The day when we moved house, James stood at the door with a dark face.
“Catherine, do you think you’re still a three–year–old? Why are you being so childish? I can’t believe you’re doing, this just because I said something that you didn’t like to hear.”
I remained silent and stood outside my new house. I just watched the cleaner cleaning my house.
Laura seemed to be a little scared of Janies. She kept her arms wrapped around my legs the whole time.
Brenda, on the other hand, held a doll in her hand with a proud look on her face.
There was a ding, and the members of the Somerfield family walked out of the elevator.
They ignored me and walked straight into James’s house. They hugged and kissed Brenda.
“Hey, darling, are you happy living with your dad?”
“Look at what Uncle Jacob bought you, Brenda?”
They only seemed to have remembered me a while later.
“What are you doing standing there? Go and make Brenda some food!” said Jacob.
‘Well, looks like they really think I’m a nanny. Damn it! My chest is aching again,‘ I thought.
My chest used to only hurt once every couple of days, but due to my recent moods, it began to hurt a couple of times per day.
Every time when my chest began to ache, I would break into a cold sweat.
After the cleaner was done with the cleaning of the house, she walked out with the cleaning tools in her hands. ” I’ve finished cleaning your house, Ms. Somerfield. Do you want to check my work?”
I endured the pain and said, “Thank you. Here’s the money for this job. You can come to my house once a week in the future.”
I had been too stupid in the past and really treated myself as a nanny.
I did all the chores in the house. That included the laundry, cooking, and all the other cleaning around the house.
I only realized now that I could hire somebody else to do all those things.
James had to give me half of the money he earned anyway, so I might as well spend them.
