Chapter 37: Ashen Face
"You are too kind of a baroness. I heard that you needed to go early today, go ahead! After all, you are working overtime starting tomorrow. One day would not hurt." Maybelline gulped. She had not even whispered that she needed to go out early. How did Olivia know about it!
Could it be that a devil had possessed her body? Olivia rolled her eyes, looking at Maybelline’s ashen face.
"It is written all over your face, Baroness. If you are tired like this, I might change my mind." the woman flustered and bit her lips. But holding her dress she left hurriedly with a nod.
It looked more like she was running away.
"Wow! Could you see that! The prim and proper woman who had always scolded me to run was running away like ghosts are following her." Leo walked closer and stared at leaving Maybelline with astonishment.
Olivia laughed amused and then pulled his ears.
"You little..! Why were you not studying, huh?" looking at the narrowed eyes of his aunt, Leo stopped wriggling and lowered his head in embarrassment.
"She hit Abi with her stick. I told her I will study once Abi is treated. She did not let Abi apply the medicine, so..." he shrugged, making Olivia sigh.
"What if she had beaten you too, you fool!" She did not know how to deal with this hot-tempered child.
