Chapter 248 - A PACKAGE
Chapter 248 – A PACKAGE
"I'm coming with you today, you don't have to go to the company," said Rebecca, Theodore's mother, to Aileen as she was getting ready to go to work, albeit with her legs wrapped in bandages.
Aileen preferred to be in her office, hiding behind a pile of work, rather than being at home with Rebecca.
"Why?" Aileen was not happy with the way Rebecca decided on this matter. She was in a bad mood right now.
This morning Aileen and Theodore had another fight.
Actually Theodore had good intentions, the man asked Aileen to stay at home and go for a check up after seeing the bandages around Aileen's ankles and hearing the news that she had just fallen down the stairs.
However, Aileen felt that she would go crazy and wouldn't be able to act more calmly if she had to be with Rebecca all day.
"Theodore said you fell down the stairs, so I want us to go to the hospital to check your womb, don't let anything bad happen to my grandchild because of your carelessness," Rebecca snorted in disgust because Aileen was asking too many questions.
"I've been to the hospital and my womb is fine," replied Aileen unkindly. Annoyance caught in her throat. She had a feeling that if she had to fight with Rebecca too, then she would really lose control.
Therefore, as much as possible, Aileen accelerated the process of applying make-up on her face so that she could quickly escape from there.
However, Rebecca didn't back down after hearing Aileen's refusal, instead she became angry.
"You really don't know yourself!" She rebuked loudly and made Aileen stop dabbing her lips with lipstick. She turned her head, waiting to hear what Rebecca would say to her next. "You know Theodore is paying attention to you, but you just ignore him. What do you think your husband is?!"
A sinister smile tugged at the corners of Aileen's lips when she heard the word 'attention' and Theodore being associated in the same sentence.
Aileen even forgot the last time Theodore had shown her any concern. Therefore, Rebecca's words sounded very funny to her ears.
"Did Theo just tell mom about my refusal?" asked Aileen lightly. Her voice was steady, despite the anger that was welling up in her chest.
"Yes!" Rebecca walked forward, as if challenging Aileen to refute this. "You should know better! Theo was already very tired of taking care of his work at the company, but now you're adding to the burden on his mind…"
"No need to worry, I'm sure Theo wouldn't even think about this at all." This one, Aileen was pretty sure. Theodore just wanted to take Aileen to the hospital to have her pregnancy checked, because of the suspicion that still was eating away his mind regarding this pregnancy.
This was also the reason why Aileen wanted to 'get rid of' her pregnancy immediately. Some people were starting to get suspicious.
It was already the fourth day since Aileen had dropped herself down the stairs and for the first two days no one noticed anything until Theodore came home from his business trip and saw Aileen's bandaged leg.
And since yesterday, this man had insisted on taking her to the hospital with the excuse that he was worried about their baby, even though Aileen had said that she got checked it herself.
Hell! Who didn't know what was really inside that man's head? Because after all, once upon a time Aileen was able to control Theodore, like a puppet.
Meanwhile, Rebecca didn't care about Aileen at all, as much as possible, they would try to avoid seeing each other eye to eye.
"Aileen!" Rebecca again rebuked Aileen for her words, if she hadn't thought about the baby in Aileen's womb, then she would have crossed this room and slapped the woman who didn't know how to behave. "Watch your words! How dare you speak like that."
"Sorry ma'am, but for now I have to go to the office, there are some important documents that must be signed." Aileen no longer wanted to finish her make-up because she preferred to get out of there as soon as possible, before she regretted what she was about to do or say.
"You really are ungrateful." Rebecca put on a haughty face as Aileen walked in front of her with a slight shuffle. "If it weren't for the child you are carrying is Gevano's flesh and blood, don't expect you to be able to enter this house and enjoy your status as the wife of Theodore."
Aileen stopped walking for a moment, took a breath while clenching her fists at her sides, then intended to leave and not respond, but Rebecca spoke again.
"I wish Theodore had woken up sooner from your influence so I could have had Hailee as my daughter-in-law instead of you," Rebecca said in a regretful tone.
Aileen's patience had run out in dealing with Rebecca's attitude, which was judged to have exceeded the limit. Not only that, the pressure that Aileen had been under recently was so great, that it was difficult for her to maintain her control if she was provoked.
"Enjoying my status?" Aileen turned around while squinting dangerously at Rebecca. "When did you see me enjoying my life here since I set foot in this house? I will never enjoy anything as long as you are still in this house. Don't think too highly of it."
Aileen didn't realize what she had just said until she saw Rebecca's shocked expression in front of her.
Well, she didn't regret it, it felt good enough to let out a little anger on this middle-aged woman.
After saying that, Aileen started walking again, leaving Rebecca who still couldn't seem to find the words to reprimand her because of the shock she was still going through.
Rebecca just woke up from her surprise when a servant brought her a brown package and then left after Rebecca received the package.
Rebecca's brows furrowed slightly when she saw the name of the sender on the package. "Hailee?" she muttered. What did she send?
