Chapter 563 She Can’t Bear The Kindness
Natasha originally wanted to say something, but Sean was looking at her coldly. His gaze was unfriendly, and there was a warning in his eyes. It seemed as though he could kill her instantly with his aura.
Natasha was terrified. There was no need for Mr. President to speak for her to know her place.
She could only say in a low voice, “I understand. I will not act like this in the future, Madam.”
Yvonne returned to the study and closed the door. She said apologetically, “I’m sorry, my maid is too insensible.”
Sean curled the corner of his mouth and said meaningfully, “Eli is not a person to be trifled with. Even I do not dare to bully her. Your maid should stay away from her so that she won’t… cry in the future.”
That was a statement for sure.
Yvonne understood his hint. He had decided to let this matter slide this time, and she knew that she would not be able to protect Natasha the next time.
Yvonne changed the topic with a smile, “Eli is a very interesting girl. I feel that it has become livelier here after her arrival. I like her straightforward personality.”
“You should take care of her and teach her the necessary. She is unwilling but if she really put her heart to it, she probably won’t cause you any trouble,” Sean said.
“Okay. I could take her to the Cabinet and get her in touch with those officials and their wives. By the way, what should we do about Stella?” Yvonne asked.
Sean tapped the table lightly with his fingers. His gaze was mature beyond his age. “Quinn Zellweger is not at my disposal. Jasper’s death has nothing to do with Christian. Those old guys are all suspects in murdering him. What they want is my current position. It’s not a bad idea for me to sit back and let Stella suppress them instead. We’ll not do anything for the time being.”
“I know what to do. Stella is quite powerful. It only took her a few months to pull Christian down from being the Minister of Finance. In the past, I wouldn’t even dare to think about it. But now, it seems that the Minister of Education might lose his position soon too.
Since she’s so powerful. I’m also a little worried that she would come to oppose us. After all, the more other people’s forces are weakened, the more powerful she’ll become. Who are you going to appoint to be the new Minister of Finance then?” Yvonne asked.
“Everyone is coveting that position. It is not easy to become the Minister of Finance. Stella has her own goals. However, I am certain that she doesn’t want my position,” Sean affirmed.
“Are Quinn and Christian her targets?” Yvonne asked suspiciously.
“At that time, Christian blew up Jasper’s plane. Even if Jasper’s real cause of death had nothing to do with Christian, Stella will not let him go. She wants to find the murderer who had assassinated Jasper and avenge Jasper. She will leave after she has avenged Jasper,” Sean said.
“When the time comes, will she really give up the right to be that powerful?” Yvonne did not think so.
“You don’t understand Stella. She’s not an ambitious person. Everything she’s doing is all for Jasper’s sake,” Sean said.
“But Jasper is already dead,” Yvonne did not believe Sean’s words.
“He’s still living in her heart. She’d rather spend the rest of her time on her lover than on political affairs. Let’s not talk about Stella for now. We’ll take Eli with us to dinner,” Sean said. He always had the final say in everything.
Yvonne paused and slightly raised the corner of her mouth, “Okay, I’ll take her with me.”
“Good. I have already called the designer to come over and give her a makeover. They will design a few sets of clothes that suit her. You could also ask them to design a few sets of clothes for you,” Sean said and stood up.
“Sure, but the designed clothes would not be completed in time today though. I have a few sets of gowns which I haven’t worn yet. Her figure is about the same as mine. She should be able to wear them. I will let her come to my room and choose a few sets first. Is that okay?” Yvonne said.
“Yes, sounds good,” Sean said.
“We need accessories too. Since we’re the host, we should dress presentably. I happen to have some here. Since I don’t wear them anyway, I could give them all to her,” Yvonne said generously.
“There’s no need for that. She has a lot of jewelry. She likes those things. I’ll go out and talk to her first. She was angry just now,” Sean said. He didn’t hide his thoughts.
“Well, tell her that I’m sorry, Natasha is still young,” Yvonne said.
“She doesn’t have a good memory, so she will forget about it soon,” Sean explained, opened the door, and went downstairs.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Eli was lying on the sofa watching TV. She was in high spirits, hence, she didn’t pay attention to Sean, who was making his way downstairs.
“What are you watching?” Sean asked.
“That man is the ex-husband of the female lead. He cheated on the female lead when she was pregnant and got together with her bestie. Now his money has been conned by her bestie. The child in her belly is not his, but his friend’s. It’s karma, isn’t it,” Eli explained.
Sean smiled and sat down beside her. “And then?”
“Then the female lead found a handsome guy to be her boyfriend. The handsome guy treats her very well. His family has money and power, and the mother-in-law is also very accepting of her. Now, she is pregnant with the handsome guy’s child,” Eli continued.
“Where is the female lead’s child?” Sean asked.
“The child is gone. She was pushed down the stairs by her friend. I really hope that the guy ends up dumping the bestie. That man is a little stupid. He got cheated,” Eli explained.
“It sounds very interesting,” Yvonne sat down on the sofa next to her.
When Eli heard Yvonne’s voice, she regained her senses and sat up straight away. It was a little awkward.
Although Yvonne and Sean had agreed to marry each other and Yvonne also had someone whom she liked, they were still husband and wife after all. She still felt bad about her presence in the household.
Yvonne smiled and said softly, “It’s alright. You can lie down.”
Eli smiled politely at Yvonne. She leaned against the sofa, unable to continue watching the TV anymore.
The atmosphere in the room had gotten a little strange. Eli looked at Yvonne secretly.
She was also watching TV. Even in her own home, she was still poised and graceful. Her back was straight, her legs were closed, and her hands were lightly placed on her knees.
She, on the other hand, sat cross-legged on the sofa lazily.
She made a comparison in her heart and looked at Sean.
She didn’t know when he had leaned that close to her. He naturally put one hand on the back of the sofa behind her and pointed at his forehead with the other hand. His lips were pursed and his eyes focused, which made him look even more charismatic.
Fortunately, just like her, Sean was sitting lazily as well, so she felt much better in her heart. She then elbowed his stomach.
“Uh…” Sean let out a muffled groan as he looked at her.
“I didn’t use that much strength. Look at her posture and yours. You’re the President,” Eli smiled and said.
“Stop it,” Sean held her hand. It was as though he was holding her in his arms.
Eli thought he had crossed the line in front of his wife.
She immediately withdrew her hand and stood up. “I don’t want to watch it anymore. You guys can go ahead. I’ll go back to my room.”
“Eli,” Yvonne also stood up and asked, “Are you free this afternoon?”
