Mrs. Olsen looked toward Taylor. “Keira is bringing her husband home tonight; let’s get the kitchen ready,” she

said.

Taylor seemed a bit impatient. “If she’s coming, she’s coming. What’s there to prepare? Shirley, you’re just too good to her!”

Good, she would make Keira pay today!

With a smile, she said, “Then I’ll get Jake to come home for dinner too. After all, it’s Keira’s husband’s first visit

Hearing that, Mrs. Olsen couldn’t help but frown and interjected, “Remind Jake to bring fewer gifts when he

comes.”

Isla was taken aback.

She clenched her fists tightly!

him?!

She felt anger, thinking that Mrs. Olsen’s favoritism had had gone too far.

Seeing her displeased expression, Mrs. Olsen quickly
