Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 126

He should buy her more in the future, and have her wear them more often…

Josephine gave Zachery two small potted plants for his desk.

One was a pine bonsai, hoping he would “relax.”

The other was mint. No special meaning, just to keep mosquitoes away from his desk.

They were just cheap little things, but Zachery held them like treasures, completely satisfied.

Belinda couldn’t sleep and wanted someone to keep her company.

But her father hadn’t come home yet, and Zoey had taken leave.

She had no choice but to look for Auntie Helena.

She searched all the rooms but couldn’t find anyone.

Belinda walked out of the main building, planning to check the music room in the annex.

It sounded like someone was talking in the garden.

Belinda recognized Auntie Helena’s voice.

She tiptoed over and hid behind a pillar.

She wanted to wait until Auntie Helena finished talking to the plumber, then jump out and scare her…

Helena handed the plumber some money and said patiently:

“This money should last you a long time. Take it and leave this place.”

After speaking, she looked around warily.

Zoey and Wilfred weren’t home, and she had sent all the servants to the annex. There were no cameras here, so no one would find out.

But the plumber refused, stubbornly saying:

“I want to earn my living with my own skills. Why does Ms. Pollard keep trying to make me leave? Are you afraid the photos will be exposed?”

“I never asked you to take any photos.”

From behind the pillar, Belinda peeked out, seeing Auntie Helena unhappy for the first time.

There was a fierce glint in her eyes.

The plumber said, “Do you really want me to say it? You had me cut off the water and electricity at Josephine’s house, forcing her to go to Zachery’s home to shower, and even take photos…”

“I’ll give you another hundred thousand, is that enough?” Helena’s tone softened again.

What bad luck, running into someone so stubborn and not interested in money.

She had tried to get rid of him several times, but he just wouldn’t leave.

Every day he hung around under Zoey and Wilfred’s noses, like a ticking time bomb…

Behind the pillar, Belinda listened in utter confusion.

She only remembered one thing: her mom went to Natalia’s dad’s place to shower, and there were photos taken…

That’s outrageous!

How could Mom go to Natalia’s dad’s place to shower?

Dad definitely doesn’t know about this. She had to call and tell him right away…

Belinda was wearing indoor slippers.

She made almost no sound when she walked.

After entering the living room, she started to run.

She ran straight back to her room and asked the robot to call her father.

She called twice, but no one answered.

The third time, Wilfred picked up.

“Dad is still busy and will be home later.”

“But Dad, I have something to tell you…”

“Okay, as soon as I get home, I’ll come find you and listen to what you have to say.”

The call was disconnected.

Belinda pouted and lay back down on her bed.

Not long after, Helena pushed open the door to the children’s room.

Seeing Belinda sound asleep, she let out a sigh of relief.

Just now in the garden, she thought she heard a hissing sound.

She turned to look, but saw nothing.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

Other than Belinda, there was no one else in the main building.

Helena wanted to see if Belinda was pretending to sleep.

She walked to Belinda’s bedside and tickled her under the armpit with her index finger.

Belinda scratched herself, turned over, and continued sleeping.

Only then did Helena finally relax completely.

Just now, she had given the electrician another five hundred thousand, making it a total of one million.

The electrician finally agreed to leave Rose Manor.

When Wilfred came back, all she had to say was that the electrician left on normal terms.

Helena waited and waited until three in the morning.

When Wilfred returned, he first went to the children’s room to check on Belinda. His tired face finally showed a rare smile.

After tucking Belinda in, he returned to his own bedroom.

Helena brought a bowl of ginseng soup for Wilfred.

Wilfred couldn’t drink it, set it aside, and asked Helena, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

Helena helped Wilfred take off his suit jacket, looking every bit the gentle wife waiting for her husband to come home, and said softly:

“I was waiting for you.”

“You don’t have to wait for me. I’ll be quite busy these days.”

Helena asked, “Will the X3 Chip project continue?”

Wilfred had long regarded Helena as family and had never thought of hiding anything from

her.
