Chapter 124: "Elliana's Heartache"
Calming her mind, Elliana straightened her back and put down the pen on her hand.
The stack of papers around her acted as a natural barrier for those who wished to provoke her in the middle of her working time.
She could just slap the other party with those papers. Of course, Elliana put aside those thoughts and nodded at the maid.
"Me. Look. Ain." Elliana blurted out another speech as she waved her hand, gesturing to the maid to leave.
She would just visit Ainsley before breakfast and take care of the baby.
There won't be anything wrong with that.
As if getting a death amnesty, the maid hurriedly bowed.
"Thank you, your excellency! I'll excuse myself!" The middle-aged maid instantly scurried away from the library, not daring to even come back.
The library regained its silence, and the only thing one could hear was the sound of the flipping paper and the pen's scrubbing the documents.
Elliana continued her study and her work as a temporary family head. The lady was immersed in her job until 8 a.m. It was finally time for breakfast.
Creak…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElliana pushed back the wooden chair as she stood up straight. The woman stretched her body lightly with her face still void of any emotion. One could only see a flash of gentleness in her eyes when she thought of Ainsley, her master.
"Boss…" Elliana mumbled as she lightly walked out of the library, leaving her working desk for a while.
The woman applied her speed ability to her legs, and in just a few seconds, with simple strides, the woman arrived in front of Ainsley's bedroom.
Upon seeing the familiar creamy door, Elliana paused her steps. Her eyelashes fluttered as the woman stretched her hand toward the door. Her long fingers lightly brushed past the marble door's surface.
The cooling sensation sent a slight chill to the woman's bone, but she ignored it. With complicated eyes, Elliana pushed open the door as carefully as possible.
She didn't create any sound when she opened the door, fearing waking up the young miss or disturbing her.
The familiar girlish baby room appeared in front of Elliana's eyes, bringing memories upon memories surging to her mind.
This room…
Elliana took a deep breath. The flower scent lingering in the air flooded into her lungs, easing her mind.
The woman then closed her eyes for a few seconds before her eyelids trembled and her crimson pupil enlarged.
Boss….this room…
Only now Elliana realised that the baby's room was exceptionally small for a family head. Even if she's just a puppet, she should have got a better room with better security measures.
But...she didn't have any of that.
Pain flashed through Elliana's eyes. She clutched her chest and felt her heart ache for the baby, who was sleeping soundlessly in her crib.
She didn't even complain when she got such an unbefitting bedroom…and now the maids didn't take care of her for 'various reasons'.
Elliana's breath stalled. It was as if something clawed her heart, sending numbing feelings to her bone.
My boss...why is she so pitiful?
Elliana's eyes wavered. Her eyelids grew hot for a second, and tears almost clouded her eyesight. Elliana couldn't help but feel emotional ever since that maid said that the maids couldn't take care of Ainsley for a moment.
How could she not know that the maid just lied to her? She knew that woman was lying, but...what could she do?
If she forced the maids to keep taking care of Ainsley when they said they had something else to do, wouldn't they lash out their frustration to the baby?
What if they bullied Ain behind her back? She's busy with the temporary family head's business, so...she couldn't stay with Ain every single minute.
If the baby didn't tell her that she was bullied, no one would know. Maybe if the Godfather spirit descended, none would bother to bully her, but if he didn't?
Elliana's mind wandered everywhere. She thought of the worst-case situation that might happen to her master, not knowing that Ain wasn't as weak as she thought.
Deep down, Elliana knew that Ain was far from weak. She knew that her master was someone incredible, not befitting of her age.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, with her tender heart, Elliana still viewed Ainsley as someone that she had to protect. When the baby said that she would protect her with her frail body, she already swore to protect the baby in return.
There's no way I need a baby to protect me! I have to be the one to protect her.
Elliana took a deep breath, and her mind calmed down. Her crimson eyes didn't waver this time, and the woman proudly strode toward the crib.
With a slight stiff smile on her face, Elliana mustered up her courage to wake up Ainsley.
"Boss! Wake up!" The woman touched Ainsley's tender face and squeezed her cheeks, hoping to wake her up. In her mind, the baby would slap her fingers and glared at her with a pair of adorable sapphire eyes.
However, contrary to her imagination, Ainsley didn't react at all. The baby kept sleeping while breathing peacefully. Even the sacred guardian lying on her side also didn't seem to notice Elliana's presence.
Elliana's eyebrows were knitted together without her knowing.
"Boss?" Elliana nudged Ainsley's cheeks once more before trying all sorts of trickery to wake her up, starting from tickling the baby, persuading her with food, and so on.
Elliana even shook Ainsley's body with all of her might, but Ainsley just breathed in and out, seemingly unaware of what Elliana did to her.
In that instant, Elliana's face crumbled.
Something...something is wrong with the young miss!
