Yolanda froze for a second. Once, a comment like that would’ve cut deep, but now she stayed calm. “Having kids is all up to Charles. I’ll go with whatever he wants,” she said.

Her obedience seemed to relax Flora. “Good you get that,” Flora smiled. “Take care of Charles, and we’ll treat you right.”

Yolanda said nothing, just kept massaging Flora’s legs. After half an hour, she lowered her head and moved to Flora’s back.

She’d spent two years learning traditional massage, all to keep Flora happy.

Yolanda bent down and picked up the shoes by the bed for Flora. Then she followed Flora out.

When they reached downstairs, Flora frowned, “Charles still not here?”

Yolanda thought, ‘Maybe he’s tangled up in Sophie’s sheets.’

Flora spun around, her voice sharp. “Why didn’t you come with him?”

“Granny, he’s swamped with work. I didn’t want to bug him about it,” Yolanda replied.

At this point, Flora couldn’t really say anything more. She just pressed her lips together and sat off to the side.
