Chapter 126
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
That loud noise of something shattering in the kitchen made me almost jump out of my seat.
“Madison?”
“I-I am truly sorry, Miss Samantha! The plate slipped from my hand! I am so careless. I am so sorry,” she said with a trembling voice as she picked up the broken pieces on the floor. I immediately ran towards her and helped her with pieces, telling her to be careful of the sharp edges.
“Don’t mind about it. I am more worried about you hurting yourself as you pick this.” I said to her, smiling gently. “You can leave this to me, though and just check if Diana or Devon is already up from their nap. They will surely look for you and ask for snacks.”
“But Miss Samantha—”
“It’s fine, Madison.” I held her hand to stop her from what she was doing. “I can do this. Just check on the kids and see if they need something.”
She gave me a nervous smile and nodded at me as she headed straight to the children’s room. There was hesitation on her face as she left me, but I gave her one last smile to show that it was alright.
Maybe I was only looking for something to do after I left the packhouse this morning. Devon was feeling a little sick so I had to go back and make sure he was comfortable and had everything he needed. Diana said that she would be absent from her tutorials as well and wanted to take care of her twin brother.
They were both overprotective of each other.
