Chapter 198 - The Mother-in-law - I
Tessa damped the brush onto the blush and applied it on her cheeks. She then looked down at the blush and sighed. With this weather, her cheeks were naturally tinted pink and she did not even need the blush.
She stood up and moved out of the room. It was time for lunch. She had had a lazy morning and she was practically going to the dining table for brunch.
Should remember every moment of the first time she came here. She had not come here willingly, not at all, it was him that was dragging her through these walls.
It had been so difficult for her to understand the whole concept and it did not help when he had almost shifted in front of her. That day was Your worst nightmare apart from the one when she found him in her home.
"Good afternoon Madam," she had the butler immediately as she entered the dining room. She greeted him back before taking her seat.
She was still very of the manforce toffee had appeared to be anywhere at any time. When she had first tried to escape and had almost crossed the garden he was literally standing two steps behind her telling her that he was following her.
Did he really expect her to believe that?
"I must inform you ma'am that master Quill is coming back for lunch today. He shall be joining you within a few minutes. We will bring out the food when he arrives." He bowed slightly.
"Wh-what?" She spat the water out and looked back at the butler who had already gone out of the room. All the staff in this area was pretty intelligent. They knew when to leave!
Whenever she and that man were alone in one room every staff member always seemed to disappear and came whenever Korr had called them.
The petty man had them on his side!
She looked around the room searching for the man who was not here. She has been deliberately waking up late so that she won't have to eat with him twice. Dinner was enough for him.
It had been quite a many times that she had avoided being up early in the morning even though she was wide awake. She had kept a track of time but that man had taken out the clock from her room very conveniently.
"Fuck me," she whispered and stood up to leave the room. She was not lunching with him.
"I can do that if you want." She jumped at the sound only to find her maid standing at the end of the dining room.
He chuckled, "I understand that you are not having the supernatural hearing but you must pay attention to the entrance and exit of the rooms."
She gulped and just sat down. There was no use to stand up and act like she could actually work back to her room and stay there. She had tried that once and many times before. That only ended in heaven dragging her out of room for opening the door wide enough for him to enter and eat with her. She might as well eat in a space where she could leave any time she wanted.
She sighed and stared at him from the corner of eyes. "Are you just going to stand there, are you actually going to sit? Do you know that man is not going to serve us food unless you sit down?"
He chuckled again, " Gian, won't be serving us food until I tell him to."
She narrowed her eyes at him slightly but thankfully he had started to move towards his seed instead of noticing them. Once he took a seat, he tapped up on the table twice and the service entered with plates of food.
Since she had already not had breakfast decide to eat two servings of everything. The food here was delicious. These people obviously knew how to cook their meat and she loved meat.
"Take some vegetables as well," She watched as Korr called the servant and gave her more vegetables, "I have heard that it is essential for humans to eat greens."
"Yes, we love eating leaves." She admitted, " would you get me some poison ivy?"
The man did not find it funny and his expressions told her that. "That is not funny Teresa. I am only thinking about you."
She shrugged, "I would appreciate it the most if you let me and my niece go back to our world."
Korr ignored that. "My mother is coming to visit us. She is going to stay with us for some time."
She froze. "What?" She muttered.
He repeated, "I said my mother is coming to visit us and she would be—"
"I heard that!" She hissed, "why?"
He frowned, "I was not aware that there must be a reason for a mother to visit her only son."
Tessa narrowed her eyes at him, "Is she like you?"
"Do you mean handsome, intelligent—"
"—overly persuasive, annoying, irritating, ugly—'
"I get your point," Korr interrupted, "no, I am more on my father." He said that as if she would ever have the desire to meet another one of his family members.
She blinked and turned to look in a different direction. If the sun was like this then however his parents were going to be? Was he ahead of them over there truly his parents? What if they were going to pursue her more than he was?
She tutter under her breath. How was it supposed to deal with this person?
She turned to look at him saying that he was enjoying his meat as if he had no care in the world. Of course, he did not because it was his mother who was coming to chew her alive.
"It's not stressful."
She glared at him, "It was not stressful for you when you entered my home without my permission and kidnapped me and brought me into another world."
She placed her head in her hand. How much more?
