Chapter 2

“Ugh, this is so boring!” I complained. It really was boring. I was just sitting on my bed, looking outside, with nothing to do. I have no one to play with.

Ah, I know! Why don’t I just clean or cook dinner for us tonight? So I can help, I don’t want to be a burden in this house.

So, I stood up and went down from my room. I followed the handsome Ethan’s instructions on where the kitchen is.

And when I got there, I saw an old maid cooking. So I approached her, and she looked at me.

“Oh, my dear. Why are you here?” she asked me while continuing to cook. It smelled so good!

I was curious about what she was cooking, so I went closer and looked at it. I drooled because it looked so delicious. I didn’t know the name because it looked like a rich person’s dish that Auntie was cooking.

“Can I help? Maybe I can help with something?” I asked Auntie while holding my hands.

“Oh, no, my dear. I can handle this. You’re better off sitting there because your food is already cooked.” She said to me while serving what she cooked.

“Oh, okay, Auntie.” I answered politely and sat down. She served it and then placed it on the big table. She also got cold water and rice, as well as spoons and forks.

“Here, my dear.” She said and handed me the plate with rice. I took it and smiled.

“Auntie, aren’t you going to eat with us?” I asked Auntie while getting some food.

“I-I can’t. Senyorito might get angry, and I’m full anyway, my dear.” She declined my offer. What a waste. Why doesn’t Xavier, Daddy Xavier, let her eat with us? Hayst, that’s so strange!

“Really, are you okay?” I asked again, making sure because maybe she was forced. And maybe she was really hungry.

But Auntie nodded, so I ate. Oh, “hmmm! It’s so delicious, Auntie!” I was so happy with Auntie’s cooking, it was so delicious!

“Thank you, my dear.” She thanked me. I could see on her face that she was happy and proud. “Uh, my dear, what’s your name?” Auntie suddenly asked.

I couldn’t answer right away because I was still putting rice in my mouth. “Aihne Monica Oxford, po. What’s your name, Auntie?” I introduced myself and asked her name.

“I’m Joanna Krupa, 46 years old.” She introduced herself to me.

We talked about our lives, and Auntie said that she’s been working since Daddy Xavier was a child, and she said that Daddy’s always been like that. He doesn’t like women, they have a broken family, and he has tra*ma, so he acts that way.

“That explains it..”

FAST FORWARD

While we were eating and talking, Auntie and I heard a car horn, maybe it was that Daddy.

“I’ll leave you for now, my dear. Senyorito is here.” She said goodbye, I was right. Daddy was already here.

Auntie left and I saw Daddy enter while glaring at me.

“Let’s eat, Daddy.” I offered, but he just ignored me, not even looking at me for a second. Hayss, why is he like that. I’m not bad. I just want him to notice me.

“Please forgive Senyorito, my dear!” Auntie apologized for Xavier’s behavior.

“It’s okay, Auntie.” Even though it wasn’t really okay…
