Chapter 97 What It Means To Like Someone

Eileen used to be ruthless and willful, often leading the bullying of others. However, with the arrival of Elm, she gradually found herself isolated and oppressed, becoming the one

As the sky darkened and the temperature dropped, her shawl was no longer sufficient to ward off the chill. Eileen had the Friedman family’s housekeeper fetch another bottle of safflower oil, which she used to massage her ankles. It took over half an hour for the swelling to finally subside.

“Yes, it is. Could you please put it on the table for me? It’s rather inconvenient for me right

“Got it.” Eileen’s dress lacked pockets, making it inconvenient to carry a phone. Typically, phones would be stored in the deposit box at the entrance when they arrived.
