Kelly’s POV
“Are you okay? Did she hurt you?” Klay asked worriedly after Amanda walked out on us. My eyes followed her as she stormed out of the dining hall while Klay stayed by my side, looking at me with worried eyes.
“Kelly...”
I took a deep sigh and looked at him as I palmed my forehead. “I feel like she’s planning something against me.”
He looked alarmed because of what I said. He stared into my eyes intently.
“Don’t think about it too much. She just wants to annoy you.”
“She won’t annoy me without a reason, Klay. I know she hates me and I feel like she’s planning something against me. She wants to get rid of me.”
He shook his head, “Kelly...”
I shrugged my shoulders and pressed my lips together. I feel like he doesn’t believe me. So I had to shut my mouth and think about it on my own.
“Sit down. I’ll prepare your breakfast. What do you want?”
“Just...” I took a deep sigh. “...just fresh milk and bread.”
“Okay. Just sit and calm down.”
I didn’t say anything. I just watched him as he put bread on the toaster before he poured fresh milk on the glass.
We didn’t talk much over breakfast. After that, Klay left after kissing me goodbye. I just gave him a small smile as he left. After he disappeared from my sight, I went upstairs to see my dad.
I panicked when I didn’t see him on the bed. A maid came in, and bowed her head at me.
“Where’s dad?”
“Sir Klay told us to bring him to the garden, miss.”
I nodded and went downstairs. I found my father sitting on his wheelchair while staring at the garden of flowers.
“Good morning, dad,” I greeted him with a sweet smile and energetic voice. frёewebηovel.cѳm
He looked at me. His expression told me that he’s actually waiting for me. He grabbed my hand but he paused when he saw the maid standing behind me. She was the same maid who told me that dad was here.
I looked at the maid, “Can you leave us for a moment?”
“I’m sorry, miss. My job is to keep my eyes on Mr. Monroe since he’s ill.”
I sucked my breath. Why do I suddenly feel suffocated in a house that should make me feel at ease? I feel like I’m not free in this house and everyone’s eyes are on me, watching my every move.
Is everyone here on Amanda’s side?
“How’s your sleep, dad?”
He looked at me with his gentle eyes. I just opened a conversation but the truth is I want to know why he’s acting this way. If my hunch was right, I will do everything to kick Amanda out of this house. She’s not welcome in my family.
Dad glanced at the maid behind me again and I was shocked when he suddenly kicked the table on purpose. It wasn’t that strong but the juice spilled and the maid immediately took the empty glass. I stared at dad. He did it secretly but on purpose.
