Christy curled her lips into a smile and said, “You guys can go do your work. I’ll take my leave first.” Crystal nodded. Aletta glanced at Crystal before following Christy upstairs.
Time passed very fast in the morning. At noon, Crystal was having lunch with Anaya. Crystal was looking at the menu when Anaya’s phone rang. She saw the caller ID and hesitated for a moment before saying to Crystal, “I’m going out to answer a call.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Crystal nodded.
Anaya didn’t go far. Although Crystal didn’t want to eavesdrop, she still heard most of Anaya’s conversation. “What’s wrong?”
“Didn’t I put the rice in the microwave after I left? I made it myself… Why would I lie to you? I can’t go back now. I’m really busy. I’ve been rushing for an important job recently. If I ask for leave again, the boss will definitely be unhappy…” Anaya’s voice was tired, but she still tried to say gently, “I’ll go back. after work, okay? You can eat first. Didn’t you say you wanted to eat the braised pork ribs I made before? Have a try.”
The person on the other side of the phone probably compromised. Anaya added, “I have something else to do, so I’ll hang up first, okay?”
“Your mother is coming?” Anaya paused for a moment. “Didn’t you say that she would take care of your sister who was going to deliver the baby, so she wouldn’t come to Fairby for the time being?” “I didn’t mean to stop them from coming.

and “Yeah.” Anaya forced a smile and said, “It’s my boyfriend. We’ve been together for many years we’re planning to get married. He said that his mother and sister are coming to Fairby. I’ll have to pick them up after work.”
Crystal propped up her chin. “Anaya, why aren’t you happy when you mentioned your boyfriend?” Anaya pursed her lips and whispered, “No, I’m afraid I’ve been too tired recently.”
Crystal didn’t say anything more.
Anaya was about 25 or 26 years old this year, but her eyes were very old. She looked like an old woman who was dying. She always showed no spirit which caused her original outstanding appearance to no longer be eye-catching.
It seemed that she always had a very heavy burden on her body. Life made her unable to breathe, but there were other heavy things on her shoulder.
Crystal looked down and took a sip of lemon water. Then she said to Anaya with a smile, “Anaya, you
should eat more.”
Anaya took a deep breath and said, “Okay.”
At about five o’clock in the afternoon, Anaya left in advance. Aletta saw it from upstairs and clicked her tongue. “Did the one in her family cause trouble again?”
Christy glanced at Aletta and scolded her, “Didn’t I say that you’re not allowed to mention this again in the studio?”
Aletta held Christy’s arm and said, “Miss Bolton, you can’t stop the gossip. Previously, Anaya seduced someone else’s boyfriend, and her fiancé made a scene. It’s such a shame. It’s good enough that you’re willing to take her in. Why are you still protecting her reputation?” Christy looked at Anaya’s back and said with a smile, “I just…”
