room.â
âItâs fine, Iâm not tired,â Waylon replied..
Doris looked at him. Waylonâs face was gloomy. Therefore, Doris remained silent, as she knew well about his temper Daniel was in the living room, sitting alone. He saw them working side by side in the kitchen and felt somehow out of place. Therefore, he rolled up his sleeves and headed toward the kitchen.
Doris, let me help.â
Waylon said coldly, âThis kitchen is too small to fit three people.â
Mr. Adelmar, Daniel said, âYou should take a rest and watch the television in the living room. You had been helping Doris all day.â
âTis not into watching television,â Waylon responded. âIâm used to cooking. Since youâre a guest, just sit and waitâ
Dorns and Daniel both fell into silence. What did Waylon mean by that?
In just over an hour, twelve dishes were ready.
Doris called Mrs. Flores to eat after setting up the utensils.
Mrs. Flores felt somehow awkward and intended to eat in her room.
âJust eat here.â Waylon said. âYouâre not an outsider to us.â
Mrs. Flores hurriedly said, âThank you, Mr. Adelmar.â
âMoreover, Waylon said, âFrom now on, Iâll handle your salary. Itâll be double the current amount. If you have any other needs, just let me know.â
Mrs. Flores was startled and said. âThatâs too much!â I canât accept that!â
Waylon said, âItâs fine. Just take good care of the kids.â
Doris said, âMr. Adelmar, how can I accept this?â
Waylon said, âIâm not doing it for nothing. I want you to work for me.â
âI understand.â Doris nodded and said. âIâd still do my best without mentioning it.â
Thatâs good,â
Waylon then asked Daniel, âWhat kind of wine do you prefer?â
