Chapter 2008 I Will Always Wear It
“This is Maya’s favorite lucky item. It was given by a friend on her birthday. Maya hopes that it can bring good luck to Wilbur.” Nicholas was silent. Good luck?
What good luck can an object bring? Dream on! If Wilbur can survive for the rest of his life, that is good luck enough! “You’re so kind to my brother, Maya. Wilbur, this is her present to you? Well, you must wear it with care!”
Wilbur held the ball tightly, ignoring him. When Rodney arrived home from outside, seeing Maya, he immediately greeted her politely. “Hi, Maya, when did you come here?”
“It’s been some time already.” Rodney glanced at the high-end mahogany tea table and threw a tantrum. “Why is there no tea or pastries being served? Is this the way the Simpsons treat our guests?”
Mabel rushed downstairs in a hurry. “Mr. Simpson, we don’t see Maya as an outsider, so we did not treat her like a guest. She only cares about looking after Wil. Even if we make tea, she wouldn’t care about drinking it.”
“How rude! Maya is looking after Wil! What are the maids for?”
Zayden glanced around thoughtfully. Then he told Rodney about how he saw Wilbur picking up fruit from the ground to eat but the maids did nothing about it. Instantly, Rodney glared at Mabel in fury. “What happened?”
“M-Mr Simpson, it’s my fault. I was discussing the company business with Nic. So, for a while, I was not watching Wil. Wil was… Mr. Simpson, it was my fault. I’m sorry.”
Wilbur stood by quietly, not saying a word. However, Maya spoke up for Mabel, explaining that Mrs. Simpson had many responsibilities and it was understandable that sometimes she could be so occupied that she could make a mistake. Mabel was taken by surprise when Maya made excuses for her and she agreed repeatedly. Then, she praised Maya for being understanding and a truly well-brought-up daughter of a reputable family.
Maya glanced at her and changed the topic. She said it was understandable for Mabel to make a mistake, but the Simpson family should not permit the maid to watch Wilbur eat fruits fallen on the ground and do nothing to stop him.
“T-This is not permissible in the Simpson family. The maid is ignorant. I will punish them later.” Mabel explained hesitatingly.
Zayden pouted. “I don’t think the maid is ignorant. She is too obedient and she did not dare to do anything.”
“I think so, too. Definitely, someone stopped her.” Joy reaffirmed his words.
“You, you two kids. What are you talking about? I love Wil more than my own son. I…”
“Silence!”
Rodney growled and Mabel stopped talking angrily.
Since Maya had brought this matter up, she had to be given a satisfactory answer.
Wilbur was no longer sane and therefore of no help to Maya in any way. The Simpsons had to please her lest she left him and the Simpson Group would lose the support of the Seet Group. This was indeed a heavy loss for the company.
Rodney pondered for a while, and then handed Wilbur’s food and drink expenses to the butler. Then he deliberately emphasized, “If Mr. Wilbur is not taken care of properly, you know the consequences!”
The butler was trembling. “Yes, Sir, I will do my best to take care of Mr. Wilbur!”
Rodney turned toward Maya. “Don’t worry. Wil has an important position in this home and in my heart. He will always be my most beloved and favorite son.”
Maya was pleased with the way things turned out.
However, Nicholas and Mabel showed great displeasure in their countenances.
If not for his relationship with Maya and hence, the Seet family, Rodney would never give this idiot such special treatment.
It seems that we must think of a way to cut off the relationship between Maya and Wilbur.
If Maya remains totally devoted to this idiot and gives birth to his offspring, we will have no place in the Simpson family.
As Maya left, she secretly repeated her instructions to Wilbur never to take off the magic ball even when he went to bed.
“I understand. I will wear this all the time.” Wilbur nodded and he wore it all the time.
Maya was pleased. “That’s a good boy!”
Wilbur laughed as he watched the three of them leave.
