Chapter 190: Hated Every Moment
Lily stared daggers at Welma. She was holding a tray with just a jug of water and a cup. "Where are you coming from?" she asked. Lily didn’t even try to hide the accusation in her tone.
Welma’s eyes flickered to the tray before she responded. "Rose’s room," Welma said with an unwavering smile. "The crown prince gave me orders. I don’t think I should disclose exactly what those orders are."
Lily didn’t believe her words, but there was no way to confirm if the woman was lying or not. "Very well," Lily answered coldly and stepped to the side to continue her journey.
Welma stepped to the side with her, blocking Lily’s path, her smile still on her face. "What about you?" she said sweetly, glancing down at the tray again. "What are you doing with that? I don’t think it’s time for lunch just yet."
Lily gripped the tray tightly as she watched Welma look around. Lily knew exactly what Welma was doing. Not only was she questioning her, but Welma was also asking why she was alone.
"Not yet," Lily said, unbothered by Welma’s looks and insinuation. "But I didn’t think there was something wrong with giving Rose some water just before lunch."
Lily called Rose’s name easily. She wasn’t going to lie that it was for someone else, and if Welma thought there was anything wrong with this, she should say so—and explain why she thought it was wrong.
"No," Welma said and stepped to the side to let her pass. "I suppose there’s nothing wrong with that."
Lily didn’t like the way she said it, especially the smile that hadn’t shifted from her face even once. Welma bothered her, and it was the undertones in her words that made it even worse.
Edna left today in the worst way ever, and it was because she was friendly with Rose. It was almost like Welma was reminding her of that.
