Chapter 1536
“Tess?” Renee asked hesitantly. It could only be Tess, but Renee became cautious when there was no answer. She asked coldly, “You’re not Tess?”
“It’s me, Ms. Everheart.” Finally, Tess spoke, but she didn’t sound like her usual lively self.
Frowning, Renee asked, “Is something wrong?”
“Nothing. I… Something happened with my family.” Tess tried to sound more cheerful as she asked, “What can I do for you, Ms. Everheart?”
“Oh, get the loose-knit sweater on the left side of the wardrobe for me.”
“Okay.” Tess nodded and walked over to the wardrobe and got the sweater, then handed it to Renee.
Renee took the sweater and put it on skillfully. Although she was blind, she could take care of herself just fine. In Tess’ opinion, it was easier to work for Renee than other healthy employers. She also genuinely liked Renee, but… Tess sighed as she stared at her beautiful and kind employer. It was time to go downstairs for breakfast. She usually prepared a glass of milk, whole-wheat toast, and fruits for Renee.
At the dining table, Renee elegantly drank some milk and chewed her toast. She turned to Tess and asked, “Is there something troubling your family? Tell me if you need anything, and I’ll try to help if I can.”
“No..
” Feeling conflicted, Tess bit her lip. “My family members usually fight among themselves… I’m used to it.
Thank you for your concern, Ms. Everheart.”
“You’re welcome. You’re my eyes now that I’m blind. I should be thanking you instead.” Renee had full trust in Tess, who was smart, attentive, gentle, and kind. Renee liked to spend time with her, and when she was bored, she would often talk to her too.
“Well, I think a family can’t be too harmonious. It’ll be warmer with the occasional fight. It’ll be fine as long as the family members love each other.
” Renee tried to console Tess. She recalled her occasional fights with Stefan and found that she usually discovered their problems during their fights. As they fixed their issues together, their relationship would become stronger.
Ms. Everheart, you’re so nice…” Tess looked at Renee with watery eyes, feeling torn. If she hadn’t been forced, she would never have harmed Renee because she was the kindest employer she had worked for and the one who gave her the most respect.
“Haha! Tess, you’re weird today. Why are you being so sentimental?” Renee asked with a laugh.
