Chapter 1708


    Chapter 1708


    The nanny, responsible for looking after the young master and miss was at her wits’ end.


    “Ellinor, Adrian and La are fighting over toys, and we can’t stop them. Every time we try to intervene,


    they throw tantrums.”


    Ellinor massaged her temples, feeling a surge of frustration. Recently, she had been too busy to


    properly discipline these two little rascals, and their tempers seemed to be growing worse by the day.


    “Enough! Have you two decided to make my life miserable today?”


    Upon hearing their mother’s stern voice, the two little ones fell silent.


    Ellinor pulled Adrian and La aside, gave them a stern talk, and then punished them by banning


    snacks for a whole month.


    The news of the snack ban led both Adrian and La to wear expressions of utter dismay.


    Ellinor didn’t relent. She handed them some worksheets from preschool and ordered them to practice


    their spelling. She would check their workter. After being punished by their mother, Adrian and La,


    despite their reluctance, obediently began to practice their English spelling.


    Having dealt with the two children, Ellinor exited the room, ready to give Baber his two bags of snacks.


    Just then, the housemaid approached her. “Ellinor, Old Mrs. nchet’s servant came by earlier. She


    wants you to pay her a visit. It seems she has something to discuss with you.”


    Her grandmother wanted to see her?


    Ellinor felt a bit apprehensive. She was worried about what her grandmother might have found out.


    After a moment of thought, she asked the maid, “Where’s Baber? Have you found him?”


    “Yes, young master Baber is taking a nap in his room. Don’t worry, Ellinor; he is fine. You should go see


    Old Mrs. nchet first.”


    Ellinor finally felt a bit relieved and nodded. “Alright. Could you take the two bags of snacks to Baber


    later?”


    “Yes, Ellinor.”


    After giving instructions to the maid, Ellinor turned to leave for Old Mrs. nchet’s room.


    After watching Ellinor disappear, the maid held the two bags of snacks, ready to deliver them to Baber.


    Just then, another maid passed by. “Master Baber is napping now. Don’t disturb him. You can deliver


    the snackster. Let’s go clean the staircase first. The master will be unhappy if he wakes up and sees


    dust!”


    The first maid agreed and ced the two snack bags on a cab, intending to deliver themter.

    As the two maids left to clean, the nanny, who was caring for Adrian and La, came out of the room to


    fetch some water for the little ones. She noticed, the two bags of snacks on the cab. Remembering


    Ellinor’s punishment, she quickly hid them to prevent Adrian and La from seeing them and causing a


    commotion.


    Sophia finished cooking lunch, intending to invite her father to join them and sample her culinary skills.


    However, her father’s assistant informed her he had left for an engagement that afternoon.


    When she asked about the matter, the assistant remained tight-lipped. But Sophia had a hunch about


    what it might be.


    If it were work-rted, there would be no need to hide it from her. Thus, she concluded that her father


    must be out searching for Bertha and Lea.


    She scoffed at the thought of her father being so enraptured by Bertha. Given his status, any woman


    would be at his feet; even young girls in theirte


    teens would swoon for him.


    She couldn’t understand her father’s obsession with Bertha. She was nothing but an aging woman past


    her prime.


    Though Sophia was annoyed, it wasn’t her ce to question her father’s actions. She returned to call


    Marcus and Tristan for lunch.
