Chapter 237: It Began
Azure stood at the entrance for a while, watching as they replaced the sign for “Thornfield Gardens” with that of “Merrydale Estate”. The reason for the name change was clear to her.
Undeterred, Azure proceeded with her luggage into the villa where Terrence Sterling and Meredith lived. Terrence and Meredith were having breakfast when Mrs. Wooten led Azure inside.
Mrs. Wooten said to Terrence Sterling, “Mr. Sterling, I’ll take Miss Azure to her room.”
“Alright,” Terrence Sterling responded, not lifting his head or sparing Azure a glance, as he poured some milk for Meredith.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Meredith remained silent, puzzled by his behavior. She continued eating her breakfast quietly, curious about what Terrence intended to do. She never believed there was anything serious between Terrence and Azure, or he would at least not bring her home.
Meredith’s appetite was poor; she liked pickled cucumbers and her breakfast was simple-sandwiches, pickles, and eggs. Terrence, concerned about her nutrition, had the nanny prepare a more substantial breakfast, which Meredith didn’t care for.
Left in the living room, Mrs. Wooten said to Azure, “This way, Miss Azure.”
Azure, distracted, followed Mrs. Wooten to her room. “Miss Azure, your toiletries are ready in the bathroom drawer, and several outfits have been prepared for you. If you need anything, just let me know…”
Azure was preoccupied with the image of Meredith and Terrence having breakfast. It was the kind of domestic scene she had once longed for-natural, harmonious, and blissful.
Interrupting Mrs. Wooten, Azure said, “Could you unpack my luggage? I’m a bit hungry.”
“Of course, you go have breakfast, and I’ll take care of it,” Mrs. Wooten answered with a smile.
Azure went straight to the dining room and sat down, “I haven’t had breakfast yet.”
Terrence Sterling instructed the nanny, “Please prepare breakfast for Miss Azure.”
Despite the situation, Terrence wasn’t stingy enough to refuse breakfast to a guest.
Meredith glanced at Azure and continued eating her own meal.
Just as the nanny brought out the utensils, Terrence said to Meredith, “I’m heading to the office now. Don’t eat too much, remember to eat little and often, and take a short walk.”
Meredith waved him off, “Yes, you remind me every day, it’s becoming a nag.”
With that, Terrence kissed Meredith on the cheek as usual and left.
Meredith felt embarrassed by the affection displayed in front of Azure, her cheeks turning red.
After Terrence left, only Meredith and Azure remained in the dining room. Meredith got up, “Miss Azure, please enjoy your meal.”
Azure stopped her, “Meredith, it seems my moving into Thornfield Gardens didn’t upset you at all? You must understand what he means though.”
“I don’t really understand, but I trust there’s nothing serious between you two,” Meredith responded coolly. “You are our guest, Miss Azure. If you need anything, just let me know. I’m going back to my room for a nap.”
Meredith yawned, genuinely tired.
Azure, frustrated by Meredith’s calm demeanor and Terrence’s disregard, blurted out, “Don’t think just because you’re pregnant, you can control him!”
Meredith frowned, “Miss Azure, my personal matters are not your concern.”
“Just want to remind you not to deceive yourself,” Azure retorted, pulling out her phone to show a video.
Meredith’s face changed at the sight.
The video displayed Azure and Terrence in a pretty close position…
