Then, Courtney finally nodded and said, “I can leave this matter alone, but I don’t want to work here anymore. After this incident, I’m afraid that Miss Bonnie will still wrong me.”
“Mrs. Lowman, please don’t leave us. I’m used to your cooking, so please stay!” Queenie said with reluctance. “Miss Queenie, I, too, have enjoyed working in this family. However, I must go now.”
“No, I can never taste your shrimp chowder or spaghetti anymore.” Queenie’s eyes turned red as she didn’t want Courtney to leave.
“Miss Queenie… I will miss you too,” Courtney said as her eyes turned red.
At this moment, Nigel spoke to Courtney. “Mrs. Lowman, I have a proposal. My house is short of someone to help with housekeeping. Why don’t you work with me? In this way, Queenie can have your cooking again.”
When Courtney heard that, she looked at Nigel with surprise. “Really? I-I can work at your house?”
Queenie was also happy that Nigel gave Courtney a job, so she hurriedly persuaded, “Mrs. Lowman, just say yes!”
“Yes… I will work for you with all my heart,” Courtney responded with tears of joy.
The Silverstein couple was happy for her too. In this way, Courtney had another job without a long search.
There was only one that was unhappy with the outcome, and that was Bonnie. Everything Nigel did today was for Queenie; even the maid accepted the offer to work at his house.
“Thank you, Mr. Nigel. I’m sorry to make you watch this incident. Let’s drink some tea in the hall,” Brandon said.
Then, Nigel turned to follow Brandon to drink tea. On the other hand, Maggie was comforting Courtney. Bonnie’s gaze was fiercely fixed on Queenie. Then, Bonnie walked to Queenie’s side and said through clenched teeth, “Well done, Queenie.”
Immediately, Queenie reached out to Bonnie. “Give me back that jewel.”
Bonnie rolled her eyes. “I don’t have it.”
Queenie, too, was not in a hurry. She would find where the jewelry went and wouldn’t let Bonnie have it.
After drinking tea for a while, Queenie said to her father, “Dad, I want to tell Nigel something.”
Afterward, she commented to Nigel, “Come to my room.”
So, Nigel got up and followed her upstairs. Bonnie stared at them with jealousy as she felt that Queenie deliberately acted that way for her.
“Bonnie, you are grounded. Think about your actions today. Do not talk nonsense if you don’t have evidence to back it up,” Brandon told Bonnie.
Bonnie had lost some affection in her parents’ eyes after this incident, which deepened her hatred toward Queenie.
When Queenie entered the room and saw the box, she curiously came over and took a look. Then, she widened her beautiful eyes. “Why did you buy so many?”
“I won’t allow my woman to go without jewelry to match her clothes.” Nigel closed the door and curled his lips into a smile. “From now on, just tell me what you want.”
At that, Queenie turned around and did one thing she had always wanted to do. She got up and lunged toward Nigel to wrap her arms around his neck as she kissed him on his cheek.
“Thank you. You’ve helped me a lot today,” Queenie stated gratefully.
“Just a kiss?” The man felt that wasn’t enough repayment and that he needed at least a few more kisses.
However, Queenie got a little shy, so she buried herself in his arms and murmured, “I’ll repay you later. I’m embarrassed to do so in my house.”
When Nigel heard that, he leaned down and stamped her lips. “Okay, you must make up next time.”
On the other side, Bonnie returned to her room, and her face turned pale with anger. Courtney’s incident had ended, and she was now defamed in front of Nigel. Not even her parents were on her side. It was the first time she had felt frustrated since she came home.
Bonnie was reluctant, especially after seeing Nigel’s love for Queenie. It made her foresee Queenie becoming Mrs. Gardner.
If Queenie becomes Mrs. Gardner, I can’t act freely in this house anymore.
