You Are My One and Only

Chapter 56

However, Patricia didn’t appear surprised by her sister because Isaac had already visited her parents at the Aniston Residence. Therefore, it seemed to Patricia that there was nothing wrong with her showing up at Isaac’s house, considering the relationship between him and her. Without any interest in entertaining Adeline, she entered the kitchen with the ingredients in her hand and proceeded to put them in the refrigerator. Nevertheless, Adeline wouldn’t stop following her like a duckling as she demanded an answer from her. “Hey! I’m talking to you!”

Eventually, Patricia had enough of Adeline and grabbed a knife to which she pressed against the latter’s throat. “Shut the hell up, unless you want to die!”

Feeling the sharp blade on her skin, Adeline blanched with her eyes wide open. “A-Are you out of your mind? I’m Isaac’s fiancée. So, if I die, you’re going to jail, and your kids are going to be homeless for that.”

“Don’t worry about me. Someone will take care of them on my behalf.” Patricia smiled eerily, scaring Adeline with just a flex of her arm as the latter screamed and fled the kitchen fearfully.

“Help! Help!” Adeline was so scared that she delusionally thought Patricia was going to kill her, considering the terrible things they did to her back then. As long as this madwoman is still breathing, she will hunt us down with a knife in her hand.

In the meantime, Elizabeth and a maid heard the cry and rushed to the source of the voice to investigate what had happened. “What’s wrong?” the older lady asked in surprise as she came down the stairs seconds later. Bloody hell! What’s the screaming about?!

Adeline then quickly messed her hair to intentionally make herself look disheveled while crying and complaining. “This woman! She is trying to kill me with a knife!” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Soon, Patricia stepped out of the kitchen and glared at Adeline. “Oh, I wouldn’t dare to kill anybody.”

When Elizabeth saw Patricia, she smiled and said, “Tricia is a nice girl. What makes you think she will do something so cold-blooded?” The old lady then walked up to Patricia and seized her hand, asking, “What brings you here, Patricia?” It was then that she was reminded of Adeline, whom Hendrick wanted Isaac to marry. Nevertheless, Adeline failed to win either Isaac’s or Elizabeth’s hearts. On the other hand, Patricia began to grow on the lady more and more because of her genuine and sincere attitude after getting along with her a few times.

Meanwhile, a darkened look flashed across Adeline’s face when she saw how close Elizabeth was getting to Patricia. Dang you, Patricia! You must have come to ruin my life with Isaac! While her eyes were filled with an eerie indifference, a sinister thought crossed her mind. Patricia must die!

“I’m here to repay my debt.” Patricia reacted with a sweet smile. As ordinary as her words might have sounded, Elizabeth appeared to interpret them differently. She then glimpsed Patricia’s belly, suspecting that she could be pregnant with Isaac’s child. At that moment, her mood improved as there was no other exciting news than welcoming her great-grandchild to the world.

Although Patricia was already a mother of three, Elizabeth was kind enough to accept her past, thinking she must have met a man who treated her badly back then, not to mention the high divorce rate that was getting common. For that, she believed Patricia would live a happy life if she was married to Isaac, having absolute confidence in her handsome and outstanding grandson. Patricia is going to be the happiest woman in the world if she marries Isaac.

While Elizabeth seized Patricia’s hand and took her to the living room after telling the maid to prepare them some tea, Adeline was ignored and left behind, but instead of making the sensible choice of walking away, she decided that she should stay by Elizabeth’s side at the crucial moment. Therefore, she followed the ladies and sat down beside Elizabeth. “I must have misunderstood something back there, Old Mrs. Arnold. I didn’t know you both knew each other.”

Elizabeth nodded her head in response to Adeline’s flattering attitude. “Yes, Patricia and I are friends. By the way, how did you ladies know each other? Are you both a part of the Anistons? You two have the same last name.”

Adeline shot a cold gaze at Patricia and explained, “Oh, of course not. She is the daughter of a maid who served my family, but since my grandfather liked her a lot, he decided to name her with the last name of Aniston.”
