Chapter 403 - A na?ve and an innocent Mei Li (2/2)
”I'll go see your aunt. You should go to sleep,” Mrs. Si said and patted her son's shoulder. Then, she went to the studio to see Angela. Albeit she was dissatisfied with the way Angela was behaving today, she knew not to exclude Angela in her plan. This sister-in-law of hers could help her in wooing Ryn. And she needed her to invite Ryn to come to the house frequently.
When she entered the room which Angela claimed as her studio, her brows knitted together seeing how messy it was. Unlike her son's tidy room, this studio was filled with canvasses both painted on and unpainted. There were even brushes piling here and there, unwashed. Clucking her tongue disapprovingly, Mrs. Si searched for her sister-in-law. In order to keep her in this house without having another crazy idea of moving out, Mr. Si converted three rooms into one and prepared everything needed for her working area.
”Angela!” she called when, after walking for several minutes, still could not find the younger woman. She really needed to talk with her lovely husband about insisting to put a maid here to tidy up the room. She was getting crazy from stepping onto brushes and weird things on the floor while looking for Angela. Her thick fur slippers could not protect her from the pain. Her poor feet.
No answer. ;
Her face darkened. If she was not mistaken, she was entering the second 'room' and more canvasses and weird things lying around messily. Seriously, someone should learn to tidy the place after using it.
After fifteen more minutes of walking, she finally reached the last section and, as she panted breathlessly, found her sister-in-law sleeping.
Yes, Angela was sleeping soundly on the sofabed!
No wonder when she called for Angela, that silly girl did not reply. Not even once.
She bent while panting hard. Then, she looked for the water cooler and found another glass to fill. Luckily, she commented silently, her husband put a water cooler here. Angela requested it because she said it was troublesome to call a maid to deliver her drink whenever she was thirsty. Her husband even installed another bathroom for Angela to clean herself. ;
In fact, this studio was like a mini bedroom for Angela, and she always slept here, especially when she was busy completing her commission.
It was tiring to come here. Maybe she should ask her husband to install a small vehicle here, something like a small car or something? But most importantly, this place should be cleaned out. So messy!
She put back the glass once she finished drinking two glasses of water. She wiped her face with her sleeve and looked at her sister-in-law who was snoring happily. Without warning, she used all her strength and pulled the blanket off her sister-in-law's body. ;
Due to the coldness of the room, once the blanket no longer covering her body, Angela frowned and shivered. Her hands started to move, searching for something to keep the coldness away. She did not even open her eyes once, refusing to wake up.
Mrs. Si frowned when she saw how stubborn Angela was. She threw the blanket to the floor and shook Angela's shoulder.
”What? Ten more minutes,” Angela murmured, frowning. She refused to wake up and even turned around backing Mrs. Si, wanting to continue to sleep. Her stomach was so full, it made her drowsy. She needed to sleep to digest all the food she just had.
”Angela, wake up,” Mrs. Si called her sister-in-law, shaking her shoulder even harder.
”What? I'm sleeping,” Angela groaned, finally blinking her heavy eyes opened. She looked at her sister-in-law blankly before turned around again to back her.
”Angela, wake up! Stop sleeping,” Mrs. Si ordered.
”Fine. Fine. I'm awake. What? Why?” Angela rubbed her sleepy eyes.
”I want you to call dear Catherine,” Mrs. Si didn't waste any more time and ordered.
”Call Ryn? Why?”
