Housewife Gone Wild by Thanddeus Embereley novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110

I knew right away Yvonne must’ve called Sally and spilled everything. And I’d bet anything she was standing outside the door, eavesdropping.

Yvonne knew I always acted all respectful around Sally, so if she got someone like her to come scold me, I’d have no choice but to behave.

“Sally, spoiling a child is as bad as harming them. If she’s already pulling disappearing acts now, what do you think she’ll do when she’s older?

“Run away from home? Get pregnant out of wedlock? Aren’t you even a little worried about that?” I argued, keeping my tone calm but firm.

Sally looked momentarily stunned, as if the thought had just occurred to her. Her voice softened a bit. “Even if you want to discipline her, you still need to be more gentle. After all, she’s a girl.”

“Sally, every time I try to teach her a lesson, she goes running to you to complain about me. How am I supposed to discipline her like this?” I turned to look at her, bitterness in my voice. “Sometimes, I really just feel powerless.”

Sally was stunned, maybe because it was the first time I actually let my exhaustion show.

“Alright, you two should talk this over and come up with a solution. I’ll take Yvonne to school for now.” Sally let out a sigh. “Jared said he wants to hire a full–time nanny for her.

“Leave it to me. I’ll make sure to find someone Yvonne actually likes.”

I just replied, “Thanks for taking care of it, Sally.”

Sally headed downstairs, and I followed her. Quinn was sitting on the couch, goofing around with Yvonne.

Yvonne was laughing and having a great time, but the moment she saw me coming down the stairs, she immediately pouted and turned her face away.

Seeing this, Quinn put her hands on her hips and said to me, “Victoria, what did you do to scare Yvonne like that? You’re so fierce.”

“Quinn, don’t talk to Victoria like that,” Jared said, his tone gentle but firm. “You guys should head out now.”

Quinn quickly grabbed Yvonne’s backpack, and Sally took her hand, swinging it gently. “Say goodbye to your parents.“”

Yvonne immediately called out loudly, “Bye, Dad. Bye, Mom.”

That kid really knew how to act in front of the elders.

I sat at the dining table, taking my time with breakfast. Jared had already finished eating and was sitting on the couch, talking on the phone.

Maybe I got hooked on eavesdropping in my previous life, but every time Jared got a call, my ears would automatically perk up, and I’d start suspecting it was Tracy on the other end.

And right now, I was doing it again. ‘If he’s got nothing to hide, then why does he always have to take his calls somewhere else?‘ I couldn’t help but think.

Jared walked in and asked, “So, are you going to the office or the hotel today?”

I answered, “The hotel. They’re dropping off some materials, and I want to see for myself.”

Jared hesitated for a second, then said, “You don’t have to handle everything on your own. You can put the people I assign to you straight to work.”

I nodded. “Yeah, I know they’re good, but I just want to pick up more experience.”

Jared didn’t say another word. He just turned and left the house. Soon, I heard his car drive off down the road.
