Chapter 382
Two servants who were attending to the Mendoza family approached Devin and questioned him.
“Devin, are they really Mrs. Blanchet’s relatives? They don’t seem like they’re cut from the same cloth as Mrs. Blanchet at all”
“Tell me about it! They don’t look like they’re here for a visit; it’s more like they’re here to take over our house! They even mentioned about redoing our yard, chopping down that old pine tree, and tossing away all of Putnam’s precious flowers!”
Hearing this, Devin was also puzzled by the Mendoza family’s behavior.
“Alright, it’s none of your business to discuss Mrs Blanchet’s guests. Prepare some more snacks and fruits for the quests! It’s their first visit, we can’t be rude no matter what.”
“Roger that.”
Sheila happily sat on the high–end fabric sofa in the living room, finding it much more comfortable than the one at home. It was so comfy that she was ready to doze off.
But she wasn’t a big fan of the sofa’s style; although it looked posh, it was a bit too old–fashioned.
She was frowning at the mansion’s decor like she was the lady of the house.
“Ugh, why is none of the decor here to my taste?! All these pieces of furniture look so pricey, but they feel a bit dated. I prefer more modern home decor!” Tracy, sitting next to her, chuckled and said, “No worries; when you move in later, you’ll be the lady of the house! You can have it renovated any way you want; just tell Mr Blanchet, and he’ll definitely make it happen!”
Sheila pondered and thought that made sense.
In her mind, she couldn’t help but think of Mr. Blanchet, whom she had seen before. The man who was drop–dead gorgeous from every angle and made her heart flutter.
That man was definitely the most handsome man she had ever laid eyes on.
Even if he wasn’t from the Blanchet family, even if he didn’t have such a prominent status, she would still want to be with a man like that and have a passionate romance.
What was infuriating was that lately, Ellinor had been monopolizing her Mr. Blanchet.
She didn’t know what had happened between Ellinor and Mr. Blanchet, but if there was something, she would definitely give Ellinor a piece of her mind!
Meanwhile, Arnold took the tea from the maid, took a careful sip, and asked, “What kind of tea is this? Why is it so light?”
“This is a high–grade imported black tea; the taste is quite mild. If you’re not used to it, I can switch it to green tea for you.”
Arnold coughed a bit awkwardly, waved his hand and said.
“Ah, no need to switch. By the way, where is Ellinor? Why haven’t I seen her come out to greet me?”
The maid didn’t know how to respond, so she kept silent..
Devin stepped in at the right moment and politely replied, “Mrs. Blanchet is still getting ready, she’ll come down when she’s done. You can enjoy some snacks and tea in the meantime, please wait for a while.”
Arnold snorted, “That disrespectful daughter of mine is acting like a big shot; how dare she treat me like this!”
