Wenham’s voice echoed from the kitchen, asking if the soup was ready. “Coming,” Darcie replied while
swiftly deleting all the messages on her phone. She gracefully carried the hot soup to the dining area.
“Let Sandra handle these matters moving forward.”
Wenham wiped his hands and continued, “It’s getting cold, and the food will cool down during all the
back-and-forth.”
“Sandra has been busy all night. She’s currently having dinner. We shouldn’t trouble her with these
minor tasks,” Darcie said as she filled another bowl of hot soup for Wenham. “Plus, I’m used to it. I took
care of your mom, remember? It’s not a big deal.”
Wenham paused upon hearing that and refrained from saying anything more.
Darcie had put a lot of effort into taking care of Eleanor over the years. With the wealth of the Saun
family, finding help for such tiring work was easy as long as the pay was good. Eleanor, once a
renowned debutante in Rivera, had be bedridden because of her illness. Her self-esteem suffered
due to the inability to care for herself, and she became depressed.
In her youth, Eleanor was gentle and elegant, but years of illness had transformed her. She often
verbally abused her caregivers, and despite the high sry offered by the Saun family, no caregiver

her son, couldn’t bring himself to do. Darcie’s actions left asting impression on him.

family line for generations. i

circumstances. He was willing to provide her with money, ensuring she and her daughter had a
carefree life. However, Darcie refused, stating that Eleanor wished for them to build a family.

any harsh words.

extremely close with Trevor, she always had his best interest in mind. 3
Their rtionship faced a crack only after Ste entered the family. Wenham had entrusted Darcie with
the responsibility of organizing the banquet to announce Ste’s return, but she chose a less
prestigious venue. Later, although she gave Ste a jewelry store, it still caused trouble with Arnolds.

stepmother.
