NovelOnlineChapter 789 Martha said it was her parents’ command.
Could this household not accommodate both her and her clothing? She refrained from asking further, exchanged a few words, and then she ascended the stairs. Her retreating figure was somewhat dim and forlorn.
As Louisa arranged some flowers, she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off with Serena today.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCould it be that Serena was upset because she had worn the dress gifted by Arabella instead of the one she had given her? With this thought, Louisa dialed Martha's number again, "Martha, have you ironed the clothes Serena gifted us?" "Madam, are you referring to the recent batch from Serena? She gifts us quite a number of clothes. Since they're of fine quality, | didn't want to ruin them by ironing them myself. I've spoken to the professional ironing service you usually use. They've agreed to take care of all the clothes Serena sent, but they're a bit busy, so they haven't gotten to them just yet." Louisa was taken aback by this turn of events, "In that case, don't bother ironing them. Serena's on leave these days and I'd like to wear some of them." "Madam, I've already sent them to the ironing company. Should | retrieve them? | thought it would be best to get them ironed since the McMillians visit often. If you want, | can fetch them right away.
Oh my.” Martha pretended to wince in pain.
Alarmed, Louisa quickly asked, "Martha, what happened?" Martha chuckled, "Nothing serious. | just took a tumble today." "Oh? When did this happen? Where did you fall? Are you okay? Have you seen a doctor?" Louisa’s concern overpowered any suspicions she might have had.
"No worries, it's just old age catching up. In a couple of years, I'll need to retire." When Serena's glamorous wedding took place and her identity became public, why would she continue as a housekeeper, enduring such humiliation! She would quit and move in with Serena.
Louisa was reluctant to let her go, expressing her gratitude for Martha's hard work before ending the call.
The issue with the clothes wasn't urgent. Louisa advised Martha to rest, and Martha proceeded to text Serena via WhatsApp. After she found no discrepancies on Serena's end, her spirits lifted.
At 8 PM.
A jubilant servant announced, "The McMillians are here, and they've brought a ton of stuff!!" Merely the greeting gifts required eighteen bodyguards to carry them in, leaving everyone stunned with their extravagance.

"Kenneth, long time no see." George warmly greeted Kenneth, shaking his hand and giving him a gentlemanly hug, chuckling, "I've been over the moon these days." "Jennifer, you finally decided to grace us with your presence! It's been ages since we saw you last!" "Oh, Jennifer's been pampered by her husband." Kenneth jested.
"I must say you two look younger, revitalized by your daughter's return.” Jennifer praised them, and the four of them invited each other to sit down.
The eighteen bodyguards carried in all the gifts, arranging them neatly on one side.
"Oh my, Jennifer, anyone who didn't know better would think you were here to propose a marriage, bringing all these gifts."
