Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

After the meal, in the living room, the TV was showing news about the country’s new energy developments.

After the meal, in the living room, the TV was showing news about the country’s new energy developments.

Aurora and Yvette lounged lazily on the sofa, neither sitting properly, looking as close as a mother and daughter. Aurora looked so youthful that people might even believe they were sisters.

Clifford handed Aurora a freshly made bowl of milk from the servant, and Aurora gave it right to Yvette. Her expression was full of genuine concern. “Yvette, eat up! We women need more milk. It’s good for our health.”

Yvette took her eyes off the TV and looked at the bowl of milk. She nodded. “Thanks.”

Aurora watched Yvette drink it down, then turned to Clifford. “Honey, could you ask Cara to bring out another bowl?”

Clifford hesitated for a moment. He thought, ‘I’m a senior director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I’m now turning into a housekeeper at home. It seems acceptable.’

Jeremiah glanced at Clifford without a word, thinking to himself ‘Who’s really better off in family status anyway?”

Clifford looked at James on TV and paused for a moment. He remarked, “Developing new energy has always been a priority for the national physics lab. For years there was no breakthrough, and then suddenly this year, they succeeded. Mr. Owens had had a hard time finding the right successor for the lab. None have met his standards. I heard he almost needed to be hospitalized from exhaustion recently. I wonder how he’s doing now.”

This topic naturally had a heavy tone. The older generation dedicated their entire youth to the country. Even in their old age, they couldn’t bear to leave the lab, never retiring. When they should’ve been enjoying their golden years, they were still working at the forefront. The patriotic spirit of people like Mr. Owens and his father was embedded in their bones, too deep to erase even in death.

Jeremiah peeled a shiny and clear grape for Yvette and placed it on her dessert. Then, he joined the conversation. “Mr. Owens is feeling better. Yesterday, Yvette met with him, so everything should be fine.”

Clifford looked at Yvette in surprise, as she showed no expression. He was quite surprised that Yvette actually knew Mr. Owens.
