Because Victor had focused only on Rachel, he missed Joey’s mistaken statement.
“Lunch has been served.
After you finish cleaning up, you should cdownstairs for Lunch.” Victor’s demeanor was icy as he looked away.
He then walked away after he said that.
Rachel’s nervousness spiraled out of control even though she did not speak.
She was completely unaware that her fingers twitched when she spotted Victor.
She had no desire to eat and was ready to leave this place as soon as possible.
Joey abruptly grasped her hand and was going to walk out just when she was about to tell him she would eat lunch with him once they got home.
“Mommy, we should go now.
No need to be concerned.
I solicited feedback from others.

“Joey…” When Rachel saw Joey’s beautiful eyes and grin, she couldn’t declare she didn’t want to eat.
So she brushed that off.
“Is everything okay?” Joey asked, puzzled.
“It’s… Nothing.
We should be on our way,” Rachel said as she squeezed Joey’s cheek.
Joey’s dimples were clearly visible in his broad smile.
His two exposed canine teeth demonstrated his purity and simplicity.
Because of this, Rachel couldn’t bring herself to let him down.
They headed downstairs hand in hand.
Their first sight upon getting downstairs was of a cleaning woman at work.
Joey was friendly in his greetings to the cleaning woman.
The maid was overjoyed.
She returned a hasty grin before turning to
Rachel and calling out, “Miss Bennet.”
“How cyou know my identity?” It was apparent that the cleaning woman had already seen Rachel before, though Rachel couldn’t recall meeting her.
“I nearly forgot about it.
You were practically sleeping at the moment.
It’s understandable that you don’t recognize me.
Miss Bennet,
I changed your clothing,” the cleaning woman explained with a grin as she touched her forehead.
Astounded, Rachel said, “Did you really do that?”
“Mr.
Sullivan requested that I change your clothing, but I’m a sloppy person.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI’m very sorry.
However, it’s clear that Mr.
Sullivan goes out of his way for you.
He specifically instructednot to disturb you while changing your clothing.” She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.
She worked in a low-wage job.
She never had changed clothing for anybody, particularly Rachel, who had sensitive skin.
It was the cleaning lady’s greatest fear that she might offend Rachel and so be fired.
“Nothing.” Rachel’s pupils constricted.
The cleaning woman was the last person she expected to be responsible for changing her clothes, not even Victor.
Rachel muddled Victor’s meaning.
Rachel’s emotions were conflicted when she realized this.
She couldn’t figure out why.
Victor was already seated at the table when they entered the dining room.
Rachel was welcomed to have a seat by Joey, who kindly pulled out a chair for her and invited her to do so as a little gentleman.
In the end, they appeared like a family sitting together.
The chef served the food after the three had settled.
