This finally snapped Petra back to reality. She awkwardly mentioned that she had prepared Tabitha’s favorite dish and would bring it to her later.

Tabitha flashed her a faint smile. “I even brought presents for you and Heidi. Is Heidi coming over today? Tell her to drop by. It’s been quite a while since we last met.”

Petra’s expression faltered for a moment, and she offered a forced smile.

After Tabitha finished speaking, she stepped forward and took Isabella’s arm, intending to head toward th main building..

“Who is Heidi?” Isabella asked curiously.

“Heidi is Petra’s daughter. She’s the same age as me. We went to the same school and had such a great tim together,” Tabitha said with a bounce in her voice.

Isabella didn’t give it much thought, it was merely a casual inquiry.

With the arrival of Hansel and his family, the atmosphere at home finally started feeling like a major birthday celebration was underway.

Tabitha was genuinely charming. Even the stern Lionel couldn’t help but break into a wide smile around her. She truly embodied the essence of a little princess.

When he returned to the building for the young that evening, Tabitha had followed him. She seemed to have endless words to share, fueled by an inexhaustible energy.

But as soon as she showed up, Petra appeared too, immediately bringing her favorite dessert. She was rather perfunctory with the other young masters and young ladies, serving them the same way over and

over.

Naturally, no one would compare themselves to Tabitha.

Thrilled, Tabitha went to fetch the gift. Then, she joined Petra at the table for a heart–to–heart chat.

“Where’s Heidi? Didn’t she come?” Tabitha asked, puzzled.

Petra immediately said, “Oh, we’re just housekeepers. Since when do housekeepers bring their families to their employer’s home for fun? She isn’t worthy of such luxury.”

Immediately, Tabitha furrowed her petite brows. “She’s my friend, so what’s wrong with inviting a friend, over? My family is very understanding. No one would mind.”

Petra’s expression tensed a bit as she said, “She’s still got work, so she really can’t make it over.”

Tabitha was taken aback when she heard that. “What? Ajob? Based on her schooling situation here, shouldn’t she be in her junior year of high school?”

“She’s not good at studying, and she started working right after middle school,” Petra said dismissively.

Tabitha became even more surprised. She distinctly remembered that Heidi loved reading when she was a child. She had said that her father and brother didn’t like her, so she needed to stride t

Back then, Heidi was even more studious than Tabitha was. Despite moving abroad during junior high, she would occasionally call her, and their conversations would inevitably turn to their studies. Even though their communication eventually dwindled, in Tabitha’s memory, Heidi was the type to never abandon her education.

Being a kind–hearted girl, Tabitha began to speculate, wondering if it was a case of gender bias, where Heidi’s father and brother didn’t let her study, instead making her work to support her brother. But that didn’t seem plausible, because Petra worked for their family and was paid well. There wouldn’t be any financial pressure in supporting two children through university.

Tabitha was perplexed, but she had her own little scheme. She had coaxed Petra into giving her a phone, and then secretly found out Heidi’s current contact information.

She quickly got in touch with Heidi. She could hear the surprise and cold detachment in Heidi’s voice. Considering they hadn’t seen each other in a while, it made sense that they felt like strangers. She invited her over to her house, offered her gifts, and thought it would be a good opportunity to catch up. If Heidi was facing any difficulties, she was ready to lend a hand as much as she could.

Since her childhood, she had often lent a hand to Heidi, so she didn’t think much of it. She had the means to help a friend, and thus, she didn’t overthink it.

Afterwards, Tabitha shared her thoughts with the others on inviting Heidi over for a visit. Naturally, no one had any objections. After all, this was Tabitha’s home, so she had the freedom to invite anyone she wished.

In the end, Tabitha expressed her desire to join everyone at the amusement park located at the rear, specifically the one designed for youngsters. It was mostly Nina and Callahan who were playing there, while the other adults politely declined.

In the end, despite their resistance, Janice and Rosalie found themselves on the guest list due to persistent invitations.

The following morning, when Isabella descended, she spotted two people struggling in the living room.

“Who told you to come over?”

“What’s wrong? Did I embarrass you or something? It was Tabitha who invited me.”

“You… She was just being polite, that’s all!”
