Chapter 3 The Little Housekeeper
Caroline’s heart clenched. In her memory, the head of the Faraday family had never been interested in
women. He often wore a cold look on his face as if he was completely devoid of emotions, and he had
been unattainable.
“Could it be that I’ve taken his first night?” Caroline wondered.
If that was the case, then it was no wonder he was so angry.
She was the one who took the initiative in the beginning, but when the man woke up, he flipped their
positions and pinned her underneath him.
Thinking of this, Caroline felt that the parts of her collarbone that he had nibbled on last night were
burning up, and even the discomfort throughout her b*dy was becoming oddly amplified.
“Honey, did you get the wrong person? This is Caroline. She’s just a little housekeeper who recently
started working here.”
As soon as Shirley noticed that the situation had gone awry, she immediately spoke up. Nevertheless,
she didn’t forget to toss Caroline a fierce glare, thinking, “Disgusting! Why is she so into seducing men?
Why doesn’t she take a look at herself in the mirror, huh?”
“A little housekeeper?” Nathan peered down at her, sizing Caroline up without the slightest change in
his expression.
Anxiety stirred within Caroline when she was faced with the man’s gaze. Still, she calmly lifted her face
and purposefully revealed the nasty scar on the right side of her face to him. “You’ve mistaken me for
someone else, Mr. Faraday. I don’t know you, and I’m just a housekeeper here.”
It was only then Nathan noticed the long scar that ran from the top to the bottom of the right side of
Caroline’s face. The hideous and eye-piercing scar had destroyed her beauty.
A slight frown crossed Nathan’s face as he mused, “Indeed, this face doesn’t resemble hers.”
Nevertheless, he still questioned her, “Then why did you run away just now?”
“I didn’t run, Mr. Faraday. I just wanted to get back to work in the kitchen.”
Nathan stared at Caroline for a couple more seconds before he affirmed that the face he saw in the
room belonged to Shirley.
But Shirley was by his side, and he had mistaken a housekeeper for her.
“You may go now.”
“Yes, Mr. Faraday.” Caroline turned around and went into the kitchen.
Then, Nathan headed upstairs, leaving Shirley behind.
…………
An infuriated Shirley rushed into the kitchen and found Caroline. “I’m warning you, Caroline! Don’t you
dare approach my husband in the future!” she warned.
Caroline merely cast a calm glance at the irritated woman. “I don’t want to approach him. In fact, I can
leave Royal Garden right now, but you have to let my grandma go!”
“Your task isn’t over just yet. I already told him that you’re a housekeeper here. If my husband doesn’t
see you around, it’ll arouse his suspicions, so you have to work as a housekeeper for the time being.”
“Work as a housekeeper here?” Caroline mused.
Her heart started racing when Caroline recalled Nathan’s condescending gaze toward her. She didn’t
want to stay here for another moment.
Alas, Caroline had no choice but to do as she was told when she thought about her grandmother, Nora.
“Shirley, you’d better give it your all to cement your position as Mrs. Faraday. I suppose you wouldn’t
want to make a fool out of yourself before me,” Caroline taunted. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing Caroline’s words, Shirley fell speechless.
Shirley looked into Caroline’s clear eyes. There was an inexplicable glimmer in them, and all Shirley
wanted to do at that moment was make Caroline go blind.
After all, it didn’t make sense for such an ugly woman to possess such a mesmerizing pair of eyes.
The truth was that Shirley had undergone extensive plastic surgeries. Back then, she spent a lot on
hiring a renowned plastic surgeon, who claimed that he once saw a stunning young lady on the bustling
street of Doveston. Hence, Shirley’s face was reconstructed based on the young lady’s.
However, when Caroline was brought back from the countryside, it was revealed that she looked
exactly like Shirley, save for the obvious scar on her face.
Shirley couldn’t help wondering if Caroline was the stunning beauty on the street of Doveston.
But at the same time, she found it unconvincing.
That was because Caroline was an ugly country bumpkin. She probably didn’t know where Doveston
was.
The raging jealousy in Shirley’s eyes slowly dissipated. No matter how beautiful Caroline’s eyes were,
they would never be able to hide that hideous scar on Caroline’s face, and an ugly woman would
always be ugly.
“Ugly freak!” Shirley uttered triumphantly before walking out, wriggling her hips as she did so. She then
ordered one of the housekeepers, Julie, “Let Caroline have the smallest housekeeper’s room, and
make her do the dirtiest and most tiring tasks!”
…………
Caroline returned to the housekeeper’s room and sat in front of the mirror, looking at the nasty scar on
her face. In truth, she wasn’t born like that.
