Noella was about to add something more when she saw Palmer had already taken the quilt from Maddox’s hands and made her bed first, before casually laying out his own sleeping spot on the floor.
The more Maddox observed Palmer, the more he liked him. Just look at how he took care of Ms. Noella! If Old Mrs. Lambert could see this from the heavens, she would surely rest in peace!
Holding a kerosene lamp and rubbing his hands together, Maddox spoke up. “Ms. Noella, there’s something else: the upstairs bathroom is out of order, so you and the young master will have to go outside for showers and… well, you know.”
As a child, Noella had lived in a poor area where every household’s outhouse was located. outside, often sharing space with the pigsty. Later, Old Mrs. Lambert, citing the inconvenience of having to go outside for such needs, had a bathroom built upstairs just for her.
“Out of order?”
“Not exactly, just a small leak. I’ve got some cement and called the crew, but they haven’t arrived yet.”
Indeed, there were several unopened bags of cement by the bathroom door.
Noella nodded. “Got it, Maddox. You should get some rest too.”
Maddox left with a beaming smile, casting several glances back at Palmer and Noella’s little
room.
This gentleman, with his high status and a fortune worth billions, was still willing to stay with Ms. Noella in such a humble abode. It seemed his heart truly belonged to Ms. Noella!
Wiping away a tear, Maddox stepped out to the main hall to pay respects to Old Mrs. Lambert. “Harriet, rest easy now; your granddaughter is in good hands!”
The courtyard gate shut, and all was silent save for the rustling of the night breeze.
Noella, feeling a bit embarrassed, turned to Palmer. “Is it okay with you to shower in the little shed outside?”
Palmer, rising from his makeshift bed, answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “No worries. It’s actually better than staying at the hospital. I’ve got some spare clothes in the car; I’ll go grab them.”
“I’ll come with you.” Thinking she might as well take a shower after grabbing the clothes, Noella decided not to go back downstairs.
Palmer smiled, the corners of his lips lifting gently as he took her hand. “Watch your step, I’ve got you.”
