A Husband For Killer Mom

290 Ch. 290 Jamie Arc (part 4) Loraine’s Letter

‘Hi, Jamie. How are you? If you ask how I am, I will tell you one thing. The Zhou family was very kind and welcomed me with endless warmth. Zhou Yu Huan has an annoying younger brother, and this damn brother wouldn’t accept my arrival. He took my portion of the meal, even took my chocolate pudding! He is a very, very annoying person! If you come to Hong Kong, be careful when you meet Zhou Yu Hue. I really hate him to the bone!’

Jamie read the letter at the antique shop near her school, smiling. Thankfully, Loraine found a better life there. Even though Jamie was envious that Loraine could get out of Deke Shu’s residence sooner, she was still genuinely happy for her friend.

Without delaying her desire to reply to the letter, Jamie sent a reply letter to her friend in Hong Kong.

‘Loraine, be careful with your feelings. People say that hate and love are only slightly different. Maybe one day you will even fall in love with him.’

Jamie chuckled at how Loraine would react when the girl read the reply. She could even imagine the girl’s cute face twisting her mouth like a fish’s while grumbling incoherently.

After sending a reply letter, Jamie returned to Deke Shu’s residence and became a maid. That was her daily life since childhood—she would go to school in the morning and continue to be a maid until evening. Her work was not as extensive as the other maids when Jamie was little. She was allowed to rest after sunset, so she could study for school and care for her health.

But now Jamie was in her last year of high school, and she didn’t plan to continue her studies because Deke Shu only paid for her education up to high school.

Even though Deke Shu was known as the cruelest and heartless man, this man still cared about the existence of all his employees. When someone was sick, the man paid for the treatment.

Jamie’s mother had faithfully worked at this place for decades, so Deke Shu was willing to pay for Jamie’s education from childhood until now. But the man would not pay for her college, and Jamie would have to find the money for her studies on her own if she still wanted to continue her studies.

.....

In the eyes of outsiders, Deke Shu was very petty and shrewd in controlling all his employees. But people like Jamie, who get help from Deke Shu, feel that man is benevolent.

Jamie lived peacefully and didn’t care about the riots, where the Luen group demanded Deke Shu about Loraine’s whereabouts. Even though it seemed that Deke Shu had sent all his men to look for Loraine, Jamie could see the older man had no interest in looking for his daughter.

Hence, as long as Deke Shu could still be relaxed, the servants working in this house also had nothing to worry about.

Day after day, month after month, it has been two years since Jamie replaced her mother as one of the assistant butlers. Her mother was very old and recently suffered backaches, preventing her from moving at will.

In the end, Jamie took her mother’s place and did an excellent job as an assistant butler.

Amid all her busy life as a server, Jamie’s favorite hobby was going to the antique shop to read Loraine’s letters. For the past few months, her friend’s letter had been about how close Loraine’s bond with Zhou Yu Hue was.

When Jamie teased Loraine about hate and love only differed a little; she never thought that her friend would actually fall in love with the young man.

From Loraine’s story, Zhou Yu Hue seemed to be a kind and warm young man—a perfect fit for Loraine’s cheerful and strong-willed. But Loraine ran into a dilemma with the letter she was currently reading.

‘Jamie! Guess what happened to me last night? Yu Hue asked me out, and we ate at a restaurant like any other couple. But strangely, there were all kinds of red and pink decorations, making me think there was a birthday celebration or something. But it turns out… Yu Hue asked my hand!! He gave me a breathtaking diamond ring, and I can’t take my eyes off it.

Jamie, tell me... am I dreaming? Two years ago, when my father forced me to marry, I decided not to marry for the rest of my life. But… when Yu Hue proposed to me, I immediately said yes, and great euphoria filled my brain.

But when I think about it, am I worthy of being his wife?

Yu Hue is a good man; brother Yu Huan and uncle and aunt Zhou also treat me well. It feels like they are my real family rather than my father and brother.

Brother Yu Huan was always there when I needed a big brother, and Yu Hue could always understand my mood and improve my moody heart.

While I… I haven’t told them who I am. I told them I knew your mother and… both my parents were dead. I’m just alone, and I exploit their sympathy for me.

What should I do? I thought I would hide it for the rest of my life because I would be out of their lives sooner or later. But… now I accept Yu Hue’s proposal, which means I will become their family.

What do you think? Should I hide my identity… or should I be honest? I have no idea what to do.’

Jamie read it with a frantic heart as if she was in Loraine’s current dilemma.

Frankly, Jamie didn’t know the answer. She had never been in love before because she had given up on love because of her disability. So she did not know what kind of reply she wanted to write to her best friend at the end of this country.

For the first time, Jamie decided to bring back the letter and would reply the next day. She wanted to ask her mother and ask for advice regarding Loraine’s current situation.

But when she arrived at her mother’s room, Jamie didn’t find her mother in her room, but a young man she feared the most.

Lawrence!
