Chapter 1903
Punished by His Love
Chapter 1903
Hearing Delmont and Brooke calling her a little beggar, Eira actually felt very sad. However, once
she thought of the purpose for her coming that day, Eira could only clench both her fists tightly
and tried her best to force a smile on her face, she looked at Brooke and Delmont. "Mister
Stevens and Miss Stevens, I am not here to ask for something today. I am here to thank you.
Two years ago, you had given me two new clothes and a pair of new shoes. I have always
remembered that. I have always wanted to repay your kindness. However, I knew that you were
not lacking in anything, so I didnât know how to repay you. Therefore, I was thinking that I can
serve Miss Stevens. Firstly, it's to repay your kindness. Secondly, it's also to earn a little money,
just being able to cover my basic needs would be enough."
Eira looked at Brooke. The way Eira looked at that moment made Brooke extraordinarily
satisfied. The word serve, in particular, made Brooke beam. Such a little beggar only deserved to
work to serve others. When Brooke saw that although Eira was dressed in tattered clothes at
that moment, she indeed looked clean, Brooke instantly lifted her chin arrogantly. Then, Brooke
said to Eira, "Youâre dressed considerably clean today. If you want to come home and serve me,
you can. I am in a good mood today, so I will let you earn a little money."
Brooke had a high and mighty look on her face, then she rolled her eyes at Eira before walking
straight into her house. Eira heard that Brooke had agreed, so she looked at Delmont and Joy
with an anticipating expression.
"Joy, look, this..."
"What are you doing looking at me? It's this all because you've not handled it well? Brooke had
already agreed now, so what else can I do? Delmont, youâd better have that trouble of yours in
the past taken care of. Donât let her keep sticking around every other day like a piece of gum.
She said she wanted to earn a little money, she just wanted to come and ask for money, didnât
she? We've always been giving her living expenses every month. Such an insatiable one!" said
Joy, as she glanced at Eira with disgust and went in as well.
After Eira saw Brooke and Joy had left, only then did she dare to timidly and faintly call Delmont
dad with tears in her eyes. Delmont shuddered slightly when he heard her calling him dad. He
looked at Eira with a slightly pale face. "Didnât you promise me to never let Brooke know? What
are you doing here now?"
"Dad, I truly just wanted to earn some money. I will not put you in a difficult position. The house
that we're renting is going to be demolished. Mom's small wooden shed is gone. Now, Mom..."
"Enough!" When Eira mentioned Eirwen, Delmont's expression turned hard and he stopped her.
when he saw Eira seemed to be startled, only then did Delmont take a deep breath, and then
said with a softened tone. "If you want to go in and serve Brooke to earn money, I can just let
you be. However, no matter what, you canât let Brooke know the relationship between you two.
Do you hear that?"
"I heard it," answered Eira, as she obediently hung her head.
Eira followed Delmont all the way into the mansion. That kind of misery that was spreading from
the bottom of her heart suddenly came over her and made her feel like crying. She was also
Delmont's daughter, and Delmont's blood also ran in her veins. However, that winter that year,
she did not even have any decent winter clothing at all. The place she was staying at was
beyond disrepair and wind was coming in everywhere from the windows. However, Brooke was
staying at such a luxurious mansion.
Richness was showing everywhere in this mansion. If any random part of the landscape was
sold, the money would have been enough for their family of three to live for a long time, why was
it that they were both Delmont's daughter, but she and Eira were living such drastically different
lives?
Eira did not know much in the past, she just knew that other people had fathers, and she also
wanted to have a father. Therefore, every time she saw Delmont, she behaved obsequiously and
tried her best to please him. She thought that Delmont would be nicer to her like that and would
visit her more often. However, she was already ten years old at that moment, and she knew that
all of that was not possible anymore. It was her father who abandoned her mother. At that
moment, Delmont only thought the further away he hid from them, the better it was. He did not
want to see them again at all.
