Love Her to No End

Chapter 76 Shocking Secret

“Old Mrs. Xander!

Martha came out of the bathroom and saw Mavis walking away from the kitchen. Recalling something and Martha laughed. “Ms. Michaela woke up at five this morning, saying she wanted to make soup for Old Mr. Xander. She kicked me out of the kitchen when I tried to help.”

“Oh.”

Mavis nodded. She might look fine at first glance, but upon closer look, she was absentminded. Her gaze wasn’t even focused on Martha when she replied to her. After muttering an acknowledgment, she turned on her heels to head back to the bedroom.

Martha was still rooted in place as she stared at Mavis’ back, thinking something was strange, but couldn’t put her finger on it.

Could it be that Ms. Michaela being in the kitchen had angered Old Mrs. Xander? Or has Old Mr. Xander’s condition worsened?

Speculations filled her mind when Mavis suddenly halted and whirled around to glance at Martha. Seeing Martha was still standing there, Mavis beckoned for her to approach.

Martha didn’t dare to drag her feet and immediately drew closer. “Nick’s condition had the entire family in an agitated state. Go to the backyard and get some vegetables and fruits.”

The Xander residence backyard was wide, so Mavis utilized the space and planted vegetables and fruits there in her free time. She didn’t use any fertilizers or pesticides, so everyone in the family could consume them without worry.

Martha instantly complied with Mavis’ demand and beelined for the door.

Seeing Martha disappear through the front door, Mavis cast a glance in the kitchen direction with a sigh. Suddenly, a deep, strong voice sounded from her back. “Why are you standing here sighing in the early morning? I’m not dead yet!”

“Touch wood! What nonsense are you saying? We’re old now, so stop saying all these taboo words around us. Don’t you have even a bit of common sense?”

Nick’s sudden appearance caught Mavis by surprise. Shooting a glare at Nick, she pushed him back to the bedroom and didn’t forget to shut the door.
