Chapter 96
Moira nned to y the piano after Bary left for work. Yet, she found herself unable to muster
the peace necessary, her mind tangled in regrets over the st u pi d things she had done.
She took up her phone and hesitated for a while before she decided to send a message to Juliet.
Juliet, are you up? With that, she added a pitiful doge
meme.
Juliet was always on her phone. Thus, she replied to Moira’s message within one second. You woke
up early on the weekend! Sweetheart, something must be wrong with you.]
Moira felt guilty and lied, [No. I just slept earlyst night.]
Juliet: [Tsk. Yeah. I know you had a great night with Bary, but you don’t have to report it to me in
the early morning.]
Moira: [What? I haven’t said anything yet!]
Juliet: [No words can express it. I got it!]
Moira absentmindedly touched her ears, suddenly remembering why she texted Juliet, so she
hurriedly cut the conversation and changed the topic. [Juliet, you mentioned I like to hug people
when I get drunk. Can you give me more details? Is it a regr hug or more of a bear hug?]
Moira pondered, “I didn’t ck outst night, but I don’t know why I can’t remember everything that
happened. I have no idea how Bary got that scratch on his neck. It was just the two of us at the
vi. If it wasn’t me, could it be a wild cat?
Juliet: Were you drunkst night?
Moira: Well. A little.]
Juliet: [Tsk, tsk, tsk. No wonder you texted me in the early morning! Tell me. Did you take advantage
of your drunkness and do whatever you
Moira: [I didn’t do it! I would never do such a thing!]
Juliet: [You’re just stringing together denials to mask your actions]
want?]
Noticing Juliet could read her like an open book, Moira lost it and spilled everything. I was drunkst
night and can only recall bits and pieces of what happened. So, I’m curious about my behaviors
when I’m drunk. What do I usually do?
Juliet: (Don’t worry. You’re fine. You just like asking for kisses and hugs when you’re drunk.]
Moira cried inside, ‘I like asking for kisses and hugs when I’m drunk?’ Her hand trembled as she
read Juliet’s message, and her phone slipped from her grasp, plummeting toward the floor.
The doorbell rang at this time. Moira picked up her phone and replied to Juliet with a meme. After
that, she went to answer the door.
It was a woman in her forties. She was the housekeeper Bary had mentioned. Once she saw the
door open, she smiled and introduced herself. “Hello, Mrs. Covington. My name is Rose Graham.
You can call me Rose. Mr. Dittman sent me over to help out around the house for you and Mr.
Covington.”
Moira nodded and replied, “Nice to meet you, I always respect experienced experts, so I’ll call you
Ms. Graham instead.”
Rose was okay with either way and responded, “Sere. Mrs. Covington, you can call me anything
you like.”
Moira opened the door wide and stepped back, saying, “Ms. Graham, pleasee in. I’ll show you
around the kitchen.”

Moira weed Rose inside the vi. Heading back to the living room, she suddenly remembered
she was unfamiliar with theyout since she just moved in and was unsure where to find the
kitchen.
Bary’s vi was s p a c o u s, not too cluttered with rooms but still offering plenty of privacy. Each
part of the house had its clear function, Moira felt as if she was lost in a maze when she walked
through the halls. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Luckily, Moira found her way to the kitchen on her third attempt. She led Rose inside and said, “Ms.
Graham, this is the kitchen. Take your time getting acquainted with it.” She felt her cheeks burning
when speaking. After all, she had taken the wrong turn twice before.
