Chapter 94


    Tm no match for Elgin, but I can take care of others for you,” Vidonia whispered, “Don’t get worked up


    over someone like Odetta, it’s not worth it, especially since you’re pregnant


    “Alright.


    Little did they know, this whole scene was caught on the surveince camera overhead.


    Elgin watched the entire thing.


    When he wasn’t around, Letitia’s smile was wider than usual. Her eyes were bright and lively; they


    curved like crescent moons when she genuinelyughed, just like when he first met her.


    When she was up to something, her eyes darted around, and her face was an open book of little


    expressions


    But what about the Letitia in front of him? Lifeless, eyes downcast, she looked like a tame little kitten


    But the moment she was rubbed the wrong way, out came those sharp ws, ready to scratch a mark


    Elgin thought, he had turned her into this Maybe, with time, Letitia would lose her spark and her


    dreamspletely.


    “Mr. Ramirez? Mr. Ramirez?” Ranen called out a few times, “What are you thinking about?”


    Hezily lifted his eyes, “How do you preserve a woman’s childlike innocence?”


    Huh? That question was out of his league again.


    Ranen thought, why has Mr Ramirez been asking questions about womentely?


    He’s as clueless as theye when ites to romance. If it was about work, Ranen could answer


    fast, professional and correct. Does he now need to hit the books on love psychology?


    “Cat got your tongue? Elgin leaned back into his chair.


    “Well, Mr. Ramirez. I think Ranen scratched his head, racking his brain, “with love, right? Love should


    do the trick.”


    “Love?”


    “Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ve heard the ultimate way to love a woman is to pamper her like you would a


    daughter. With that kind of pampering and indulgence, she’s bound to keep her innocence”


    “Daughter?” Elgin slowly said. He couldn’t help but imagine, if he had a daughter, he would indeed treat


    her like a princess, give her everything, make her the happiest little girl in the world.


    The Ramirez family, three generations of boys. If a girl came along, she would definitely be spoiled


    rotten.


    He wondered whether Sh was carrying a boy or a girl. And Letitia’s… Elgin’s expression turned cold,


    that wasn’t his child, none of his


    concern!


    “How’s the prenatal checkup going at the hospital?” he asked, “When is the expert arriving at


    AquaCity?”


    “They’ll be here this week, I’ve been keeping tabs.”


    Elgin waved his hand dismissingly and picked up his phone.


    Sh constantly sent a stream of messages, updating Elgin incessantly about her activities, which he


    found rather bothersome.


    If it weren’t for that one night, if it weren’t for the baby, Elgin would never have chosen Sh.


    Never.


    As evening fell and night descended, the servants at Ivory Towers kept their grievances to themselves,


    because Ms. Ward was just too high-maintenance.


    Always nitpicking, and if things weren’t done her way, she would scream and shout


    Compared to her, Mrs. Ramirez was truly gentle and quiet, cultured and sensible!


    The butler had no choice but to patiently serve her.


    “I know everyone’s fed up, just bear with it, she’s just trying to unt her newfound status and power,”


    the butler consoled the servants, “Don’t take it to heart, just keep working.


    In the living room, Sh sat on the couch, scolding a servant, “Can’t you do anything right? Look at this


    mess!”


    Tre sorry Ms. Ward”


    “Forget it,” Sh sald impatiently. “What time is it now, why isn’t Mr. Ramirez back yet?”


    The butler replied. “Mr. Ramirez has dinner n tonight, he’ll bete.”


    have to dine alone?


    “Yes”


    What about Letitia!” Sh asked again, “Howe I don’t see her, a mere employee?”


    ‘She’s busy working on her design drafts”


    Sh grew more imitable. Ever since she hatched her abortion n, she had been eager to get it over


    with. Everything was ready, only Letitia was missing!


    If Letitia didn’t show up, the whole plot couldn’t unfold!


    Finally, around nine o’clock, Letitia came home.


    Sh perked up, sitting up straight on the couch, waiting for Letitia toe in so she could give her a


    piece of her mind! But she didn’t catch a glimpse of Letitia at all


    “Where is she! Didn’t she juste home?” Sh demanded, “What is she hiding for!”


    “She went to the servants’ quarters, ma’am.”


    Turns out, Letitia hadn’t set foot in the main vi at all and headed straight to her own ce.


    She didn’t want to see Shs face.


    “Heh, she thinks she can avoid me? No way!” Sh stormed off towards the servants’ quarters, all


    guns zing.


    Letitia had just put down her bag when she heard Sh’s voice outside, “Letitia,e out!”


    She frowned, what kind of scene was this woman making now? She decided to just ignore her.


    But Sh kept on ranting, “Why, are you too scared to face me? You spineless thing, Letitia! If this


    ce wasn’t beneath my status, I’de in and drag you out myself!


    Her voice was so loud it hurt the ears


    That’s when Letitia stepped out. Are you causing trouble because you’re bored?”


    “How dare you say that to me?”


    “What about it?” Letitia retorted, “Aren’t you also pregnant? All that yelling and screaming, have you


    thought about the baby?”


    “Heh, finally showing your true color?”


    “What, you can’t survive a day without pestering me?” Letitia leaned on the door frame, “I’m not as free


    as you, I’ve got tons of stuff to


    take care of


    Sh snorted, “Yeah, lucky me, something you’re jealous of.”


    “Oh, got anything else to say? Get it all out, I’m off to wash up and go to bed.”


    “I’m not here to argue with you,” Sh replied, “Letitia, remember your dad got scalded with boiling


    water in jail?”


    Letitia’s expression slowly grew grim.


    Oh, she definitely remembers. That grudge, it hasn’t slipped her mind.


    Her dad, after enduring the hellhole of prison, already up there in years, had to suffer through the


    agony of being scalded with boiling water, a fate worse than death…


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    And the boiling water? It was none other than Sh who chucked it on him!


    *Remember now, do you?” Sh cracked a smug smile. ‘Don’t worry, your old man’s doing alright.


    After all, the cash you coughed up did some good. But as for your mom, well, that’s a whole other


    story.”


    “Sh! What the hell are you nning?”


    “Me? I haven’t done a thing! Just.. paid a little visit to your mom.


    Letitia clenched her teeth and stormed up to Sh, “Who the heck gave you permission? You stay the


    hell away from her!”
