Chapter 106: A Pair of Foes
With the plan set, I wasted no time and, after lunch, I dressed up and headed out in my car. Before long, I noticed Sherry’s car discreetly following behind. I smirked and directly drove to the hospital and then to the physical therapy center, engaging in a series of rehabilitation exercises.
The doctor had recommended more exercise for me as it would significantly aid in my recovery. Just after finishing the workout, Scarlette arrived. We cheerfully left the hospital together, heading to a cafe with a back entrance, leisurely enjoying the afternoon.
We stayed until it was time to pick up the kids. I was confident that Sherry was like a dog, patiently waiting somewhere outside. So, I quietly left through the backdoor with Scarlette, picked up Ollie, and returned home.
As expected, even when I came back, there was no sign of Sherry until it was time for Alice to bring Charles inside. Sherry hurriedly returned, visibly shocked and bewildered when she saw me casually sitting on the living room sofa, playing with the children.
As the hostess, I wasn’t too pleased. I looked at her with a dark expression and said, ‘Sherry, when you go out, at least be mindful of the time or give us a call if you’re going to be late. The whole family is waiting for you. The kids have been at school all day and are hungry now!’
Only then did she realize her mistake. Despite holding back her anger, she found an excuse to apologize before quickly changing her clothes and rushing into the kitchen.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
I snorted disdainfully. Remember, no matter what, you are still a nanny.
When Robert returned from work, and dinner wasn’t ready, he, as usual, always dines when he gets home. But waits for a while and then finally gets angry and asks with a cold face what’s going on. I assumed a calming demeanor and softly explained, ‘Sherry had something to attend to and returned late. Just wait a bit, or you can go take a shower first.’
These days, Robert’s complexion wasn’t great, and he seemed visibly tired. I suggested to him, ‘Or you can rest for a while. Once everything is ready, I’ll have Alice call you.’
While Alice and Charles were playing a shooting game, Alice, without revealing any emotion, added, ‘Sis, why have you been going out so much lately? The other day, I saw you whispering with a chubby man. Who was that? He looked so familiar!’
Sherry, who was bustling around, noticeably stiffened. I glanced at Alice; the troublemaker was really something. She and her sister were truly a pair of foes.
Robert’s face darkened, and he turned and headed upstairs.”
Alice then coaxed Charles to my side, smiling and saying, ‘Mrs. Brown, I’ll go help out; I’m starving!’
Sherry glared fiercely at Alice, clattering the utensils with irritation. Alice, ever playful, continued, ‘Sherry, be careful; these utensils are quite expensive!’
I almost burst out laughing, wondering about the unresolved enmity between these two sisters.
The next day, under Sherry’s watchful eye, I went to the massage parlor for a full-body spa. Lying there was incredibly relaxing, but Sherry must be exhausted.
Throughout the week, I continued to indulge in various outings. I assumed Sherry must be getting a bit impatient, and it was time for her to reap some rewards.
