16 That Was Because She Loved Him (1/2)

The maid stood up. There was a glint of sympathy in her eyes. However, it quickly vanished as a look of contempt replaced it. It was a look solely reserved for a person who had caused her own sister's death. No matter how kind she was, if it wasn't for her, their master would have not turned into an unpredictable, moody person like he was now.

The door loudly closed with a bang. Xia Ruoxin lowered her head. A fog had gathered in her eyes. He could really find ways and means to humiliate her every minute.

Dressed in a maid's attire, she was a maid in status. She might have married him, but this was his warning to her that she would never be his wife. To him, she was only a servant.

With trembling hands, she took the clothes from the bed and wore it. Her quiet and exquisite face would never find happiness again. Maybe she never had happiness to begin with!

”Madam, from now on, at this timing, you will do all the chores in this house. This was Master's instruction,” she solemnly said with barely any expressions on her face. Even the maid in the mansion treated her like she was not the mistress.

For half a day, she towed herself away as she worked in the two-story luxurious villa. After a grueling day's work, she let herself rest. As she looked at the huge villa, it only amplified her emptiness and it frightened her even more.

This was still her newlywed period.
